Similarly to the situation with headers and footers it is not possible to create
advanced cell borders using page events in the RTF package.<br><br>
To overcome this the <a xmlns="" href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfCell.html">RtfCell</a>
class exists, which makes it possible to specify advanced borders. To do this
create a <a href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfBorderGroup.html">RtfBorderGroup</a>
and specify the style for that <a href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfBorderGroup.html">RtfBorderGroup</a>,
then apply it to the <a href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfCell.html">RtfCell</a>.
<pre xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="commandline">
// Create a simple RtfCell with a dotted border.
RtfCell cellDotted = new RtfCell("Dotted border");
cellDotted.setBorders(new RtfBorderGroup(Rectangle.BOX,
RtfBorder.BORDER_DOTTED, 1, new Color(0, 0, 0)));
</pre>
You can also create <a xmlns="" href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfCell.html">RtfCell</a>s
that have a border on only one side
<pre xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="commandline">
// Create a simple RtfCell that only has a border on the bottom side.
RtfCell bottomBorder = new RtfCell("Bottom border");
bottomBorder.setBorders(new RtfBorderGroup(Rectangle.BOTTOM,
RtfBorder.BORDER_SINGLE, 2, new Color(255, 0, 0)));
</pre>
or that have different borders on different sides of the <a xmlns="" href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfCell.html">RtfCell</a>.
<pre xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="commandline">
// Create a simple RtfCell that has different borders
// on the left and bottom sides.
RtfCell mixedBorder = new RtfCell("Mixed border");
RtfBorderGroup mixedBorders = new RtfBorderGroup();
mixedBorders.addBorder(Rectangle.RIGHT,
RtfBorder.BORDER_DOUBLE_WAVY, 2, Color.GREEN);
mixedBorders.addBorder(Rectangle.BOTTOM,
RtfBorder.BORDER_DOT_DASH, 1, Color.BLUE);
mixedBorder.setBorders(mixedBorders);
</pre>
Finally if you want a <a xmlns="" href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfCell.html">RtfCell</a>
without any borders simply set an empty <a href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfBorderGroup.html">RtfBorderGroup</a>.
<pre xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="commandline">
// Create a simple RtfCell with no border.
RtfCell cellNoBorder = new RtfCell("No border");
cellNoBorder.setBorders(new RtfBorderGroup());
</pre>
For a full list of the border styles that are available, please check the javadoc
for the <a xmlns="" href="http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/rtf/table/RtfBorder.html">RtfBorder</a> class.
