Bruno, thanks for your help with this. I was just going over your reply and I might not have been clear or I'm just confused, but can I successfully draw a line (an Html HR style line) using generic tag events? In the example that I attached previously I was trying to use generic tag events and you responded with something different. I need to be able to do something similar to the old Graphic class which was being used to draw the HR line. I was hoping that generic tag events would do it, but I can't get the rectangle passed into the OnGenericTag event to give the right dimensions.
I am attaching a different example this time. This example is adding a "HR" line to a cell in a table. The line should be drawn to span the cell the chunk (w/a generic tag set) is in. The problem is that the rectangle has a width of 0 (because the chunk has nothing in it) in the OnGenericTag method. How else can I generate an HR style line if a generic tag won't work? The reason the Graphic class worked so well we that it allowed the object be added to ColumnText without needing to know the exact length by using a percent. I was hoping to get the same effect using the generic tag method. Hope that wasn't too long and was somewhat coherent. Thanks for the help, -Mitch -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mitch Freed Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 11:37 AM To: Post all your questions about iText here Subject: Re: [iText-questions] HR Using PageEvent vs DeprecatedGraphic Object Thanks for the reply. The problem I had using document.Right and document.Left was that it didn't match the current column (e.g. 300 specified by SetSimpleColumn()) width. The document width could be 612, but the current column width is 300, so document.Right would span the page and not the column, resulting in the line spanning the page and not the column. My workaround is to call a method to keep track of the current column width every time I call SetSimpleColumn so that the PageEvent handler always knows the current "page" (column) width. It would be nice though if I could get the rectangle or document passed into OnGenericTag to represent the actual width of the current column specified by ColumnText. Hope that makes sense.
