Class FormatCondition

Represents conditional formatting condition.

Example:

# Instantiating a Workbook object
workbook = Workbook()
sheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0)

# Adds an empty conditional formatting
index = sheet.getConditionalFormattings().add()
fcs = sheet.getConditionalFormattings().get(index)

# Sets the conditional format range.
ca = CellArea()
ca.StartRow = 0
ca.EndRow = 0
ca.StartColumn = 0
ca.EndColumn = 0
fcs.addArea(ca)

ca = CellArea()
ca.StartRow = 1
ca.EndRow = 1
ca.StartColumn = 1
ca.EndColumn = 1
fcs.addArea(ca)

# Adds condition.
conditionIndex = fcs.addCondition(FormatConditionType.CELL_VALUE, OperatorType.BETWEEN, "=A2", "100")
# Adds condition.
conditionIndex2 = fcs.addCondition(FormatConditionType.CELL_VALUE, OperatorType.BETWEEN, "50", "100")

# Sets the background color.
fc = fcs.get(conditionIndex)
fc.getStyle().setBackgroundColor(Color.getRed())

# Saving the Excel file
workbook.save("Book1.xls")
