Fields
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
Width / Height | Size the element wants under the supplied constraints |
MinimumWidth / MinimumHeight | Smallest size the element considers acceptable; negative measurements raise a range error in MeasureLayoutElement |
CanSplit | Whether the element can split into a placed part and an overflow part across pages |
Fits | Computed by THotPDF.MeasureLayoutElement: true when width and height fit within the available space |
Usage notes
- Obtain it from
THotPDF.MeasureLayoutElement, which forwards the constraints to the element'sMeasureoverride and then stampsFits - Feed
FitsandCanSplitinto placement decisions: an element that does not fit but can split is placed partially byPlaceLayoutElement, one that cannot split moves to the next page - The returned extents describe desired size, not the final draw rectangle; placement may shrink the drawn area within the measurement
