RenderToSize

NodeRendererBase.RenderToSize method

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

public float RenderToSize(Graphics graphics, float x, float y, float width, float height)
ParameterTypeDescription
graphicsGraphicsThe object where to render to.
xSingleThe X coordinate (in world units) of the top left corner of the rendered shape.
ySingleThe Y coordinate (in world units) of the top left corner of the rendered shape.
widthSingleThe maximum width (in world units) that can be occupied by the rendered shape.
heightSingleThe maximum height (in world units) that can be occupied by the rendered shape.

Return Value

The scale that was automatically calculated for the rendered shape to fit the specified size.

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.Height = 450;
    subShape.Left = 25;
    subShape.Top = 25;
    subShape.ImageData.SetImage(ImageDir + "Logo.jpg");
    group.AppendChild(subShape);

    builder.InsertNode(group);

    GroupShape groupShape = (GroupShape)doc.GetChild(NodeType.GroupShape, 0, true);
    shapeForm.AddShapeToRenderToSize(groupShape, 880, 680, 100, 100);
