Add Grid using Visual Brush

Aspose.Page for Java offers XpsVisualBrush Class, with which you can add a grid on XPS document. You need to specify XpsPathGeometry and add XpsCanvas to the object of XpsDocument class. Following code snippet shows complete functionality to add a grid on an XPS document:

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-page/Aspose.Page-for-Java
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir();

// Create new XPS Document
XpsDocument doc = new XpsDocument();

// Canvas for magenta grid VisualBrush
XpsCanvas visualCanvas = doc.createCanvas();
XpsPath visualPath = visualCanvas.addPath(
                doc.createPathGeometry("M 0,4 L 4,4 4,0 6,0 6,4 10,4 10,6 6,6 6,10 4,10 4,6 0,6 Z"));
visualPath.setFill(doc.createSolidColorBrush(doc.createColor(1f, .61f, 0.1f, 0.61f)));

// Geometry for magenta grid VisualBrush
XpsPathGeometry pathGeometry = doc.createPathGeometry();
pathGeometry.addSegment(doc.createPolyLineSegment(
                new Point2D.Float[] { new Point2D.Float(240f, 5f), new Point2D.Float(240f, 310f), new Point2D.Float(0f, 310f) }));
pathGeometry.getFigure(0).setStartPoint(new Point2D.Float(0f, 5f));

// Path for magenta grid
XpsPath gridPath = doc.createPath(pathGeometry);
gridPath.setFill(doc.createVisualBrush(visualCanvas,
                new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, 10f, 10f), new Rectangle2D.Float(0f, 0f, 10f, 10f)));
((XpsVisualBrush)gridPath.getFill()).setTileMode(XpsTileMode.Tile);

// New canvas
XpsCanvas canvas = doc.addCanvas();
canvas.setRenderTransform(doc.createMatrix(1f, 0f, 0f, 1f, 268f, 70f));
// Add grid
canvas.addPath(gridPath);
// Red transparent rectangle in the middle top
XpsPath path = canvas.addPath(doc.createPathGeometry("M 10,10 L 228,10 228,100 10,100"));
path.setFill(doc.createSolidColorBrush(doc.createColor(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)));
path.setOpacity(0.7f);
// Save resultant XPS document
doc.save(dataDir + "AddGrid_out.xps");
