addSymbol() - Example for vertical Alignment of a Table Column

You can use a panel reference for a map or as a header for a table column. The panel reference can be used as follows. The reference tableColumnRefGenericText_fixed.pnl contains a primitive text. The following code sets the rotation angle of the primitive text as well as the font.

public setText(string txt)
{
  PRIMITIVE_TEXT1.text = txt;
  langString f = "Arial,-1,19,5,75,0,0,0,0,0,Bold";
  PRIMITIVE_TEXT1.font(f);
}
public rotateText(float angle)
{
  PRIMITIVE_TEXT1.rotation = angle;
}       

The following code adds lines to a table.

main()
{
  TABLE1.columnMovingEnabled(true);
  dyn_string d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6;
  dyn_dyn_string fName, lName, col3, col4;
  //The entries of the column First Name
  d1=makeDynString("Jane");
  d2=makeDynString("Max");
            
  //The entries of the column 3
  d3=makeDynString("+1 707 678 989");
  d4=makeDynString("+49 151 345 567");
  d5=makeDynString("USA");
  d6=makeDynString("Germany");
            
  // Transfer the entries to the dyn dyn field
  fName[1]=d1;
  fName[2]=d2;
  col3[1]=d3;
  col3[2]=d4;
  col4[1]=d5;
  col4[2]=d6;
            
  //The entries of the column Last name
  d1=makeDynString("Doe");
  d2=makeDynString("Mustermann");           
            
  //Transfer the entries to the dyn dyn field
  lName[1]=d1;
  lName[2]=d2;
            
  //Add the four rows
  TABLE1.appendLines(6, "#1", fName, "#2", lName, "#3", col3, "#4", col4);
  dyn_int rows, columns;
  //Selection Mode
  TABLE1.tableMode=TABLE_SELECT_MULTIPLE;
  //Rows and Columns
  rows=makeDynInt(0, 2);
  columns=makeDynInt(0, 1,2,3);           
}

This example shows how to use the reference tableColumnRefGenericText_fixed.pnl as a column header. For the syntax, see addSymbol().

main(mapping event)
{
  addSymbol(self, "tableColumnRefGenericText_fixed.pnl", "ref0",
  makeMapping("targetShape", "TABLE1",
  "columnHeader", "#1"));
  ref0.setText("First name");
  ref0.rotateText(90); // 90 degrees

  addSymbol(self, "tableColumnRefGenericText_fixed.pnl", "ref1",
  makeMapping("targetShape", "TABLE1",
  "columnHeader", "#2"));
  ref1.setText("Last name");
  ref1.rotateText(90);

  addSymbol(self, "tableColumnRefGenericText_fixed.pnl", "ref2",
  makeMapping("targetShape", "TABLE1",
  "columnHeader", "#3"));
  ref2.setText("Telephone");
  ref2.rotateText(90);

  addSymbol(self, "tableColumnRefGenericText_fixed.pnl", "ref3",
  makeMapping("targetShape", "TABLE1",
  "columnHeader", "#4"));
  ref3.setText("Country");
  ref3.rotateText(90);
}
