Advanced Transformations Guide with Aspose.Page

Introduction

Welcome to a comprehensive guide on utilizing the powerful features of Aspose.Page for Java to perform transformations in Java Page Manipulation. Aspose.Page is a versatile Java library that enables developers to work with various page manipulation tasks efficiently.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the step-by-step guide, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

  • Basic knowledge of Java programming.
  • Aspose.Page for Java library installed. You can download it from the Aspose.Page for Java documentation.
  • A Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) set up on your machine.

Import Packages

In your Java project, import the necessary packages to utilize Aspose.Page for Java:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Shape;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import com.aspose.eps.PsDocument;
import com.aspose.eps.device.PsSaveOptions;

Example 1: No Transformations

// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
// Create output stream for PostScript document
FileOutputStream outPsStream = new FileOutputStream(dataDir + "Tranformations_outPS.ps");
// Create save options with A4 size
PsSaveOptions options = new PsSaveOptions();
// Create new PS Document with the page opened
PsDocument document = new PsDocument(outPsStream, options, false);
// Create a rectangle
Shape shape = new Rectangle2D.Float(0, 0, 150, 100);
// Set paint in graphics state on the upper level
document.setPaint(Color.ORANGE);
// Fill the first rectangle without any transformations.
document.fill(shape);
// Close current page
document.closePage();
// Save the document
document.save();

Example 2: Translation

// Save graphics state to return back after transformation
document.writeGraphicsSave();
// Displace current graphics state 250 to the right
document.translate(250, 0);
// Set paint in the current graphics state
document.setPaint(Color.BLUE);
// Fill the second rectangle with translation transformation
document.fill(shape);
// Restore graphics state to the previous (upper) level
document.writeGraphicsRestore();

Example 3: Scaling

// Save graphics state to return back after transformation
document.writeGraphicsSave();
// Scale current graphics state on 0.5 in X axis and 0.75f in Y axis
document.scale(0.5f, 0.75f);
// Set paint in the current graphics state
document.setPaint(Color.RED);
// Fill the third rectangle with scale transformation
document.fill(shape);
// Restore graphics state to the previous (upper) level
document.writeGraphicsRestore();

Continue the pattern with examples for Rotation, Shearing, and Complex Transformation following the provided Java code snippets.
