![]() ![]() Collapse AllYou can manipulate primitives to clip pictures: 1. Create a path that will clip a future picture. Be sure that the path is closed. Delphi : PDF.DrawEllipse(50, 100, PDF.PageWidth - 50, PDF.PageHeight - 50); PDF.ClosePath; Visual Basic or Visual Basic Script : PDF.DrawEllipse 50, 100, PDF.PageWidth - 50, PDF.PageHeight - 50 PDF.ClosePath C/C++ : PDF->PDFPAGE_Ellipse(50, 100, PDF->PageWidth - 50, PDF->PageHeight - 50); PDF->ClosePath(); C# : PDF.PDFPAGE_Ellipse(50, 100, PDF.PageWidth - 50, PDF.PageHeight - 50); PDF.ClosePath(); 2. Set the current path as the clipping path. Delphi : PDF.Clip; Visual Basic or Visual Basic Script : PDF.Clip C/C++ : PDF->Clip(); C# : PDF.Clip(); 3. Draw other objects or pictures using a new path. Delphi : PDF.ResetPath;
PDF.SetColor(0, 0, 0.5 , 0);
PDF.DrawEllipse(0, 0, PDF.PageWidth, PDF.PageHeight); { Ellipse filled in page }
Visual Basic or Visual Basic Script : PDF.ResetPath PDF.SetColor 0, 0, 0.5 , 0 PDF.DrawEllipse 0, 0, PDF.PageWidth, PDF.PageHeight 'Ellipse filled in page C/C++ : PDF.ResetPath(); PDF.SetColor(0, 0, 0.5f, 0); PDF.DrawEllipse(0, 0, PDF->PageWidth, PDF.->PageHeight); // Ellipse filled in page C# : PDF.ResetPath(); PDF.SetColor(0, 0, 0.5f, 0); PDF.DrawEllipse(0, 0, PDF.PageWidth, PDF.PageHeight); // Ellipse filled in page 4. Stroke your picture and it will be clipped by the clipping path. Delphi : PDF.FillAndStroke; Visual Basic or Visual Basic Script : PDF.FillAndStroke C/C++ : PDF->FillAndStroke(); C# : PDF.FillAndStroke(); For more details see Clip, AlternateClip, ClosePath, ResetPath. Note: There no way to reset clipping path, use SaveGraphicsState and RestoreGraphicsState to save and restore graphical state and clipping region.
