<section><title>Splits and freeze panes</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are two types of panes you can create; freeze panes and split panes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A freeze pane is split by columns and rows. You create
|
|
a freeze pane using the following mechanism:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
sheet1.createFreezePane( 3, 2, 3, 2 );
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first two parameters are the columns and rows you
|
|
wish to split by. The second two parameters indicate
|
|
the cells that are visible in the bottom right quadrant.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Split pains appear differently. The split area is
|
|
divided into four separate work area's. The split
|
|
occurs at the pixel level and the user is able to
|
|
adjust the split by dragging it to a new position.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Split panes are created with the following call:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
sheet2.createSplitPane( 2000, 2000, 0, 0, HSSFSheet.PANE_LOWER_LEFT );
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The first parameter is the x position of the split.
|
|
This is in 1/20th of a point. A point in this case
|
|
seems to equate to a pixel. The second parameter is
|
|
the y position of the split. Again in 1/20th of a point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The last parameter indicates which pane currently has
|
|
the focus. This will be one of HSSFSheet.PANE_LOWER_LEFT,
|
|
PANE_LOWER_RIGHT, PANE_UPPER_RIGHT or PANE_UPPER_LEFT.
|
|

|
|
<section><title>Drawing Shapes</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
POI supports drawing shapes using the Microsoft Office
|
|
drawing tools. Shapes on a sheet are organized in a
|
|
hiearchy of groups and and shapes. The top-most shape
|
|
is the patriarch. This is not visisble on the sheet
|
|
at all. To start drawing you need to call <code>createPatriarch</code>
|
|
on the <code>HSSFSheet</code> class. This has the
|
|
effect erasing any other shape information stored
|
|
in that sheet. By default POI will leave shape
|
|
records alone in the sheet unless you make a call to
|
|
this method.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To create a shape you have to go through the following
|
|
steps:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Create the patriarch.</li>
|
|
<li>Create an anchor to position the shape on the sheet.</li>
|
|
<li>Ask the patriarch to create the shape.</li>
|
|
<li>Set the shape type (line, oval, rectangle etc...)</li>
|
|
<li>Set any other style details converning the shape. (eg:
|
|
line thickness, etc...)</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<source>
|
|
HSSFPatriarch patriarch = sheet.createDrawingPatriarch();
|
|
a = new HSSFClientAnchor( 0, 0, 1023, 255, (short) 1, 0, (short) 1, 0 );
|
|
HSSFSimpleShape shape1 = patriarch.createSimpleShape(a1);
|
|
shape1.setShapeType(HSSFSimpleShape.OBJECT_TYPE_LINE);
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Text boxes are created using a different call:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
HSSFTextbox textbox1 = patriarch.createTextbox(
|
|
new HSSFClientAnchor(0,0,0,0,(short)1,1,(short)2,2));
|
|
textbox1.setString(new HSSFRichTextString("This is a test") );
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's possible to use different fonts to style parts of
|
|
the text in the textbox. Here's how:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
HSSFFont font = wb.createFont();
|
|
font.setItalic(true);
|
|
font.setUnderline(HSSFFont.U_DOUBLE);
|
|
HSSFRichTextString string = new HSSFRichTextString("Woo!!!");
|
|
string.applyFont(2,5,font);
|
|
textbox.setString(string );
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Just as can be done manually using Excel, it is possible
|
|
to group shapes together. This is done by calling
|
|
<code>createGroup()</code> and then creating the shapes
|
|
using those groups.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's also possible to create groups within groups.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<warning>Any group you create should contain at least two
|
|
other shapes or subgroups.</warning>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here's how to create a shape group:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
// Create a shape group.
|
|
HSSFShapeGroup group = patriarch.createGroup(
|
|
new HSSFClientAnchor(0,0,900,200,(short)2,2,(short)2,2));
|
|
|
|
// Create a couple of lines in the group.
|
|
HSSFSimpleShape shape1 = group.createShape(new HSSFChildAnchor(3,3,500,500));
|
|
shape1.setShapeType(HSSFSimpleShape.OBJECT_TYPE_LINE);
|
|
( (HSSFChildAnchor) shape1.getAnchor() ).setAnchor((short)3,3,500,500);
|
|
HSSFSimpleShape shape2 = group.createShape(new HSSFChildAnchor((short)1,200,400,600));
|
|
shape2.setShapeType(HSSFSimpleShape.OBJECT_TYPE_LINE);
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're being observant you'll noticed that the shapes
|
|
that are added to the group use a new type of anchor:
|
|
the <code>HSSFChildAnchor</code>. What happens is that
|
|
the created group has it's own coordinate space for
|
|
shapes that are placed into it. POI defaults this to
|
|
(0,0,1023,255) but you are able to change it as desired.
|
|
Here's how:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
myGroup.setCoordinates(10,10,20,20); // top-left, bottom-right
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you create a group within a group it's also going
|
|
to have it's own coordinate space.

