Add Arc Object to PDF file

Add Arc object

Aspose.PDF for Java supports the feature to add graph objects (for example graph, line, rectangle etc.) to PDF documents. It also offers the feature to fill arc object with a certain color.

Follow the steps below:

1. Create Document instance

2. Create Drawing object with certain dimensions

3. Set Border for Drawing object

4. Add Graph object to paragraphs collection of page

5. Save our PDF file

The following code snippet shows how to add a Arc object.

    public static void ExampleArc() {
        // Create Document instance
        Document pdfDocument = new Document();
        // Add page to pages collection of PDF file
        Page page = pdfDocument.getPages().add();

        // Create Drawing object with certain dimensions
        Graph graph = new Graph(400, 400);
        // Set border for Drawing object
        BorderInfo borderInfo = new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, Color.getGreen());
        graph.setBorder(borderInfo);

        Arc arc1 = new Arc(100, 100, 95, 0, 90);
        arc1.getGraphInfo().setColor(Color.getGreenYellow());
        graph.getShapes().add(arc1);

        Arc arc2 = new Arc(100, 100, 90, 70, 180);
        arc2.getGraphInfo().setColor(Color.getDarkBlue());
        graph.getShapes().add(arc2);

        Arc arc3 = new Arc(100, 100, 85, 120, 210);
        arc3.getGraphInfo().setColor(Color.getRed());
        graph.getShapes().add(arc3);

        // Add Graph object to paragraphs collection of page
        page.getParagraphs().add(graph);

        // Save PDF file
        pdfDocument.save(_dataDir + "DrawingArc_out.pdf");

    }

Create Filled Arc Object

Next example shows how to add a Arc object that is filled with color and certain dimensions.

    public static void ExampleFilledArc() {
        // Create Document instance
        Document pdfDocument = new Document();
        // Add page to pages collection of PDF file
        Page page = pdfDocument.getPages().add();

        // Create Drawing object with certain dimensions
        Graph graph = new Graph(400, 400);
        // Set border for Drawing object
        BorderInfo borderInfo = new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, Color.getGreen());
        graph.setBorder(borderInfo);

        Arc arc = new Arc(100, 100, 95, 0, 90);
        arc.getGraphInfo().setFillColor(Color.getGreenYellow());
        graph.getShapes().add(arc);

        Line line = new Line(new float[] { 195, 100, 100, 100, 100, 195 });
        line.getGraphInfo().setFillColor(Color.getGreenYellow());
        graph.getShapes().add(line);

        // Add Graph object to paragraphs collection of page
        page.getParagraphs().add(graph);

        // Save PDF file
        pdfDocument.save(_dataDir + "DrawingArc_out.pdf");

    }

Let’s see the result of adding a filled Arс:
