Not quite. MoveTo is used exclusively for paths. Paths can be stroked, yes. But a closed path can be filled (with a solid color, pattern, or gradient) or used as a clipping region.
MoveTo changes the 'current location' for a path, but doesn't actually create a path element. It is akin to picking up your pencil and moving it to another part of the paper. That's not a particularly good example... pencils always 'stroke', where paths can do several different things. Here's some content that creates a 20 x 10 rectangular path: 10 10 m 10 20 l 30 20 l 30 10 l 10 10 l By itself, it's invisible... until you stroke and/or fill it. PS: you could create the same path with the 're'ctangle operator instead: 10 10 20 10 re (that's 'x y width height') --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typedef std::Disclaimer<Cardiff> DisCard; > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Glen > Self > Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 5:08 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Mixing text and lines > > > Paulo Soares <psoares <at> consiste.pt> writes: > > > > > The cb.moveTo(50,50) shouldn't be there, you are starting a > path and not > > ending it before you add the text. > > > > Paulo > > Thanks Paulo, > Am I correct in assuming that cb.moveto is used only for > graphics and needs a > cb.stroke to terminate it then? > > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
