The graphic PDF objects in HiQPdf software are the lines, rectangles, circles, ellipses, ellipse arcs, ellipse slices, Bezier curves and polygons. The graphic objects can be laid out in any position in a canvas and they are not paginated.
The graphic PDF objects are all derived from the PdfDrawableObject class which is a specialization of the PdfObject generic class.
In this demo you can learn how to layout graphics in a PDF document with various line styles and fill modes. There are examples for drawing lines, circles, ellipses, elippses arcs and slices, rectangles, Bezier curves and polygons.
