Method Detail

draw

public void draw(PdfContentByte canvas,
                 float llx,
                 float lly,
                 float urx,
                 float ury,
                 float y)
Description copied from interface: DrawInterface
Implement this method if you want to draw something at the current Y position (for instance a line).

Specified by:
draw in interface DrawInterface
Parameters:
canvas - the canvas on which you can draw
llx - the x coordinate of the left page margin
lly - the y coordinate of the bottom page margin
urx - the x coordinate of the right page margin
ury - the y coordinate of the top page margin
y - the current y position on the page

process

public boolean process(ElementListener listener)
Description copied from interface: Element
Processes the element by adding it (or the different parts) to an ElementListener.

Specified by:
process in interface Element
Parameters:
listener - an ElementListener
Returns:
true if the element was processed successfully

Element.process(com.lowagie.text.ElementListener)

type

public int type()
Description copied from interface: Element
Gets the type of the text element.

Specified by:
type in interface Element
Returns:
a type
See Also:

isContent

public boolean isContent()
Description copied from interface: Element
Checks if this element is a content object. If not, it's a metadata object.

Specified by:
isContent in interface Element
Returns:
true if this is a 'content' element; false if this is a 'metadata' element

Setter for the interface with the overruling draw() method.

Parameters:
drawInterface - a DrawInterface implementation

getOffset

public float getOffset()
Getter for the offset relative to the baseline of the current line.

Returns:
an offset

setOffset

public void setOffset(float offset)
