public class Line
extends AbstractLineElement
implements java.lang.Cloneable

With the Line class you can draw a vertical or horizontal line anywhere in your report. You can draw a line in one section only or a line which spans multiple sections. A line differs from a border line in the report. You can place a line anywhere with any length, a border line is always attached to an element, i.e. to a FieldElement or a Text element. The line can span multiple sections, a border line cannot.
You can create a line using the methods Section.addHorizontalLine(int, int, int) and Section.addVerticalLine(int, int, int) in class Section. For vertical lines there are two methods, one adds a vertical line to one section, the other can add a line which spans multiple sections.
If you want to change the color of a line, use the method Element.setForeColor(int) inheritated from Element.

Please note: When the line is rendered, it is drawn from (x1, y1) (included) to (x2, y2) (excluded). This is different from the Java drawLine behavior, which draws both start point and end point of a line.

This class is part of the RDC.

Method Detail

isDropShadow

public boolean isDropShadow()

Lines do not support drop shadows.

Specified by:

isDropShadow in interface BorderProperties

Overrides:

isDropShadow in class Element

Returns:

always false

Since:

6.1

getDropShadowFormula

public FormulaField getDropShadowFormula()

Lines do not support drop shadows.

Specified by:

getDropShadowFormula in interface BorderProperties

Overrides:

getDropShadowFormula in class Element

Returns:

always null Element

Since:

6.1

setDropShadow

public void setDropShadow(boolean newValue)

Lines can not have drop shadows. So this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

setDropShadow in interface BorderProperties

Overrides:

setDropShadow in class Element

Parameters:

newValue - has no effect

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - will always be thrown

Since:

6.1

setDropShadowFormula

public void setDropShadowFormula(FormulaField newFormula)

Lines can not have drop shadows. So this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

setDropShadowFormula in interface BorderProperties

Overrides:

setDropShadowFormula in class Element

Parameters:

newFormula - has no effect

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - will always be thrown

Since:

6.1

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - always because it is not possible to set hyperlinks on lines

Since:

9.0

setHyperlinkUrlFormula

public void setHyperlinkUrlFormula(FormulaField newFormula)

Setting hyperlinks on lines is not possible and will throw an UnsupportedOperationException
