Method Detail

createNextLineArea

public LineArea createNextLineArea(boolean allowOverflow)
                            throws AreaWException

Creates a LineArea that logically follows the last child of this.

Parameters:

allowOverflow - Set to true if the returned LineArea can have a parent NormalBlockArea other than this. If set to true a LineArea should always be returned by this method, but may be on a different page or column, if there is not room for it in this. If set to false and there is not room in this, then null will be returned.

Returns:

The new LineArea, or null if allowOverflow is set to false and there is not room in this for the new LineArea.

Throws:

AreaWException - If there is an error creating the new LineArea. The implementation should ordinarily be able to create the new LineArea, so this usually indicates an internal error.
