These comments reflect the functionality in itext-paulo-139. There are two "modes" for table borders which I'll describe as normal and variable.
1) Normal mode borders are how borders have always worked in iText. In this mode, the borders are drawn centered on the cell boundaries. I think all the cell borders are drawn first (left to right top to bottom), then the overall table borders are drawn (for Table at least - PdfPTable doesn't have built in borders for the whole table). Borders for adjacent cells overlap. If you use variable borders in itext-paulo-139 (by setting the width of an individual side or explicitly calling setUseVariableBorders) then the borders will be drawn within the cell / table boundaries and they do not overlap. If you have differing border colors or widths on adjoining sides, then the borders will be joined with a miter. 2) Example using normal borders: setBorderWidth(0.5); setBorder(Rectangle.LEFT | Rectangle.BOTTOM); Example using variable borders: setBorderWidthLeft(0.5); setBorderWidthBottom(0.5); 3) The value in setBorder is a bit flag of the sides to enable (see normal border example above). Border widths, like all measurements in iText, are in units of points. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mayank Mishra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 3:06 PM Subject: [iText-questions] Table and cell borders > > 1)What is border behavior if borders overlap?(Table-cell,cell-cell) > > 2)How can we reset all borders(left,right,top,bottom) to "no border" and then > set the required borders as per out need? > > 3)what is "value" in setBorder(int value) --pixel or...? > > Thanks > Mayank Mishra ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
