FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Usage
The goal of this library is not to replace a complex HTML table with row and cell spans. It's mainly useful if you want to display loads of lines (for an invoice, etc.) and be sure page breaks are in the right place. You can adapt the number of widow lines (minimum of lines that must appear on the last page), and use plugins to customize the flow (see below).
Basic usage
Plugins
Have a column that fit the remaining page width
Stripe rows
Widows management
Debug
The TcTable comes with a debug plugin tool that display datas passed in each event.
You can extend the printer object by creating your own:
Advanced plugin: draw a subtotal for a column at end of each page
We can go further by calculating a sum for a column, and display the current sum at the end of the page, and finally report it on the next page.
And the TcTable
Custom events
TcTable triggers some events we can listen to. Plugins use them a lot. But you can simply define events without the need of plugins. It allows us to add some usefull methods.
Add headers on each new page
Renderer and body functions
When parsing data, you can define either a renderer function for each or some columns, or an anonymous function when calling $tctable->addBody(). These functions are called twice, because it is needed in the process for height calculation. You need to take that into account in certain cases.
The same idea applies to column renderers.
Note In cases like the one above (creating a sum), you better should use plugins or events. With the event _TcTable::EV_ROWADDED, you can do exactely the same thing without bothering with height calculation (see below).
Optimizations
You can optimize the workflow if you know exactly the height of each row. You can bypass the height calculation this way:
If you want to change the way cell's height is calculated, you can override the default behaviour this way:
Remember that only multiline cells are checked for their height. The others aren't taken in the process.
Custom drawing function
If you need to insert images or need to do very specific things with cell's drawing, you can bypass the normal drawing function this way:
