[iText-questions] Images in Header

[Dirk Ulrich]

I am now creating a header using onEndPage. I created a Table, convert it to a PdfPTable and display it using the onEndPage method. This works fine but when I add an image (a GIF) to the table it is upscaled so that the rows height takes a third of the whole A4 page.
How can I display the image in its original size?

Here's the method to create the Table:

    protected Table initHeader()
    {
        // Header information
        String milestoneNameX = manager.getMilestoneName(data.getDataContainer().getTemplate().getMilestone().getMilestoneId().intValue()).getMilestoneNamex().toString( ) ;
        String milestoneAddition = data.getDataContainer().getMilestoneAddition().getMilestoneAddition().toString();
        String customer = data.getDataContainer().getProject().getCustomer().getCustomerName().toString();
        String projectTitle = data.getDataContainer().getProject().getProjectTitle();
        StringBuffer project = new StringBuffer("Project (");
        project.append(data.getDataContainer().getProject().get ProjectId())
               .append(") \n")
               .append(projectTitle);

        //Header for every Page :
        Table headTable = null;
        try {
            headTable = new Table(3);
        } catch (BadElementException e) {
            // Only thrown if a table with less than 1 column shall be created.
        }
        headTable.setWidth(100f);
        headTable.setPadding(3);
        headTable.setBorderWidth(0);
        floa t[] widths = {25f, 50f, 25f};
        try {
            headTable.setWidths(widths);
        } catch (BadElementException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

< span style="font-family: Courier;">        int headTableFontsize = 9;
        Font headerFont = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, headTableFontsize, Font.BOLD);
        Paragraph msNamePhrase = new Paragraph("Milestone " + milestoneNameX + " " + milestoneAddition, headerFont);
        Paragraph customerPhrase = new Paragraph("Customer " + customer, headerFont);
        //headerFont = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, headTableFontsize, Font.BOLD, Color.RED);
        Chunk projectChunk = new Chunk(project.toString(), headerFont);
        Paragraph projectPhrase = new Paragraph(projectChunk);
        Paragraph[] headerPhrases = new Paragraph[]{msNamePhrase, customerPhrase, projectPhrase};

        Cell cell = null;
        try {
            //////////// Traffic light /////////////
//            1=green,2=yellow, 3=red,4=grey
            GifImage traffic;
           
            switch (manager.getTrafficLightColor(dataContainer,dataID))
            {
                case 1:
                    traffic = new GifImage(realPath + "/static/images/traffic_light_green-neu.gif");                       
                    break;
                case 2:
                    traffic = new GifImage(realPath + "/static/images/traffic_light_yellow-neu.gif");
                    break;
                case 3:
                    traffic = new GifImage(realPath + "/static/images/traffic_light_red-neu.gif");
                    break;
                default:
                    traffic = new GifImage(realPath + "/static/images/traffic_light_grey-neu.gif");
                    break;
            }
            Image image = traffic.getImage(1);    // 1 == frame
            image.setAlignment(Image.ALIGN_LEFT);

            //document.add(image);
            cell = new Cell(image);
            cell.set
            cell.add(msNamePhrase);
            cell.setBorderWidth(1);
            cell.setVerticalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_MIDDLE);
             cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_CENTER);
            headTable.addCell(cell);
        } catch (BadElementException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
        &n bsp;   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            // Gifs couldn't be found.
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        try {
            cell = new Cell(customerPhrase);
            cell.setBorderWidth(1);
            cell.setVerticalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_MIDDLE);
            cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_CENTER);
            headTable.addCell(cell);
        } catch (BadElementException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        try {
            cell = new Cell(projectPhrase);
            cell.setBorderWidth(1);
            cell.setVerticalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_MIDDLE);
            cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_CENTER);
            headTable.addCell(cell);
        } catch (BadElementException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return headTable;
     }//end initHeader

and here's the code to convert the Table to a PdfPTable.

        Table t = initHeader();
        t.setConvert2pdfptable(true);
        PdfPTable p = t.createPdfPTable();

When I simply do this:

document.add(image);

the image is displayed in its original (small) size.

So, how can I achieve that the image is not upscaled?

Thank you,
Dirk
