Chapter 4. Organizing content in tables > Changing the properties of a cell

4.2. Changing the properties of a cell

PdfPCell extends Rectangle, inheriting a plethora of methods to change the way borders are drawn and backgrounds are painted. We’ll discuss these methods later on. First, we’ll focus on the content of a PdfPCell.

Internally, PdfPCell content is kept inside a ColumnText object. The mechanics of a PdfPCell are easy to understand if you know how the ColumnText object works. If you skipped chapter 3 because you were eager to know more about tables, please return to section 3.3 before reading about adding cells in text or composite mode.
