class PdfCell extends Rectangle
A PdfCell is the PDF translation of a Cell.

A PdfCell is an ArrayList of PdfLines.

When using variable borders (isUseVariableBorders() == true), the borders are drawn completely inside the cell Rectangle so that adjacent cell borders will not overlap. Otherwise, the borders are drawn on top of the edges of the cell Rectangle and will overlap the borders of adjacent cells.

    • useAscender

      private boolean useAscender

    • useDescender

      private 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).

    • useBorderPadding

      private boolean useBorderPadding
      Adjusts the cell contents to compensate for border widths.

    • verticalAlignment

      private final int verticalAlignment
