FBB::Align(3bobcat)
Table Element Alignment
(libbobcat-dev_6.06.02)

NAME
FBB::Align - Class to align elements in Table objects
SYNOPSIS
    #include <bobcat/align>
Linking option: -lbobcat
DESCRIPTION
    This class defines objects used by the class FBB::Table to define
the alignment of its columns and/or elements.
NAMESPACE
    FBB
    All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.
INHERITS FROM

ADDITIONAL TYPEDEF
The type FBB::Manipulator can be used as a shorthand for
            
        std::ios_base &(*)(std::ios_base &)
            
    which is the prototype of standard io-manipulators like std::left.
MANIPULATOR
    The following manipulator (not part of the FBB::Align, class but
defined in the FBB namespace) can be specified as Align-object
constructor arguments and can be stored in Align objects through, e.g.,
setManip:
    
CONSTRUCTORS
    
    -  Align(Manipulator manip):
 This constructor is used to specify
        an alignment which, when inserted into a Table, is used for all
        the table's elements. This general alignment type may be modified of
        specific columns and/or elements using the following constructors;
 
-  Align(size_t column = 0, Manipulator manip = std::right):
 This constructor defines how the content of column `column' of a
        Table object are aligned. When used, it is the responsibility of
        the programmer to ensure that the table's column exists (i.e., the
        Table must have a column index column);
 
-  Align(int row, size_t column, Manipulator manip):
 This constructor defines the alignment of element [row][column] of
        a Table object. Before using this constructor table element
        [row][column] must have been defined. E.g.,
    Table tab{  3, Table::ROWWISE };
    tab << "xx00x " << " x01x " << " x02xx" <<
            10 << 11 << 12;
    tab << Align(1, 1, FBB::center);
       
Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are available.
OVERLOADED OPERATORS
    -  operator size_t() const:
 Returns the value representing a requested width of an element in a
        Table object.
MEMBER FUNCTIONS
    
    -  size_t col() const:
 Returns the object's column index;
-  bool hasRow() const:
 Returns true if the object's
 
 member returns a sensible
        value;
-  size_t row() const:
 Returns the object's row index;
-  Manipulator manip() const:
 Returns the Manipulator stored in the object;
-  void setWidth(size_t width):
 Defines the field-width of element(s) of a Table object to which
        the Align object refers;
-  void setManip(Manipulator manip):
 Changes the object's currently stored Manipulator.
