[iText-questions] MultiColumnText and overflow
Hi everybody,
I need to specify the height of a MultiColumnText, doing this with the
specific constructor, when the text to write exceeds page margin, it goes
lost!
Why?!?
I'd suggest to change MultiColumnText behavior simply disabling some lines.
I'm sending the MultiColumnText class changed and a class for testing,
working!
Possibly, the overflow could be decided by user adding a setOverflow
method and relative handling.
So I can be able to choose whenever stop writing or simply starting a new
page.
What do you think about it?
Leo

[iText-questions] MultiColumnText and TOC
I'm hacking along nicely in my attempt to get a paper-style layout. Such a multi column layout still has articles (titles and bodies) and it is not illogical to want to build a TOC for these articles. No need to number them, but on which article can be found on what page would be nice. The MultiColumnText object does not support chapters nor anchors. Is there any reason why? Are chapters or anchors for some reason I cannot foresee unusable in a multi column layout? This probably means I have to do multicolumn manually... Or extend the MultiColumnText to support chapters and / or anchors. Or is there another way to get TOC information from a MCT?

Re: [iText-questions] MultiColumnText height
Indeed, it's a good question. I worked on an example and I managed to
reproduce the same functionality. But I still can't get it to return
the height of the last page so i know where to continue adding text..
Here's my code:
int status = 0;
int column = 0;
while ((status ColumnText.NO_MORE_TEXT) == 0)
{
if (column == 0) { ct.SetColumns(left, right);
column = 1; }
else { ct.SetColumns(left2, right2); column = 0; }
status = ct.Go();
ct.YLine = 790;
ct.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED;
status = ct.Go();
if ((column == 0) ((status
ColumnText.NO_MORE_COLUMN) != 0))
doc.NewPage();
}
doc.Add(new Phrase("this should be at the end on a
sigle column this should be at the end on a sigle column this should be
at the end on a sigle column this should be at the end on a sigle
column "));
the last line above, doc.Add(new Phrase( appears at the
beginning of the last page).
Is there a way to know how much space the multicolumns have occupied on
the page?
I saw that the text column has a property LinesWritten but it's 0 at
the end.. Any ideas?
Best regards,

Re: [iText-questions] MultiColumnText height
Hi, Appologies for the confusion. I am using a similar example to the one from your link. Also, I'm using itextsharp and a C# console application. The reason I got 790 was because my example was setting the YLine to be that much. I remove that statement and I got the following output for the folowing code: code: status = ct.Go(); Console.WriteLine(ct.YLine); output: 62 62 174 Press any key to continue . . . I'm not sure what those numbers mean, because the first two columns stretch over a whole page while the third one does not.

Y = 0 at the bottom of your page. 62 means you have a bottom margin of 62 pt which is nearly an inch. Indeed: if 174 is produced by your third column, it doesn't cover the whole page. This answers your question doesn't it?

If the content doesn't fit the page, only the content that was already added to the document is consumed, and you can add the remaining content to another column.

You have a header and a footer. This header and footer is the same on every page. You add them with a page event and it's a piece of cake to find out their dimensions (Y-top and Y-bottom are the relevant coordinates). Now you want to add several columns. You can do this with MultiColumnText or ColumnText. If you use MultiColumnText, you can do this in an automated mode that takes into account the margins you defined (Y-top and Y-bottom). You can also tell MultiColumnText where to start the column (Y-top), but then you have to work with isOverflow(). You have tried this, but you answered you had a problem with that. You say you don't know how many rows each of these tables has before outputting them to the MCT, but I don't see why this is an issue. That should be completely irrelevant, unless there's something you're not telling us. If I had to do the job, I'd use ColumnText. But that's my personal taste. MultiColumnText is a convenience class built on top of ColumnText. It is meant to make your life easier. And it does for most people. If it doesn't make it easier for you, you'll have to give a better explanation why not because I don't see the problem. Honestly! br, Bruno - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[iText-questions] [iText-Questions] MultiColumnText and nextColumn()
Hi all, I want to add some text in a column, and then jump to another one to write something else. I tried to use MultiColumnText, but it doesn't seem to work well. Here is the code : MultiColumnText mct = new MultiColumnText(); mct.addSimpleColumn(document.left(), document.right()*1/3-10); mct.addSimpleColumn(document.right()*1/3, document.right()); mct.addElement(new Paragraph(blablabla)); mct.nextColumn(); mct.addElement(new Paragraph(blablabla)); mct.nextColumn(); mct.addElement(new Paragraph(blablabla)); document.add(mct); With this code, the text goes in the first column. if I add nextColumn() before I add some text, the first column is jumped. I don't understand how the composant and the method nextColumn() work. Is there another solution to force the text to jump to the next column, or a different composant to do it ?

Bruno -
Now we're getting somewhere, it no longer goes into a loop. :)
Attached is another example. As I understand the way MultiColumnText works, it
should produce three columns at the bottom of the page. Instead, it ignores the
Y of the columns that I set, and puts them at the top of the page.

