JTable is a user-interface component that presents data in a two-dimensional table format. See How to Use Tables in The Java Tutorial for task-oriented documentation and examples of using JTable.

The JTable has many facilities that make it possible to customize its rendering and editing but provides defaults for these features so that simple tables can be set up easily. For example, to set up a table with 10 rows and 10 columns of numbers: 

      TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel() {
          public int getColumnCount() { return 10; }
          public int getRowCount() { return 10;}
          public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) { return new Integer(row*col); }
      };
      JTable table = new JTable(dataModel);
      JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);

Because the JTable is now much easier to set up with custom models the DefaultTableModel is less useful than it was in previous releases. Instead of copying the data in an application into the DefaultTableModel, we recommend wrapping it in the methods of the TableModel interface and passing the real data to the JTable as above. This technique is nearly as concise as using a DefaultTableModel and starting this way has a number of advantages over the longer term. In particular: it is a scalable technique, can more easily handle dynamic or editable tables, and often results in much more efficient applications because the model is free to choose the internal representation that best suits the data.

The "Table" directory in the examples/demo area gives a number of complete examples of JTable usage, covering how the JTable can be used to provide an editable view of data taken from a database and how to modify the columns in the display to use specialized renderers and editors. For example, overriding AbstractTableModel's getColumnClass method to return a value of ImageIcon.class for a given column allows icons to be displayed, while returning a value of Number.class allows digits to be right-justified in the column.

The JTable uses integers exclusively to refer to both the rows and the columns of the model that it displays. The JTable simply takes a tabular range of cells and uses getValueAt(int, int) to retrieve and display the appropriate values from the model.

If getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(boolean) is used to enable column reordering columns may be rearranged in the JTable so that the view's columns appear in a different order to the columns in the model. This does not affect the implementation of the model at all: when the columns are reordered, the JTable maintains the new order of the columns internally and converts its column indices before querying the model.

So, when writing a TableModel, it is not necessary to listen for column reordering events as the model will be queried in its own coordinate system regardless of what is happening in the view. In the examples area there is a demonstration of a sorting algorithm making use of exactly this technique to interpose yet another coordinate system where the order of the rows is changed, rather than the order of the columns.

The general rule for the JTable API and the APIs of all its associated classes, including the column model and both the row and column selection models, is: methods using integer indices for rows and columns always use the coordinate system of the view. There are three exceptions to this rule:

The TableColumn provides a slot for holding an identifier or "tag" for each column, and the JTable and TableColumnModel both support getColumn(Object id) conveniences for locating columns by their identifier. If no identifier is explicitly set, the TableColumn returns its header value (the name of the column) as a default. A different identifier, which can be of any type, can be set using the TableColumn's setIdentifier method. All of the JTable's functions operate correctly regardless of the type and uniqueness of these identifiers.

The convertColumnIndexToView and convertColumnIndexToModel methods have been provided to convert between the two coordinate systems but they are rarely needed during normal use.

As for all JComponent classes, you can use InputMap and ActionMap to associate an Action object with a KeyStroke and execute the action under specified conditions.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JTable key assignments.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

configureEnclosingScrollPane

protected void configureEnclosingScrollPane()
If this JTable is the viewportView of an enclosing JScrollPane (the usual situation), configure this ScrollPane by, amongst other things, installing the table's tableHeader as the columnHeaderView of the scroll pane. When a JTable is added to a JScrollPane in the usual way, using new JScrollPane(myTable), addNotify is called in the JTable (when the table is added to the viewport).

setSelectionMode

public void setSelectionMode(int selectionMode)
Sets the table's selection mode to allow only single selections, a single contiguous interval, or multiple intervals.

Note: JTable provides all the methods for handling column and row selection. When setting states, such as setSelectionMode, it not only updates the mode for the row selection model but also sets similar values in the selection model of the columnModel. If you want to have the row and column selection models operating in different modes, set them both directly.

Both the row and column selection models for JTable default to using a DefaultListSelectionModel so that JTable works the same way as the JList. See the setSelectionMode method in JList for details about the modes.

Note: The column is specified in the table view's display order, and not in the TableModel's column order. This is an important distinction because as the user rearranges the columns in the table, the column at a given index in the view will change. Meanwhile the user's actions never affect the model's column ordering.

Parameters:
row - the row whose value is to be queried
column - the column whose value is to be queried
Returns:
true if the cell is editable
See Also:
setValueAt(java.lang.Object, int, int)

addColumn

public void addColumn(TableColumn aColumn)
Appends aColumn to the end of the array of columns held by this JTable's column model. If the column name of aColumn is null, sets the column name of aColumn to the name returned by getModel().getColumnName().

To add a column to this JTable to display the modelColumn'th column of data in the model with a given width, cellRenderer, and cellEditor you can use: 


      addColumn(new TableColumn(modelColumn, width, cellRenderer, cellEditor));
[Any of the TableColumn constructors can be used instead of this one.] The model column number is stored inside the TableColumn and is used during rendering and editing to locate the appropriates data values in the model. The model column number does not change when columns are reordered in the view.
Parameters:
aColumn - the TableColumn to be added
See Also:
removeColumn(javax.swing.table.TableColumn)

removeColumn

public void removeColumn(TableColumn aColumn)
Removes aColumn from this JTable's array of columns. Note: this method does not remove the column of data from the model; it just removes the TableColumn that was responsible for displaying it.
Parameters:
aColumn - the TableColumn to be removed
See Also:
addColumn(javax.swing.table.TableColumn)

