A parser and formatter for
TreeTable
instances.
This formatter is given an arbitrary number of TableColumn
s
to use during the formatting. The first column is taken as the node label.
If a TreeTable
is formatted with only that column,
then the String
result is like the following example:
Node #1 ├─Node #2 │ └─Node #4 └─Node #3If the same
TreeTable
is formatted with two columns,
then the String
result is like the following example:
Node #1……………………… More #1 ├─Node #2…………… More #2 │ └─Node #4… More #4 └─Node #3…………… More #3This representation can be printed to the console output (for example) if the stream uses a monospaced font and supports Unicode characters.
Customization
Some formatting characteristics (indentation width, column where to draw the vertical line below nodes) can be modified by calls to the setter methods defined in this formatter. In particular, the dots joining the node labels to their values can be specified by the column separator pattern. The default pattern is"?……[…] "
, which means "If the next value is non-null,
then insert the "……"
string, repeat the '…'
character as many time as needed
(may be zero), and finally insert a space".
Safety against infinite recursivity
SomeTreeTable
implementations generate the nodes dynamically as wrappers around Java objects.
Such Java objects may contain cyclic associations (A contains B contains C
contains A), which result in a tree of infinite depth. Some examples can be found in ISO 19115
metadata. This TreeTableFormat
class contains a safety against such cycles. The algorithm is based
on the assumption that for each node, the values and children are fully determined by the
user object, if non-null. Consequently, for each node C
to be formatted, if the user object of that node is the same instance (in the sense of the ==
operator)
than the user object of a parent node A, then the children of the C node will not be formatted.- Since:

Constructor Details
-
TreeTableFormat
Creates a new tree table format.- Parameters:
locale
- the locale to use for numbers, dates and angles formatting, ornull
for the root locale.timezone
- the timezone, ornull
for UTC.
-
-
Method Details
-
getValueType
Returns the type of objects formatted by this class.- Specified by:
getValueType
in classCompoundFormat<TreeTable>
- Returns:
TreeTable.class
-
getColumns
Returns the table columns to parse and format, ornull
for the default list of columns. The default is:- On parsing, a single column containing the node label as a
String
. - On formatting, all
TreeTable
columns.
- Returns:
- the table columns to parse and format, or
null
for the default.
- On parsing, a single column containing the node label as a
-
setColumns
Sets the table columns to parse and format. Anull
value means to use the default list of columns, as defined in thegetColumns()
method.- Parameters:
columns
- the table columns to parse and format, ornull
for the default.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the given array is empty, contains a null element or a duplicated value.
-
getIndentation
public int getIndentation()Returns the number of spaces to add on the left margin for each indentation level. The default value is 4.- Returns:
- the current indentation.
-
setIndentation
Sets the number of spaces to add on the left margin for each indentation level. If the new indentation is smaller than the vertical line position, then the latter is also set to the given indentation value.- Parameters:
indentation
- the new indentation.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the given value is negative.
-
getVerticalLinePosition
public int getVerticalLinePosition()Returns the position of the vertical line, relative to the position of the root label. The default value is 2, which means that the vertical line is drawn below the third letter of the root label.- Returns:
- the current vertical line position.
-
setVerticalLinePosition
Sets the position of the vertical line, relative to the position of the root label. The given value cannot be greater than the indentation.- Parameters:
verticalLinePosition
- the new vertical line position.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the given value is negative or greater than the indentation.
-
getNodeFilter
Returns the filter that specify whether a node should be formatted or ignored. This is the predicate specified in the last call tosetNodeFilter(Predicate)
. If no filter has been set, then this method returnsnull
.- Returns:
- a filter for specifying whether a node should be formatted, or
null
if no filtering is applied. - Since:
- 1.0
-
setNodeFilter
Sets a filter specifying whether a node should be formatted or ignored. Filters are tested at formatting time for all children of the root node (but not for the root node itself). Filters are ignored at parsing time.- Parameters:
filter
- filter for specifying whether a node should be formatted, ornull
for no filtering.- Since:
- 1.0
-
parse
Creates a tree from the given character sequence, or returnsnull
if the given text does not look like a tree for this method. This method can parse the trees created by theformat(…)
methods defined in this class.Parsing rules
- Each node shall be represented by a single line made of two parts, in that order:
- white spaces and tree drawing characters (
'│'
,'├'
,'└'
or'─'
); - string representations of node values, separated by the colunm separator.
- white spaces and tree drawing characters (
- The number of spaces and drawing characters before the node values determines the node
indentation. This indentation does not need to be a factor of the
getIndentation()
value, but must be consistent across all the parsed tree. - The indentation determines the parent of each node.
- Parsing stops at first empty line (ignoring whitespaces), or at the end of the given text.
Error index
If the given text does not seem to be a tree table, then this method returnsnull
. Otherwise if parsing started but failed, then:ParsePosition.getErrorIndex()
will give the index at the beginning of line or beginning of cell where the error occurred, andParseException.getErrorOffset()
will give either the same value, or a slightly more accurate value inside the cell.
- Specified by:
parse
in classCompoundFormat<TreeTable>
- Parameters:
text
- the character sequence for the tree to parse.pos
- the position where to start the parsing.- Returns:
- the parsed tree, or
null
if the given character sequence cannot be parsed. - Throws:
ParseException
- if an error occurred while parsing a node value.
- Each node shall be represented by a single line made of two parts, in that order:
-
format
Writes a graphical representation of the specified tree table in the given stream or buffer. This method iterates recursively over all children. For each column to format in each node, this method gets a textual representation of the value in that column using the formatter obtained by a call toCompoundFormat.getFormat(Class)
.- Specified by:
format
in classCompoundFormat<TreeTable>
- Parameters:
tree
- the tree to format.toAppendTo
- where to format the tree.- Throws:
IOException
- if an error occurred while writing to the given appendable.- See Also:
-
createFormat
Creates a new format to use for parsing and formatting values of the given type. This method is invoked the first time that a format is needed for the given type. Subclasses can override this method if they want to configure the way dates, numbers or other objects are formatted. See parent class documentation for more information.The implementation in
TreeTableFormat
differs from the default implementation in the following aspects:UnitFormat
usesUnitFormat.Style.NAME
.
- Overrides:
createFormat
in classCompoundFormat<TreeTable>
- Parameters:
valueType
- the base type of values to parse or format.- Returns:
- the format to use for parsing of formatting values of the given type, or
null
if none.
-
writeColumnSeparator
Writes characters between columns. The default implementation applies the configuration specified byTabularFormat.setColumnSeparatorPattern(String)
as below:
The output with default values is like below:out.append(beforeFill); out.nextColumn(fillCharacter); out.append(columnSeparator);
root └─column0…… column1…… column2…… column3
Subclasses can override this method if different column separators are desired. Note however that doing so may prevent theparse(…)
method to work.- Parameters:
nextColumn
- zero-based index of the column to be written after the separator.out
- where to write the column separator.- Since:
- 1.0
- See Also:
-
clone
Returns a clone of this format.- Overrides:
clone
in classTabularFormat<TreeTable>
- Returns:
- a clone of this format.
