How to make this table to auto-fit to document page width, when the column size increases, using apache-poi and aligning that table to center.
This code generates a word Document extracting data from Java to word file located in c drive. I have manually set width but it now works fine. If would be valuable for me if proper guidance is provided
public Word2Doc() throws Exception {
System.out.println("This is Word To Document Class");
File file = null;
FileOutputStream fos = null;
XWPFDocument document = null;
XWPFParagraph para = null;
XWPFRun run = null;
try {
// Create the first paragraph and set it's text.
document = new XWPFDocument();
para = document.createParagraph();
para.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
para.setSpacingAfter(100);
para.setSpacingAfterLines(10);
run = para.createRun();
for(int i=1; i<=5; i++)
run.setText("Test Name \009\009\009 Value \t\t\t\t Normal Ranges\013\013");
run.addBreak(); // similar to new line
run.addBreak();
XWPFTable table = document.createTable(4, 3);
table.setRowBandSize(1);
table.setWidth(1);
table.setColBandSize(1);
table.setCellMargins(1, 1, 100, 30);
table.setStyleID("finest");
table.getRow(1).getCell(1).setText("EXAMPLE OF TABLE");
table.getRow(2).getCell(1).setText("fine");
XWPFParagraph p1 = table.getRow(0).getCell(0).getParagraphs().get(0);
p1.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
XWPFRun r1 = p1.createRun();
r1.setBold(true);
r1.setText("Test Name");
r1.setItalic(true);
r1.setFontFamily("Courier");
r1.setUnderline(UnderlinePatterns.DOT_DOT_DASH);
r1.setTextPosition(100);
//Locating the cell values
table.getRow(0).getCell(1).setText("Value");
table.getRow(0).getCell(2).setText("Normal Ranges");
table.getRow(2).getCell(2).setText("numeric values");
table.setWidth(120);
file = new File("c:\\nwhpe.docx");
if(file.exists())
file.delete();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
document.write(out);
out.close();
}
}
public static void main(String ar[]) throws Exception{
new Word2Doc();
}
}
to set the table to auto fit , basically it's just extending the width to a specific size. example
CTTbl table = poiTable.getCTTbl();
CTTblPr pr = table.getTblPr();
CTTblWidth tblW = pr.getTblW();
tblW.setW(BigInteger.valueOf(5000));
tblW.setType(STTblWidth.PCT);
pr.setTblW(tblW);
table.setTblPr(pr);
as for aligning the table to the center
CTJc jc = pr.addNewJc();
jc.setVal(STJc.RIGHT);
pr.setJc(jc);
