PDFSection

public class PDFSection : PDFDocumentObject

A multi-column section is a nested container.

Creating the section with an amount of columns and their relative width, add objects to each column and then add the whole section to the document.

When adding an object to the section column, you use the Array subscript section.columns[0]. You are able to give it an alignment as the first parameter, similar to the PDFContainer but only with .left, .center and .right as it is not possible to add a section to the header or footer containers.

Use enable(_:columns:widths:spacings:)for details on how to enable multi-columns with automatic text wrapping, allowing to split a page into multiple columns and fill it up starting at the left.

Example:

 let section = PDFSection(columnWidths: [0.3, 0.4, 0.3])
 section.columns[0].addText(.right, text: "right")
 section.columns[1].addText(.left, text: "left")
 section.columns[2].addText(.center, text: "center")
 document.add(section: section)

Attention:

Do not add a PDFSection multiple times to a PDFDocument, as they hold some internal state, which will lead to collisions and unpredictable framing calculations.
