AcDbTablePack: Introduction
AcDbTable is a new entity type
since AutoCAD2005 which will be a fast and simple
way building and maintaining table works within AutoCAD. The AcDbTable
is a combination of MTEXT and lines (as EXPLODE an AcDbTable will get
MTEXT and lines). Although AcDbTable is very effective, programming with
AcDbTable must depend on ActiveX because normal Visual LISP functions
such as "ENTXXX" can not be used to deal with AcDbTables,
especially on HUGE tables with over 100 single cells.
What we can modify in AcDbTable is
called the AcDbTable CELL which contain a column ID and a row ID.
The two integer is used to define the cell position in AcDbTable. In all
situations, the ID numbers are the key accessing the AcDbTable cell.
Unfortunately, getting the cell ID from graphic screen may contain
little trouble because we can not get it by picking mouse, even more,
the AutoCAD users may have to count in mind and answer the number to
programs. This operation is undoubted unsuitable for users.
AcDbTablePack is
designed to help AutoCAD users and programmers working together with
AcDbTable. AcDbTablePack will try to reduce the operation inconvenience
by doing some intelligent determination and return directly normal
Visual LISP arguments.

function(s)
tblpack-pickcell(3)
(tblpack-pickcell
Point1 Point2 VirtualFillColorACI)
Get the correct cell ID (row and column) from picked point(s)
TblPack-PickCell is a very powerful function. we can get a single
cell, a merged cell, or two single cells, even two merged cells
within one AcDbTable. The different input arguments may cause
different results:

| Argument 1 |
LIST |
An existing and
valid point list (if the point is located in an AcDbTable cell)
T will prompt the user to pick a point in the cell
NIL means ignore the point in this argument |
| Argument 2 |

Item3 |
INT |
The row ID of RIGHT-LOWER cell |

If only one single cell is picked, the
LEFT-UPPER cell and RIGHT-LOWER cell will be same and item1=item3,
item2=item4, item5=item6; if only one merged cell is picked, the
LEFT-UPPER cell and RIGHT-LOWER cell will not be same. |
