Appending to current Row or Column

[lordofscripts]

I generate my document on the go as I piecewise-process a very large JSON file.

As I do that, I invoke several methods (also using a fluent API). I would like to know if there is a way to get from a Maroto instance either of these (need both):

• A reference to the currently active core.Row and the current column number (0: none so far, 1..n: column) and, just in case the user defined a grid larger than 12, the maximum number of columns in the document.
• A reference to the currently active (nil if none) core.Col instance.

The purpose of that as I stated, is to have my program append text or objects/components**** to the currently active Row/Col.

func generator(m core.maroto) {
    currCol, maxCols := m.CurrentGridColumn()
    var currRow core.Row = m.ActiveRow()
    var column core.Col = ...
    m.AddRow(mysteryHeight, column)
}

If anyone asks, core.Row has a Get columns() method, but it returns the slice of columns, not their total span (normally <= 12). One would need to get them and iterate over each column.GetSize() to calculate a total span. That's not good for performance.

Well, that's a weird example but shows some of the API features I need to be able to use Maroto to generate my document.
