Method Detail

isHeightGrowable

public boolean isHeightGrowable()

Returns whether or not this container's height is growable. If true, then the container is considered growable between range of [minH, maxH] or [0, infinity] when not specified.

Returns:

true if this containers height can grow, false otherwise

isWidthGrowable

public boolean isWidthGrowable()

Returns whether or not this container's width is growable. If true then the container is considered growable between range of [minH, maxH] or [0, infinity] when not specified.

Returns:

true if this containers height can grow, false otherwise

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(Attribute attr,
                         int eTag)

Sets an attribute of this element. This method treats the w/h attributes and their min/max counterparts as mutually exclusive - setting w/h will remove any min/max and vice versa.

In addition, there are clear rules to resolve conflicts:

1. If h/w is specified, then the container is not growable and any min/max value is irrelevant.
2. Otherwise the container is considered growable. Any min/max attribute that are specified will indicate the range of growableness. The default range is [0, infinity].

In terms of setting min/max values, this method will guard against setting min > max.

Overrides:

setAttribute in class ProtoableNode

Parameters:

attr - the attribute.

eTag - The XFA tag name of the attribute being set.
