Methods

addPage

addTag

  • Adds the tag element to the document’s structure tree.

    Parameters

    • tag: IPdfTag

      Theelement to add to the document’s structure tree.

    Returns PdfDocument

    The PdfDocument object.

artifact

beginArtifact

beginTagContent

  • Begins marking the content with the given tag and returns the tag content element, an object which represent a reference to the marked content. The tag content element can be incorporated into the document's structure tree by adding to a tag element. Each call of beginTagContent() should be enclosed with endTagContent.

    For example:

    let content = doc.beginTagContent(wijmo.pdf.PdfTagType.P);
doc.drawText('Hello, world!');
doc.endTagContent();

let tag = doc.tag(wijmo.pdf.PdfTagType.P);
tag.add(content);
doc.addTag(tag);

    Note: Marking tag content will automatically end current marking of tag content (and any descendent marking).

    Parameters

    Returns IPdfTagContent

    The IPdfTagContent object that repesents a reference to the marked content.

bufferedPageRange

dispose

  • dispose(): void

  • Disposes the document.

    Returns void

drawImage

  • Draws an image in JPG or PNG format with the given options.

    If x and y are not defined, then x and y are used instead.

    Finally, if the image was drawn in the text flow, the method updates y. Hence, any subsequent text or image starts below this point.

    Parameters

    • src: string | IPdfImage

      A string containing the URL to get the image from, or the data URI containing a base64 encoded image, or a wijmo.pdf.IPdfImage object returned by the openImage method.

    • Optional x: number

      The x-coordinate of the point to draw the image at, in points.

    • Optional y: number

      The y-coordinate of the point to draw the image at, in points.

    • Optional options: IPdfImageDrawSettings

      Determines the image drawing options.

    Returns PdfPageArea

    The PdfPageArea object.

drawSvg

  • Draws a SVG image with the given options.

    If x and y are not defined, then x and y are used instead.

    The method uses the values of the width and height attributes of the outermost svg element to determine the scale factor according to the options.width and options.height properties. If any of these attributes are omitted then scaling is not performed and the image will be rendered in its original size.

    Finally, if the image was drawn in the text flow, the method updates y. Hence, any subsequent text or image starts below this point. The increment value is defined by the options.height property or by the outermost svg element's height attribute, which comes first. If none of them is provided then y will stay unchanged.

    The method supports a limited set of SVG features and provided primarily for rendering wijmo 5 chart controls.

    Parameters

    • url: string

      A string containing the URL to get the SVG image from or the data URI containing a base64 encoded SVG image.

    • Optional x: number

      The x-coordinate of the point to draw the image at, in points.

    • Optional y: number

      The y-coordinate of the point to draw the image at, in points.

    • Optional options: IPdfSvgDrawSettings

      Determines the SVG image drawing options.

    Returns PdfPageArea

    The PdfPageArea object.

drawText

  • Draws a string with the given options and returns the measurement information.

    If options.pen, options.brush or options.font are omitted, the current document's pen, brush or font are used (see PdfDocument.setPen, PdfDocument.setBrush, and PdfDocument.setFont).

    The string is drawn within the rectangular area for which top-left corner, width and height are defined by the x, y, options.width and options.height values. If x and y are not provided, the PdfDocument.x and PdfDocument.y properties are used instead.

    The text is wrapped and clipped automatically within the area. If options.height is not provided and the text exceeds the bottom body edge, then a new page will be added to accommodate the text.

    Finally, the method updates the value of the PdfDocument.x and PdfDocument.y properties. Hence, any subsequent text or image starts below this point (depending on the value of options.continued).

    The measurement result doesn't reflect the fact that text can be split into multiple pages or columns; the text is treated as a single block.

    Parameters

    • text: string

      The text to draw.

    • Optional x: number

      The X-coordinate of the point to draw the text at, in points.

    • Optional y: number

      The Y-coordinate of the point to draw the text at, in points.

    • Optional options: IPdfTextDrawSettings

      Determines the text drawing options.

    Returns IPdfTextMeasurementInfo

    A IPdfTextMeasurementInfo object determines the measurement information.

end

doc.drawText('Hello, world!');
doc.endTagContent();

    Returns PdfPageArea

    The PdfPageArea object.

lineHeight

  • lineHeight(font?: PdfFont): number

  • Gets the line height with a given font.

    If font is not specified, then font used in the current document is used.

    Parameters

    • Optional font: PdfFont

      Font to get the line height.

    Returns number

    The line height, in points.

measureText

  • Measures a text with the given font and text drawing options without rendering it.

    If font is not specified, then the font used in the current document is used.

    The method uses the same text rendering engine as drawText, so it is tied up in the same way to x and the right page margin, if options.width is not provided. The measurement result doesn't reflect the fact that text can be split into multiple pages or columns; the text is treated as a single block.

    Parameters

    Returns IPdfTextMeasurementInfo

    A IPdfTextMeasurementInfo object determines the measurement information.
