Struct prettytable::Cell

pub struct Cell { /* private fields */ }

Represent a table cell containing a string.

Once created, a cell’s content cannot be modified. The cell would have to be replaced by another one

Implementations

impl Cell

pub fn new_align(string: &str, align: Alignment) -> Cell

Create a new Cell initialized with content from string. Text alignment in cell is configurable with the align argument

pub fn reset_style(&mut self)

Remove all style attributes and reset alignment to default (LEFT)

pub fn style_spec(self, spec: &str) -> Cell

Set the cell’s style by applying the given specifier string

Style spec syntax

The syntax for the style specifier looks like this : FrBybl which means Foreground red Background yellow bold left

List of supported specifiers :

• F : Foreground (must be followed by a color specifier)
• B : Background (must be followed by a color specifier)
• H : Horizontal span (must be followed by a number)
• b : bold
• i : italic
• u : underline
• c : Align center
• l : Align left
• r : Align right
• d : default style

List of color specifiers :

• r : Red
• b : Blue
• g : Green
• y : Yellow
• c : Cyan
• m : Magenta
• w : White
• d : Black

And capital letters are for bright colors. Eg :

• R : Bright Red
• B : Bright Blue
• … and so on …

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Cell

fn clone(&self) -> Cell

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Cell

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Cell

fn default() -> Cell

Return a cell initialized with a single empty String, with LEFT alignment

impl<'a, T: ToString> From<&'a T> for Cell

fn from(f: &T) -> Cell

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl Hash for Cell

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)where
    H: Hasher,
    Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq<Cell> for Cell

fn eq(&self, other: &Cell) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
