Interface Style

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface Style
extends Serializable

A Style represents the visual presentation ('styling') attributes of a value in a Row. Styling can be used to highlight special values and format the cells of eg. a spreadsheet. Most datastores don't support styling, but some do. Those who do not support it will just omit it. Creation of Style objects is handled by the StyleBuilder class.
