Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Text()

iText.Layout.Element.Text.Text ( String  text )
inline

Constructs a Text with its role initialized.

Parameters
text the contents, as a System.String

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetAccessibilityProperties()

virtual AccessibilityProperties iText.Layout.Element.Text.GetAccessibilityProperties ( )
inlinevirtual

Gets the accessibility properties.

Gets the accessibility properties . See also IAccessibleElement.

Returns
an interface that allows to specify properties of a tagged element in Tagged PDF.

Implements iText.Layout.Tagging.IAccessibleElement.

Reimplemented in iText.Layout.Element.Link.

◆ GetHorizontalScaling()

virtual ? float iText.Layout.Element.Text.GetHorizontalScaling ( )
inlinevirtual

Gets the horizontal scaling property, which determines how wide the text should be stretched.

Returns
the horizontal spacing, as a float

◆ GetText()

virtual String iText.Layout.Element.Text.GetText ( )
inlinevirtual

Gets the contents of the Text object that will be rendered.

Returns
the string with the contents

◆ GetTextRise()

virtual float iText.Layout.Element.Text.GetTextRise ( )
inlinevirtual

Gets the text rise.

Returns
the vertical distance from the text's default base line, as a float.

◆ SetHorizontalScaling()

virtual iText.Layout.Element.Text iText.Layout.Element.Text.SetHorizontalScaling ( float  horizontalScaling )
inlinevirtual

The horizontal scaling parameter adjusts the width of glyphs by stretching or compressing them in the horizontal direction.

Parameters
horizontalScaling the scaling parameter. 1 means no scaling will be applied, 0.5 means the text will be scaled by half. 2 means the text will be twice as wide as normal one.

virtual iText.Layout.Element.Text iText.Layout.Element.Text.SetSkew ( float  alpha,
float  beta 
)
inlinevirtual

Skews the text to simulate italic and other effects.

Skews the text to simulate italic and other effects. Try alpha=0 and beta=12.
