    • setFont

      public T setFont (PdfFont font)
      Sets the font of this Element.

      This property overrides the value set by setFontFamily(java.lang.String...). Font is set either via exact PdfFont instance or via font-family name that should correspond to the font in FontProvider, but not both.

    • setFontFamily

      public T setFontFamily (String... fontFamilyNames)
      Sets the preferable font families for this Element. Note that FontProvider shall be set as well. See RootElement.setFontProvider(FontProvider)

      All String that are passed as argument are directly handled as a collection of font family names, without any pre-processing. Every font family name is treated as a preferable font-family to be used inside the element. The fontFamilyNames argument is interpreted as as an ordered list, where every next font-family should be used if font for the previous one was not found or doesn't contain required glyphs.

      Parameters:
      fontFamilyNames - defines an ordered list of preferable font families for this Element.

    • setLineThrough

      public T setLineThrough()
      Sets default line-through attributes for text. See setUnderline(Color, float, float, float, float, int) for more fine tuning.
      Returns:
      this element

    • setUnderline

      public T setUnderline()
      Sets default underline attributes for text. See other overloads for more fine tuning.

    • setUnderline

      public T setUnderline (float thickness, float yPosition)
      Sets an horizontal line that can be an underline or a strikethrough. Actually, the line can be anywhere vertically and has always the text width. Multiple call to this method will produce multiple lines.
      Parameters:
      thickness - the absolute thickness of the line
      yPosition - the absolute y position relative to the baseline
      Returns:
      this element

    • setUnderline

      public T setUnderline (Color color, float thickness, float thicknessMul, float yPosition, float yPositionMul, int lineCapStyle)
      Sets an horizontal line that can be an underline or a strikethrough. Actually, the line can be anywhere vertically due to position parameter. Multiple call to this method will produce multiple lines.

      The thickness of the line will be thickness + thicknessMul * fontSize. The position of the line will be baseLine + yPosition + yPositionMul * fontSize.

      Parameters:
      color - the color of the line or null to follow the text color
      thickness - the absolute thickness of the line
      thicknessMul - the thickness multiplication factor with the font size
      yPosition - the absolute y position relative to the baseline
      yPositionMul - the position multiplication factor with the font size
      lineCapStyle - the end line cap style. Allowed values are enumerated in PdfCanvasConstants.LineCapStyle

      this element

    • setUnderline

      public T setUnderline (Color color, float opacity, float thickness, float thicknessMul, float yPosition, float yPositionMul, int lineCapStyle)
      Sets an horizontal line that can be an underline or a strikethrough. Actually, the line can be anywhere vertically due to position parameter. Multiple call to this method will produce multiple lines.

      The thickness of the line will be thickness + thicknessMul * fontSize. The position of the line will be baseLine + yPosition + yPositionMul * fontSize.

      Parameters:
      color - the color of the line or null to follow the text color
      opacity - the opacity of the line; a float between 0 and 1, where 1 stands for fully opaque color and 0 - for fully transparent
      thickness - the absolute thickness of the line
      thicknessMul - the thickness multiplication factor with the font size
      yPosition - the absolute y position relative to the baseline
      yPositionMul - the position multiplication factor with the font size
      lineCapStyle - the end line cap style. Allowed values are enumerated in PdfCanvasConstants.LineCapStyle
      Returns:
      this element
