All info is here: http://wiki.freepascal.org/fpvectorial And in the comments about each function in the source code. They form a documentation for the library, but they aren't merged yet into the rest of the Free Pascal docs. I don't know if fpdoc supports reading javadoc-style comments as documentation. Also, it is probably best to use the latest svn code. Just copy the source files from svn to your project's folder. > I'm getting an error when using the example programs. > > "ERROR: Clipping nao suportado" Something unsupported in the PDF reader. I didn't write the PDF reader. A coleague from my University wrote it, but I don't think he will maintain it. We tested with PDFs generated from CorelDraw and I am sure that it doesn't work with PDFs generated from Inkscape via Cairo. PDF has lot's of features and PDFs from different programs can look totally different, because they use different features to draw the same thing. Which application did you use to generate the PDF? PDF is well documented and is just text, so it is a rather easy format to parse. It may take time, but it shouldn't be hard to fix the reader. I can give you our documentation about the creation of the PDF reader. It is in portuguese, but I guess that you can just use google translate or something like that to get an english version. At the moment I am working in a CorelDraw reader and on the SVG writer. > I'm trying to import a PDF into DXF, specifically the Text, The current PDF reader doesn't support text. You need to specify in the PDF export dialog that the text needs to be converted into curves. We wrote it to generate G code for a milling machine, so obviously we only wanted the curves, no text =) > Polylines and circles and arcs. Those are all variations of the bezier curve. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
