### Public Instance Methods

align=(location) click to toggle source

Combined method for both horizontal and vertical alignment. Sets the first valid value (e.g. Format#align = :justify only sets the horizontal alignment. Use one of the aliases prefixed with :v if you need to disambiguate.)

This is essentially a backward-compatibility method and may be removed at some point in the future.

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 133
    def align= location
      self.horizontal_align = location
    rescue ArgumentError
      self.vertical_align = location rescue ArgumentError
    end

border() click to toggle source

Returns an Array containing the line styles of the four borders: bottom, top, right, left

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 141
    def border
      [bottom, top, right, left]
    end

border=(style) click to toggle source

Set same line style on all four borders at once (left, right, top, bottom)

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 146
    def border=(style)
      [:bottom=, :top=, :right=, :left=].each do |writer| send writer, style end
    end

border_color() click to toggle source

Returns an Array containing the colors of the four borders: bottom, top, right, left

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 152
    def border_color
      [@bottom_color,@top_color,@right_color,@left_color]
    end

border_color=(color) click to toggle source

Set all four border colors to color (left, right, top, bottom)

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 157
    def border_color=(color)
      [:bottom_color=, :top_color=, :right_color=, :left_color=].each do |writer|
        send writer, color end
    end

bottom_color click to toggle source

Color attributes

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 51
    colors  :bottom_color, :top_color, :left_color, :right_color,
            :pattern_fg_color, :pattern_bg_color,
            :diagonal_color

center_across!() click to toggle source

Backward compatibility method. May disappear at some point in the future.

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 178
    def center_across!
      self.horizontal_align = :merge
    end

Also aliased as: merge!
cross_down click to toggle source

You can set the following boolean attributes:

cross_down | Draws a Line from the top-left to the bottom-right corner of a cell.
cross_up | Draws a Line from the bottom-left to the top-right corner of a cell.
hidden | The cell is hidden.
locked | The cell is locked.
merge_range | The cell is in a merged range.
shrink | Shrink the contents to fit the cell.
text_justlast | Force the last line of a cell to be justified. This probably makes sense if horizontal_align = :justify
left | Apply a border style to the left of the cell.
right | Apply a border style to the right of the cell.
top | Apply a border style at the top of the cell.
bottom | Apply a border style at the bottom of the cell.
rotation_stacked | Characters in the cell are stacked on top of each other. Excel will ignore other rotation values if this is set.

    # File lib/spreadsheet/format.rb, line 30
    boolean :cross_down, :cross_up, :hidden, :locked,
            :merge_range, :shrink, :text_justlast, :text_wrap,
                                                :rotation_stacked

      if rot.to_s.downcase == 'stacked'
        @rotation_stacked = true
        @rotation = 0
      elsif rot.kind_of?(Integer)
        @rotation_stacked = false
