Somehow there was a formatting problem with my thread. Here is it again: Hi all,
I'd like to put paragraphs in columns and add images in between so that they don't overlap but follow each other. As it turns out, I can do this but can't scale the image at the same time.To be more specific: When I add images Image img = Image.getInstance(imgFile); and when I am in composite mode, which means I work with ColumnText and add objects (paragraphs, images, ...) by ct.AddElement(p); ct.AddElement(img); ct.AddElement(p); my image gets blown up to the size set previously by ct.setSimplaColumn(left, bottom, right, top); and all attempts to scale the image like img.ScalePercent(100, 50); before adding it are just IGNORED. The Paragraph p followed by the image is placed after the image, not over the image, as want it. However, when I want to scale the image, I have to add it by ct.AddParagraph(new Chunk(img, 0, 0)); Then the image is not blown up as above and I am even able to scale the image (all these functions work), however the image is placed over the existing text and the next paragraph is likewise not placed below the image but over it. Hence the yLine is not updated after image insertion. So it seems that I can't have both worlds, what would mean: Being able to scale the image und at the same time place it between paragraphs without adjusting the yLine or by other absolute positioning means. Am I missing a point or are my observations correct ? I'd appreciate any comments. PS: I'm using iTextSharp but I don't think that this causes a the problem here. -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/Image-scaling-not-possible-in-some-cases-tp2313229p2313231.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
