Hi Everyone,
I have a need to create 1 table per page that lays out a result set top to bottom, left to right.
Now, if I leave iText to do the table layout for me, it does it left to right, top to bottom.
I'm thinking to do what I want I need to do a little more work myself.. that's fine.
What I have been thinking is that I need to know the height of my cell when it's created and divide that into the height of the table.
What I can't figure out is, how can I create a Cell with the data in it, then get the height of that cell?
I tried the following:
private float getCellHeight( Attributes dirAttrs ){
// call createCell and return the height of the resultant Cell
Cell c = createCell(dirAttrs);
return c.height(); }
where createCell does the work of text formating etc.
So once I know this, I can basically say, that if Cell height is 50 and table heght is 500, and I have a 3 column table, I can fit 30 Cells to the page, and then put the data into the table a using the new Point() method.
Does this look reasonable?
Anyone done something like this before got any tips?
Pete.
