Hi,
I'm trying to add a gradient background behind a column text object based on
user input.
My code is as follows
Rectangle rectangle = new
Rectangle(element.getPositionx(),PageSize.A4.getHeight()-element.getPosition
y(),element.getPositionx()+element.getWidth(),PageSize.A4.getHeight()-elemen
t.getPositiony()-element.getHeight() );
if (element.getBackgroundColourGradient()!=null &&
!"".equals(element.getBackgroundColourGradient())) {
PdfShading shading =
PdfShading.simpleAxial(_writer,element.getPositionx(),PageSize.A4.getHeight(
)-element.getPositiony(),element.getPositionx()+element.getWidth(),PageSize.
A4.getHeight()-element.getPositiony()-element.getHeight(),
Color.decode(element.getBackgroundColour()),Color.decode(element.getBackgrou
ndColourGradient()),false,false);
PdfShadingPattern pattern = new PdfShadingPattern(shading);
ShadingColor axialColor = new ShadingColor(pattern);
_cbr.setColorFill(axialColor);
_cbr.rectangle(rectangle);
_cbr.fillStroke();
}
else {
rectangle.setBackgroundColor(Color.decode(element.getBackgroundColour()));
_cbr.rectangle(rectangle);
}
Basically an element will have two colour fields .. if you provide 1 it
makes the background solid, which works perfectly, but if you provide both
it fills the text with the gradient colour, not the underlying background.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Damian
