Table Developer Documentation
WORK IN PROGRESS
The Papyrus Table uses the NatTable widget. Its documentation is available here and here. These new table will be available for the Papyrus Release 0.10 in June 2013.
The NatTable source code can be downloaded with git http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/nattable/org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.git
Label Providers
For the label provider, we divided the tables into 2 areas :
- Headers
- Body
for each areas we declared a label provider context (using the Papyrus Label Provider extension point):
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.nattable.full.labelprovider : the context to use to find the label provider used in the table. This one calls the others label providers according to the region for which we are looking for the text/image to display.
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.nattable.body.labelprovider : the context to use to find the label provider used to get the text in the body of the table
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.nattable.header.labelprovider : the context to use to find the label provider used to get the text in the header of the table (display icon, display label)
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.nattable.header.feature.labelprovider : the context to use to find the label provider used to display feature in a header. This label provider allows to define the text to display according to the configuration of the axis ( display icon, display label, display multiciplicity, display type, display a "/" for the derived feature)
These contexts are declared into the plugin org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.nattable.
All label provider declared on these context must accept elements implementing ILabelProviderCellContextElement. This object encapsulate the cell for which we want display a text AND useful elements which can be used to define the text/image/color/... to display in the cell.
