PdfGraphics.TranslateTransform(Single, Single) Method

Translates the coordinate system origin to the specified point.

Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf

Assembly: DevExpress.Pdf.v21.1.Drawing.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Pdf.Drawing

Declaration

C#

public void TranslateTransform(
    float x,
    float y
)

VB.NET

Public Sub TranslateTransform(
    x As Single,
    y As Single
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
x	Single	The x-coordinate of the translation.
y	Single	The y-coordinate of the translation.

Remarks

This method multiplies the transformation matrix of the PdfGraphics object by a translation matrix. The translation matrix includes the x and y parameters.

The code sample below translates the coordinate system origin and draws shapes in the initial and translated coordinate systems.

C#

using DevExpress.Pdf;
using System.Drawing;
//...

using (PdfDocumentProcessor processor = new PdfDocumentProcessor())
{
    processor.CreateEmptyDocument();
    PdfPage page = processor.AddNewPage(PdfPaperSize.A4);
        using (PdfGraphics graphics = processor.CreateGraphics())
        {
            var rectangle = new RectangleF(0, 0, 300, 300);

            // Draw a green square.
            using (var brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Green))
                graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rectangle);

            // Translate the coordinate system.
            graphics.TranslateTransform(200, 400);

            // Draw a blue square in the translated coordinate system.
            using (var brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Blue))
                graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rectangle);

            // Add graphics content to the document page.
            graphics.AddToPageForeground(page, 72, 72);
        }
    processor.SaveDocument("out2.pdf");
}
Process.Start("out.pdf");
