Row Height / Cell Padding

I am making a table in Pages and I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of the extra space in the cells. If I take out the lines around and in the table, it makes it look like there is a lot of extra space between the contents of each cell - vertically, as it would be in a paragraph of typed text (I guess imagine the difference between single space and 1.5 or double spaced text).
How do I get rid of this extra space? The row height in the inspector is as low as it will go so it just seems like there is needless padding.
Thanks,
scott

Hello alethe,
open the text inspector (the 4th button in the inspector), choose the tab button titled "Text" and move the slider button at the bottom to the most left position or type "0" into the number field on the right side of the slider. You can only in- or decrease the "cellpadding" for all four sides, not for a single side.

CSS issue when changing the table row height to 16px

Hello,
After changing the table row height through css like this:
.table-row-cell, .table-cell {
-fx-cell-size: 16;
the table rows are correctly displayed with a 16px height but the cell bottoms seem to be incorrectly set.
For example the following css style (a red 3px bottom border):
.table-cell {
-fx-border-width: 0 0 3 0;
-fx-border-color: red;
doesn't work anymore with the new row height whereas it works with the 24px standard row height.
While investigating with Scenic View, I noticed that changing the row height changes the TableRow layoutBounds height (from 24px to 16px so that's ok) but not the boundsInParent height which remains to 27px. I think it should become 19px (16 + 1.5 + 1.5). I don't know if it's a bug.
Anyway, any help making the css red border working for a 16px row height would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bruno.

Q: Would this help to just use absolute div tags and give me 'ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTE' positioning?
No. APDivs are not a good primary layout method. Use default CSS positioning (which is no positioning at all). Align page elements with margins, floats and padding.

Report Row Height and Column Width

Hi,
I have a cell in a report (a description column) that causes the row height to become very large (when there is a lot of text in the description). I can make the column wider on the report attributes page, but there doesn't seem to be any place to influence the maximum height of a row on a report, short of modifying the template.
Adding style attributes (e.g. max-height:30px) to an element only affects the <span> that the element resides in, not the table cell or row.
Displaying the column as a text area is a useful workaround. The downside is the border and scroll bars do waste a lot of screen real estate. Does there exist some other way of setting a limit on the height and/or width of a report, report column or report row?
Oh, and another question- how do make line breaks in this forum? There's no support for <BR> or [br].

Please reply to this thread, my customer is facing the same issue. He does not have issue with the excel and the pdf output but in the rtf output the table heght increases to accomadate the data.He want it to bevave in the same way as the pdf do.
Regards,
Ajay

Report Generation Toolkit Table Row Height-MS Word

I am having trouble setting the table row height in the report generation toolkit. I can set the column width fine, but the row height seems to remain the same no matter what I set it to. I have attached the VI that generates and formats the table, and the printout it is resulting in. I have also attached the template file I am using.
Any tips to get this to work right? I am trying to make the cells exactly the same height as the text inside.
Solved!

Hi,
So I tried .2 and it didn't work. So I went to Word to manually change it, and it did not work either. There is a selection box in word, for the table properties, that seems to default to the value "at least". When I changed this manually to "exactly" in word, no problem with the .2 manually in Word.
Hopefully this can be set within the template, for all new inserted tables. I'm not sure the report generator VI's expose this property. Well, this is a start for the issue.
Edit ****
You can go into the add table VI and expose the property. See pic. However, you have to decide if you want to "upgrade" this VI permanently to expose this property or make a copy with the property exposed. I haven't messed with the new class reports too much, so not sure of the ins and outs with this.
I think this is the issue with the row size becoming smaller.

Different row heights in one table - is this possible?

I want the height of each row in a table to be set to fit the contents of that particular row.
The column which drives the cell height uses the cell formatting options "Wrap Text" and "Row by Row Auto Fit". These options will set the row height of all rows to that which fits the tallest cell. What I prefer is to have one row height be 4, if that's all it needs, while the next row may have a height of 32 because of a long line of wrapped text.
Can this be done with DeskI XI 3.1?

