Method Detail

### getTableCellRendererComponent

    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
                                                   Object value,
                                                   boolean isSelected,
                                                   boolean hasFocus,
                                                   int row,
                                                   int column)

  Returns the component used for drawing the cell. This method is used to configure the renderer appropriately before drawing.

  Parameters:
    `table` - the `JTable` that is asking the renderer to draw; can be `null`
    `value` - the value of the cell to be rendered. It is up to the specific renderer to interpret and draw the value. For example, if `value` is the string "true", it could be rendered as a string or it could be rendered as a check box that is checked. `null` is a valid value
    `isSelected` - true if the cell is to be rendered with the selection highlighted; otherwise false
    `hasFocus` - if true, render cell appropriately. For example, put a special border on the cell, if the cell can be edited, render in the color used to indicate editing
    `row` - the row index of the cell being drawn. When drawing the header, the value of `row` is -1
    `column` - the column index of the cell being drawn
