QTextTableCell¶

PyQt5.QtGui.QTextTableCell

Description¶

The QTextTableCell class represents the properties of a cell in a QTextTable.

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.

Methods¶

__init__(): TODO

__init__(QTextTableCell): TODO

column() → int: Returns the number of the column in the table that contains this cell.

See also

row().

columnSpan() → int: Returns the number of columns this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also

rowSpan().

__eq__(QTextTableCell) → bool: TODO

firstCursorPosition() → QTextCursor: Returns the first valid cursor position in this cell.

See also

lastCursorPosition().

format() → QTextCharFormat: Returns the cell’s character format.

See also

setFormat().

isValid() → bool: TODO

lastCursorPosition() → QTextCursor: Returns the last valid cursor position in this cell.

See also

firstCursorPosition().

__ne__(QTextTableCell) → bool: TODO

row() → int: Returns the number of the row in the table that contains this cell.

See also

column().

rowSpan() → int: Returns the number of rows this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also

columnSpan().

setFormat(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(blue); cell.(format);

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