Manipulator class enforcing equal Table column widths

## NAME

FBB::equalWidth - Manipulator class enforcing equal Table column widths

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<bobcat/equalwidth\>**\
 Linking option: *-lbobcat*

## DESCRIPTION

An object of this class may be immediately inserted into an **std::ostream** to insert a **FBB::Table** whose columns have equal widths.

## NAMESPACE

**FBB**\
 All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace **FBB**.

## INHERITS FROM

\-

## CONSTRUCTORS

- o

  **equalWidth(FBB::Table &table)**:\
   The normal use of this constructor is within a insertion expression.

- o

  **equalWidth(equalWidth const &other) throw()**:\
   The standard copy constructor is available, but is normally not used.

## MEMBER FUNCTIONS

There are no publicly available memberfunctions.

## OVERLOADED OPERATORS

- o

  **std::ostream &::operator\<\<(std::ostream &str,**  **FBB::equalWidth const &ew)**:\
   Tables may be inserted into *std::ostream* objects using this overloaded operator, which sets the column width to **FBB::TableSpec::EqualWidth** prior to inserting the table into the stream.

-

  Note that this operator is not defined in the namespace **FBB**. The overloaded assignment operator is available, but is normally not used.
