A Table is a Rectangle that contains Cells, ordered in some kind of matrix.

Namespace: iTextSharp.text
Assembly: ITextSharp (in ITextSharp.dll) Version: 4.1.6.0

Syntax

C#
public class Table : Rectangle, ILargeElement, 
	IElement
Visual Basic
Public Class Table _
	Inherits Rectangle _
	Implements ILargeElement, IElement
Visual C++
public ref class Table : public Rectangle, 
	ILargeElement, IElement

Remarks

Tables that span multiple pages are cut into different parts automatically. If you want a table header to be repeated on every page, you may not forget to mark the end of the header section by using the method EndHeaders(). The matrix of a table is not necessarily an m x n-matrix. It can contain holes or cells that are bigger than the unit. Believe me or not, but it took some serious thinking to make this as userfriendly as possible. I hope you wil find the result quite simple (I love simple solutions, especially for complex problems).

Examples

CopyC#
// Remark: You MUST know the number of columns when constructing a Table.
//         The number of rows is not important.
<STRONG>Table table = new Table(3);</STRONG><STRONG>table.SetBorderWidth(1);</STRONG><STRONG>table.SetBorderColor(new Color(0, 0, 255));</STRONG><STRONG>table.SetPadding(5);</STRONG><STRONG>table.SetSpacing(5);</STRONG>
Cell cell = new Cell("header");
cell.SetHeader(true);
cell.SetColspan(3);
<STRONG>table.AddCell(cell);</STRONG><STRONG>table.EndHeaders();</STRONG>
cell = new Cell("example cell with colspan 1 and rowspan 2");
cell.SetRowspan(2);
cell.SetBorderColor(new Color(255, 0, 0));
<STRONG>table.AddCell(cell);</STRONG><STRONG>table.AddCell("1.1");</STRONG><STRONG>table.AddCell("2.1");</STRONG><STRONG>table.AddCell("1.2");</STRONG><STRONG>table.AddCell("2.2");</STRONG><STRONG>table.AddCell("cell test1");</STRONG>
cell = new Cell("big cell");
cell.SetRowspan(2);
cell.SetColspan(2);
<STRONG>table.AddCell(cell);</STRONG><STRONG>table.AddCell("cell test2");</STRONG>
 The result of this code is a table: header example cell with colspan 1 and rowspan 2 1.1 2.1 1.2 2.2 cell test1 big cell cell test2
