Called by the table when it wants to know how big a particular table cell should be

Params:
  • table – Table containing the cell
  • cell – Data stored in the cell
  • columnIndex – Column index of the cell
  • rowIndex – Row index of the cell
Returns:Size this renderer would like the cell to have

Called by the table when it's time to draw a cell, you can see how much size is available by checking the size of the textGUIGraphics. The top-left position of the graphics object is the top-left position of this cell.
