Hi everyone,
I know this question has been asked before, but I still can't figure
out what the answer is. I am trying to write the text within a
PdfPCell vertically, instead of horizontally.
I searched for this topic and found the following answer from Paulo:
"set the cell with a fixed height and use a PdfPCellEvent to paint the
text or whatever you want with the PdfContentByte provided."
So that's what I tried to do (see the code below). The problem is that
in the cellLayout method from the MyCellEvent, I still don't know how
to tell the "existing" text from the cell to display vertically.
I would really appreciate any help with this matter.
Thanks for your time,
Philip
class MyCellEvent implements PdfPCellEvent
{
public void cellLayout(PdfPCell pdfPCell, Rectangle rectangle,
PdfContentByte[] pdfContentBytes)
{
PdfContentByte cb = pdfContentBytes[PdfPTable.TEXTCANVAS];
// here I need to tell the cell that the text should be displayed vertically
// not horizontally, but I do not know how to do that.
cb.beginText();
Chunk chunk = (Chunk) pdfPCell.getPhrase().get(0);
cb.setFontAndSize(chunk.font().getBaseFont(), chunk.font().size());
// as you can see, I was able to write an additional text here (vertically)
// but this is not what I want. I need to tell the text that is already in
// the cell to be displayed vertically! How do I do that?
cb.setTextMatrix(0, 1, -1, 0, rectangle.right(), rectangle.top());
cb.showText("Text");
cb.endText();
}
}
// create table
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(4);
Font font = ReportUtils.GetFont(10, Font.NORMAL, Color.BLACK);
Chunk chunk = new Chunk(aCellString, font);
// create cell
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(20, chunk));
cell.setFixedHeight(100);
// set cell event
MyCellEvent event = new MyCellEvent();
cell.setCellEvent(event);
// add cell to table
aTable.addCell(cell);
