NAME

       FBB::Align - Class used to align elements in Table objects

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/align>

       Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

       This  class  defines  the  objects  used  by the 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 a standard io-manipulator like std::left.

CONSTRUCTORS

       o      Align(size_t column = 0, Manipulator manip = std::right):
              This  constructor  defines the alignment of column [column] of a Table object. When
              it is used, it is the responsibility of the programmer to ensure that the indicated
              Table  column  exists.  This constructor can also be used as a default constructor,
              defining a default right-alignment.

       o      Align(int row, size_t column, Manipulator manip):
              This constructor defines the alignment of element [row][column] of a Table  object.
              When  it  is  used,  it  is the responsibility of the programmer to ensure that the
              indicated Table element exists.

       o      Align(Manipulator manip):
              This constructor is used to initialize the object with a specified alignment  type.
              The copy constructor is 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  const:
              Returns the object’s row index.

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

       o      void setWidth(size_t width):
              Assigns a value to the field-width stored in the object.

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

MANIPULATORS

       The  following manipulator (which is not part of the FBB::Align, class), is defined in the
       FBB namespace. It can be stored in Align objects and is used by Table objects:

       o      FBB::center:
