PageCanvas.DrawRectangle(RichEditPenBase, Rectangle, DocumentLayoutUnit) Method

Draws a custom rectangle.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Layout

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

C#

public void DrawRectangle(
    RichEditPenBase pen,
    Rectangle bounds,
    DocumentLayoutUnit unit
)

VB.NET

Public Sub DrawRectangle(
    pen As RichEditPenBase,
    bounds As Rectangle,
    unit As DocumentLayoutUnit
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
pen	RichEditPenBase	The RichEditPenBase descendant that sets the border color and thickness.
bounds	Rectangle	Sets the rectangle’s location and size.
unit	DocumentLayoutUnit	Specifies measurement units for shape parameters.

Remarks

To set the line style, use the RichEditPenBase.DashStyle method.

When you print or export documents, document objects may appear differently from the way they look on screen. To make them look the same in both outputs, set the DocumentLayoutUnit parameter to the same DocumentLayoutUnit value as the one specified for the document layout.

Note

Using this parameter is effective only if the drawn shape has coordinates and parameters represented by absolute values – coordinates represented by relative values already have the same measurement unit as the whole document layout.
