SetLineWidth Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Sets the line width (the line thickness, or in other words the pen size) used by all subsequent stroking operations, like the
GdPicturePDF.DrawLine method or the
GdPicturePDF.DrawRectangle method. The specified value need to be expressed in the current units defined in the PDF document. The initial value is set to 1.0.
The line width parameter is one of the graphics state parameters. These parameters are initialized to their default values at the beginning of each page (see PDF Reference, Section "Graphics State").
You can use the GdPicturePDF.GetMeasurementUnit method to determine the currently defined units and you can use the GdPicturePDF.SetMeasurementUnit method to reset the units according to your preference.
Syntax
Parameters
- LineWidth
- The thickness, expressed in the current units defined in the PDF document, of paths to be stroked. Initial value is 1.0.
Return Value
A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.
We strongly recommend always checking this status first.
