PolygonAnnotation Class
Defines a PDF polygon annotation.
Declaration
public class PolygonAnnotation extends PathAnnotation
Remarks
The following code snippet draws a polygon annotation:

package pdf;
import com.devexpress.docs.*;
import com.devexpress.docs.pdf.*;
import com.devexpress.system.drawing.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.util.List;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
try (FileChannel fileChannel = FileChannel.open(Path.of("Office-Floor-Plan.pdf"));
PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(fileChannel)) {
Page page = pdfDocument.getPages().getFirst();
createPolygonAnnotation(page);
try (WritableByteChannel channel =
FileChannel.open(Path.of("Result.pdf"),
StandardOpenOption.CREATE,
StandardOpenOption.WRITE,
StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING)) {
pdfDocument.save(channel);
}
}
}
static void createPolygonAnnotation(Page page) {
List<PointF> vertices = List.of(
new PointF(120, 450),
new PointF(520, 450),
new PointF(520, 300),
new PointF(400, 300),
new PointF(400, 370),
new PointF(120, 370));
PolygonAnnotation annotation = new PolygonAnnotation(vertices);
annotation.setTitle("Reviewer");
annotation.setContent("Review this area.");
annotation.setColor(PdfColor.getOrange());
page.getAnnotations().add(annotation);
}
}