In BO XIR3.1 the row height does not appear to be based on individual rows. Instead the row height is the same for each row in the table. Is there some setting that I need to adjust here?

Can we adjust ROW height in ALV report as like of Excel ?

Dear all,
Can we adjust ROW height in ALV report as like of Excel sheet ?
Can we increase/decrease the row height in the output display ?
How ?

Thanks a lot for your response.
I've tried your proposal, but it has no affect. The report cells show all their content using as much lines as necessary for this.This is the default behaviour for HTML table data (tables and cells expand to fit their content).
So I still have rows with lots of lines and rows with only a few lines mixed in my IR dependant on the cell content. Because some rows filling nearly the whole screen, it is difficult to get an overview with regard to adjacent rows.
I'm using Application Express 4.1.1.00.23. with Theme 21. Scarlet and Firefox 17.0.1.Are all users using Firefox?
Actually I'm working on my first APEX Solution for usage in my company and the customers demanding a solution for this topic . So I'm very keen to find a solution.
I'm very much looking forward to your response.I've been involved with similar issues in the past. My first response is simple: Does this data have to be shown in the report? Can the offending column(s) be removed from the primary report? They will still be visible in the single row view, and the detail view if there is one.
The second option is to create a detail view for the report with a structure that is better suited to the data involved, and make this the default view. (For an example of this, see the treatment of the PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION column in the detail view of the Products report in the Sample Database Application: click on the View Detail button on the Products page.)
The third possibility is some kind of customization of the presentation of the data. This will involve using some combination of HTML/CSS/Dynamic Actions/Plug-ins/JavaScript that you may not be familiar with: do you have experience of these? To go down that route you need to describe in detail how you want to present the data, or what behaviour is required when the data is too long, and share an example of the report on apex.oracle.com that we can work with.

CS2 automatically fit row height to content in table?

Hi guys, I'm using CS2 and I have a table with lots of pages. I need to be able to have the height automatically fit to the content of the tables. Unfortunately data is not consistent therefore some cells have 2 rows of content, others 8.
Automatically fit to content is not available.
I have tried adjusting row heights then 'table' > 'distribute rows evenly' but obviously this is no good as some are too cluttered, others too spacious.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Huh. Maybe I read the OP's posts correctly, I think, but I misread yours. I assumed that, since the thread-opener mentioned row height, that when the OP asked about getting rid of "distribute evenly" that row height was still under discussion. Looks to me like all you can do with cell width/column width is
1) Select a column and specify an exact width
2) Select a group of columns and specify the same exact width for all of 'em
3) Select all the columns and
a) Distribute columns evenly
b) Specify an exact width for all columns
Unfortunately, I have to use tables a great deal, so I feel like I'm up to speed on what we can and cannot do with ID tables.

Row height in tables

Hello,
I want to set the height of tables rows but I couldn't find the function or the right way to do it.
The table is in Column mode.
The row size mode is set to Use Explicit Size
First I remove all rows and columns and then the following code:
InsertTableColumns (SA_ScatPosPanel, P_MULT_ROT_Z_TABLE, 1, NbX_Points, VAL_USE_MASTER_CELL_TYPE);
ColWidth = PlotAreaWidth / NbX_Points;
SetTableColumnAttribute (SA_ScatPosPanel, P_MULT_ROT_Z_TABLE, -1, ATTR_COLUMN_WIDTH, ColWidth);
InsertTableRows (SA_ScatPosPanel, P_MULT_ROT_Z_TABLE, 1, NbY_Points, VAL_USE_MASTER_CELL_TYPE);
What should I add for setting also the row heights?
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally found the solution.
I did a mistake, by setting Size Mode to Use Explicit Size in the first row in the uir I thought it was the default value for all rows.
I think the documentation is not completely correct because it says that SetTableRowAttribute has no effect on existing cells but for the row height it has. That's the reason why I was looking to find a solution with SetTableCellRangeAttribute () as recommended.
I also tried with SetTableRowAttribute but because Size Mode was not correct it didn't work.
With this code it works:
for (i=1; i<=NbY_Points; i++)
InsertTableRows (SA_ScatPosPanel, P_MULT_ROT_Z_TABLE, i, 1, VAL_USE_MASTER_CELL_TYPE);
SetTableRowAttribute (SA_ScatPosPanel, P_MULT_ROT_Z_TABLE, i, ATTR_SIZE_MODE, VAL_USE_EXPLICIT_SIZE);
SetTableRowAttribute (SA_ScatPosPanel, P_MULT_ROT_Z_TABLE, i, ATTR_ROW_HEIGHT, RowHeight);

