A newbie question. How to draw a horizontal line (same as <HR> in html)
in PDF using iText.
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 36, 36, 36, 36);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
cb.setLineWidth(2.0f); // Make a bit thicker than 1.0 default
cb.setGrayStroke(0.95f); // 1 = black, 0 = white
float x = 72f;
float 7 = 72f;
cb.moveTo(x, y);
cb.lineTo(x + 72f*6, y);
cb.stroke();
Maybe you want to replace "72f*6" with "PageSize.A4.getWidth() - 72.0"
as the above example only gives you a 1 inch horizontal line, set one
inch up from origin (south-west corner).
On a related note if you know how to do a relative lineTo in iText I
would like to know, maybe PDF doesn't allow it ? But in the direct
PostScript I am porting from it would go like this:
/hrline {
gsave
translate
2 setlinewidth
0.95 setgray
0 0 moveto
72 6 mul 0 rlineto %% rlineto here in iText ?
stroke
grestore
} def
72 72 hrline
