-
A TableColumn represents a column within a Google Slides table, comprised of a list of TableCells and identified by its column index.
-
Developers can access and manipulate TableColumns using methods like getCell(), getIndex(), getNumCells(), getParentTable(), getWidth(), and remove().
-
These methods allow for retrieving specific cells, determining column index and size, identifying the parent table, and removing the column entirely.
-
Each method requires specific authorization scopes, typically 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations.currentonly' or 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations', to interact with Google Slides presentations.
-
Removing a TableColumn with merged cells may remove common spanned columns and potentially the entire table if no columns remain.
