Class BorderCollection

java.lang.Object
- com.aspose.words.BorderCollection

All Implemented Interfaces:: java.lang.Iterable

public class BorderCollection extends java.lang.Object

A collection of Border objects.

Different document elements have different borders. For example, ParagraphFormat has Bottom, Left, Right and Top borders. You can specify different formatting for each border independently or enumerate through all borders and apply same formatting.

Example:

Inserts a paragraph with a top border.

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();

Border topBorder = builder.getParagraphFormat().getBorders().getByBorderType(BorderType.TOP);
topBorder.setColor(Color.RED);
topBorder.setLineStyle(LineStyle.DASH_SMALL_GAP);
topBorder.setLineWidth(4);

builder.writeln("Hello World!");
