Interface Position

All Superinterfaces:

Unit

All Known Subinterfaces:

Attachable, Cell, FreeCell, ReportBlock, ReportCell, SectionContainer

public interface Position
extends Unit

Warning: This interface is no longer functional from the SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 release onwards.

Specifies the position of a report element, relative to the ReportElementContainer it is in. For all values, the unity from Unit.getUnit() is used. For coordinates, the 0-point is at the top-left.

All positions are exactly as in Structure Mode in the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel (applet).

Note that the behaviour of these methods changes when attached to another report element, see Attachable for details.
