Expand description
A struct holding formatting information. This is the object which tabulates data.
Fields§
§columns: Vec<Column>
Implementations§
source§impl Colonnade
impl Colonnade
sourcepub fn new(columns: usize, width: usize) -> Result<Colonnade, ColonnadeError>
pub fn new(columns: usize, width: usize) -> Result<Colonnade, ColonnadeError>
Construct a Colonnade
with default values: left alignment, no column size
constraints, no blank lines between rows, 1 space margin between columns.
Arguments
columns
- The number of columns of data to expectwidth
- Viewport size in characters
Errors
ColonnadeError::InsufficientSpace
- the viewport isn’t wide enough for the columns and their margins
Example
let colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100);
sourcepub fn width(&self) -> Option<usize>
pub fn width(&self) -> Option<usize>
Returns the width of the colonnade in columns if the colonnade has already laid out data and knows how much space this data will require.
sourcepub fn tabulate<T, U, V, W, X>(
&mut self,
table: T
) -> Result<Vec<String>, ColonnadeError>where
T: IntoIterator<Item = U, IntoIter = V>,
U: IntoIterator<Item = W, IntoIter = X>,
V: Iterator<Item = U>,
W: ToString,
X: Iterator<Item = W>,
pub fn tabulate<T, U, V, W, X>(
&mut self,
table: T
) -> Result<Vec<String>, ColonnadeError>where
T: IntoIterator<Item = U, IntoIter = V>,
U: IntoIterator<Item = W, IntoIter = X>,
V: Iterator<Item = U>,
W: ToString,
X: Iterator<Item = W>,
Converts the raw data in table
into a vector of strings representing the data in tabular form.
Blank lines will be zero-width rather than full-width lines of whitespace.
If you need finer control over the text, for instance, if you want to add color codes, see
macerate
.
Arguments
table
- The data to display.
Errors
Any errors of lay_out
. If the data has already been laid out, this method will throw no errors.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
let data = vec![vec!["some", "words", "for", "example"]];
let lines = colonnade.tabulate(&data)?;
sourcepub fn macerate<T, U, V, W, X>(
&mut self,
table: T
) -> Result<Vec<Vec<Vec<(String, String)>>>, ColonnadeError>where
T: IntoIterator<Item = U, IntoIter = V>,
U: IntoIterator<Item = W, IntoIter = X>,
V: Iterator<Item = U>,
W: ToString,
X: Iterator<Item = W>,
pub fn macerate<T, U, V, W, X>(
&mut self,
table: T
) -> Result<Vec<Vec<Vec<(String, String)>>>, ColonnadeError>where
T: IntoIterator<Item = U, IntoIter = V>,
U: IntoIterator<Item = W, IntoIter = X>,
V: Iterator<Item = U>,
W: ToString,
X: Iterator<Item = W>,
Chew up the text into bits suitable for piecemeal layout.
More specifically, macerate
digests the raw data in table
into a vector of vectors of (String, String)
tuples
representing the data in tabular form. Each tuple consists of a whitespace left margin and
the contents of a column. Separator lines will consist of a margin and text tuple where the
text is zero-width and the “margin” is as wide as the table.
Maceration is useful if you wish to insert color codes to colorize the data or otherwise
manipulate the data post-layout. If you don’t want to do this, see tabulate
.
Arguments
table
- The data to display.
Errors
Any errors of lay_out
. If the data has already been laid out, this method will throw no errors.
Example
extern crate term;
// ... [some details omitted]
// text to put in tabular form
let text = vec![
vec![
"Colonnade lets you format text in columns.",
"As you can see, it supports text alignment, viewport width, and column widths.",
"It doesn't natively support color codes, but it is easy enough to combine with a crate like term.",
],
vec!["", "Two or more rows of columns makes a table.", ""],
];
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(3, 80)?;
// configure the table a bit
colonnade.spaces_between_rows(1).left_margin(4)?.fixed_width(15)?;
colonnade.columns[0].alignment(Alignment::Right).left_margin(8);
colonnade.columns[1].alignment(Alignment::Center).clear_limits();
// if the text is in colored cells, you will probably want some padding
colonnade.padding(1)?;
///
// now print out the table
let mut t = term::stdout().unwrap();
for row in colonnade.macerate(&text)? {
for line in row {
for (i, (margin, text)) in line.iter().enumerate() {
write!(t, "{}", margin)?;
let background_color = if i % 2 == 0 {
term::color::WHITE
} else {
term::color::BLACK
};
let foreground_color = match i % 3 {
1 => term::color::GREEN,
2 => term::color::RED,
_ => term::color::BLUE,
};
t.bg(background_color)?;
t.fg(foreground_color)?;
write!(t, "{}", text)?;
t.reset()?;
}
println!();
}
}
sourcepub fn reset(&mut self)
pub fn reset(&mut self)
Erase column widths established by a previous tabulate
or macerate
.
