Add Rectangle in Java XPS

Introduction

Welcome to this comprehensive guide on adding rectangles in Java XPS using Aspose.Page! Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting with Java XPS, this tutorial will walk you through the process with step-by-step instructions, ensuring you gain a deep understanding of the topic.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Basic knowledge of Java programming language.
• Aspose.Page library installed. If not, you can download it from the Aspose.Page Java documentation.
• A working Java development environment.

Import Packages

To get started, import the necessary packages into your Java project. Ensure that the Aspose.Page library is correctly added to your classpath. Here’s a basic example:

import com.aspose.xps.XpsDocument;
import com.aspose.xps.XpsPath;

Now, let’s break down the example provided into multiple steps to add a rectangle in Java XPS.

Step 1: Set the Document Directory

// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";

Replace “Your Document Directory” with the path to your desired directory.

Step 2: Create a New XPS Document

// Create new XPS Document
XpsDocument doc = new XpsDocument();

This initializes a new XPS document.

Step 3: Add a CMYK Solid Color Stroked Rectangle

// CMYK (blue) solid color stroked rectangle in the lower left
XpsPath path = doc.addPath(doc.createPathGeometry("M 20,10 L 220,10 220,100 20,100 Z"));
path.setStroke(doc.createSolidColorBrush(
    doc.createColor(dataDir + "uswebuncoated.icc", 1.0f, 1.000f, 0.000f, 0.000f, 0.000f)));
path.setStrokeThickness(12f);

This step adds a stroked rectangle with a CMYK solid color.

Step 4: Save the Resultant XPS Document

// Save resultant XPS document
doc.save(dataDir + "AddRectangle_out.xps");

Finally, save the modified XPS document with the added rectangle. Repeat these steps, adjusting parameters as needed, to customize your rectangles further.
