Constructor Details

SimpleTable

public SimpleTable()

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

Method Details

createPdfPTable

public PdfPTable createPdfPTable()
                          throws DocumentException

Creates a PdfPTable object based on this TableAttributes object.

Returns:

a com.aowagie.text.pdf.PdfPTable object

Throws:

DocumentException - Exception with information about the error

tableLayout

public void tableLayout(PdfPTable table,
 float[][] widths,
 float[] heights,
 int headerRows,
 int rowStart,
 PdfContentByte[] canvases)

Description copied from interface: PdfPTableEvent

This method is called at the end of the table 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 table.
• 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 table.

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

The widths and heights have the coordinates of the cells.
The size of the widths array is the number of rows. Each sub-array in widths corresponds to the x column border positions where the first element is the x coordinate of the left table border and the last element is the x coordinate of the right table border. If colspan is not used all the sub-arrays in widths are the same.
For the heights the first element is the y coordinate of the top table border and the last element is the y coordinate of the bottom table border.

Specified by:

tableLayout in interface PdfPTableEvent

Parameters:

table - the PdfPTable in use

widths - an array of arrays with the cells' x positions. It has the length of the number of rows

heights - an array with the cells' y positions. It has a length of the number of rows + 1

headerRows - the number of rows defined for the header.

rowStart - the first row number after the header

canvases - an array of PdfContentByte
