05 The class LineFrame
This is another simple frame type. It can be used to add various kinds of lines to a report. You can add horizontal or vertical lines to the report by adding such an object to a container frame.
$lf = new ReportLib\LineFrame('H', 0.5, "#00FF00", 120.0);
$body->addFrame($lf);
These are the parameters to the constructor.
- direction – horizontal or vertical (‘H’, ‘V’)
- extent – Extent of the line in millimeters
- color
- length – length in millimeters
A Pen object (see section 2.10.1) prints the line. Therefore, you can change the look of the line by changing the line attributes. You can use solid or dotted or dashed lines by setting a pen to the frame.
// Print a centered dotted line, extent 0.2mm and of blue color
$lf = new ReportLib\LineFrame('H');
$pen = new ReportLib\Pen(0.2, "#0000FF", 'dot');
$lf->setPen($pen);
$lf->setLength(50.0);
$lf->setHAlignment('C');
$body->addFrame($lf);