Note that adjusting any configuration that may affect the horizontal layout of data has an equivalent effect, forcing a fresh layout of the columns.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(3, 80)?;
colonnade.alignment(Alignment::Right);
for line in colonnade.tabulate(&[[100, 200, 300]])? {
println!("{}", line);
}
// 100 200 300
for line in colonnade.tabulate(&[[1, 2, 3]])? {
println!("{}", line);
}
// 1 2 3
colonnade.reset();
for line in colonnade.tabulate(&[[1, 2, 3]])? {
println!("{}", line);
}
// 1 2 3
sourcepub fn spaces_between_rows(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
pub fn spaces_between_rows(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
sourcepub fn priority(&mut self, priority: usize) -> &mut Self
pub fn priority(&mut self, priority: usize) -> &mut Self
Assign the same priority to all columns. By default, all columns have the lowest priority.
Priority determines the order in which columns give up space when the viewport lacks sufficient space to display all columns without wrapping. Lower priority columns give up space first.
Arguments
priority
- The common priority. Lower numbers confer higher priority; 0 is the highest priority.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
// assign all columns the highest priority
colonnade.priority(0);
// now demote the last column
colonnade.columns[3].priority(1);
sourcepub fn max_width(
&mut self,
max_width: usize
) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn max_width( &mut self, max_width: usize ) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign the same maximum width to all columns. By default columns have no maximum width.
Arguments
max_width
- The common maximum width.
Errors
ColonnadeError::MinGreaterThanMax
- Assigning a maximum width in conflict with some assigned minimum width.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
// assign all columns a maximum width of 20
colonnade.max_width(20)?;
// at most we will now use only 83 of the characters provided by the viewport (until we mess with margins)
sourcepub fn min_width(
&mut self,
min_width: usize
) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn min_width( &mut self, min_width: usize ) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign the same minimum width to all columns. By default columns have no minimum width.
Arguments
min_width
- The common minimum width.
Errors
ColonnadeError::MinGreaterThanMax
- Assigning a maximum width in conflict with some assigned minimum width.ColonnadeError::InsufficientSpace
- Assigning this minimum width means the columns require more space than the viewport provides.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
// assign all columns a minimum width of 20
colonnade.min_width(20)?;
// we will now use at least 83 of the characters provided by the viewport (until we mess with margins)
sourcepub fn fixed_width(&mut self, width: usize) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn fixed_width(&mut self, width: usize) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign the same maximum and minimum width to all columns. By default columns have neither a maximum nor a minimum width.
Arguments
width
- The common width.
Errors
This method is a convenience method which assigns all columns the same maximum and minimum width. Therefore
the errors thrown are those thrown by max_width
and min_width
.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
// assign all columns a width of 20
colonnade.fixed_width(20)?;
// we will now use at exactly 83 of the characters provided by the viewport (until we mess with margins)
sourcepub fn clear_limits(&mut self) -> &mut Self
pub fn clear_limits(&mut self) -> &mut Self
Remove any maximum or minimum column widths.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
// assign all columns a width of 20
colonnade.fixed_width(20)?;
// later ...
colonnade.clear_limits();
sourcepub fn vertical_alignment(
&mut self,
vertical_alignment: VerticalAlignment
) -> &mut Self
pub fn vertical_alignment( &mut self, vertical_alignment: VerticalAlignment ) -> &mut Self
sourcepub fn left_margin(
&mut self,
left_margin: usize
) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn left_margin( &mut self, left_margin: usize ) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign all columns the same left margin. The left margin is a number of blank spaces before the content of the column. By default the first column has a left margin of 0 and the other columns have a left margin of 1.
Arguments
left_margin
- The width in blank spaces of the desired margin.
Errors
ColonnadeError::InsufficientSpace
- This margin will require more space than is available in the viewport.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
colonnade.left_margin(2)?;
sourcepub fn padding(&mut self, padding: usize) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn padding(&mut self, padding: usize) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign all columns the same padding. The padding is a number of blank spaces before and after the contents of the column and a number of blank lines above and below it. By default the padding is 0. You most likely don’t want any padding unless you are colorizing the text – text immediately after color transitions is more difficult to read and less aesthetically pleasing.
Arguments
padding
- The width in blank spaces/lines of the desired padding.
Errors
ColonnadeError::InsufficientSpace
- This padding will require more space than is available in the viewport.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
colonnade.padding(1)?;
sourcepub fn padding_horizontal(
&mut self,
padding: usize
) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn padding_horizontal( &mut self, padding: usize ) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign all columns the same horizontal padding – space before and after the column’s text.
See padding
.
Arguments
padding
- The width in blank spaces/lines of the desired padding.
Errors
ColonnadeError::InsufficientSpace
- This padding will require more space than is available in the viewport.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
colonnade.padding_horizontal(1)?;
sourcepub fn padding_left(
&mut self,
padding: usize
) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn padding_left( &mut self, padding: usize ) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign all columns the same left padding – space before the column’s text.
See padding
.
Arguments
padding
- The width in blank spaces/lines of the desired padding.
Errors
ColonnadeError::InsufficientSpace
- This padding will require more space than is available in the viewport.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
colonnade.padding_left(1)?;
sourcepub fn padding_right(
&mut self,
padding: usize
) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
pub fn padding_right( &mut self, padding: usize ) -> Result<&mut Self, ColonnadeError>
Assign all columns the same right padding – space after the column’s text.
See padding
.
Arguments
padding
- The width in blank spaces/lines of the desired padding.
Errors
ColonnadeError::InsufficientSpace
- This padding will require more space than is available in the viewport.
Example
let mut colonnade = Colonnade::new(4, 100)?;
colonnade.padding_right(1)?;
