08 Joining columns

See example 27

You can join multiple columns in a TableRow. The value of the first column in the joint is printed the others are ignored. You can use that to print subtitles in a row which need more space than one column offers.

In the sample table with four columns, you could add a row as follows to print the text of the first column over the whole row. Normally it would wrap to a second line because the first column is only 40mm wide.

$row = new ReportLib\TableRow('T');
$row->setText("frametype", "This is a join from the first to the last column.");
$row->setJoinStart(0);
$row->setJoinEnd(3);
$table->addDataRow($row);
