getPreferredWidth()
public PreferredWidth getPreferredWidth()
Gets the preferred width of the cell.
Remarks:
The preferred width (along with the table’s Auto Fit option) determines how the actual width of the cell is calculated by the table layout algorithm. Table layout can be performed by Aspose.Words when it saves the document or by Microsoft Word when it displays the document.
The preferred width can be specified in points or in percent. The preferred width can also be specified as “auto”, which means no preferred width is specified.
The default value is PreferredWidth.AUTO.
Examples:
Shows how to set a preferred width for table cells.
Document doc = new Document();

builder.insertCell();
// A cell with no preferred width specified will take up the rest of the available space.
builder.getCellFormat().setPreferredWidth(PreferredWidth.AUTO);
// Each configuration of the "PreferredWidth" property creates a new object.
Assert.assertNotEquals(table.getFirstRow().getCells().get(1).getCellFormat().getPreferredWidth().hashCode(),

builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.GREEN);

getVerticalMerge()
public int getVerticalMerge()
Specifies how the cell is merged with other cells vertically.

// Insert a cell into the first column of the first row.
// This cell will be the first in a range of vertically merged cells.

}

getWidth()
public double getWidth()
Gets the width of the cell in points.
Remarks:
The width is calculated by Aspose.Words on document loading and saving. Currently, not every combination of table, cell and document properties is supported. The returned value may not be accurate for some documents. It may not exactly match the cell width as calculated by MS Word when the document is opened in MS Word.
Setting this property is not recommended. There is no guarantee that the cell will actually have the set width. The width may be adjusted to accommodate cell contents in an auto-fit table layout. Cells in other rows may have conflicting width settings. The table may be resized to fit into the container or to meet table width settings. Consider using getPreferredWidth() / setPreferredWidth(com.aspose.words.PreferredWidth) for setting the cell width. Setting this property sets getPreferredWidth() / setPreferredWidth(com.aspose.words.PreferredWidth) implicitly since version 15.8.

Parameters:

| topPadding | double | |
| rightPadding | double | |
| bottomPadding | double |
setPreferredWidth(PreferredWidth value)
public void setPreferredWidth(PreferredWidth value)
Sets the preferred width of the cell.
Remarks:
The preferred width (along with the table’s Auto Fit option) determines how the actual width of the cell is calculated by the table layout algorithm. Table layout can be performed by Aspose.Words when it saves the document or by Microsoft Word when it displays the document.
The preferred width can be specified in points or in percent. The preferred width can also be specified as “auto”, which means no preferred width is specified.
The default value is PreferredWidth.AUTO.
Examples:
Shows how to set a preferred width for table cells.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Table table = builder.startTable();
// There are two ways of applying the "PreferredWidth" class to table cells.
// 1 - Set an absolute preferred width based on points:
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setPreferredWidth(PreferredWidth.fromPoints(40.0));
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.YELLOW);
builder.writeln(MessageFormat.format("Cell with a width of {0}.", builder.getCellFormat().getPreferredWidth()));
// 2 - Set a relative preferred width based on percent of the table's width:
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setPreferredWidth(PreferredWidth.fromPercent(20.0));
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.BLUE);
builder.writeln(MessageFormat.format("Cell with a width of {0}.", builder.getCellFormat().getPreferredWidth()));
builder.insertCell();
// A cell with no preferred width specified will take up the rest of the available space.
builder.getCellFormat().setPreferredWidth(PreferredWidth.AUTO);
// Each configuration of the "PreferredWidth" property creates a new object.
Assert.assertNotEquals(table.getFirstRow().getCells().get(1).getCellFormat().getPreferredWidth().hashCode(),
builder.getCellFormat().getPreferredWidth().hashCode());
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.GREEN);
builder.writeln("Automatically sized cell.");

setVerticalMerge(int value)
public void setVerticalMerge(int value)
Specifies how the cell is merged with other cells vertically.
Remarks:
Cells can only be merged vertically if their left and right boundaries are identical.
When cells are vertically merged, the display areas of the merged cells are consolidated. The consolidated area is used to display the contents of the first vertically merged cell and all other vertically merged cells must be empty.
Examples:
Shows how to merge table cells vertically.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert a cell into the first column of the first row.
// This cell will be the first in a range of vertically merged cells.
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalMerge(CellMerge.FIRST);
builder.write("Text in merged cells.");
// Insert a cell into the second column of the first row, then end the row.
// Also, configure the builder to disable vertical merging in created cells.
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalMerge(CellMerge.NONE);
builder.write("Text in unmerged cell.");
builder.endRow();
// Insert a cell into the first column of the second row.
// Instead of adding text contents, we will merge this cell with the first cell that we added directly above.
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalMerge(CellMerge.PREVIOUS);
// Insert another independent cell in the second column of the second row.
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalMerge(CellMerge.NONE);
builder.write("Text in unmerged cell.");
builder.endRow();
builder.endTable();

Table table = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getTables().get(0);
for (Row row : table.getRows()) {
for (Cell cell : row.getCells()) {

}
}
}
public String printCellMergeType(Cell cell) {
boolean isHorizontallyMerged = cell.getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge() != CellMerge.NONE;
boolean isVerticallyMerged = cell.getCellFormat().getVerticalMerge() != CellMerge.NONE;
String cellLocation =
MessageFormat.format("R{0}, C{1}", cell.getParentRow().getParentTable().indexOf(cell.getParentRow()) + 1, cell.getParentRow().indexOf(cell) + 1);
if (isHorizontallyMerged && isVerticallyMerged)
return MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is both horizontally and vertically merged", cellLocation);
if (isHorizontallyMerged)
return MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is horizontally merged.", cellLocation);
return isVerticallyMerged ? MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is vertically merged", cellLocation) : MessageFormat.format("The cell at {0} is not merged", cellLocation);
}
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | int | The corresponding int value. The value must be one of CellMerge constants. |
setWidth(double value)
public void setWidth(double value)
Gets the width of the cell in points.
Remarks:
The width is calculated by Aspose.Words on document loading and saving. Currently, not every combination of table, cell and document properties is supported. The returned value may not be accurate for some documents. It may not exactly match the cell width as calculated by MS Word when the document is opened in MS Word.
Setting this property is not recommended. There is no guarantee that the cell will actually have the set width. The width may be adjusted to accommodate cell contents in an auto-fit table layout. Cells in other rows may have conflicting width settings. The table may be resized to fit into the container or to meet table width settings. Consider using getPreferredWidth() / setPreferredWidth(com.aspose.words.PreferredWidth) for setting the cell width. Setting this property sets getPreferredWidth() / setPreferredWidth(com.aspose.words.PreferredWidth) implicitly since version 15.8.
Examples:
