Class GreekAlphabetFactory

java.lang.Object

com.itextpdf.text.factories.GreekAlphabetFactory

public class GreekAlphabetFactory
extends java.lang.Object

This class can produce String combinations representing a number built with Greek letters (from alpha to omega, then alpha alpha, alpha beta, alpha gamma). We are aware of the fact that the original Greek numbering is different; See http://www.cogsci.indiana.edu/farg/harry/lan/grknum.htm#ancient but this isn't implemented yet; the main reason being the fact that we need a font that has the obsolete Greek characters qoppa and sampi.

Since:

2.0.7 (was called GreekNumberFactory in earlier versions)
