# tablelines(3bobcat)

A TableSupport specialization writing horizontal separation lines

## NAME

FBB::TableLines - A TableSupport specialization writing horizontal separation lines

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

This class is a specialization of *FBB::TableSupport* and can be used to write horizontal (and vertical) line separators in tables generated by *Table* or *TableBuf* objects.

## NAMESPACE

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

## INHERITS FROM

**FBB::TableSupport**

## CONSTRUCTORS

The default and move constructors and the move assignment operator are available.

## MEMBER FUNCTIONS

All public members of *TableSupport* are available.  Refer to the [**tablesupport**(3bobcat)](/tablesupport/3bobcat.md) man-page for details.

## EXAMPLE

```
#include <iostream>
#include <bobcat/table>
#include <bobcat/tablelines>
using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    TableLines tablelines;
                                // width/separators of cols 0, 1 and 2
    tablelines << 0 << " | " << " | ";
                                // hline over cols 1 and 2 of row 1
    tablelines << TableLines::HLine(1, 1, 3);
    Table tab(tablelines, 3, Table::ROWWISE, Table::EQUALWIDTH);
    // or: Table tab(tablelines, 3, Table::ROWWISE);
    tab << Align(0, std::left);     // set column non-default alignment
    tab.fill(argv + 1, argv + argc);// fill range of values
    cout << tab << ’\n’;            // complete the table and insert
    tab << "hello" << "" << "wo";   // add additional elements.
    if (tab.nRows() > 2)
        tab << Align(2, 2, center); // set the layout of a specific element
    cout << tab << ’\n’;
}
```
