Introduction
You can create cool visual effects using the flow layout API provided by Apitron PDF Kit. One of such effects is the support border-radius property offered by content elements. This property can be used to create round-rect borders for text, images and even annotation objects.
Code sample
staticvoid Main(string[] args)
{
// create document and its resource manager
ResourceManager manager = newResourceManager();
FlowDocument doc = newFlowDocument(){Margin = newThickness(10)};
// add new text block with roudn-rect border
doc.Add(newTextBlock("The text with round-rect border")
{
BorderRadius = 5,
Border = newBorder(10),
BorderColor = RgbColors.Red,
Padding = newThickness(5)
});
// save file
using (Stream stream = File.Create("round-rect.pdf"))
{
doc.Write(stream, manager);
}
}
Resulting image is shown below:
