There may be methods and classes not included and any item marked with a <em style="color:red;">[NC]</em> is not complete and may have further parameters, methods, attributes and functionality that are not documented. In these cases, you'll have to refer to the source if the documentation provided is insufficient. </p> </p> <h2>Module Contents <em style="color:red;">[NC]</em></h2> <dl> <dt><b>easyxf</b> (function)</dt> <dd> <p> This function is used to create and configure XFStyle objects for use with (for example) the Worksheet.write method. </p> <dl> <dt><i>strg_to_parse</i></dt> <dd> <p> A string to be parsed to obtain attribute values for Alignment, Borders, Font, Pattern and Protection objects. Refer to the examples in the file .../examples/xlwt_easyxf_simple_demo.py and to the xf_dict dictionary in Style.py. Various synonyms including color/colour, center/centre and gray/grey are allowed. Case is irrelevant (except maybe in font names). '-' may be used instead of '_'.<br /> Example: "font: bold on; align: wrap on, vert centre, horiz center" </p> </dd> <dt><i>num_format_str</i></dt> <dd> <p> To get the "number format string" of an existing cell whose format you want to reproduce, select the cell and click on Format/Cells/Number/Custom.

An int, long, or decimal.Decimal instance is converted to float. A unicode instance is written as is. A str instance is converted to unicode using the encoding (default: 'ascii') specified when the Workbook instance was created. A datetime.datetime, datetime.date, or datetime.time instance is converted into Excel date format (a float representing the number of days since (typically) 1899-12-31T00:00:00, under the pretence that 1900 was a leap year). A bool instance will show up as TRUE or FALSE in Excel. None causes the cell to be blank -- no data, only formatting. An xlwt.Formula instance causes an Excel formula to be written. <em style="color:red;">[NC]</em> </dd> <dt><i>style</i></dt> <dd> A style -- also known as an XF (extended format) -- is an XFStyle object, which encapsulates the formatting applied to the cell and its contents. XFStyle objects are best set up using the <i>easyxf</i> function. They may also be set up by setting attributes in Alignment, Borders, Pattern, Font and Protection objects then setting those objects and a format string as attributes of an XFStyle object. <em style="color:red;">[NC]</em> </dd> </dl> <br /> </dd> </dl> </body></html>
