Element

Detailed Description

A set of elements to be used within a PDF document. A Group represents objects in a content object, but it resides in memory.

Therefore the group has no state and is not represented in any way in a PDF content stream. When used in a Clip, a group is used to associate Text objects into a single clipping object.

Member Function Documentation

DisposeChildren

voidDisposeChildren()

Returns:

void

[static initializer]

static void[static initializer]()

clone

Groupclone()

Returns:

The copied group.

Makes a copy of the group.

Make a copy of an group to obtain a new group that has a distinct set of attributes.

clone

Groupclone(java.util.EnumSet< ElementCloneFlags >cloneFlags)

Parameters

cloneFlags: java.util.EnumSet< ElementCloneFlags >

Flags that modify the cloning operation.

Returns:

The copied group.

Makes a copy of the group.

Make a copy of an group to obtain a new group that has a distinct set of attributes.

colorConvert

GroupcolorConvert(Documentdocument, ColorProfileprof, RenderIntentintent, booleanembed)

Parameters

document: Document

The document the element belongs to.

prof: ColorProfile

The ICC ColorProfile to be applied.

intent: RenderIntent

The ICC Rendering Intent for the ColorProfile

embed: boolean

If true, embed the color space and make the object calibrated. If it is false and the target profile is CMYK, RGB, or Gray, the colors space of the resulting objects, after conversion, will be DeviceCMYK, DeviceRGB, or DeviceGray, respectively.

Returns:

A new Group object with the applied ICC ColorProfile.

Applies the specified ICC ColorProfile to the elements in the Group object

delete

synchronized voiddelete(Booleandisposing)

Parameters

disposing: Boolean

Returns:

synchronized void

delete

synchronized voiddelete()

Returns:

synchronized void

finalize

voidfinalize()

Returns:

void

getBoundingBox

RectgetBoundingBox()

Returns:

The bounding box for this element. The coordinates of the bounding box are specified in user space coordinates, relative to the element's Content. Note that user space coordinates correspond to unrotated pages; any rotation specified in the page dictionary is not taken into account.

The bounding box for this element.

The bounding box is a rectangle that is guaranteed to encompass the element, but it is not guaranteed to be the smallest box that could contain the element. For example, if the element is a Path that contains an arc, the bounding box encompasses the bezier control points, and not just the curve itself.

getClip

ClipgetClip()

Returns:

- The current Clip for this Element.

Gets the current Clip for an Element.

getContent

ContentgetContent()

Returns:

Content

Obtain the content of a Group.

Returns:

Matrix

The transformation matrix for the element.

rotate

Parameters

theta: double

Returns:

void

Rotate an element by T degrees counterclockwise units using the matrix [ cos T sin T -sin T cos T 0 0 ].

scale

sx: double
sy: double

Returns:

void

Scale an element by (sx,sy) units using the matrix [ sx 0 0 sy 0 0 ].

voidsetClip(Clipclip)

Parameters

clip: Clip

The clip to set as the current clip for this element.

Returns:

void

Sets the current Clip for an Element.

setContent

voidsetContent(Contentcontent)

Parameters

voidtranslate(doubletx, doublety)

Parameters

tx: double
ty: double

Returns:

void

Translate an element by (tx,ty) units using the matrix [ 1 0 0 1 tx ty ].
