Support of Rectangle in Table Column

[Vikram Tambe]

I have a requirement where I want to draw rectangle in each column of rows.

e.g. I want to show the estimates and actual hours worked using filled rectangle color (RGB) for each row. In iText this can be achieved using PdfTemplate (rectangle, setRGBColorFill, setRGBColorStroke methods).

Do you have an example how it should look like in the end? Generally speaking I would say it's possible, but I don't yet fully understand your requirement.

I would like to draw rectangles (RGB) color for each column in a table. e.g. I am displaying dates as headers (weekends are merged into single column.) I want to represent User capacity (Actual, unused, over allocated and off ) of each day using Rectangles ( different colors for each rectangle). In short I should able to draw min 1 and max 4 rectangles in a given column. As of now I do see only ImageCell and TextCell. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Yes, something like this should be doable by creating a custom cell type and/or a custom drawer. Maybe start by checking the samples in the test folder. If I find some time I might also look into this, because I find that an interesting idea for showing what one can easily do with small customizations ... ;)

I looked in test folder but did not find better solution which I am looking for. I know we need to create custom cell type which will allow to draw multiple rectangles in a single column. As I said earlier, In iText this can be achieved using PdfTemplate (rectangle, setRGBColorFill, setRGBColorStroke methods).

Hey @vikramtambe,

have a look at this gist: https://gist.github.com/vandeseer/5023d55b67c455596b2703e4a65df2d9

It does pretty much what you are looking for, I think. Of course it still needs some adaptions, but it should be fairly simple to continue from there.

Best,
Stefan

In response to your comment on the gist file @vikramtambe: I really don't know what the issue is here. It works perfectly fine for me with a fresh setup. So this doesn't seem to be related to easytable. Maybe you can share your complete code and/or ask e.g. on stackoverflow?

[Vikram Tambe]

@vandeseer - Looks like the build issues. I am getting lots of compilation errors when just forked the repository. I would really appreciate if you could help me the resolve these so that I can add few more customization's.

[vandeseer]

Does it build with maven on the console? I guess you need to install the Lombok plugin for Eclipse.

Thanks @vandeseer . I am able to resolve the issues after installing Lombok plugin.
