Overview

The base class for all layout boxes.

HexaPDF uses the following box model:

  • Each box can specify a width and height. Padding and border are inside, the margin outside of this rectangle.

  • The #content_width and #content_height accessors can be used to get the width and height of the content box without padding and the border.

  • If width or height is set to zero, they are determined automatically during layouting.

Constructor Details

#initialize(width: 0, height: 0, style: Style.new, &block) ⇒ Box

:call-seq:

Box.new(width: 0, height: 0, style: Style.new) {|canv, box| block} -> box

Creates a new Box object with the given width and height that uses the provided block when it is asked to draw itself on a canvas (see #draw).

Since the final location of the box is not known beforehand, the drawing operations inside the block should draw inside the rectangle (0, 0, content_width, content_height) - note that the width and height of the box may not be known beforehand.

Class Method Details

.create(width: 0, height: 0, content_box: false, **style, &block) ⇒ Object

Creates a new Box object, using the provided block as drawing block (see ::new). Any additional keyword arguments are used for creating the box’s Style object.

If content_box is true, the width and height are taken to mean the content width and height and the style’s padding and border are removed from them appropriately.

Instance Method Details

#content_height ⇒ Object

The height of the content box, i.e. without padding and/or borders.

def content_height
  height = @height - reserved_height
  height < 0 ? 0 : height
end

#content_width ⇒ Object

The width of the content box, i.e. without padding and/or borders.

def content_width
  width = @width - reserved_width
  width < 0 ? 0 : width
end

#draw(canvas, x, y) ⇒ Object

Draws the content of the box onto the canvas at the position (x, y).

The coordinate system is translated so that the origin is at the bottom left corner of the **content box** during the drawing operations.

The block specified when creating the box is invoked with the canvas and the box as arguments. Subclasses can specify an on-demand drawing method by setting the @draw_block instance variable to nil or a valid block. This is useful to avoid unnecessary set-up operations when the block does nothing.

def draw(canvas, x, y)
  if style.background_color? && style.background_color
    canvas.save_graphics_state do
      canvas.fill_color(style.background_color).rectangle(x, y, width, height).fill
    end
  end

  style.underlays.draw(canvas, x, y, self) if style.underlays?
  style.border.draw(canvas, x, y, width, height) if style.border?

  cx = x
  cy = y
  (cx += style.padding.left; cy += style.padding.bottom) if style.padding?
  (cx += style.border.width.left; cy += style.border.width.bottom) if style.border?
  draw_content(canvas, cx, cy)

  style.overlays.draw(canvas, x, y, self) if style.overlays?
end

#empty? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if no drawing operations are performed.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#fit(available_width, available_height, _frame) ⇒ Object

Fits the box into the Frame and returns true if fitting was successful.

The default implementation uses the whole available space for width and height if they were initially set to 0. Otherwise the specified dimensions are used.

def fit(available_width, available_height, _frame)
  @width = (@initial_width > 0 ? @initial_width : available_width)
  @height = (@initial_height > 0 ? @initial_height : available_height)
  @width <= available_width && @height <= available_height
end

#split(_available_width, _available_height, _frame) ⇒ Object

Tries to split the box into two, the first of which needs to fit into the available space, and returns the parts as array.

In many cases the first box in the list will be this box, meaning that even when #fit fails, a part of the box may still fit. Note that #fit may not be called if the first box is this box since it is assumed that it is already fitted. If not even a part of this box fits into the available space, nil should be returned as the first array element.

Possible return values:

[self]

The box fully fits into the available space.

[nil, self]

The box can’t be split or no part of the box fits into the available space.

[self, new_box]

A part of the box fits and a new box is returned for the rest.

This default implementation provides no splitting functionality.
