You have the coordinates of a rectangle: lower-left corner: (document.left(), 0) upper-right corner: (document.right(), document.top()) You can draw a colored rectangle to the getDirectContentUnder(). If you want the rectangle to be adapted to the content in the column, you can use (document.left(), ct.getYLine()) as lower-left corner. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
