Data Rendering

The rendering of Pivottable is defined by a PivotRenderer. You set your custom renderer by calling setPivotRenderer() method on Pivottable, or just use the default PivotRenderer.

PivotRenderer determines:

• How data Object in each cell (either in column, row, or data field) is converted to String for display
• Column and Row sizes

In addition, you can implement PivotRendererExt (which extends from PivotRenderer), which determines:

• Custom sclass (CSS class) and/or style on data cells.

SimplePivotRenderer

We have provided SimplePivotRenderer, a basic implementation of PivotRendererExt, to be the default renderer and a skeleton class to extend from.

public class SimplePivotRenderer implements PivotRendererExt {
	
	private DecimalFormat _fnf = new DecimalFormat("##,###.00");
	private DecimalFormat _nnf = new DecimalFormat("##,###");
	
	@Override
	public String renderCell(Number data, Pivottable table, 
			PivotHeaderContext rowContext, PivotHeaderContext columnContext,
			PivotField dataField) {
		return data == null ? "" :
				data instanceof Integer ? _nnf.format(data) : _fnf.format(data);
	}
	
	@Override
	public int getColumnSize(Pivottable table, PivotHeaderContext colc, 
			PivotField field) {
		return colc.isGrandTotal() && field != null ? 150 : 100;
	}
	
	@Override
	public int getRowSize(Pivottable table, PivotHeaderContext rowc, 
			PivotField field) {
		return 20;
	}
	
	@Override
	public String renderField(Object data, Pivottable table, PivotField field) {
		return field.getType() == PivotField.Type.DATA ?
				field.getTitle() : data == null ? "(null)" : String.valueOf(data);
	}
	
	@Override
	public String renderGrandTotalField(Pivottable table, PivotField field) {
		if (field == null) return "Grand Total";
		return "Grand Total of " + field.getTitle();
	}
	
	@Override
	public String renderSubtotalField(Object data, Pivottable table, 
			PivotField field, Calculator calculator) {
		String calLabel = calculator.getLabel();
		String dataLabel = data == null ? "Null" : data.toString();
		return dataLabel + " " + calLabel;
	}
	
	@Override
	public String renderDataField(PivotField field) {
		return field.getFieldName();
	}
	
	@Override
	public String renderCellSClass(Number data, Pivottable table,
			PivotHeaderContext rowContext, PivotHeaderContext columnContext,
			PivotField dataField) {
		return null;
	}
	
	@Override
	public String renderCellStyle(Number data, Pivottable table,
			PivotHeaderContext rowContext, PivotHeaderContext columnContext,
			PivotField dataField) {
		return null;
	}
	
}

You can customize the rendering for following things:

Data display

To customize data display, override renderCell(), renderField(), renderGrandTotalField(), and renderSubtotalField respectively.

Column and row sizes

To customize the initial size of columns and rows, override getColumnSize() and getRowSize().

Custom CSS

To provide custom CSS class or custom style on data cell, override renderCellSClass() or renderCellStyle().

Samples of such customization can be found in the source code of Pivottable demo.

 

PivotHeaderContext

This class is commonly used in the arguments of PivotRenderer (or PivotRendererExt, PivotUIEvent, etc) methods. It represents a position (a slot) on either row or column axis. For example, the following method in PivotRenderer has two PivotHeaderContext object, for row and column respectively:

	public String renderCellSClass(Object data, Pivottable table,
			PivotHeaderContext rowContext, PivotHeaderContext columnContext,
			PivotField dataField) {
		...
	}

The header contexts and data fields corresponding to a cell are illustrated as the following:

 

Hide the Icon

You can also hilde the +/- icon by css as needed. e.g.,

Hide the '-' icon

.z-pivottable-icon-expd {
	display: none;
}

Hide both '+' and '-' icon

.z-pivottable-icon {
	display: none;
}
