Constructor Detail

• Table

  public Table(int rows,
       int columns,
       boolean homogeneous)

  Create a new Table. The Container will be configured to lay out n rows of n columns of child Widgets.

  Parameters:

  homogeneous - If true, all cells are sized to that requested by the largest Widget in the Table.

Method Detail

• attach

  public void attach(Widget child,
            int leftAttach,
            int rightAttach,
            int topAttach,
            int bottomAttach)

  Add a child Widget to this Table. This is a convenience method where the more esoteric parameters of the full attach() are given appropriate default values.

  Each of the parameters refer to the column or row to which the Widget being added will be anchored. To put a Widget at the fourth column from the left, second row down, you would do:

   table.attach(child, 3, 4, 1, 2);
   

  As alluded to in the class description, this is quite finicky and worse is error prone.

• attach

  public void attach(Widget child,
            int leftAttach,
            int rightAttach,
            int topAttach,
            int bottomAttach,
            AttachOptions xoptions,
            AttachOptions yoptions,
            int xpadding,
            int ypadding)

  Like attach() but has finer layout control for the Widget being added, mostly achieved using the AttachOptions.

  To define that a Widget shall grow on the x-axis, but keep the size on the y-axis you would do:

   table.attach(child, 3, 4, 1, 2, AttachOptions.EXPAND, AttachOptions.SHRINK, 0, 0);
   

  A common problem is that you have Widgets of different sizes (e.g. labels in a column). If a widget is smaller than the required space additional padding is added to the sides, so finally the smaller Widget is centered compared to the larger Widget. To avoid this you a) need to encapsulate the Widget in an Alignment Container and b) need to attach it here using AttachOptions.FILL, so that instead of additional space being added to the sides, the Alignment Container may decide how to distribute it.

  The following example left-aligns the child Widget within its cell, while it is vertically centered:

   final Alignment aligned;
   
   aligned = new Alignment(Alignment.LEFT, Alignment.CENTER, 1.0f, 1.0f, child);
   table.attach(aligned, 3, 4, 1, 2, AttachOptions.FILL, AttachOptions.FILL, 0, 0);
