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.

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:

       o      FBB::center:

CONSTRUCTORS

       o      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;

       o      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);

       o      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

       o      operator size_t() const:
              Returns the value representing a requested width of an element in a Table object.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       o      size_t col() const:
              Returns the object’s column index;

       o      bool hasRow() const:
              Returns true if the object’s  member returns a sensible value;

       o      size_t row() const:
              Returns the object’s row index;

       o      Manipulator manip() const:
              Returns the Manipulator stored in the object;

       o      void setWidth(size_t width):
              Defines  the  field-width of element(s) of a Table object to which the Align object
              refers;

       o      void setManip(Manipulator manip):
              Changes the object’s currently stored Manipulator.
