    public class Table

extends Rectangle
implements LargeElement

A `Table` is a `Rectangle` that contains `Cell`s, ordered in some kind of matrix.

Tables that span multiple pages are cut into different parts automatically. If you want a table header to be repeated on every page, you may not forget to mark the end of the header section by using the method `endHeaders()`.

The matrix of a table is not necessarily an m x n-matrix. It can contain holes or cells that are bigger than the unit. Believe me or not, but it took some serious thinking to make this as user friendly as possible. I hope you will find the result quite simple (I love simple solutions, especially for complex problems). I didn't want it to be something as complex as the Java `GridBagLayout`.

Example:

>      // Remark: You MUST know the number of columns when constructing a Table.
>      //         The number of rows is not important.
>      Table table = new Table(3);
>      table.setBorderWidth(1);
>      table.setBorderColor(new Color(0, 0, 255));
>      table.setPadding(5);
>      table.setSpacing(5);
>      Cell cell = new Cell("header");
>      cell.setHeader(true);
>      cell.setColspan(3);
>      table.addCell(cell);
>      table.endHeaders();
>      cell = new Cell("example cell with colspan 1 and rowspan 2");
>      cell.setRowspan(2);
>      cell.setBorderColor(new Color(255, 0, 0));
>      table.addCell(cell);
>      table.addCell("1.1");
>      table.addCell("2.1");
>      table.addCell("1.2");
>      table.addCell("2.2");
>      table.addCell("cell test1");
>      cell = new Cell("big cell");
>      cell.setRowspan(2);
>      cell.setColspan(2);
>      table.addCell(cell);
>      table.addCell("cell test2");

The result of this code is a table:

header
example cell with colspan 1 and rowspan 2 | 1.1 | 2.1
1.2 | 2.2
cell test1 | big cell
cell test2
