const int iText.Layout.Layout.LayoutPosition.ABSOLUTE = 3

RELATIVE

const int iText.Layout.Layout.LayoutPosition.RELATIVE = 2

static

Relative positioning is exactly like static positioning except that the left, top, right and bottom properties can be used to apply a translation to the object.

Relative positioning is exactly like static positioning except that the left, top, right and bottom properties can be used to apply a translation to the object. Relative positioning is literally nothing more than a paint-time translation. As far as layout is concerned, the object is at its original position.

STATIC

const int iText.Layout.Layout.LayoutPosition.STATIC = 1

static

Default positioning by normal rules of block and line layout.
