Add fixed row height to table (with text truncation)

[davidhakki]

Is there any way to disable word wrapping, and either making it so it has ..., reduce text size or nothing at all.

[philprime]

Basically limiting the height of a cell an truncating the text?

[davidhakki]

Yes i knew there was a word for it, does such options exist presently?

[philprime]

No it does not exist yet, but this sounds like a useful setting, as I am working on an improved table algorithm anyways (#41) therefore I will convert this issue in a feature request

[96kaitlinburke]

What's the progress on this? I'm trying to find a way to create a table with square cells, and it doesn't seem like there's currently a way to do this since the cell heights can't be set.

[philprime]

As of now, the new table logic is pre-release/released in 2.0.0. Therefore this is where we could start of implementing this feature

@philprime Is this something you're still interested in? I need something similar like this, so I've started working on a solution, if you want I can create a draft PR with it. Basically, I've added the heights property to the table similar to widths, so that you can set relative row heights for a full-page table.

I am always happy to review PRs :)

@philprime @marioradonic Did you two make it any further on this feature? Is there an example or branch somewhere I can take a look at? We also need this functionality so I'd be happy to contribute to this feature if either of you pointed me in the right direction.

Edit: I found a commit here that looks like it https://github.com/marioradonic/TPPDF/commit/19a13793efbe80048782ce157cb78f7d0c6fcdc2

Hi @theolampert there hasn't been any progress from my side, but still I am happy to review PRs or guide any contribution :)

[theolampert]

@philprime Looking into the problem a bit more today I would actually need to support fixed width and height cells for a specific label printing spec rather than relative heights and widths. I'm thinking that TPPDF might not the right library to try to do this and rather implement the functionality with Core Graphics.

Hello, how is this issue going?

[brendand]

I would also love this feature. Could the code from @marioradonic be merged in with master?

[philprime]

I am happy to review any proposed solutions, and even using existing code ideas to implement this. Where can I find the progress of @marioradonic?

I found it a bit higher up in the thread:
