Examples

Shows how to set a preferred width for table cells.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
table = builder.start_table()
# There are two ways of applying the "PreferredWidth" class to table cells.
# 1 -  Set an absolute preferred width based on points:
builder.insert_cell()
builder.cell_format.preferred_width = aw.tables.PreferredWidth.from_points(40)
builder.cell_format.shading.background_pattern_color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.light_yellow
builder.writeln(f'Cell with a width of {builder.cell_format.preferred_width}.')
# 2 -  Set a relative preferred width based on percent of the table's width:
builder.insert_cell()
builder.cell_format.preferred_width = aw.tables.PreferredWidth.from_percent(20)
builder.cell_format.shading.background_pattern_color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.light_blue
builder.writeln(f'Cell with a width of {builder.cell_format.preferred_width}.')
builder.insert_cell()
# A cell with no preferred width specified will take up the rest of the available space.
builder.cell_format.preferred_width = aw.tables.PreferredWidth.AUTO
# Each configuration of the "PreferredWidth" property creates a new object.
self.assertNotEqual(hash(table.first_row.cells[1].cell_format.preferred_width), hash(builder.cell_format.preferred_width))
builder.cell_format.shading.background_pattern_color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.light_green
builder.writeln('Automatically sized cell.')
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.InsertCellsWithPreferredWidths.docx')