How to set an Excel row height to 0

Using the Office Web API how would one set an Excel row height to 0 or other number?
I would think this is possible since I am able to narrow the row height using a mouse in the same way one does on the Excel client.

Hi JimBassett,
What do you mean by "Office Web API"? I assume you mean the "JaveScript API for Office". If so, I'm afarid the current Office Javascript API did not provide the method to set the height of a cell.
If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Office Javascript API, please sbumit a feedback to Office Development Platform Uservoice.

Increase row height of a configurable table

Dear SCN members,
This is related to a configurable table realized using <chtmlb:configTable>. Please let me know about the following possibilities with this:
1. Is it possible to increase the row height of this table?
2. The content of a given cell is truncated with three dots and the complete content is visible on the tooltip if the context exceeds the column width. But is it possible to see the complete content of such cells on the table itself with some kind of wrapping rather than just on the tooltip?
Thanks!

It is not directly possible, however with iterator and use of text area, it is possible to display longer texts on a table.

Cross-tab cell padding: how to change

Post Author: EnRoute
CA Forum: General
I am trying to minimize the height of the cells of a cross-tab object. I can re-size the text, but that doesn't change the padding between the text and the cell border lines. There is more padding than I want. If I reduce the text height any more, the bottoms of the letters g, j, p, q, and y are truncated, even though there is a significant amount of whitespace below. Is there a way to change the amount of cell padding?

One way to do it in CR XI is to right click on the cross tab and then Cross Tab Expert and in the Customize Style tab, uncheck Show Cell Margins. That will eliminate the cell padding of white space.

Min. row height table style

A new table in Indesign is by default set with a minimum row height of 1.058 mm. This 'minimum' feature is also visible in a table style (the 'exact' feature is not for some reason). When I import a table from Word for example, it's row height might be different. For example a certain row had a height of 25 mm. So I applied the cell style to it where I set the 'min' rowheight to 1.058 mm. However, the row height still remains 25 mm. This doesn't only happen to imported tables. I've inserted a new table in indesign. This had a row height of 1.058 by default. Then I dragged a row heigher to 40 mm for example. Then I applied the cell style again with 'min' set to 1.058. The row height should turn to 1.058 but it remains 40 mm. Why can't I apply a rowheight in a cell style? Now I have to convert a table to text and then back to table again to get the default rowheight back.

If you want to force it to be a certain height, you should change "At Least" to "Exactly." "At Least" does just what it says it does—it sets a minimum for the row height, but lets the max vary. It should like you want to rows to be "exactly" a certain height, even if it causes text to become overset.
You should also be able to change your defaults when you have no documents open if you prefer it to work differently.

Row height betweeen the elements H2 and P

I would like to set the row height between the <h2>What this is</h2> <p>A simple page put together using HTML</p>.
The space is too high for me and I need do make the height smaller. How to do it?
Thank you.
<body> <h1>My first web page</h1> <h2>What this is</h2> <p>A simple page put together using HTML</p> <h2>Why this is</h2> <p>To learn HTML</p> </body>

Both P and H2 tags have inherit values for margins and padding and it's possible there is also values in your CSS. Without seeing your code it's impossible to say whether that is at play or not. All you can do is set the margin and padding from the CSS panel or set it in the code manually (see below links).
