Detailed Description#

Table cells are pieces of document structure that belong to a table. The table orders cells into particular rows and columns; cells can also span multiple columns and rows.

Cells are usually created when a table is inserted into a document with insertTable() , but they are also created and destroyed when a table is resized.

Cells contain information about their location in a table; you can obtain the row() and column() numbers of a cell, and its rowSpan() and columnSpan() .

The format() of a cell describes the default character format of its contents. The firstCursorPosition() and lastCursorPosition() functions are used to obtain the extent of the cell in the document.

__init__(o)#

Parameters:: o – QTextTableCell

Copy constructor. Creates a new QTextTableCell object based on the other cell.

__init__()

Constructs an invalid table cell.

isValid()

begin()#

Return type:: iterator

Returns a frame iterator pointing to the beginning of the table’s cell.

See also

end()

column()#

Return type:: int

Returns the number of the column in the table that contains this cell.

See also

row()

columnSpan()#

Return type:: int

Returns the number of columns this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also

rowSpan()

end()#

Return type:: iterator

Returns a frame iterator pointing to the end of the table’s cell.

begin()

firstCursorPosition()#

Return type:: QTextCursor

Returns the first valid cursor position in this cell.

See also

lastCursorPosition()

firstPosition()#

Return type:: int

format()#

Return type:: QTextCharFormat

Returns the cell’s character format.

See also

setFormat()

isValid()#

Return type:: bool

Returns true if this is a valid table cell; otherwise returns false.

lastCursorPosition()#

Return type:: QTextCursor

Returns the last valid cursor position in this cell.

firstCursorPosition()

lastPosition()#

Return type:: int

__ne__(other)#

Parameters:: other – QTextTableCell
Return type:: bool

Returns true if this cell object and the other cell object describe different cells; otherwise returns false.

__eq__(other)#

Parameters:: other – QTextTableCell
Return type:: bool

Returns true if this cell object and the other cell object describe the same cell; otherwise returns false.

row()#

Return type:: int

Returns the number of the row in the table that contains this cell.

See also

column()

rowSpan()#

Return type:: int

Returns the number of rows this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also

columnSpan()

setFormat(format)#

Parameters:: format – QTextCharFormat

Sets the cell’s character format to format. This can for example be used to change the background color of the entire cell:

QTextTableCell cell = table->cellAt(2, 3); QTextCharFormat format = cell. format() ; format.setBackground(Qt::blue); cell.setFormat(format);

Note that the cell’s row or column span cannot be changed through this function. You have to use mergeCells and splitCell instead.

format()

tableCellFormatIndex()#

Return type:: int

Returns the index of the tableCell’s format in the document’s internal list of formats.
