      • getOptions

        @Internal
        public short getOptions()
        Note that options is an internal field. Use setInstance(short) ()} and setVersion(short) ()} to set the actual fields.
        Returns:
        The options field for this record. All records have one.
      • setOptions

        @Internal
        public void setOptions​(short options)
        Set the options this record. Container records should have the last nibble set to 0xF.

        Note that options is an internal field. Use getInstance() and getVersion() to access actual fields.

        Parameters:
        options - the record options
      • serialize

        public byte[] serialize()
        Serializes to a new byte array. This is done by delegating to serialize(int, byte[]);
        Returns:
        the serialized record.
        See Also:
        serialize(int, byte[])
      • serialize

        public int serialize​(int offset,
                             byte[] data)
        Serializes to an existing byte array without serialization listener. This is done by delegating to serialize(int, byte[], EscherSerializationListener).
        Parameters:
        offset - the offset within the data byte array.
        data - the data array to serialize to.
        Returns:
        The number of bytes written.
        See Also:
        serialize(int, byte[], org.apache.poi.ddf.EscherSerializationListener)
      • serialize

        public abstract int serialize​(int offset,
                                      byte[] data,
                                      EscherSerializationListener listener)
        Serializes the record to an existing byte array.
        Parameters:
        offset - the offset within the byte array
        data - the data array to serialize to
        listener - a listener for begin and end serialization events. This is useful because the serialization is hierarchical/recursive and sometimes you need to be able break into that.
        Returns:
        the number of bytes written.
