Text.Layout.Table.Primitives.Basic

This module contains primitive modifiers for lists and Strings to be filled or fitted to a specific length.

Cut marks

data CutMark

Specifies how the place looks where a String has been cut. Note that the cut mark may be cut itself to fit into a column.

Methods

def :: CutMark

doubleCutMark :: String -> String -> CutMark

noCutMark :: CutMark

Don't show any cut mark when text is cut.

String-related tools

spaces :: Int -> String

concatLines :: [String] -> String

Filling

fillLeft' :: Int -> Int -> String -> String

fillLeft :: Int -> String -> String

Fill on the left until the String has the desired length.

fillRight :: Int -> String -> String

Fill on the right until the String has the desired length.

fillCenter' :: Int -> Int -> String -> String

fillCenter :: Int -> String -> String

Fill on both sides equally until the String has the desired length.

Fitting

fitRightWith :: CutMark -> Int -> String -> String

Fits to the given length by either trimming or filling it to the right.

fitLeftWith :: CutMark -> Int -> String -> String

Fits to the given length by either trimming or filling it to the right.

fitCenterWith :: CutMark -> Int -> String -> String

Fits to the given length by either trimming or filling it on both sides, but when only 1 character should be trimmed it will trim left.

Applying cut marks

applyMarkLeftWith :: CutMark -> String -> String

Applies a CutMark to the left of a String, while preserving the length.

applyMarkRightWith :: CutMark -> String -> String

Applies a CutMark to the right of a String, while preserving the length.
