Detailed Description

Element is the abstract interface used to access graphical elements used to build the display list.

Just like many other classes in PDFNet (e.g. ColorSpace, Font, Annot, etc), Element class follows the composite design pattern. This means that all Elements are accessed through the same interface, but depending on the Element type (that can be obtained using GetType()), only methods related to that type can be called. For example, if GetType() returns e_image, it is illegal to call a method specific to another Element type (i.e. a call to a text specific GetTextData() will throw an Exception).

◆ GetBBox() [1/2]

Rect pdftron::PDF::Element::GetBBox ( )

Obtains the bounding box for a graphical element.

Calculates the bounding box for a graphical element (i.e. an Element that belongs to one of following types: e_path, e_text, e_image, e_inline_image, e_shading e_form). The returned bounding box is guaranteed to encompass the Element, but is not guaranteed to be the smallest box that could contain the element. For example, for Bezier curves the bounding box will enclose all control points, not just the curve itself.

Returns: true if this is a graphical element and the bounding box can be calculated; false for non-graphical elements which don't have bounding box.

Parameters

out_bbox (Filled by the method) A reference to a rectangle specifying the bounding box of Element (a rectangle that surrounds the entire element). The coordinates are represented in the default PDF page coordinate system and are using units called points ( 1 point = 1/72 inch = 2.54 /72 centimeter). The bounding box already accounts for the effects of current transformation matrix (CTM), text matrix, font size, and other properties in the graphics state. If this is a non-graphical element (i.e. the method returns false) the bounding box is undefined.

◆ GetBBox() [2/2]

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::GetBBox ( Rect & out_bbox )

◆ GetBitsPerComponent()

int pdftron::PDF::Element::GetBitsPerComponent ( ) const

Returns: the number of bits used to represent each color component. Only a single value may be specified; the number of bits is the same for all color components. Valid values are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

◆ GetCharIterator()

CharIterator pdftron::PDF::Element::GetCharIterator ( )

Returns: a CharIterator addressing the first CharData element in the text run.

CharIterator points to CharData. CharData is a data structure that contains the char_code number (used to retrieve glyph outlines, to map to Unicode, etc.), character positioning information (x, y), and the number of bytes taken by the character within the text buffer.

Note: CharIterator follows the standard STL forward-iterator interface.

An example of how to use CharIterator.

for (CharIterator itr = element.GetCharIterator(); itr.HasNext(); itr.Next()) {
        unsigned int char_code = itr.Current().char_code;
        double char_pos_x = itr.Current().x;
        double char_pos_y = itr.Current().y;
}

Note: Character positioning information (x, y) is represented in text space. In order to get the positioning in the user space, the returned value should be scaled using the text matrix (GetTextMatrix()) and the current transformation matrix (GetCTM()). See section 4.2 'Other Coordinate Spaces' in PDF Reference Manual for details and PDFNet FAQ - "How do I get absolute/relative text and character positioning?".; within a text run a character may occupy more than a single byte (e.g. in case of composite/Type0 fonts). The role of CharIterator/CharData is to provide a uniform and easy to use interface to access character information.

◆ GetComponentNum()

int pdftron::PDF::Element::GetComponentNum ( ) const

Returns: the number of color components per sample.

◆ GetCTM()

Common::Matrix2D pdftron::PDF::Element::GetCTM ( )

Returns: Current Transformation Matrix (CTM) that maps coordinates to the initial user space.

◆ GetDecodeArray()

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Element::GetDecodeArray ( ) const

Returns: Decode array or NULL if the parameter is not specified. A decode object is an array of numbers describing how to map image samples into the range of values appropriate for the color space of the image. If ImageMask is true, the array must be either [0 1] or [1 0]; otherwise, its length must be twice the number of color components required by ColorSpace. Default value depends on the color space, See Table 4.36 in PDF Ref. Manual.

◆ GetGState()

GState pdftron::PDF::Element::GetGState ( )

Returns: GState of this Element

◆ GetImageColorSpace()

ColorSpace pdftron::PDF::Element::GetImageColorSpace ( ) const

Convert PDF image to GDI+ Bitmap.

