public abstract class RecordAggregate
extends RecordBase

RecordAggregates are groups of of BIFF Records that are typically stored together and/or updated together. Workbook / Sheet records are typically stored in a sequential list, which does not provide much structure to coordinate updates.

RecordAggregate

public RecordAggregate()

visitContainedRecords

public abstract void visitContainedRecords(RecordAggregate.RecordVisitor rv)

Visit each of the atomic BIFF records contained in this RecordAggregate in the order that they should be written to file. Implementors may or may not return the actual Records being used to manage POI's internal implementation. Callers should not assume either way, and therefore only attempt to modify those Records after cloning

serialize

public final int serialize(int offset,
                           byte[] data)

Description copied from class: RecordBase

called by the class that is responsible for writing this sucker. Subclasses should implement this so that their data is passed back in a byte array.

Specified by:

serialize in class RecordBase

Parameters:

offset - to begin writing at

data - byte array containing instance data

Returns:

number of bytes written

getRecordSize

public int getRecordSize()

Description copied from class: RecordBase

gives the current serialized size of the record. Should include the sid and reclength (4 bytes).

Specified by:

getRecordSize in class RecordBase

Returns:

the record size
