Gets or sets the amount of space (in points) between the cells.

public double CellSpacing { get; set; }

Examples

Shows how to enable spacing between individual cells in a table.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Table table = builder.StartTable();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Animal");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Class");
builder.EndRow();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Dog");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Mammal");
builder.EndTable();

table.CellSpacing = 3;

// Set the "AllowCellSpacing" property to "true" to enable spacing between cells
// with a magnitude equal to the value of the "CellSpacing" property, in points.
// Set the "AllowCellSpacing" property to "false" to disable cell spacing
// and ignore the value of the "CellSpacing" property.
table.AllowCellSpacing = allowCellSpacing;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Table.AllowCellSpacing.html");

// Adjusting the "CellSpacing" property will automatically enable cell spacing.
table.CellSpacing = 5;

Assert.True(table.AllowCellSpacing);

Shows how to create custom style settings for the table.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Table table = builder.StartTable();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Name");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("مرحبًا");
builder.EndRow();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.EndTable();

TableStyle tableStyle = (TableStyle)doc.Styles.Add(StyleType.Table, "MyTableStyle1");
tableStyle.AllowBreakAcrossPages = true;
tableStyle.Bidi = true;
tableStyle.CellSpacing = 5;
tableStyle.BottomPadding = 20;
tableStyle.LeftPadding = 5;
tableStyle.RightPadding = 10;
tableStyle.TopPadding = 20;
tableStyle.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = Color.AntiqueWhite;
tableStyle.Borders.Color = Color.Blue;
tableStyle.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.DotDash;
tableStyle.VerticalAlignment = CellVerticalAlignment.Center;

table.Style = tableStyle;

// Setting the style properties of a table may affect the properties of the table itself.
Assert.True(table.Bidi);
Assert.AreEqual(5.0d, table.CellSpacing);
Assert.AreEqual("MyTableStyle1", table.StyleName);

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Table.TableStyleCreation.docx");
