How to calculate the height of an element?

Question

I am generating pdf files by XML data.

I calculate the height of a paragraph element as :

float paraWidth = 0.0f;
for (Object o : el.getChunks()) {
    p         


        

Answer 1

Firstly why you iterating over Chunk collection casted to Object ? If all elements of this collection are Chunk, use this:

for (Chunk c : el.getChunks()) {
    paraWidth += c.getWidthPoint();
}

What do you mean saying method does not works correctly ?
