Hello,
I am experiencing a problem I haven't found so far:
I'm adding a SimpleColumn (ColumnText) to the right side of the page at
absolute position. The right border is easy, just the full length of 210mm (A4)
minus the right margin.
But I'm having trouble with the left border-position (the Alignment in the
ColumnText is left).
To get this x-position I aquire the maximum width of the paragraphs in this
column (with the ColumnText.getWidth method), and simply substract this
float-value from the right border-position.
This works ALMOST very good and I think it is the right approach. BUT:
Even though I took the maximum Paragraph width for the column, the widest
Paragraph is still wrapped!
I have to make the column a "little bit" wider so it doesn't wrap. And this
"little bit" bothers me a lot, because it is different dependent on the widest
Paragraph.
Why is this? This is really a weak point in my application, because the content
is dynamic, I can't just say "Oh well, I make the column wider by 0.3 points",
because for a wider paragraph that might not be enough and it still wraps.
Is there a way to determine this "extra space" in width which is obviously
needed so the longest Paragraph doesn't wrap?
Thank you in advance, I really don't know how!
Bye M. Baumann
Code:
float rwidth=0;
Paragraph tel = new Paragraph(obj.getPhone(), FONT2);
Paragraph fax = new Paragraph(obj.getFax(), FONT2);
Paragraph email = new Paragraph(obj.getEmail(), FONT2);
if (ColumnText.getWidth(tel) > rwidth)
rwidth = ColumnText.getWidth(tel);
if (ColumnText.getWidth(fax) > rwidth)
rwidth = ColumnText.getWidth(fax);
if (ColumnText.getWidth(email) > rwidth)
rwidth = ColumnText.getWidth(email);
ColumnText ct2 = new ColumnText(cb);
ct2.setSimpleColumn(getPointsFromMM(210)-marginRight-rwidth-0.05f,
getPointsFromMM(207),
getPointsFromMM(210)-marginRight,
getPointsFromMM(252),
6.5f, Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
ct2.go();
ct2.addText(new Chunk("Tel: ", FONT2_BOLD));
ct2.go();
ct2.setLeading(leadingFont2);
ct2.addText(tel);
ct2.go();
ct2.setYLine(ct2.getYLine()-(leadingFont2/2));
ct2.addText(new Chunk("Fax: ", FONT2_BOLD));
ct2.go();
ct2.addText(fax);
ct2.go();
ct2.setYLine(ct2.getYLine()-(leadingFont2/2));
ct2.addText(new Chunk("E-Mail: ", FONT2_BOLD));
ct2.go();
ct2.addText(email);
ct2.go();
