Field Detail

ROW

public static final boolean ROW

the CellAttributes object represents a row.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CELL

public static final boolean CELL

the CellAttributes object represents a cell.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

useAscender

protected boolean useAscender

Indicates that the largest ascender height should be used to determine the height of the first line. Note that this only has an effect when rendered to PDF. Setting this to true can help with vertical alignment problems.

useDescender

protected boolean useDescender

Indicates that the largest descender height should be added to the height of the last line (so characters like y don't dip into the border). Note that this only has an effect when rendered to PDF.

useBorderPadding

protected boolean useBorderPadding

Adjusts the cell contents to compensate for border widths. Note that this only has an effect when rendered to PDF.

Constructor Detail

SimpleCell

public SimpleCell(boolean row)

A CellAttributes object is always constructed without any dimensions. Dimensions are defined after creation.

Parameters:

row - only true if the CellAttributes object represents a row.

Method Detail

public void addElement(Element element)
                throws BadElementException

Adds content to this object.

Parameters:

element -

Throws:

BadElementException

createCell

public Cell createCell(SimpleCell rowAttributes)
                throws BadElementException

Creates a Cell with these attributes.

Parameters:

createPdfPCell

public PdfPCell createPdfPCell(SimpleCell rowAttributes)

Creates a PdfPCell with these attributes.

Parameters:

rowAttributes -

Returns:

a PdfPCell based on these attributes.

cellLayout

public void cellLayout(PdfPCell cell,
                       Rectangle position,
                       PdfContentByte[] canvases)

Description copied from interface: PdfPCellEvent

This method is called at the end of the cell rendering. The text or graphics are added to one of the 4 PdfContentByte contained in canvases.
The indexes to canvases are:

• PdfPTable.BASECANVAS - the original PdfContentByte. Anything placed here will be under the cell.
• PdfPTable.BACKGROUNDCANVAS - the layer where the background goes to.
• PdfPTable.LINECANVAS - the layer where the lines go to.
• PdfPTable.TEXTCANVAS - the layer where the text go to. Anything placed here will be over the cell.

The layers are placed in sequence on top of each other.

Specified by:

cellLayout in interface PdfPCellEvent

Parameters:

cell - the cell

position - the coordinates of the cell

canvases - an array of PdfContentByte
