Support AutoWidth

[Barbatruuk]

I'd like to have an option to have each cellwidth calculated according to the added values (never wrap), so I'd get for instance;

|subject         |date       |name                                 |
|sbj             |2018-01-01 |a very very very very very long name |
|another subject |2018-01-01 |shortname                            |

Instead of the equal distribution according to the set width.

Excellent idea. The width of a column should depend on the longest string in that column.

This can be done via
AsciiTable.getRenderer().setCWC(AT_ColumnWidthCalculator)

The Behaviour you want can be achieved by using
CWC_LongestLine
I think.

Note that you seem to have to set the CWC right before rendering (= after adding content).

Also see here:

CWC_LongestLine is good, shouldn't it be default behavior?

This should be default behavior IMO. btw the Link shown by haukee does not include the code shown in the same post.

The following works:

t.getRenderer().setCWC(new CWC_LongestLine())

This project would benefit from better out-of-the-box functionality like this: I was about to dump it: but with this it is useful.
