Package com.lowagie.text

Class Row

java.lang.Object
com.lowagie.text.Row
All Implemented Interfaces:
WithHorizontalAlignment, Element
public class Row extends Object implements Element, WithHorizontalAlignment
A Row is part of a Table and contains some Cells.

All Rows are constructed by a Table-object. You don't have to construct any Row yourself. In fact you can't construct a Row outside the package.

Since a Cell can span several rows and/or columns a row can contain reserved space without any content.
