public HSSFPatternFormatting createPatternFormatting()

create a new pattern formatting structure if it does not exist, otherwise just return existing object.

Specified by:

createPatternFormatting in interface ConditionalFormattingRule

Returns:

- pattern formatting object, never returns null.

getConditionType

public byte getConditionType()

Description copied from interface: ConditionalFormattingRule

Type of conditional formatting rule.

MUST be either ConditionalFormattingRule.CONDITION_TYPE_CELL_VALUE_IS or ConditionalFormattingRule.CONDITION_TYPE_FORMULA

Specified by:

getConditionType in interface ConditionalFormattingRule

Returns:

- the conditiontype for the cfrule

getComparisonOperation

public byte getComparisonOperation()

Description copied from interface: ConditionalFormattingRule

The comparison function used when the type of conditional formatting is set to ConditionalFormattingRule.CONDITION_TYPE_CELL_VALUE_IS

MUST be a constant from ComparisonOperator

Specified by:

getComparisonOperation in interface ConditionalFormattingRule

Returns:

- the comparisionoperatation for the cfrule

getFormula1

public java.lang.String getFormula1()

Description copied from interface: ConditionalFormattingRule

The formula used to evaluate the first operand for the conditional formatting rule.

If the condition type is ConditionalFormattingRule.CONDITION_TYPE_CELL_VALUE_IS, this field is the first operand of the comparison. If type is ConditionalFormattingRule.CONDITION_TYPE_FORMULA, this formula is used to determine if the conditional formatting is applied.

If comparison type is ConditionalFormattingRule.CONDITION_TYPE_FORMULA the formula MUST be a Boolean function

Specified by:

getFormula1 in interface ConditionalFormattingRule

Returns:

the first formula

getFormula2

public java.lang.String getFormula2()

Description copied from interface: ConditionalFormattingRule

The formula used to evaluate the second operand of the comparison when comparison type is ConditionalFormattingRule.CONDITION_TYPE_CELL_VALUE_IS and operator is either ComparisonOperator.BETWEEN or ComparisonOperator.NOT_BETWEEN

Specified by:

getFormula2 in interface ConditionalFormattingRule

Returns:

the second formula