Returns: GDI+ bitmap from this image. PDFNet creates a GDI+ bitmap that closely matches the original image in terms of the image depth and the number of color channels. PDF color spaces that do not have a counterpart in GDI+ are converted to RGB.

Note: This method is available only on Windows platforms.

Returns: The SDF object representing the color space in which image are specified or NULL if the image is an image mask

The returned color space may be any type of color space except Pattern.

◆ GetImageData()

Filters::Filter pdftron::PDF::Element::GetImageData ( ) const

Returns: A stream (filter) containing decoded image data

◆ GetImageDataSize()

int pdftron::PDF::Element::GetImageDataSize ( ) const

Returns: the size of image data in bytes

◆ GetImageHeight()

int pdftron::PDF::Element::GetImageHeight ( ) const

Returns: the height of the image, in samples.

◆ GetImageRenderingIntent()

GState::RenderingIntent pdftron::PDF::Element::GetImageRenderingIntent ( ) const

Returns: The color rendering intent to be used in rendering the image.

◆ GetImageWidth()

int pdftron::PDF::Element::GetImageWidth ( ) const

Returns: the width of the image, in samples.

◆ GetMask()

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Element::GetMask ( ) const

Returns: an image XObject defining an image mask to be applied to this image (See 'Explicit Masking', 4.8.5), or an array specifying a range of colors to be applied to it as a color key mask (See 'Color Key Masking').

If IsImageMask() return true, this method will return NULL.

◆ GetMCPropertyDict()

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Element::GetMCPropertyDict ( )

Returns: a dictionary containing the property list or NULL if property dictionary is not present.

Note: the function automatically looks under Properties sub-dictionary of the current resource dictionary if the dictionary is not in-line. Therefore you can assume that returned Obj is dictionary if it is not NULL.

◆ GetMCTag()

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Element::GetMCTag ( )

Returns: a tag is a name object indicating the role or significance of the marked content point/sequence.

◆ GetNewTextLineOffset() [1/2]

Point pdftron::PDF::Element::GetNewTextLineOffset ( )

Returns the offset (out_x, out_y) to the start of the current line relative to the beginning of the previous line.

out_x and out_y are numbers expressed in unscaled text space units. The returned numbers correspond to the arguments of 'Td' operator.

◆ GetNewTextLineOffset() [2/2]

void pdftron::PDF::Element::GetNewTextLineOffset	(	double &	out_x,
		double &	out_y )

◆ GetParentStructElement()

Struct::SElement pdftron::PDF::Element::GetParentStructElement ( )

Returns: Parent logical structure element (such as 'span' or 'paragraph'). If the Element is not associated with any structure element, the returned SElement will not be valid (i.e. selem.IsValid() -> false).

◆ GetPathData()

PathData pdftron::PDF::Element::GetPathData ( ) const

Returns the PathData stored by the path element.

Returns: The PathData which contains the operators and corresponding point data.

◆ GetPosAdjustment()

double pdftron::PDF::Element::GetPosAdjustment ( )

Returns: The number used to adjust text matrix in horizontal direction when drawing text. The number is expressed in thousandths of a unit of text space. The returned number corresponds to a number value within TJ array. For 'Tj' text strings the returned value is always 0.

Note: because CharIterator positioning information already accounts for TJ adjustments this method is rarely used.

◆ GetShading()

Shading pdftron::PDF::Element::GetShading ( )

Returns: the SDF object of the Shading object.

◆ GetStructMCID()

int pdftron::PDF::Element::GetStructMCID ( )

Returns: Marked Content Identifier (MCID) for this Element or a negative number if the element is not assigned an identifier/MCID.

Marked content identifier can be used to associate an Element with logical structure element that refers to the Element.

◆ GetTextData()

const UChar * pdftron::PDF::Element::GetTextData ( )

Returns: a pointer to the internal text buffer for this text element.

Note: GetTextData() returns the raw text data and not a Unicode string. In PDF text can be encoded using various encoding schemes so it is necessary to consider Font encoding while processing the content of this buffer.; Most of the time GetTextString() is what you are looking for instead. GetTextString() maps the raw text directly into Unicode (as specified by Adobe Glyph List (AGL) ). Even if you would prefer to decode text yourself it is more convenient to use CharIterators returned by CharBegin()/CharEnd() and PDF::Font code mapping methods.; the buffer owner is the current element (i.e. ElementReader or ElementBuilder).

