SectionStart

Inheritance: java.lang.Object

public class SectionStart

The type of break at the beginning of the section.

Examples:

Shows how to construct an Aspose.Words document by hand.

 Document doc = new Document();

 // A blank document contains one section, one body and one paragraph.
 // Call the "RemoveAllChildren" method to remove all those nodes,
 // and end up with a document node with no children.
 doc.removeAllChildren();

 // This document now has no composite child nodes that we can add content to.
 // If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
 // First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.
 Section section = new Section(doc);
 doc.appendChild(section);

 // Set some page setup properties for the section.
 section.getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE);
 section.getPageSetup().setPaperSize(PaperSize.LETTER);

 // A section needs a body, which will contain and display all its contents
 // on the page between the section's header and footer.
 Body body = new Body(doc);
 section.appendChild(body);

 // Create a paragraph, set some formatting properties, and then append it as a child to the body.
 Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);

 para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
 para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);

 body.appendChild(para);

 // Finally, add some content to do the document. Create a run,
 // set its appearance and contents, and then append it as a child to the paragraph.
 Run run = new Run(doc);
 run.setText("Hello World!");
 run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED);
 para.appendChild(run);

 Assert.assertEquals("Hello World!", doc.getText().trim());

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Section.CreateManually.docx");
 

Shows how to specify how a new section separates itself from the previous.

 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.writeln("This text is in section 1.");

 // Section break types determine how a new section separates itself from the previous section.
 // Below are five types of section breaks.
 // 1 -  Starts the next section on a new page:
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_NEW_PAGE);
 builder.writeln("This text is in section 2.");

 Assert.assertEquals(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE, doc.getSections().get(1).getPageSetup().getSectionStart());

 // 2 -  Starts the next section on the current page:
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_CONTINUOUS);
 builder.writeln("This text is in section 3.");

 Assert.assertEquals(SectionStart.CONTINUOUS, doc.getSections().get(2).getPageSetup().getSectionStart());

 // 3 -  Starts the next section on a new even page:
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_EVEN_PAGE);
 builder.writeln("This text is in section 4.");

 Assert.assertEquals(SectionStart.EVEN_PAGE, doc.getSections().get(3).getPageSetup().getSectionStart());

 // 4 -  Starts the next section on a new odd page:
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_ODD_PAGE);
 builder.writeln("This text is in section 5.");

 Assert.assertEquals(SectionStart.ODD_PAGE, doc.getSections().get(4).getPageSetup().getSectionStart());

 // 5 -  Starts the next section on a new column:
 TextColumnCollection columns = builder.getPageSetup().getTextColumns();
 columns.setCount(2);

 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_NEW_COLUMN);
 builder.writeln("This text is in section 6.");

 Assert.assertEquals(SectionStart.NEW_COLUMN, doc.getSections().get(5).getPageSetup().getSectionStart());

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PageSetup.SetSectionStart.docx");
