Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected AbstractRenderer	createOverflowRenderer(IRenderer overflowedContentRenderer)	Creates an overflow renderer.
void	drawBorder(DrawContext drawContext)	Performs the drawing operation for the border of this renderer, if defined by the Property.BORDER_TOP, Property.BORDER_RIGHT, Property.BORDER_BOTTOM and Property.BORDER_LEFT values in either the layout element or this IRenderer itself.
IRenderer	getNextRenderer()	Gets a new instance of this class to be used as a next renderer, after this renderer is used, if IRenderer.layout(LayoutContext) is called more than once.
LayoutResult	layout(LayoutContext layoutContext)	This method simulates positioning of the renderer, including all of its children, and returns the LayoutResult, representing the layout result, including occupied area, status, i.e.
protected MulticolRenderer.MulticolLayoutResult	layoutInColumns(LayoutContext layoutContext, Rectangle actualBBox)	Layouts multicol in the passed area.
final void	setHeightCalculator(MulticolRenderer.ColumnHeightCalculator heightCalculator)	Sets the height calculator to be used by this renderer.

Constructor Details

MulticolRenderer

             public MulticolRenderer
             (MulticolContainer modelElement)
            

Creates a DivRenderer from its corresponding layout object.

Parameters:

modelElement - the MulticolContainer which this object should manage

Method Details

setHeightCalculator

             public final void setHeightCalculator
             (MulticolRenderer.ColumnHeightCalculator heightCalculator)
            

Sets the height calculator to be used by this renderer.

Parameters:

heightCalculator - the height calculator to be used by this renderer.

layout

             public LayoutResult layout
             (LayoutContext layoutContext)
            

This method simulates positioning of the renderer, including all of its children, and returns the LayoutResult, representing the layout result, including occupied area, status, i.e. if there was enough place to fit the renderer subtree, etc. LayoutResult can be extended to return custom layout results for custom elements, e.g. TextRenderer uses TextLayoutResult as its result. This method can be called standalone to learn how much area the renderer subtree needs, or can be called before IRenderer.draw(DrawContext), to prepare the renderer to be flushed to the output stream.

Parameters:

layoutContext - the description of layout area and any other additional information

Returns:

result of the layout process

getNextRenderer

             public IRenderer getNextRenderer()
            

Gets a new instance of this class to be used as a next renderer, after this renderer is used, if IRenderer.layout(LayoutContext) is called more than once.

Returns:

new renderer instance

drawBorder

             public void drawBorder
             (DrawContext drawContext)
            

Performs the drawing operation for the border of this renderer, if defined by the Property.BORDER_TOP, Property.BORDER_RIGHT, Property.BORDER_BOTTOM and Property.BORDER_LEFT values in either the layout element or this IRenderer itself.

Overrides:

drawBorder in class AbstractRenderer

Parameters:

drawContext - the context (canvas, document, etc) of this drawing operation.

layoutInColumns

             protected MulticolRenderer.MulticolLayoutResult layoutInColumns
             (LayoutContext layoutContext, Rectangle actualBBox)
            

Layouts multicol in the passed area.

Parameters:

layoutContext - the layout context

actualBBox - the area to layout multicol on

Returns:

the MulticolRenderer.MulticolLayoutResult instance

createOverflowRenderer

             protected AbstractRenderer createOverflowRenderer
             (IRenderer overflowedContentRenderer)
            

Creates an overflow renderer.

Parameters:

overflowedContentRenderer - an overflowed content renderer

Returns:

a new AbstractRenderer instance
