Interface StaticTableTypeStylesInterface

All Superinterfaces:

StaticTableTypeInterface

public interface StaticTableTypeStylesInterface
extends StaticTableTypeInterface

Defines an interface for accessing a table's relational type styles.

The documentation for our parent interface, StaticTableTypeInterface, notes that:

A view can use this type information to provide type-based traffic-lighting. For example, a view can allow a user to specify that cells of type "pass" should be colored blue while cells of type "fail" should be in red.

Well, this interface simply extends that one so that models may provide their own type-based traffic-lighting. (Views will typically defer to a model's preferences unless instructed otherwise.)

The traffic-lighting information is encapsulated in an object known as a style. A style is a set of property keys (Strings) with associated values (Objects) that are used as formatting defaults and rendering hints by a view.

Consumers of this interface (e.g. views) should listen for PropertyBagChangedEvents from the styles.

Method Detail

getCellTypeStyles

StaticPropertyBagInterface[] getCellTypeStyles()
                                               throws com.sas.table.TableException

Returns the complete set of styles associated with cell types.

Returns:

null, or a StaticPropertyBagInterface array ordered such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between its elements and the elements of the array returned by getCellTypes. Individual array elements may be null.

Throws:

TableException - Thrown if the query can not be satisfied (e.g. i/o-failure).

getCellTypeStyle

StaticPropertyBagInterface getCellTypeStyle(java.lang.String type)
                                            throws com.sas.table.TableException

Returns the style associated with a given cell type.

Parameters:

type - One of the types returned by getCellTypes().

Returns:

A StaticPropertyBagInterface or null.

Throws:

TableException - Thrown if the query can not be satisfied (e.g. i/o-failure).

getColumnTypeStyles

StaticPropertyBagInterface[] getColumnTypeStyles()
                                                 throws com.sas.table.TableException

Returns the complete set of styles associated with column types.

Returns:

null, or a StaticPropertyBagInterface array ordered such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between its elements and the elements of the array returned by getColumnTypes. Individual array elements may be null.

Returns the style associated with a given column type.

Parameters:

type - One of the types returned by getColumnTypes().

Returns:

A StaticPropertyBagInterface or null.

Returns the complete set of styles associated with row types.

Returns:

null, or a StaticPropertyBagInterface array ordered such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between its elements and the elements of the array returned by getRowTypes. Individual array elements may be null.
