Any thoughts on this?
This can't be done automatically. You need to define absolute column widths (no relative values, no width percentage for the table). Then you need to measure each piece of text you're adding to a cell. If the length < the column width, you either choose a smaller font (this is preferred), or you scale the Chunk (if the scaling factor doesn't deform the text too much). Another way to do this, is to use empty cells with a fixed height, and to pass the content to a cell event. The cell event gets a Rectangle object defining the size and position of the cell. There are different ways to fit the content in such a rectangle. > Bruno, if you read this, congratulations on a truly outstanding book. > And probably outstanding product, too, though I am just starting with it. A second edition is been written as we speak. It will be totally different from the first book, the aim is to have a complementary book that covers the same topics, but from a different angle (including the new features that have been added in the last 3 years). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
