Method Detail

getCell

public Cell getCell(int column,
                    int row)

Returns the cell specified at this row and at this column. If a column/row combination forms part of a merged group of cells then (unless it is the first cell of the group) a blank cell will be returned

Parameters:

column - the column number

row - the row number

Returns:

the cell at the specified co-ordinates

getRows

public int getRows()

Returns the number of rows in this sheet

Returns:

the number of rows in this sheet

getColumns

public int getColumns()

Returns the number of columns in this sheet

Returns:

the number of columns in this sheet

getRow

public Cell[] getRow(int row)

Gets all the cells on the specified row

Parameters:

row - the rows whose cells are to be returned

Returns:

the cells on the given row

getColumn

public Cell[] getColumn(int col)

Gets all the cells on the specified column

Parameters:

col - the column whose cells are to be returned

Returns:

the cells on the specified column

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Gets the name of this sheet

Returns:

the name of the sheet

isHidden

public boolean isHidden()

Deprecated. in favouf of the getSettings() method

Determines whether the sheet is hidden

Returns:

whether or not the sheet is hidden

isProtected

public boolean isProtected()

Deprecated. in favour of the getSettings() method

Determines whether the sheet is protected

Returns:

whether or not the sheet is protected

findCell

public Cell findCell(java.lang.String contents)

Gets the cell whose contents match the string passed in. If no match is found, then null is returned. The search is performed on a row by row basis, so the lower the row number, the more efficiently the algorithm will perform

Parameters:

contents - the string to match

Returns:

the Cell whose contents match the paramter, null if not found

findLabelCell

public LabelCell findLabelCell(java.lang.String contents)

Gets the cell whose contents match the string passed in. If no match is found, then null is returned. The search is performed on a row by row basis, so the lower the row number, the more efficiently the algorithm will perform. This method differs from the findCell method in that only cells with labels are queried - all numerical cells are ignored. This should therefore improve performance.

Parameters:

contents - the string to match

Returns:

the Cell whose contents match the paramter, null if not found

getHyperlinks

public Hyperlink[] getHyperlinks()

Gets the hyperlinks on this sheet

Returns:

an array of hyperlinks

getMergedCells

public Range[] getMergedCells()

Gets the cells which have been merged on this sheet

Returns:

an array of range objects

getSettings

public SheetSettings getSettings()

Gets the settings used on a particular sheet

Returns:

the sheet settings
