Method checkColumnIndex

core/src/processing/data/Table.java:2275–2282

Same as getColumnIndex(), but creates the column if it doesn't exist. Named this way to not conflict with checkColumn(), an internal function used to ensure that a columns exists, and also to denote that it returns an int for the column index. @param title column title @return index of a new or prev

(String title)

   * @return index of a new or previously existing column

  public int checkColumnIndex(String title) {
    int index = getColumnIndex(title, false);
    if (index != -1) {
      return index;
    }
    addColumn(title);
    return getColumnCount() - 1;
