I'm trying to create a chunk of text such that it will match the size of a classic rectangle. I'm having a problem with the font width. I am trying to properly use setHorizontalScaling to achieve the proper width. I must not understand what it really does. Please advise. TIA!
//text is a String //font is a BaseFont //fontSize is a float Rectangle boundingRectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,250,150); float mod_x = boundingRectangle.width() / font.getWidthPoint(text, fontSize); float mod_y = boundingRectangle.height() / (font.getAscentPoint(text, fontSize) - font.getDescentPoint(text, fontSize)); Chunk c = new Chunk(text); Font modFont = new Font(font,fontSize * mod_y); c.setFont(modFont) c.setHorizontalScaling(mod_x); ....... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
