PLTableCell.createEmptyCell() with column span?

[fheldt]

PLTableCell.createEmptyCell() is quite handy but it is currently not possible to define a column span.

How about a variant like PLTableCell.createEmptyCell(int colspan)?

So instead of writing

plTable.addRow(PLTableCell.createEmptyCell(), PLTableCell.createEmptyCell(), PLTableCell.createEmptyCell(), ...)

just

plTable.addRow(PLTableCell.createEmptyCell(3), ...)

That's a quicky - sure :)

Nice and thanks for that but I meant something slightly different:

with new PLTableCell(new PLText("xyz", font), 5) I can create a cell spanning over 5 columns which is eg useful to create a summary row.

PLTableCell.createEmptyCells(5) creates an array of 5 empty cells (which is of course sometimes also useful)

So why not just adding this:

@Nonnull public static PLTableCell createEmptyCell (int colspan) { return new PLTableCell (new PLSpacerX (), colspan); }

@fheldt you are absolutely right - reduces the amount of objects needed :)
