Class GreekAlphabetFactory

java.lang.Object
com.lowagie.text.factories.GreekAlphabetFactory
public class GreekAlphabetFactory extends 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)