<section><title>Styling Shapes</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default shapes can look a little plain. It's possible
|
|
to apply different styles to the shapes however. The
|
|
sorts of things that can currently be done are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Change the fill color.</li>
|
|
<li>Make a shape with no fill color.</li>
|
|
<li>Change the thickness of the lines.</li>
|
|
<li>Change the style of the lines. Eg: dashed, dotted.</li>
|
|
<li>Change the line color.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here's an examples of how this is done:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
HSSFSimpleShape s = patriarch.createSimpleShape(a);
|
|
s.setShapeType(HSSFSimpleShape.OBJECT_TYPE_OVAL);
|
|
s.setLineStyleColor(10,10,10);
|
|
s.setFillColor(90,10,200);
|
|
s.setLineWidth(HSSFShape.LINEWIDTH_ONE_PT * 3);
|
|
s.setLineStyle(HSSFShape.LINESTYLE_DOTSYS);

<anchor id="Graphics2d"/>
|
|
<section><title>Shapes and Graphics2d</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
While the native POI shape drawing commands are the
|
|
recommended way to draw shapes in a shape it's sometimes
|
|
desirable to use a standard API for compatibility with
|
|
external libraries. With this in mind we created some
|
|
wrappers for <code>Graphics</code> and <code>Graphics2d</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<warning>
|
|
It's important to not however before continuing that
|
|
<code>Graphics2d</code> is a poor match to the capabilities
|
|
of the Microsoft Office drawing commands. The older
|
|
<code>Graphics</code> class offers a closer match but is
|
|
still a square peg in a round hole.
|
|
</warning>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Graphics commands are issued into an <code>HSSFShapeGroup</code>.
|
|
Here's how it's done:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
a = new HSSFClientAnchor( 0, 0, 1023, 255, (short) 1, 0, (short) 1, 0 );
|
|
group = patriarch.createGroup( a );
|
|
group.setCoordinates( 0, 0, 80 * 4 , 12 * 23 );
|
|
float verticalPointsPerPixel = a.getAnchorHeightInPoints(sheet) / (float)Math.abs(group.getY2() - group.getY1());
|
|
g = new EscherGraphics( group, wb, Color.black, verticalPointsPerPixel );
|
|
g2d = new EscherGraphics2d( g );
|
|
drawChemicalStructure( g2d );
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first thing we do is create the group and set it's coordinates
|
|
to match what we plan to draw. Next we calculate a reasonable
|
|
fontSizeMultipler then create the EscherGraphics object.
|
|
Since what we really want is a <code>Graphics2d</code>
|
|
object we create an EscherGraphics2d object and pass in
|
|
the graphics object we created. Finally we call a routine
|
|
that draws into the EscherGraphics2d object.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The vertical points per pixel deserves some more explanation.
|
|
One of the difficulties in converting Graphics calls
|
|
into escher drawing calls is that Excel does not have
|
|
the concept of absolute pixel positions. It measures
|
|
it's cell widths in 'characters' and the cell heights in points.
|
|
Unfortunately it's not defined exactly what type of character it's
|
|
measuring. Presumably this is due to the fact that the Excel will be
|
|
using different fonts on different platforms or even within the same
|
|
platform.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Because of this constraint we've had to implement the concept of a
|
|
verticalPointsPerPixel. This the amount the font should be scaled by when
|
|
you issue commands such as drawString(). To calculate this value
|
|
use the follow formula:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
multipler = groupHeightInPoints / heightOfGroup
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The height of the group is calculated fairly simply by calculating the
|
|
difference between the y coordinates of the bounding box of the shape. The
|
|
height of the group can be calculated by using a convenience called
|
|
<code>HSSFClientAnchor.getAnchorHeightInPoints()</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many of the functions supported by the graphics classes
|
|
are not complete. Here's some of the functions that are known
|
|
to work.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>fillRect()</li>
|
|
<li>fillOval()</li>
|
|
<li>drawString()</li>
|
|
<li>drawOval()</li>
|
|
<li>drawLine()</li>
|
|
<li>clearRect()</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Functions that are not supported will return and log a message
|
|
using the POI logging infrastructure (disabled by default).

<title>Outlining</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Outlines are great for grouping sections of information
|
|
together and can be added easily to columns and rows
|
|
using the POI API. Here's how:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
|
|
HSSFSheet sheet1 = wb.createSheet("new sheet");
|
|
|
|
sheet1.groupRow( 5, 14 );
|
|
sheet1.groupRow( 7, 14 );
|
|
sheet1.groupRow( 16, 19 );
|
|
|
|
sheet1.groupColumn( (short)4, (short)7 );
|
|
sheet1.groupColumn( (short)9, (short)12 );
|
|
sheet1.groupColumn( (short)10, (short)11 );
|
|
|
|
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(filename);
|
|
wb.write(fileOut);
|
|
fileOut.close();
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To collapse (or expand) an outline use the following calls:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<source>
|
|
sheet1.setRowGroupCollapsed( 7, true );
|
|
sheet1.setColumnGroupCollapsed( (short)4, true );
|
|
</source>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The row/column you choose should contain an already
|
|
created group. It can be anywhere within the group.
