#!/usr/bin/perl -w ############################################################################### # # Example of how use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel to generate Excel outlines and # grouping. # # # Excel allows you to group rows or columns so that they can be hidden or # displayed with a single mouse click. This feature is referred to as outlines. # # Outlines can reduce complex data down to a few salient sub-totals or # summaries. # # This feature is best viewed in Excel but the following is an ASCII # representation of what a worksheet with three outlines might look like. # Rows 3-4 and rows 7-8 are grouped at level 2. Rows 2-9 are grouped at # level 1. The lines at the left hand side are called outline level bars. # # # ------------------------------------------ # 1 2 3 | | A | B | C | D | ... # ------------------------------------------ # _ | 1 | A | | | | ... # | _ | 2 | B | | | | ... # | | | 3 | (C) | | | | ... # | | | 4 | (D) | | | | ... # | - | 5 | E | | | | ... # | _ | 6 | F | | | | ... # | | | 7 | (G) | | | | ... # | | | 8 | (H) | | | | ... # | - | 9 | I | | | | ... # - | . | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... # # # Clicking the minus sign on each of the level 2 outlines will collapse and # hide the data as shown in the next figure. The minus sign changes to a plus # sign to indicate that the data in the outline is hidden. # # ------------------------------------------ # 1 2 3 | | A | B | C | D | ... # ------------------------------------------ # _ | 1 | A | | | | ... # | | 2 | B | | | | ... # | + | 5 | E | | | | ... # | | 6 | F | | | | ... # | + | 9 | I | | | | ... # - | . | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... # # # Clicking on the minus sign on the level 1 outline will collapse the remaining # rows as follows: # # ------------------------------------------ # 1 2 3 | | A | B | C | D | ... # ------------------------------------------ # | 1 | A | | | | ... # + | . | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... # # See the main Spreadsheet::WriteExcel documentation for more information. # # reverse('©'), April 2003, John McNamara, jmcnamara@cpan.org # use strict; use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; # Create a new workbook and add some worksheets my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('outline.xls'); my $worksheet1 = $workbook->add_worksheet('Outlined Rows'); my $worksheet2 = $workbook->add_worksheet('Collapsed Rows'); my $worksheet3 = $workbook->add_worksheet('Outline Columns'); my $worksheet4 = $workbook->add_worksheet('Outline levels'); # Add a general format my $bold = $workbook->add_format(bold => 1); ############################################################################### # # Example 1: Create a worksheet with outlined rows.
