Class CommandLine.Help.Layout

java.lang.Object

picocli.CommandLine.Help.Layout

Enclosing class:

CommandLine.Help

public static class CommandLine.Help.Layout
extends Object

Use a Layout to format usage help text for options and parameters in tabular format.

Delegates to the renderers to create CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text values for the annotated fields, and uses a CommandLine.Help.TextTable to display these values in tabular format. Layout is responsible for deciding which values to display where in the table. By default, Layout shows one option or parameter per table row.

Customize by overriding the layout(CommandLine.Model.ArgSpec, CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text[][]) method.

              CommandLine.Help.TextTable textTable,
              CommandLine.Help.IOptionRenderer optionRenderer,
              CommandLine.Help.IParameterRenderer parameterRenderer)

Constructs a Layout with the specified color scheme, the specified TextTable, the specified option renderer and the specified parameter renderer.

Parameters:

colorScheme - the color scheme to use for common, auto-generated parts of the usage help message

optionRenderer - the object responsible for rendering Options to Text

Method Detail

layout

public void layout(CommandLine.Model.ArgSpec argSpec,
                   CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text[][] cellValues)

Copies the specified text values into the correct cells in the CommandLine.Help.TextTable. This implementation delegates to CommandLine.Help.TextTable.addRowValues(CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text...) for each row of values.

Subclasses may override.

Parameters:

argSpec - the Option or Parameters

cellValues - the text values representing the Option/Parameters, to be displayed in tabular form
