Declaration
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
pen | Pen | A Pen object that specifies the color, width, and style of the path. |
path | GraphicsPath | A GraphicsPath object in world coordinate system. |
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 (PdfDocumentProcessor processor = new PdfDocumentProcessor())
{
processor.CreateEmptyDocument();
PdfPage page = processor.AddNewPage(PdfPaperSize.A4);
using (PdfGraphics graphics = processor.CreateGraphics())
{
// Create a path.
GraphicsPath path = new GraphicsPath();
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 Pen(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");
