Constructor Detail

VerticalPositionMark

public VerticalPositionMark()

Creates a vertical position mark that won't draw anything unless you define a DrawInterface.

VerticalPositionMark

public VerticalPositionMark(DrawInterface drawInterface,
                            float offset)

Creates a vertical position mark that won't draw anything unless you define a DrawInterface.

Parameters:

drawInterface - the drawInterface for this vertical position mark.

offset - the offset for this vertical position mark.

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

See Also:

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

See Also:

Element.isContent()

isNestable

public boolean isNestable()

Description copied from interface: Element

Checks if this element is nestable.

Specified by:

isNestable in interface Element

Returns:

true if this element can be nested inside other elements.

See Also:

public void setDrawInterface(DrawInterface drawInterface)

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)

Setter for the offset. The offset is relative to the current Y position. If you want to underline something, you have to choose a negative offset.

Parameters:
