DynaPDFMBS.PageGraphics as Graphics
Function:
The page graphics object.
Example:

Supports the following graphics commands:
Some notes:
StyledTextPrinter is not supported, but you can do similar things via WriteStyledText or WriteStyledTextEx methods in DynaPDFMBS class.
If no page is open, call this may append a new page. If no document is open, we call CreateNewPDF for you with nil folderitem, so an in memory PDF get's created.
Seems like reports on Windows may not work for v19.2 of our plugins. This is fixed for 19.3.

Example:
Dim pdf As New DynapdfMBS
// please subclass DynapdfMBS to implement error event
Dim f As FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("DynaPDF Graphics.pdf")
'pdf.SetLicenseKey "Starter"
// For this example you can use a Starter, Lite, Pro or Enterprise License
// Create new PDF. Use f = nil for in-memory PDF
Call pdf.CreateNewPDF(f)
// append a new page, so we have an open page
Call pdf.Append
// get graphics object to draw on the page
Dim g As Graphics = pdf.PageGraphics
// draw as usual
g.DrawString "Hello World", 105, 100
g.DrawRect 100, 80, 100, 100
// close page and file
Call pdf.EndPage
Call pdf.CloseFile
// for in-memory PDF, use GetBuffer here to grab it.
'Dim PDFData As String = pdf.GetBuffer
We create a temporary picture and subclass the graphics to reproduce all drawing commands called on this graphics object to the current PDF Page.
For every drawing command, we apply the following properties from graphics object to DynaPDF:
- ForeColor
- Bold
- Italic
- Underline
- TextUnit
- TextFont
- TextSize
- ScaleX
- ScaleY
- PenHeight
- PenWidth
- CharacterSpacing
Supports the following graphics commands:

- DrawString
- StringHeight and StringWidth
- DrawPicture
- NextPage
- Get/Set Pixel.
- Clip
- Supports vector graphics classes (Object2D)
- Supports report engine
Some notes:
- Handle() function returns handle for picture.
- Pixel reads from temporary picture
- ClearRect draws white rectangle
- DrawCautionIcon, DrawNoteIcon and DrawStopIcon are not supported.
- NextPage method calls NextPage event. If missing, we end page and create a new one. In the event, please call EndPage and maybe Append or import an existing PDF page from import PDF.
- If CMYK, Gray or Lab colorspace is set, the plugin will keep them for white/black colors, but switch to RGB for all other colors.
StyledTextPrinter is not supported, but you can do similar things via WriteStyledText or WriteStyledTextEx methods in DynaPDFMBS class.
If no page is open, call this may append a new page. If no document is open, we call CreateNewPDF for you with nil folderitem, so an in memory PDF get's created.
