A co-worker pointed out that I don't seem to have the set_row or set_column methods from Worksheet.pm in my Ruby port - oops. Wonder how I missed that.
However, I'm wondering if these belong in the Worksheet class or Format class. I think the latter - I mean it *is* formatting. However, the Format class was designed to format individual cells, not whole rows or columns. That, and I'm afraid to deviate too much from John's code.
/me thinks about it.
