Lire::Report::GroupInfo - Object that groups columns created by the same aggregator. .

    my $info = $subreport->group_info( 0 );
    print "Group's name: ", $info->name(),   "\n";
    print "Group's columns starts at: ", $info->index(), "\n";

The Lire::Report::GroupInfo object holds the ColumnInfo objects that were created by the same aggregator.

You create a new Lire::Report::GroupInfo object by calling the create_group_info() method on one Lire::Report::TableInfo object or another Lire::Report::GroupInfo object.

Returns the name of this group. This name can be used to find the aggregator (from the report specification) that is responsible for the data held in this group.

Returns the row index in which this group's categorical column's labels should be displayed in the table header.

Returns the GroupInfo which contains this GroupInfo. This will be undef for the top-level TableInfo object.

Returns the column's index in the table at which the columns of this group starts. This will be undef until the group info object is added to a Lire::Subreport or another Lire::Group object.

Returns as an array, the Lire::Report::ColumnInfo and Lire::Report::GroupInfo objects contained in this group. Returns the ColumnInfo or GroupInfo that is at index CW$idx among this GroupInfo children.

Returns as an array, only the Lire::Report::GroupInfo contained in this GroupInfo.

Returns as an array, only the Lire::Report::ColumnInfo contained in this GroupInfo.

Returns the categorical columns' names as an array ref. Creates a new Lire::Report::ColumnInfo object as a child of this GroupInfo. The column info attributes are initialized based on CW$name, CW$class, CW$type and CW$label.

This will set the index of the ColumnInfo object.

Returns the created ColumnInfo object. Create a Lire::Report::GroupInfo which as a child of this group. This will also set the starting column index on the GroupInfo object. The CW$name parameter should contain the name of the report specification aggregator that is responsible for the content of this group.

Returns the created GroupInfo object. Returns the Lire::Report::ColumnInfo object that has the name CW$name. This method searches in the current group as well as in its subgroups.

Returns undef if the column isn't found. Returns the Lire::Report::ColumnInfo object that starts in column index CW$col_idx. This method searches in the current group as well as in its subgroups.

Returns undef if the column isn't found in the current group. Returns the Lire::Report::GroupInfo object that has the name CW$name. This will be undef if it cannot be found in this group info.
