Hi

My question is about how to get a handle to the vertical position using
different "render" modes.

Using document.add(paragraph) affects the writer.getverticalPosition(t/f)
which is perfect and that gives me a chance to set the starting position
when I need to add a table using writeSelectedRows.

But if I need to handle the opposite situation?

After a table is added using the previous mentioned method I know that
method returns the vertical position of the bottom row (lower edge I
assume), but then if I want to add another paragraph (or chunk) - using
document.add - right after the table is inserted, there is no way to move
the writer to that position. I've tried to keep track of the height of the
latest rendered table and adding that as a leadingBefore at the first
attempt to use document.add() (and after that I reset the latest table
height to zero), but I'm not sure this is the way to go 'cause I'm having
problem with this when another thing is taken into consideration, page
breaks.

Any general advice in this?

/R
