Specifies the layout of a column.

Smart constructor to specify a column.

Numbers are positioned on the right and aligned on the floating point dot.

Fixes the column length and positions according to the given Position.

Fixes the column length and positions on the left.

Determines how long a column will be.

Allows columns to use as much space as needed.

Fixes column length to a specific width.

The column will expand as long as it is smaller as the given width.

The column will be at least as wide as the given width.

Specifies a position relative from a beginning.

Horizontal orientation.

Determines whether a column will align at a specific letter.

Don't align text.

Align text at the first occurence of a given Char.

Align at the first match of a predicate.

Align all text at the first dot from the left. This is most useful for floating point numbers.

Specifies how the place looks where a String has been cut. Note that the cut mark may be cut itself to fit into a column.

Don't show any cut mark when text is cut.

Use the cut mark on both sides by reversing it on the other.

Specify two different cut marks, one for cuts on the left and one for cuts on the right.

An alias for lists, conceptually for values with a horizontal arrangement.

Modifies cells according to the column specification.

Behaves like grid but produces lines by joining with whitespace.

Behaves like gridLines but produces a string by joining with the newline character.

Concatenates a row with a given amount of spaces.

Applies functions to given lines in a alternating fashion. This makes it easy to color lines to improve readability in a row.

Applies functions to cells in a alternating fashion for every line, every other line gets shifted by one. This is useful for distinguishability of single cells in a grid arrangement.

Groups rows together which should not be visually seperated from each other.

Group the given rows together.

Make a group of a single row.

Create a RowGroup by aligning the columns vertically. The position is specified for each column.

Create a RowGroup by aligning the columns vertically. Each column uses the same vertical positioning.

Specifies how a header is rendered.

Smart constructor for HeaderColSpec. By omitting the cut mark it will use the one specified in the ColSpec like the other cells in that column.

Specifies a header.

Specify a header column for every title.

Use titles with the default header column specification.

Layouts a pretty table with an optional header. Note that providing fewer layout specifications than columns or vice versa will result in not showing the redundant ones.

Does the same as tableLines, but concatenates lines.

Fits as many words on a line as possible depending on the given width. Every line, except the last one, gets equally filled with spaces between the words as far as possible.

Uses words to split the text into words and justifies it with justify.

>>> justifyText 10 "This text will not fit on one line."
["This  text","will   not","fit on one","line."]

An alias for lists, conceptually for values with a vertical arrangement.

Merges multiple columns together to a valid grid without holes. For example:

>>> colsAsRowsAll top [justifyText 10 "This text will not fit on one line.", ["42", "23"]]
[["This  text","42"],["will   not","23"],["fit on one",""],["line.",""]]

The result is intended to be used with a grid layout function like grid.

Works like colsAsRowsAll but every position can be specified on its own:

>>> colsAsRows [top, center, bottom] [["a1"], ["b1", "b2", "b3"], ["c3"]]
[["a1","b1",""],["","b2",""],["","b3","c3"]]

Vertical orientation.

Assume the given length is greater or equal than the length of the cell passed. Pads the given cell accordingly using the position specification.

>>> pad left 10 "foo" :: String
"foo       "

If the given text is too long, the String will be shortened according to the position specification. Adds cut marks to indicate that the column has been trimmed in length, otherwise it behaves like pad.

>>> trimOrPad left (singleCutMark "..") 10 "A longer text." :: String
"A longer.."

Align a cell by first locating the position to align with and then padding on both sides. If no such position is found, it will align it such that it gets aligned before that position.

>>> let { os = predOccSpec (== '.') ; ai = deriveAlignInfo os "iiii.fff" }
>>> in align os ai <$> ["1.5", "30", ".25"] :: [String]
["   1.5  ","  30    ","    .25 "]

This function assumes that the given String fits the AlignInfo. Thus:

ai <> deriveAlignInfo s = ai

Aligns a cell using a fixed width, fitting it to the width by either filling or cutting while respecting the alignment.

Specifies how a column should be modified. Values of this type are derived in a traversal over the input columns by using deriveColModInfos. Finally, columnModifier will interpret them and apply the appropriate modification function to the cells of the column.

Get the exact width of a ColModInfo after applying it with columnModifier.

Remove alignment from a ColModInfo. This is used to change alignment of headers while using the combined width information.

Ensures that the modification provides a minimum width but only if it is not limited.

Ensures that the given String will fit into the modified columns.

Generates a function which modifies a given cell according to Position, CutMark and ColModInfo. This is used to modify a single cell of a column to bring all cells of a column to the same width.

Specifies the length before and after an alignment position (excluding the alignment character).

The column width when using the AlignInfo.

Derive the ColModInfo by using layout specifications and the actual cells of a column. This function only needs to know about LenSpec and AlignInfo.

Generate the AlignInfo of a cell by using the OccSpec.

Specifies an occurence of a letter.
