## org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel
Class HSSFConditionalFormatting

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFConditionalFormatting

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ConditionalFormatting

    public final class HSSFConditionalFormatting

extends java.lang.Object
implements ConditionalFormatting

HSSFConditionalFormatting class encapsulates all settings of Conditional Formatting. The class can be used

- to make a copy HSSFConditionalFormatting settings.
For example:

     HSSFConditionalFormatting cf = sheet.getConditionalFormattingAt(index);
     newSheet.addConditionalFormatting(cf);

- or to modify existing Conditional Formatting settings (formatting regions and/or rules).

Use `HSSFSheet.getSheetConditionalFormatting()` to get access to an instance of this class.

To create a new Conditional Formatting set use the following approach:

     // Define a Conditional Formatting rule, which triggers formatting
     // when cell's value is greater or equal than 100.0 and
     // applies patternFormatting defined below.
     HSSFConditionalFormattingRule rule = sheet.createConditionalFormattingRule(
         ComparisonOperator.GE,
         "100.0", // 1st formula
         null     // 2nd formula is not used for comparison operator GE
     );

     // Create pattern with red background
     HSSFPatternFormatting patternFmt = rule.cretePatternFormatting();
     patternFormatting.setFillBackgroundColor(HSSFColor.RED.index);

     // Define a region containing first column
     Region [] regions =
     {
         new Region(1,(short)1,-1,(short)1)
     };

     // Apply Conditional Formatting rule defined above to the regions
     sheet.addConditionalFormatting(regions, rule);

### getFormattingRanges

    public CellRangeAddress[] getFormattingRanges()

  Specified by:
    `getFormattingRanges` in interface `ConditionalFormatting`
  Returns:

  Parameters:
    `cfRule` - - Conditional Formatting rule

### addRule

    public void addRule(ConditionalFormattingRule cfRule)

  Description copied from interface: `ConditionalFormatting`

### getRule

    public HSSFConditionalFormattingRule getRule(int idx)

  Specified by:
    `getRule` in interface `ConditionalFormatting`
  Returns:
    the Conditional Formatting rule at position idx.

### getNumberOfRules

    public int getNumberOfRules()

  Specified by:
    `getNumberOfRules` in interface `ConditionalFormatting`
  Returns:
    number of Conditional Formatting rules.
