// Thanks to https://github.com/ogham/rust-term-grid for making this available
//! This library arranges textual data in a grid format suitable for
//! fixed-width fonts, using an algorithm to minimise the amount of space
//! needed. For example:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use nu_term_grid::grid::{Grid, GridOptions, Direction, Filling, Cell};
//!
//! let mut grid = Grid::new(GridOptions {
//! filling: Filling::Spaces(1),
//! direction: Direction::LeftToRight,
//! });
//!
//! for s in &["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven",
//! "eight", "nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve"]
//! {
//! grid.add(Cell::from(*s));
//! }
//!
//! println!("{}", grid.fit_into_width(24).unwrap());
//! ```
//!
//! Produces the following tabular result:
//!
//! ```text
//! one two three four
//! five six seven eight
//! nine ten eleven twelve
//! ```
//!
//!
//! ## Creating a grid
//!
//! To add data to a grid, first create a new [`Grid`] value, and then add
//! cells to them with the `add` function.
//!
//! There are two options that must be specified in the [`GridOptions`] value
//! that dictate how the grid is formatted:
//!
//! - `filling`: what to put in between two columns — either a number of
//! spaces, or a text string;
//! - `direction`, which specifies whether the cells should go along
//! rows, or columns:
//! - `Direction::LeftToRight` starts them in the top left and
//! moves *rightwards*, going to the start of a new row after reaching the
//! final column;
//! - `Direction::TopToBottom` starts them in the top left and moves
//! *downwards*, going to the top of a new column after reaching the final
//! row.
//!
//!
//! ## Displaying a grid
//!
//! When display a grid, you can either specify the number of columns in advance,
//! or try to find the maximum number of columns that can fit in an area of a
//! given width.
//!
//! Splitting a series of cells into columns — or, in other words, starting a new
//! row every n cells — is achieved with the [`fit_into_columns`] function
//! on a `Grid` value. It takes as its argument the number of columns.
//!
//! Trying to fit as much data onto one screen as possible is the main use case
//! for specifying a maximum width instead. This is achieved with the
//! [`fit_into_width`] function. It takes the maximum allowed width, including
//! separators, as its argument. However, it returns an *optional* [`Display`]
//! value, depending on whether any of the cells actually had a width greater than
//! the maximum width! If this is the case, your best bet is to just output the
//! cells with one per line.
//!
//!
//! ## Cells and data
//!
//! Grids to not take `String`s or `&str`s — they take [`Cell`] values.
//!
//! A **Cell** is a struct containing an individual cell’s contents, as a string,
//! and its pre-computed length, which gets used when calculating a grid’s final
//! dimensions. Usually, you want the *Unicode width* of the string to be used for
//! this, so you can turn a `String` into a `Cell` with the `.into()` function.
//!
//! However, you may also want to supply your own width: when you already know the
//! width in advance, or when you want to change the measurement, such as skipping
//! over terminal control characters. For cases like these, the fields on the
//! `Cell` values are public, meaning you can construct your own instances as
//! necessary.
