Emmeran Seehuber updated PDFBOX-3697: ------------------------------------- Component/s: Writing > RFC: Integration of Graphics2D->PDFBox bridge > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-3697 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3697 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Writing > Reporter: Emmeran Seehuber > Priority: Minor > > I've build a Graphics2D -> PDFBox bridge. It allows you to draw using > Graphics2D into a PDF. iText has such a feature for a long time now. In > PDFBOX-102 it seems you don't want such a feature, or at least don't want to > implement it. I hope I must not explain why drawing to an image and placing > that image in the PDF is *not* the right solution. Depending on the output > device this may result in horrible quality. > As I want to migrate my usages of flying-saucer to openhtmltopdf > (https://github.com/danfickle/openhtmltopdf) I need a way to embed report > graphs in high quality into the PDF. Because of this I build this bridge: > https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d > The bridge is build from ground up by myself. I did not use any code of the > iText-Graphics2D bridge. > Currently it can render text only as vector shapes. But it supports different > gradient paints and texture paints. openhtmltopdf uses it to draw inline SVGs. > I would like to contribute this bridge to PDFBox, as I think this is a > feature PDFBox currently lacks. But I am not sure if you want this at all. > The bridge uses reflection to access e.g. the Batik gradient paints without > referencing Batik. The paint mapping is something which can never be really > finished, as they can be many paint implementations. Because of this the > bridge allows to customize all different kind of mappings (color/paint/font). > I don't know if it is better to keep this bridge separate or if it is better > to integrate it into PDFBox. This is something I would like you to decide. If > you would like it, I would prepare a patch. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
