Protected Member Functions inherited from __FCBase
	__FCBase ()
	The constructor.

Detailed Description

Class to create a PDF and write it to disk. This is also a collection of FCPDFPage objects.

Pages are added with the AddPage() method.

The FCPDFWriter class is a wrapper around the LibHaru library.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FCPDFWriter()

FCPDFWriter::FCPDFWriter ( FCString * pFileName )

The constructor.

The last error code will be reset each time this constructor is called.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

pFileName The full path to the PDF file name that should be created.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddPage()

FCPDFPage * FCPDFWriter::AddPage ( )

Appends a page to the PDF.

Each page will use the default page size, which can be changed with the SetDefaultPageSize static method.

Lua-supported.

Returns: NULL on error. Otherwise the pointer to the PDF page object (of the FCPDFPage class).

◆ Close()

bool FCPDFWriter::Close ( )

Closes the PDF file. After a call to this method, the object can no longer be used to create or save data.

Lua-supported.

◆ GetFileName()

void FCPDFWriter::GetFileName ( FCString * pString )

Copies the file name path to the FCString object.

Lua-supported.

◆ GetLastError()

int FCPDFWriter::GetLastError ( )

static

Static method that returns the last error code for a PDF call. This is a standard LibHaru error code.

Since the method is static, the error code can be retrieved even after the FCPDFWriter object has been destroyed. However, each new constructor call to a new FCPDFWriter object will reset the error code.

Lua-supported.

◆ GetLastErrorDetail()

int FCPDFWriter::GetLastErrorDetail ( )

static

Static method that returns the last error detail for a PDF error. This is a standard LibHaru error detail number.

Since the method is static, the error code detail can be retrieved even after the FCPDFWriter object has been destroyed. However, each new constructor call to a new FCPDFWriter object will reset the error code detail.

Lua-supported.

◆ IsOpened()

bool FCPDFWriter::IsOpened ( )

inline

Returns true if the PDF file is accessible to data creation and saves.

Lua-supported.

◆ Save()

bool FCPDFWriter::Save ( )

Saves the PDF file to disk.

Lua-supported.

◆ SetDefaultPageSize()

void FCPDFWriter::SetDefaultPageSize	(	float	width,
		float	height )

static

Static method that sets the default page size that will be used for all subsequent calls to the AddPage method.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

width	The page width in points.
height	The page height in points.
