    Example

    This example demonstrates how to add a watermark to a printing system document. The SetTextWatermark method demonstrates the properties that are used to specify settings when a text watermark is added to a document, while the SetPictureWatermark method demonstrates the properties required to set a picture as a document’s watermark.

    using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
    using DevExpress.XtraPrinting.Drawing;
    using DevExpress.Drawing;
    // ...
    
    public void SetTextWatermark(PrintingSystem ps){
       // Create the text watermark.
       Watermark textWatermark = new Watermark();
    
       // Set watermark options.
       textWatermark.Text = "CUSTOM WATERMARK TEXT";
       textWatermark.TextDirection = DirectionMode.ForwardDiagonal;
       textWatermark.Font = new DXFont(textWatermark.Font.FontFamily, 40);
       textWatermark.ForeColor = Color.DodgerBlue;
       textWatermark.TextTransparency = 150;
       textWatermark.TextPosition = WatermarkPosition.InFront;
       textWatermark.PageRange = "1,3-5";
    
       // Add the watermark to the collection.
       ps.Watermarks.Add(textWatermark);
    }
    
    public void SetPictureWatermark(PrintingSystem ps){
       // Create the picture watermark.
       Watermark pictureWatermark = new Watermark();
    
       // Set watermark options.
       pictureWatermark.Image = Bitmap.FromFile("watermark.gif");
       pictureWatermark.ImageAlignment = ImageAlignment.TopCenter;
       pictureWatermark.ImageTiling = false;
       pictureWatermark.ImageViewMode = ImageViewMode.Stretch;
       pictureWatermark.ImageTransparency = 150;
       pictureWatermark.ImagePosition = WatermarkPosition.Behind;
       pictureWatermark.PageRange = "2,4";
    
       // Add the watermark to the collection.
       ps.Watermarks.Add(pictureWatermark);
    }