[iText-questions] MultiColumnText in non-automatic mode
Hello - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with a MultiColumnText layout in non-automatic mode. An example is attached. If I call the MultiColumnText() constructor without any parameters it seems to work fine, but I can't specify the initial Y value for where I want the layout to appear. If I call the MultiColumnText(float) constructor, where you can specify a height of the layout, MultiColumnText.isOverflow() always returns true, and the system goes infinite. The attached example is based on the Irregular MultiColumnText example given on the iText website. Any clues on what I'm doing wrong are very welcomed. Thanks! - Matt MultiColumnTest.java Description: Binary data
RE: [iText-questions] MultiColumnText next column or next page problem
There's a lot of misunderstandings here:
- until you do a document.add(mct) you are just gathering text in mct. A
mct.nextColumn() will do nothing
- onParagraphEnd isn't called in mct
If you need that fine control use a ColumnText.

[iText-questions] MultiColumnText next column or next page problem
Some background info: Im trying to add articles to a PDF file using the MultiColumnText class. This works fine. My problem is when an article starts at the almost end of a column it has to move to the next column or next page if it is the second column.What I do: Im opening a Document.(Im using a PageEvent for adding the footer and header) Then I create a MultiColumnText. This MultiColumnText gets filled with articles and after it's filled it's added to the Document.My problems: 1. When Im using the mct.nextColumn() function within the MultiColumnText it only works for the first page.2. My first thought was to use a onParagraphEnd(PageEvent) to calculate the end of a Paragraph in a MultiColumnText. This only seems to work at the Document level. Does someone know a solution for my problem?(when a article starts at the almost end of a column it has to move to the next column or next page if it is the second column.) Thanks Ray Yahoo! Autos.

I'm new ;) So, if I use MultiColumnText without setting height (AUTOMATIC) my columns respect my pre-existing headers but not footers. If I manually define the height, I'm not sure how to do the looping required. I see from the tutorial a hasMoreText() method but I don't find that in my 1.3 version. Am I completly off-track here?

[iText-questions] MultiColumnText Balance - *Possible* Bug fix
While waiting for a response, I looked into this a bit further. It seems that this issue may have been inadvertently caused with some of the recent changes to the MultiColumnText class. (I say inadvertently because there didn't seem to be any documentation to the contrary - if this was an intentional feature, then I apologize ;-) ) I've attached a fix to the class, as well as a modification to the MultiColumnTextSimple test case that demonstrates the issue. I hope this helps! Thanks!

Re: [iText-questions] MultiColumnText balance
There isn't a general way to automatically balance the columns if they won't fill up the page. For a particular set of content, however, you can set the height of the Multicolumtext object to make it balance yourself. Dave Bender wrote: I'm new to iText and it looks great. But I hit a snag. I'm using the MultiColumnText object to put a series of articles into a PDF. The layout is a headline (added as a paragraph) that stretches across the page, followed by the body of the text in three columns using a MultiColumnText object. How can I get the columns to line up across the bottom, so the column lengths are equal? Is there a setting for this somewhere that handles this or do I need to delve into how the columns are rendered?

RE: [iText-questions] MultiColumnText balance
Thanks, Steve. About half of the articles I'm working with fill one page and move onto the next. The rest are less than a page. In either case, I'm ending up with the first column filled, then the second or third column only partially filled. If I use the height parameter, how do I determine how much height I need to set it at? i.e. how do I know how much text there will be? Particularly when it's a long article that fills one page?

[iText-questions] MultiColumnText
Ever since Christian Lauer posted some questions about adding ColumnText directly to a
document,
I've been thinking about how I would want to use it. Last night I made a helper class
(MultiColumnText) that is an element and can be added to a document directly. It can
handle regular
or irregular columns and can either have a fixed height or flow to fill each page
until all of its
content is rendered. ColumnText is doing all the hard work underneath.
To test it I made a random iText poem generator. This snippet shows how
MultiColumnText is used:
// param is height, AUTOMATIC fills full pages until out of content
MultiColumnText mct = new MultiColumnText(MultiColumnText.AUTOMATIC);
// params are left edge, right edge, gutter width, number of columns
mct.addRegularColumns(document.left(), document.right(), 10f, 3);
for (int i=0; i30; i++) {
mct.addElement(newPara(randomWord(noun), Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
Font.BOLDITALIC));
for (int j=0; j4; j++ ) {
mct.addElement(newPara(poemLine(), Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Font.NORMAL));
}
mct.addElement(newPara(randomWord(adverb), Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Font.NORMAL));
mct.addElement(newPara(\n\n, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Font.NORMAL));
}
document.add(mct);
Would anyone be interested in something like this? I'll be glad to contribute
MultiColumnText or
enhance it if anyone thinks it is useful. I have attached the resulting iText poems
for your
amusement (I'm apparently easily amused). I liked the line drunken PdfPTable halts

offense intended Paulo).
