This sample shows some of the capabilities of the XGraphics class.

You'll find code snippets for the following graphical primitives:
  • Lines and curves
  • Shapes
  • Graphical paths
  • Text and fonts
  • Images and external PDF forms

Source Code


Main programm

This is the Main function. It creates a PDF document and adds some sample pages listed below.
static void Main()
{
  // Create a temporary file
  string filename = String.Format("{0}_tempfile.pdf", Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D").ToUpper());
  s_document = new PdfDocument();
  s_document.Info.Title = "PDFsharp XGraphic Sample";
  s_document.Info.Author = "Stefan Lange";
  s_document.Info.Subject = "Created with code snippets that show the use of graphical functions";
  s_document.Info.Keywords = "PDFsharp, XGraphics";
 
  // Create demonstration pages
  new LinesAndCurves().DrawPage(s_document.AddPage());
  new Shapes().DrawPage(s_document.AddPage());
  new Paths().DrawPage(s_document.AddPage());
  new Text().DrawPage(s_document.AddPage());
  new Images().DrawPage(s_document.AddPage());
 
  // Save the s_document...
  s_document.Save(filename);
  // ...and start a viewer
  Process.Start(filename);
