Work with XPS Documents in Qt | C++
Aspose.Page for C++ can be used for creating cross-platform applications to create, read, and convert XPS files to other formats using Qt. Qt applications can target a variety of desktop, mobile, web, and embedded system applications. This article shows how to integrate our C++ Page library to work with XPS files in Qt applications.
Using Aspose.Page for C++ within Qt
To use Aspose.Page for C++ in your Qt application, download the latest version of the API from the downloads section (for Windows Operating System). The API can be used with Qt using two options:
- With Qt Creator
- With Visual Studio
In this article, we show to integrate and use Aspose.Page for C++ within a Qt console application using Qt Creator.
Create Qt Console Application
This article assumes that you have properly installed Qt development environment and Qt Creator.
- Open Qt Creator and create a new Qt Console Application.
- Select the QMake option from the Build System dropdown.
- Select the appropriate kit and finish the wizard.
At this point, you should have a workable executing Qt Console Application that should compile without issues.
Integrate Aspose.Page for C++ API with Qt
- Extract the Aspose.Page for C++ archive that you have downloaded earlier
- Copy Aspose.Page.Cpp and CodePorting.Native.Cs2Cpp_vc14_20.4 folders from the extracted package of Aspose.Page for C++ into the root of the project. Your project should like as shown in the following image.
- In order to add paths to lib and include folders, right-click on the project in LHS panel and select Add Library.
- Select the External Library option and browse paths to include and lib folders one by one.
- Once done, your .pro project file will contain the following entries:
- Build the application and you are done with the integration.
Create XPS Document in Qt
Now that Aspose.Page for C++ has been integrated with Qt, we are ready to create an XPS document with some text and save it to disc. To do this:
- Insert the following code in main function to generate an XPS document and save to disc
1 QString text = "Hello World";
2
3// Create new XPS Document
4
5auto doc = System::MakeObject<XpsDocument>();
6
7//Create a brush
8
9System::SharedPtr<XpsSolidColorBrush> textFill = doc->CreateSolidColorBrush(System::Drawing::Color::get_Black());
10
11//Add glyph to the document
12
13System::SharedPtr<XpsGlyphs> glyphs = doc->AddGlyphs(u"Arial", 12.0f, System::Drawing::FontStyle::Regular, 300.f, 450.f, text.toStdU16String().c_str());
14
15glyphs->set_Fill(textFill);
16
17// Save resultant XPS document
18
19doc->Save(outDir() + u"AddText_out.xps");
