[iText-questions] question about using Graphics2D object to write directly to the Document.

[s h]

hello all,

could someone explain in reasonably plain english what is happening here:

 

PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();

cb.saveState();

//this line in particular I find confusing when reading the javadoc

cb.concatCTM(1, 0, 0, 1, 50, 400); //someone explain the args?

//how do you set the Graphics2D to be the size of a table cell; ie so you can set your Graphics2D object to write to this area only?

Graphics2D g2 = cb.createGraphics(500, 300);

Thanks for all your help,

 

cheers

SH
