06 Line breaks in table rows

See example 15

The sum of the widths of all columns of a table can be larger than the maximum width of the frame. In this case the ReportLib inserts line breaks before the column that would make the table wider than the frame. The library prints the data of a row on multiple lines.

// Add the table
$table = new ReportLib\TableFrame();
$body->addFrame($table);

// Add columns to the table where the sum 
// of the widths is greater than the width of the surrounding frame
$table->addColumn("frametype", "Frame type", 50.0);
$table->addColumn("container", "Container type", 30.0);
$table->addColumn("description", "Description", 80.0);
$table->addColumn("dummy", "", 50.0);
$table->addColumn("number", "Number", 30.0);

In this example I added a dummy column to align the columns on the different lines in the output. The header would look like the following figure. I left the title for the dummy column empty. Because the dummy column has the same width as the frame type column the library prints the number column directly below and aligned to the container column.

You could add line breaks manually by setting the corresponding attribute in a TableColumn if you want to split the data of a table row onto multiple lines.
