PostScript Class

class PostScript : Element

Namespace:Datalogics::PDFL

Inherits from:: Element

Detailed Description

An XObject stream with the subtype PostScript.

A PostScript XObject is an XObject stream with the subtype entry of PostScript. The XObject contains a fragment of code expressed in the PostScript language.

PostScript External Objects are not recommended.

Uses types

Clip Element ElementCloneFlags Matrix PDFStream Rect

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PostScript(System.IO.Stream stream)

Parameters

stream: System.IO.Stream: System.IO.Stream stream that contains PostScript code

General constructor

Property Documentation

Rect BoundingBox[get]

The bounding box for this element.

The bounding box is a rectangle that is guaranteed to encompass the element, but it is not guaranteed to be the smallest box that could contain the element. For example, if the element is a Path that contains an arc, the bounding box encompasses the bezier control points, and not just the curve itself.

Clip Clip[get, set]

Gets the current Clip for an Element.

Matrix Matrix[get, set]

The transformation matrix for the element.

PDFStream Stream[get]

The PDFStream containing the PostScript code for this XObject.

Member Function Documentation

Element Clone()

Returns:

Element

The copied element.

Makes a copy of the element.

Make a copy of an element to obtain a new element that has a distinct set of attributes.

Note: TextRun objects may not be cloned.

Element Clone(ElementCloneFlags cloneFlags)

Parameters

cloneFlags: ElementCloneFlags: Flags that modify the cloning operation.

Returns:

Element

The copied element.

Makes a copy of the element.

Make a copy of an element to obtain a new element that has a distinct set of attributes.

Note: TextRun objects may not be cloned.

void Dispose()

Returns:

void

void Rotate(double theta)

Parameters

theta: double: The rotation angle in degrees.

Returns:

void

Rotate an element by theta degrees counterclockwise using the matrix [ cos T sin T -sin T cos T 0 0 ].

void Scale(double sx, double sy)

Parameters

sx: double: The horizontal scale factor.
sy: double: The vertical scale factor.

Returns:

void

Scale an element by (sx,sy) units using the matrix [ sx 0 0 sy 0 0 ].

void Translate(double tx, double ty)

Parameters

tx: double: The horizontal translation distance in user space units.
ty: double: The vertical translation distance in user space units.

Returns:

void

Translate an element by (tx,ty) units using the matrix [ 1 0 0 1 tx ty ].
