public class Shading 
extends InternableComplexAttr

Contains shading attributes for an object.

Example:

Shows how to apply borders and shading to a paragraph.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Set paragraph borders
BorderCollection borders = builder.getParagraphFormat().getBorders();
borders.setDistanceFromText(20.0);
borders.getByBorderType(BorderType.LEFT).setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOUBLE);
borders.getByBorderType(BorderType.RIGHT).setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOUBLE);
borders.getByBorderType(BorderType.TOP).setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOUBLE);
borders.getByBorderType(BorderType.BOTTOM).setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOUBLE);

// Set paragraph shading
Shading shading = builder.getParagraphFormat().getShading();
shading.setTexture(TextureIndex.TEXTURE_DIAGONAL_CROSS);
shading.setBackgroundPatternColor(new Color(240, 128, 128));  // Light Coral
shading.setForegroundPatternColor(new Color(255, 160, 122));  // Light Salmon

builder.write("This paragraph is formatted with a double border and shading.");
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentBuilder.DocumentBuilderApplyBordersAndShading.docx");

Example:

Shows how to format table and cell with different borders and shadings.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Start a table and set a default color/thickness for its borders
Table table = builder.startTable();
table.setBorders(LineStyle.SINGLE, 2.0, Color.BLACK);

// Set the cell shading for this cell
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.RED);
builder.writeln("Cell #1");

// Specify a different cell shading for the second cell
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.GREEN);
builder.writeln("Cell #2");

// End this row
builder.endRow();

// Clear the cell formatting from previous operations
builder.getCellFormat().clearFormatting();

// Create the second row
builder.insertCell();
builder.writeln("Cell #3");

// Clear the cell formatting from the previous cell
builder.getCellFormat().clearFormatting();

builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getLeft().setLineWidth(4.0);
builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getRight().setLineWidth(4.0);
builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getTop().setLineWidth(4.0);
builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setLineWidth(4.0);

builder.insertCell();
builder.writeln("Cell #4");

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentBuilder.TableBordersAndShading.docx");

Method Detail

clearFormatting

public void clearFormatting()
Removes shading from the object.

Example:

Shows how to build a nice bordered table.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Start building a table
builder.startTable();

// Set the appropriate paragraph, cell, and row formatting. The formatting properties are preserved
// until they are explicitly modified so there's no need to set them for each row or cell
builder.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);

builder.getCellFormat().clearFormatting();
builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(150.0);
builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalAlignment(CellVerticalAlignment.CENTER);
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.GREEN);
builder.getCellFormat().setWrapText(false);
builder.getCellFormat().setFitText(true);

builder.getRowFormat().clearFormatting();

builder.getRowFormat().setHeight(50.0);
builder.getRowFormat().getBorders().setLineStyle(LineStyle.ENGRAVE_3_D);
builder.getRowFormat().getBorders().setColor(Color.ORANGE);

builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, Col 1");

builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, Col 2");

builder.endRow();

// Remove the shading (clear background)
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().clearFormatting();

builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 2, Col 1");

builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 2, Col 2");

builder.endRow();

builder.insertCell();

// Make the row height bigger so that a vertically oriented text could fit into cells
builder.getRowFormat().setHeight(150.0);
builder.getCellFormat().setOrientation(TextOrientation.UPWARD);
builder.write("Row 3, Col 1");

builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setOrientation(TextOrientation.DOWNWARD);
builder.write("Row 3, Col 2");

builder.endRow();

builder.endTable();

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentBuilder.InsertTable.docx");

equals

public boolean equals(Shading rhs)
Determines whether the specified Shading is equal in value to the current Shading.

equals
