How to create round-rect borders in PDF

Introduction


You can create cool visual effects using the flow layout API provided by Apitron PDF Kit. One of such effects is the support border-radius property offered by content elements. This property can be used to create round-rect borders for text, images and even annotation objects.

Code sample


static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // create document and its resource manager
    ResourceManager manager = new ResourceManager();
    FlowDocument doc = new FlowDocument(){Margin = new Thickness(10)};

    // add new text block with roudn-rect border
    doc.Add(new TextBlock("The text with round-rect border")
            {
                BorderRadius = 5,
                Border = new Border(10),
                BorderColor = RgbColors.Red,
                Padding = new Thickness(5)
            });

    // save file
    using (Stream stream = File.Create("round-rect.pdf"))
    {
        doc.Write(stream, manager);
    }
}


Resulting image is shown below:
