Asking again, anyone know why text is drawn outside the boundaries of
ColumnText.setSimpleColumn() as demonstrated in the code below?
thanks - dave

Hi all;
And a follow-up to this (still trying to figure it out). If I call
textToWrite.setLeading(24f); then nothing is displayed. Shouldn’t the first
line still be displayed no matter how large the leading?
And reading the iText book about setLeading, I think when passing a single
float it’s the full height of the line plus leading, not just the leading –
correct?
Thanks – dave

Code:
FontFactory.registerDirectories();
Document document = new Document(new
com.lowagie.text.Rectangle(0, 0, 8.5f * 72.0f, 11 * 72));
PdfWriter writer =
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("test.pdf"));
document.open();
PdfContentByte pdfContByte =
writer.getDirectContent();
String str = "This is a ";
Font fnt = FontFactory.getFont("Calibri",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true, 11, 0);
ColumnText textToWrite = new
ColumnText(pdfContByte);
textToWrite.setAlignment(0);
textToWrite.setLeading(2.4f);
float xLeft = 72.0f;
float xRight = 1600.0f;
float yTop = 713.2f;
float yBottom = 702.25f;
textToWrite.setSimpleColumn(xLeft, yBottom,
xRight, yTop);
Chunk chunk = new Chunk(str, fnt);
textToWrite.addText(chunk);
// write the text
textToWrite.go();
// draw the rectangle
pdfContByte.moveTo(xLeft, yTop);
pdfContByte.lineTo(xRight, yTop);
pdfContByte.lineTo(xRight, yBottom);
pdfContByte.lineTo(xLeft, yBottom);
pdfContByte.lineTo(xLeft, yTop);
pdfContByte.stroke();
document.close();
