RenderToScale

NodeRendererBase.RenderToScale method

Renders the shape into a Graphics object to a specified scale.

public SizeF RenderToScale(Graphics graphics, float x, float y, float scale)

Parameter	Type	Description
graphics	Graphics	The object where to render to.
x	Single	The X coordinate (in world units) of the top left corner of the rendered shape.
y	Single	The Y coordinate (in world units) of the top left corner of the rendered shape.
scale	Single	The scale for rendering the shape (1.0 is 100%).

Return Value

The width and height (in world units) of the rendered shape.

Examples

Shows how to render a shape with a Graphics object and display it using a Windows Form.

public void RenderShapesOnForm()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    ShapeForm shapeForm = new ShapeForm(new Size(1017, 840));

    // Below are two ways to use the "ShapeRenderer" class to render a shape to a Graphics object.
    // 1 -  Create a shape with a chart, and render it to a specific scale.
    Chart chart = builder.InsertChart(ChartType.Pie, 500, 400).Chart;
    chart.Series.Clear();
    chart.Series.Add("Desktop Browser Market Share (Oct. 2020)",
        new[] { "Google Chrome", "Apple Safari", "Mozilla Firefox", "Microsoft Edge", "Other" },
        new[] { 70.33, 8.87, 7.69, 5.83, 7.28 });

    Shape chartShape = (Shape)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Shape, 0, true);

    shapeForm.AddShapeToRenderToScale(chartShape, 0, 0, 1.5f);

    // 2 -  Create a shape group, and render it to a specific size.
    GroupShape group = new GroupShape(doc);
    group.Bounds = new RectangleF(0, 0, 100, 100);
    group.CoordSize = new Size(500, 500);

    Shape subShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);
    subShape.Width = 500;
    subShape.Height = 500;
    subShape.Left = 0;
    subShape.Top = 0;
    subShape.FillColor = Color.RoyalBlue;
    group.AppendChild(subShape);

    subShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Image);
    subShape.Width = 450;

    subShape.Left = 25;
    subShape.Top = 25;
    subShape.ImageData.SetImage(ImageDir + "Logo.jpg");
    group.AppendChild(subShape);

    builder.InsertNode(group);
