fColumnWidth interface

This object is a datatype that represents a length value used in a block or table. It provides everything fLength provides plus the ability to specify the length relative to related objects in the same block or table.

The contents should be measured to determine this length. For example, when specified for the width of a column in a block or table, the contents of each cell is measured and the column is sized according to the largest cell.

measure
Access	read-write
Returns	boolean

The percentage of space this object represents. For example, the width of a column or gutter in a block or table could be specified as a percentage of the width of the entire block or table.

percent
Access	read-write
Returns	float

The relative amount of space this object represents. For example, each column in a block or table is assigned space from the total width of the block or table according to its share of the sum of relative widths of all columns in the block or table.

relative
Access	read-write
Returns	float

ruleWidth
Access	read-write
Returns	boolean

fColumnWidthlength
Parameters	Stringlength The expression used to create the length. In addition to the string representations accepted by the superclass, fLength, the string can contain the following: # A hash character that isn't followed by a double quote " indicates that the measure property should be true. \| A vertical bar character \| indicates that the ruleWidth property should be true. [<n>]* An asterisk * (optionally preceded by a number <n>) adds <n> (or 1 if <n> is missing) to the relative property. <n>% The number <n> is added to the percent property.
Returns	fColumnWidth. The newly created fColumnWidth object.

Returns a length object after resolving any relative sizes if appropriate. Note that calling this method does not change this object but instead returns a new object with the desired property.

This method only acts on the properties of the underlying fLength object. That is, the returned object will have the same values in its percent, relative, ruleWidth and measure properties.

makeAbsolute
Parameters	None
Returns	fColumnWidth. An fColumnWidth object with an absolute underlying fLength object.

readResolveobj
Parameters	Objectobj The serialized representation.
Returns	fColumnWidth. The object corresponding to the serialized representation.

Returns a string representation of this length. Users should not rely on the details of what is returned, but instead use valueOf() to obtain an integral value which represents the absolute length of this object for computations and can be converted back to an identical length object, or toUnit() if a representation in a particular unit of measurement is required.

toString
Parameters	None
Returns	String. A string representation of this fColumnWidth object.
