```

- Saving file to browser:

        'name' => 'Arial',
        'size' => 10,
    ],
    'borders' => [
        'allBorders' => [
            'borderStyle' => $excel->border::BORDER_THIN,
            'color' => ['argb' => $excel->color::COLOR_BLACK],
        ],
    ]
];
$excel->applyStyle($style, 'A2:D10');
```

- Fill data:

```
$data = [
    ['Name', 'City'],
    ['Zaki', 'Jakarta'],
    ['Dien', 'Bojonegoro']
];
$excel->fillCell($data, 'A1');
```

- Text wrapping:

```
$excel->wrapText('B5');
```

- Merge & unmerge:

```
$excel->mergeCells('A1:B1');
$excel->unmergeCells('A1:B1');
```

- Column widths:

```
$excel->setColumnWidth('A', 20);
$excel->setMultipleColumnsWidth(['B', 'C'], 25);
$excel->setDefaultColumnWidth(15);
```

- Row heights:

```
$excel->setRowHeight(3, 25);
$excel->setMultipleRowsHeight(['1' => 40, '3-5' => 25]);
$excel->setDefaultRowHeight(20);
```

- Set default font:

```
$excel->setDefaultFont('Calibri', 11);
```

$reader = new Reader();
$reader->loadFromFile('SampleFile.xlsx');
