I used the Vertical Table Header Cell Renderer that is available in this site here It works great for me but I need a clue on how can I have in some headers that are vertically aligned multiple rows like this you can see in the image of the example (Coordinate Geometry). I tried to set the strings with the appropriate \n character but I think my approach is very simplistic and wrong. Please keep it simple. Thank you!
From Joop answer, I made this. Instead of changing the label directly you can keep your \n
.
In your file DefaultTableHeaderCellRenderer.java
, replace getTableCellRendererComponent
with this method :
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
String str = (value == null) ? "" : value.toString();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(str));
String line;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("<HTML>");
try {
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line).append("<br/>");
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
sb.append("</HTML>");
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, sb,
isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
JTableHeader tableHeader = table.getTableHeader();
if (tableHeader != null) {
setForeground(tableHeader.getForeground());
}
setIcon(getIcon(table, column));
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
return this;
}
