NuGet Package: DevExpress.Pdf.Drawing
#Declaration
public void DrawPath(
DXPen pen,
DXGraphicsPath path
)
#Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
pen | DXPen | A DXPen object that specifies the color, width, and style of the path. |
path | DXGraphics |
A DXGraphics |
#Remarks
A path is a series of connected lines, curves, and geometric shape primitives. The DrawPath
method allows you to draw paths that specify outlines of open and closed figures.
The current transformation matrix of the PdfGraphics object applies to the GraphicsPath
object before the DrawPath
method draws this path.
To draw a shape on the PDF page, use one of the following methods:
- PdfGraphics.AddToPageForeground, PdfGraphics.AddToPageBackground
- These methods allow you to draw content on an existing page.
- PdfDocumentProcessor.RenderNewPage
- Draws content on a new page.
The code sample below draws the specified path on a page.
using DevExpress.Pdf;
using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.Drawing;
//...
using (PdfDocumentProcessor processor = new PdfDocumentProcessor())
{
processor.CreateEmptyDocument();
PdfPage page = processor.AddNewPage(PdfPaperSize.A4);
using (PdfGraphics graphics = processor.CreateGraphics())
{
// Create a path.
DXGraphicsPath path = new DXGraphicsPath();
PointF[] points = new PointF[]
{
new PointF(150, 150),
new PointF(70, 100),
new PointF(100, 300),
new PointF(300, 400),
new PointF(400, 700)
};
path.AddClosedCurve(points);
// Draw a path.
using (var pen = new DXPen(Color.Red, 5))
graphics.DrawPath(pen, path);
// Add graphics content to the document page.
graphics.AddToPageForeground(page, 72, 72);
}
processor.SaveDocument("out2.pdf");
}
Process.Start("out.pdf");
