FBB::TableLines(3bobcat)

💖 FBB::TableLines 💖

okay so bestie, this is the FBB::TableLines(3bobcat) page — it lives in the Table support class section of the manual and it's literally your girl for drawing pretty lil separation lines in tables, no cap ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the vibe: this class is a specialization of FBB::TableSupport, and you use it to write horizontal (and also vertical, queen) line separators inside tables that get generated by Table or TableBuf objects. That's it, that's the job, and it ate. 🔥

fr fr, here's the whole thing, character for character:

#include <iostream>

#include <bobcat/table>
#include <bobcat/tablelines>

using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    TableLines tablelines;
                                // width/separators of cols 0, 1 and 2
    tablelines << 0 << " | " << " | ";

                                // hline over cols 1 and 2 of row 1
    tablelines << TableLines::HLine(1, 1, 3);

    Table tab(tablelines, 3, Table::ROWWISE, Table::EQUALWIDTH);
    // or: Table tab(tablelines, 3, Table::ROWWISE);

    tab << Align(0, std::left);     // set column non-default alignment
    tab.fill(argv + 1, argv + argc);// fill range of values

    cout << tab << ’\n’;            // complete the table and insert

    tab << "hello" << "" << "wo";   // add additional elements.
    if (tab.nRows() > 2)
        tab << Align(2, 2, center); // set the layout of a specific element

    cout << tab << ’\n’;
}
