Coordinates in iTextSharp in visible CropBox

Question

In iTextSharp:

Is pagesize.getTop(0) same as pagesize.Top? and similarly for other coordinates like pagesize.getLeft(0) and pagesize.Left?

See following code:

PdfReader PDFReader = new PdfReader("c:\\file.pdf");
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle PageSize = PDFReader.GetCropBox(1);
PageSize.Left;
PageSize.GetLeft(0);
PageSize.Top;
PageSize.GetTop(0);

Answer 1

Is pagesize.GetTop(0) same as pagesize.Top ? and similarly for other coordinates like pagesize.GetLeft(0) and pagesize.Left ?

Yes.

The methods GetTop(float) allows you to automatically have a margin value applied to the border, and for a margin of 0 you get the original border.

Answer 2

Looking into the source code, they are essentially the same. https://github.com/itext/itextsharp/blob/master/src/core/iTextSharp/text/Rectangle.cs#L451 https://github.com/itext/itextsharp/blob/master/src/core/iTextSharp/text/Rectangle.cs#L534
