Common Use Cases ================ pydyf has been created for WeasyPrint and many common use cases can thus be found in `its repository`_. .. _its repository: https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint Draw rectangles and lines ------------------------- .. code-block:: python import pydyf document = pydyf.PDF() draw = pydyf.Stream() # Draw a first rectangle # With the border in dash style # The dash line is 2 points full, 1 point empty # And the dash line begins with 2 full points draw.rectangle(100, 100, 50, 70) draw.set_dash([2, 1], 0) draw.stroke() # Draw a second rectangle # The dash is reset to a full line # The line width is set # Move the bottom-left corner to (80, 80) # Fill the rectangle draw.rectangle(50, 50, 20, 40) draw.set_dash([], 0) draw.set_line_width(10) draw.transform(1, 0, 0, 1, 80, 80) draw.fill() # Add the stream with the two rectangles into the document document.add_object(draw) # Add a page to the document containing the draw document.add_page(pydyf.Dictionary({ 'Type': '/Page', 'Parent': document.pages.reference, 'Contents': draw.reference, 'MediaBox': pydyf.Array([0, 0, 200, 200]), })) # Write to document.pdf with open('document.pdf', 'wb') as f: document.write(f) Add some color -------------- .. code-block:: python import pydyf document = pydyf.PDF() draw = pydyf.Stream() # Set the color for nonstroking and stroking operations # Red for nonstroking an green for stroking draw.set_color_rgb(1.0, 0.0, 0.0) draw.set_color_rgb(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, stroke=True) draw.rectangle(100, 100, 50, 70) draw.set_dash([2, 1], 0) draw.stroke() draw.rectangle(50, 50, 20, 40) draw.set_dash([], 0) draw.set_line_width(10) draw.transform(1, 0, 0, 1, 80, 80) draw.fill() document.add_object(draw) document.add_page(pydyf.Dictionary({ 'Type': '/Page', 'Parent': document.pages.reference, 'Contents': draw.reference, 'MediaBox': pydyf.Array([0, 0, 200, 200]), })) with open('document.pdf', 'wb') as f: document.write(f) Display image ------------- .. code-block:: python import pydyf document = pydyf.PDF() extra = Dictionary({ 'Type': '/XObject', 'Subtype': '/Image', 'Width': 197, 'Height': 101, 'ColorSpace': '/DeviceRGB', 'BitsPerComponent': 8, 'Filter': '/DCTDecode', }) image = open('logo.jpg', 'rb').read() xobject = pydyf.Stream([image], extra=extra) document.add_object(xobject) image = pydyf.Stream() image.push_state() image.transform(100, 0, 0, 100, 100, 100) image.draw_x_object('Im1') image.pop_state() document.add_object(image) # Put the image in the resources of the PDF document.add_page(pydyf.Dictionary({ 'Type': '/Page', 'Parent': document.pages.reference, 'MediaBox': pydyf.Array([0, 0, 200, 200]), 'Resources': pydyf.Dictionary({ 'ProcSet': pydyf.Array(['/PDF', '/ImageB']), 'XObject': pydyf.Dictionary({'Im1': xobject.reference}), }), 'Contents': image.reference, })) with open('document.pdf', 'wb') as f: document.write(f) Display text ------------ .. code-block:: python import pydyf document = pydyf.PDF() # Define the font font = pydyf.Dictionary({ 'Type': '/Font', 'Subtype': '/Type1', 'Name': '/F1', 'BaseFont': '/Helvetica', 'Encoding': '/MacRomanEncoding', }) document.add_object(font) # Set the font use for the text # Move to where to display the text # And display it text = pydyf.Stream() text.begin_text() text.set_font_size('F1', 24) text.text_matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 10, 90) text.show_text(pydyf.String('Hello World')) text.end_text() document.add_object(text) # Put the font in the resources of the PDF document.add_page(pydyf.Dictionary({ 'Type': '/Page', 'Parent': document.pages.reference, 'MediaBox': pydyf.Array([0, 0, 200, 200]), 'Contents': text.reference, 'Resources': pydyf.Dictionary({ 'ProcSet': pydyf.Array(['/PDF', '/Text']), 'Font': pydyf.Dictionary({'F1': font.reference}), }) })) with open('document.pdf', 'wb') as f: document.write(f)
