Interface CreationHelper

All Known Implementing Classes:: HSSFCreationHelper

public interface CreationHelper

An object that handles instantiating concrete classes of the various instances one needs for HSSF and XSSF. Works around a major shortcoming in Java, where we can't have static methods on interfaces or abstract classes. This allows you to get the appropriate class for a given interface, without you having to worry about if you're dealing with HSSF or XSSF, despite Java being quite rubbish.

`DataFormat`	`createDataFormat()` Creates a new DataFormat instance
`ExtendedColor`	`createExtendedColor()` Creates a XSSF-style Color object, used for extended sheet formattings and conditional formattings