◆ GetTextDataSize()

UInt32 pdftron::PDF::Element::GetTextDataSize ( )

Returns: the size of the internal text buffer returned in GetTextData().

◆ GetTextLength()

double pdftron::PDF::Element::GetTextLength ( )

Returns: The text advance distance in text space.

The total sum of all of the advance values from rendering all of the characters within this element, including the advance value on the glyphs, the effect of properties such as 'char-spacing', 'word-spacing' and positioning adjustments on 'TJ' elements.

Note: Computed text length is represented in text space. In order to get the length of the text run in the user space, the returned value should be scaled using the text matrix (GetTextMatrix()) and the current transformation matrix (GetCTM()). See section 4.2 'Other Coordinate Spaces' in PDF Reference Manual for details.

◆ GetTextMatrix()

Common::Matrix2D pdftron::PDF::Element::GetTextMatrix ( )

Returns: a reference to the current text matrix (Tm).

◆ GetTextString()

UString pdftron::PDF::Element::GetTextString ( )

Returns: a pointer to Unicode string for this text Element. The function maps character codes to Unicode array defined by Adobe Glyph List (http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/type/glyphlist.txt).

Note: In PDF text can be encoded using various encoding schemes and in some cases it is not possible to extract Unicode encoding. If it is not possible to map charcode to Unicode the function will map a character to undefined code, 0xFFFD. This code is defined in private Unicode range.; If you would like to map raw text to Unicode (or some other encoding) yourself use CharIterators returned by CharBegin()/CharEnd() and PDF::Font code mapping methods.; The string owner is the current element (i.e. ElementReader or ElementBuilder).

◆ GetType()

Type pdftron::PDF::Element::GetType ( )

Returns: the current element type.

◆ GetXObject()

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Element::GetXObject ( )

Returns: the SDF object of the Image/Form object.

◆ HasTextMatrix()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::HasTextMatrix ( )

Returns: true if this element is directly associated with a text matrix (that is Tm operator is just before this text element) or false if the text matrix is default or is inherited from previous text elements.

◆ IsClippingPath()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsClippingPath ( )

Returns: true if the current path element is a clipping path and should be added to clipping path stack.

◆ IsClipWindingFill()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsClipWindingFill ( )

Returns: true if the current clip path is using non-zero winding rule, or false for even-odd rule.

◆ IsFilled()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsFilled ( )

Returns: true if the current path element should be filled

◆ IsImageInterpolate()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsImageInterpolate ( ) const

Returns: a boolean indicating whether image interpolation is to be performed.

◆ IsImageMask()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsImageMask ( ) const

Returns: a boolean indicating whether the inline image is to be treated as an image mask.

◆ IsOCVisible()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsOCVisible ( )

Returns: true if this element is visible in the optional-content context (OCG::Context). The method considers the context's current OCMD stack, the group ON-OFF states, the non-OC drawing status, the drawing and enumeration mode, and the intent.

When enumerating page content, OCG::Context can be passed as a parameter in ElementReader.Begin() method. When using PDFDraw, PDFRasterizer, or PDFView class to render PDF pages use PDFDraw::SetOCGContext() method to select an OC context.

◆ IsStroked()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsStroked ( )

Returns: true if the current path element should be stroked

◆ IsWindingFill()

bool pdftron::PDF::Element::IsWindingFill ( )

Returns: true if the current path should be filled using non-zero winding rule, or false if the path should be filled using even-odd rule.

According non-zero winding rule, you can determine whether a test point is inside or outside a closed curve as follows: Draw a line from a test point to a point that is distant from the curve. Count the number of times the curve crosses the test line from left to right, and count the number of times the curve crosses the test line from right to left. If those two numbers are the same, the test point is outside the curve; otherwise, the test point is inside the curve.

According to even-odd rule, you can determine whether a test point is inside or outside a closed curve as follows: Draw a line from the test point to a point that is distant from the curve. If that line crosses the curve an odd number of times, the test point is inside the curve; otherwise, the test point is outside the curve.
