Cell formatting is used during building of a table. It is represented by a CellFormat object returned by the DocumentBuilder.CellFormat property. CellFormat encapsulates various table cell properties like width or vertical alignment.

Example DocumentBuilderSetCellFormatting

Shows how to create a table that contains a single formatted cell.

[C#]

 

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 

builder.StartTable();

builder.InsertCell();

 

// Set the cell formatting

CellFormat cellFormat = builder.CellFormat;

cellFormat.Width = 250;

cellFormat.LeftPadding = 30;

cellFormat.RightPadding = 30;

cellFormat.TopPadding = 30;

cellFormat.BottomPadding = 30;

 

builder.Writeln("I'm a wonderful formatted cell.");

 

builder.EndRow();

builder.EndTable();

 

 

[Visual Basic]

 

Dim doc As Document = New Document()

Dim builder As DocumentBuilder = New DocumentBuilder(doc)

 

builder.StartTable()

builder.InsertCell()

 

' Set the cell formatting

Dim cellFormat As CellFormat = builder.CellFormat

cellFormat.Width = 250

cellFormat.LeftPadding = 30

cellFormat.RightPadding = 30

cellFormat.TopPadding = 30

cellFormat.BottomPadding = 30

 

builder.Writeln("I'm a wonderful formatted cell.")

 

builder.EndRow()

builder.EndTable()

 

 

[Java]

 

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 

builder.startTable();

builder.insertCell();

 

// Set the cell formatting

CellFormat cellFormat = builder.getCellFormat();

cellFormat.setWidth(250);

cellFormat.setLeftPadding(30);

cellFormat.setRightPadding(30);

cellFormat.setTopPadding(30);

cellFormat.setBottomPadding(30);

 

builder.writeln("I'm a wonderful formatted cell.");

 

builder.endRow();

builder.endTable();
