public class TreeTableFormat extends TabularFormat<TreeTable>
A parser and formatter for TreeTable instances. This formatter is given an arbitrary number of TableColumns 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: If the same TreeTable is formatted with two columns, then the String result is like the following example: This 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

Some TreeTable 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.

      Parameters:
      mandatory - true if an exception shall be thrown for unrecognized types, or false for storing a null value in the array instead.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if mandatory is true and a column contains values of an unsupported type.
    • parse

      public TreeTable parse(CharSequence text, ParsePosition pos) throws ParseException
      Creates a tree from the given character sequence, or returns null if the given text does not look like a tree for this method. This method can parse the trees created by the format(…) methods defined in this class.

      Parsing rules

      • Each node shall be represented by a single line made of two parts, in that order:
        1. white spaces and tree drawing characters ('│', '├', '└' or '─');
        2. string representations of node values, separated by the colunm separator.
      • 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 returns null. Otherwise if parsing started but failed, then:
      Specified by:
      parse in class CompoundFormat<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.
    • parseValue

      private <V> void parseValue(TreeTable.Node node, TableColumn<V> column, Format format, String text) throws ParseException
      Parses the given string using a format appropriate for the type of values in the given column, and stores the value in the given node.

      This work is done in a separated method instead of inlined in the parse(…) method because of the <V> parametric value.

      Type Parameters:
      V - the type of values in the given column.
      Parameters:
      node - the node in which to set the value.
      column - the column in which to set the value.
      format - the format to use for parsing the value, or null.
      text - the textual representation of the value.
      Throws:
      ParseException - if an error occurred while parsing.
      ClassCastException - if the parsed value is not of the expected type.
    • createTreeSymbols

      private void createTreeSymbols()
      Computes the tree* fields from the indentation and verticalLinePosition current values.
      See Also:
    • getTreeSymbols

      final String getTreeSymbols(boolean isParent, boolean isLast)
      Returns the string to write before a node.
      Parameters:
      isParent - true for a parent node, or false for the actual node.
      isLast - true if the node is the last children of its parent node.
    • format

      public void format(TreeTable tree, Appendable toAppendTo) throws IOException
      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 to CompoundFormat.getFormat(Class).
      Specified by:
      format in class CompoundFormat<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

      protected Format createFormat(Class<?> valueType)
      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:

      Overrides:
      createFormat in class CompoundFormat<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

      protected void writeColumnSeparator(int nextColumn, TableAppender out)
      Writes characters between columns. The default implementation applies the configuration specified by TabularFormat.setColumnSeparatorPattern(String) as below:
      out.append(beforeFill); out.nextColumn(fillCharacter); out.append(columnSeparator);
      The output with default values is like below: Subclasses can override this method if different column separators are desired. Note however that doing so may prevent the parse(…) method to work.
      Parameters:
      nextColumn - zero-based index of the column to be written after the separator.
      out - where to write the column separator.

      Returns a clone of this format.
      Overrides:
      clone in class TabularFormat<TreeTable>
      Returns:
      a clone of this format.
