PageCanvas.DrawRectangle(RichEditPenBase, Rectangle, DocumentLayoutUnit) Method

Draws a custom rectangle.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Layout

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

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

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.
