Interface CellStyle

All Known Implementing Classes:

HSSFCellStyle

public interface CellStyle

getIndex

short getIndex()

get the index within the Workbook (sequence within the collection of ExtnededFormat objects)

Returns:

unique index number of the underlying record this style represents (probably you don't care unless you're comparing which one is which)

setDataFormat

void setDataFormat(short fmt)

set the data format (must be a valid format). Built in formats are defined at BuiltinFormats.

See Also:

DataFormat

getDataFormat

short getDataFormat()

get the index of the data format. Built in formats are defined at BuiltinFormats.

See Also:

DataFormat

getDataFormatString

java.lang.String getDataFormatString()

Get the format string

setFont

Parameters:

font - a font object created or retrieved from the Workbook object

Workbook.createFont(), Workbook.getFontAt(short)

getFontIndex

short getFontIndex()

gets the index of the font for this style

See Also:

Workbook.getFontAt(short)

setHidden

void setHidden(boolean hidden)

set the cell's using this style to be hidden

Parameters:

hidden - - whether the cell using this style should be hidden

getHidden

boolean getHidden()

get whether the cell's using this style are to be hidden

Returns:

Parameters:

locked - - whether the cell using this style should be locked

getLocked

boolean getLocked()

setQuotePrefixed

void setQuotePrefixed(boolean quotePrefix)

Turn on or off "Quote Prefix" or "123 Prefix" for the style, which is used to tell Excel that the thing which looks like a number or a formula shouldn't be treated as on. Turning this on is somewhat (but not completely, see IgnoredErrorType) like prefixing the cell value with a ' in Excel

getQuotePrefixed

boolean getQuotePrefixed()

Is "Quote Prefix" or "123 Prefix" enabled for the cell? Having this on is somewhat (but not completely, see IgnoredErrorType) like prefixing the cell value with a ' in Excel

setAlignment

void setAlignment(HorizontalAlignment align)

set the type of horizontal alignment for the cell

Parameters:

align - - the type of alignment

getAlignment

short getAlignment()

Deprecated. POI 3.15 beta 3. Use getAlignmentEnum() instead.

setRotation

void setRotation(short rotation)

set the degree of rotation for the text in the cell. Note: HSSF uses values from -90 to 90 degrees, whereas XSSF uses values from 0 to 180 degrees. The implementations of this method will map between these two value-ranges accordingly, however the corresponding getter is returning values in the range mandated by the current type of Excel file-format that this CellStyle is applied to.

Parameters:

rotation - degrees (see note above)

getRotation

short getRotation()

get the degree of rotation for the text in the cell. Note: HSSF uses values from -90 to 90 degrees, whereas XSSF uses values from 0 to 180 degrees.

Returns:

rotation degrees (see note above)

getShrinkToFit