moveColumn

public void moveColumn(int column,
                       int targetColumn)
Moves the column column to the position currently occupied by the column targetColumn in the view. The old column at targetColumn is shifted left or right to make room.
Parameters:
column - the index of column to be moved
targetColumn - the new index of the column

columnAtPoint

public int columnAtPoint(Point point)
Returns the index of the column that point lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, getColumnCount()-1].
Parameters:
point - the location of interest
Returns:
the index of the column that point lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, getColumnCount()-1]
See Also:
rowAtPoint(java.awt.Point)

rowAtPoint

public int rowAtPoint(Point point)
Returns the index of the row that point lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, getRowCount()-1].
Parameters:
point - the location of interest
Returns:
the index of the row that point lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, getRowCount()-1]
See Also:
columnAtPoint(java.awt.Point)

getCellRect

public Rectangle getCellRect(int row,
                             int column,
                             boolean includeSpacing)
Returns a rectangle for the cell that lies at the intersection of row and column. If includeSpacing is true then the value returned has the full height and width of the row and column specified. If it is false, the returned rectangle is inset by the intercell spacing to return the true bounds of the rendering or editing component as it will be set during rendering.

If the column index is valid but the row index is less than zero the method returns a rectangle with the the y and height values set appropriately and the x and width values both set to zero. In general, when either the row or column indices indicate a cell outside the appropriate range, the method returns a rectangle depicting the closest edge of the closest cell that is within the table's range. When both row and column indices are out of range the returned rectangle covers the closest point of the closest cell.

In all cases, calulations that use this method to calculate results along one axix will not fail because of anomalies in calculations along other axis. When the cell is not valid the includeSpacing parameter is ignored.

Parameters:
includeSpacing - if false, return the true cell bounds - computed by subtracting the intercell spacing from the height and widths of the column and row models.
Returns:
the rectangle containing the cell at location row,column

doLayout

Following copied from class: java.awt.Container
See Also:
LayoutManager.layoutContainer(java.awt.Container), Container.setLayout(java.awt.LayoutManager), Container.validate()

sizeColumnsToFit

public void sizeColumnsToFit(boolean lastColumnOnly)
Deprecated. As of Swing version 1.0.3, replaced by sizeColumnsToFit(int).

Sizes the table columns to fit the available space.
See Also:
sizeColumnsToFit(int)

sizeColumnsToFit

public void sizeColumnsToFit(int resizingColumn)
Resizes one or more of the columns in the table so that the total width of all of this JTable's columns is equal to the width of the table.

When doLayout is called on this JTable, often as a result of the resizing of an enclosing window, this method is called with resizingColumn set to -1. This means that resizing has taken place "outside" the JTable and the change - or "delta" - should be distributed to all of the columns regardless of this JTable's automatic resize mode.

If the resizingColumn is not -1, it is one of the columns in the table that has changed size rather than the table itself. In this case the auto-resize modes govern the way the extra (or deficit) space is distributed amongst the available columns.

The modes are:

Note: When a JTable makes adjustments to the widths of the columns it respects their minimum and maximum values absolutely. It is therefore possible that, even after this method is called, the total width of the columns is still not equal to the width of the table. When this happens the JTable does not put itself in AUTO_RESIZE_OFF mode to bring up a scroll bar, or break other commitments of its current auto-resize mode -- instead it allows its bounds to be set larger (or smaller) than the total of the column minimum or maximum, meaning, either that there will not be enough room to display all of the columns, or that the columns will not fill the JTable's bounds. These respectively, result in the clipping of some columns or an area being painted in the JTable's background color during painting.

The mechanism for distributing the delta amongst the available columns is provided in a private method in the JTable class: 

   adjustSizes(long targetSize, final Resizable3 r, boolean inverse)
an explanation of which is provided in the following section. Resizable3 is a private interface that allows any data structure containing a collection of elements with a size, preferred size, maximum size and minimum size to have its elements manipulated by the algorithm.

Distributing the delta

Overview

Call "DELTA" the difference between the target size and the sum of the preferred sizes of the elements in r. The individual sizes are calculated by taking the original preferred sizes and adding a share of the DELTA - that share being based on how far each preferred size is from its limiting bound (minimum or maximum).

Definition

Call the individual constraints min[i], max[i], and pref[i].

Call their respective sums: MIN, MAX, and PREF.

Each new size will be calculated using: 

          size[i] = pref[i] + delta[i]
where each individual delta[i] is calculated according to:

If (DELTA < 0) we are in shrink mode where: 

                        DELTA
          delta[i] = ------------ * (pref[i] - min[i])
                     (PREF - MIN)
If (DELTA > 0) we are in expand mode where: 

                        DELTA
          delta[i] = ------------ * (max[i] - pref[i])
                      (MAX - PREF)

The overall effect is that the total size moves that same percentage, k, towards the total minimum or maximum and that percentage guarantees accomodation of the required space, DELTA.

Details

Naive evaluation of the formulae presented here would be subject to the aggregated rounding errors caused by doing this operation in finite precision (using ints). To deal with this, the multiplying factor above, is constantly recalculated and this takes account of the rounding errors in the previous iterations. The result is an algorithm that produces a set of integers whose values exactly sum to the supplied targetSize, and does so by spreading the rounding errors evenly over the given elements.

When the MAX and MIN bounds are hit

When targetSize is outside the [MIN, MAX] range, the algorithm sets all sizes to their appropriate limiting value (maximum or minimum).

Parameters:
resizingColumn - the column whose resizing made this adjustment necessary or -1 if there is no such column

TableColumn.setWidth(int)

getToolTipText

public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent event)
Overrides JComponent's getToolTipText method in order to allow the renderer's tips to be used if it has text set.
