## Detailed Description

ElementBuilder is used to build new PDF::Elements (e.g. image, text, path, etc) from scratch. In conjunction with ElementWriter, ElementBuilder can be used to create new page content.

Note
  Analogous to ElementReader, every call to ElementBuilder.Create? method destroys the Element currently associated with the builder and all previous Element pointers are invalidated.
  For C++ developers. Analogous to ElementReader, ElementBuilder is the owner of all Element objects it creates.

  width | The width of the rectangle.
  height | The height of the rectangle.

void pdftron::PDF::ElementBuilder::Reset | ( | GState | gs = `0` | ) |

The function sets the graphics state of this Element to the given value. If 'gs' parameter is not specified or is NULL the function resets the graphics state of this Element to the default graphics state (i.e. the graphics state at the beginning of the display list).

The function can be used in situations where the same ElementBuilder is used to create content on several pages, XObjects, etc. If the graphics state is not Reset() when moving to a new display list, the new Element will have the same graphics state as the last Element in the previous display list (and this may or may not be your intent).

Another use of Reset(gs) is to make sure that two Elements have the graphics state.

Parameters

  gs | GState (graphics state) object. If NULL or unspecified, resets graphics state to default.
