Adding a footer before printing

I have an jpg image 400 x 400 and printing it on A4 paper i would like to add a footer note at the bottom of the page. But i can only get the text to be in the bounds of the image. I'm using version 14.5 of Lead tools for .Net

private void AddPageFooter(IRasterImage image, AnnContainer container)
{
container.Bounds = new AnnRectangle(0, 0,
printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PrintableArea.Width,
printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PrintableArea.Height, AnnUnit.Millimeter);
container.UnitConverter = new AnnUnitConverter(image.ImageWidth, image.ImageHeight);

container.Name = "Container";
container.Visible = true;

AnnTextObject text = new AnnTextObject();

text.Text = string.Format("Document - {0} Revision {1} Date {2}", "TestDoc");
text.Pen = new AnnPen(Color.Red,new AnnLength(4)) ;
text.Brush = null;
text.EdgeMargin = AnnLength.Empty;
text.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
text.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
text.TextColor = Color.Black;
text.Font = new AnnFont(InvuRenderer.Instance.FontName, new AnnLength(12), FontStyle.Bold);
text.Bounds = new AnnRectangle(1, 0, printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PrintableArea.Width, 5, AnnUnit.Millimeter);

container.Objects.Add(text);
container.Draw(image.CreateGdiPlusGraphics().Graphics);
}

Do you have an example of creating a image via code. As the image can be any size and dpi, as they are scan in. so creating the image by code would be the best way of doing it.

Thanks

I have been able to create the new blank image to the size i need. Just a quick question how to i go about adding the other image on top of this one.

Hello,

You would use Leadtools.ImageProcessing.CombineCommand.  For the CombineCommand your DestinationImage is your white image.  The source image is your original image.  You would use the SourceCopy flag.  There are other properties you have to set, so you will have to look at the documentation for those properties.

Also the new image you create will be all black by default.  So you will have to use the FillCommand to make it all white, or any color you like.  Do you have any questions about creating a new image?

hi thanks for that, Iwas creating the image using the following

int bitsPerPixel = image.BitsPerPixel;

//LEADTOOLS stores the image data scanlines in 32-bit padded lines
int stride = (((width * bitsPerPixel) + 31) >> 3) & ~3;

// Allocate the data
byte[] data = new byte[stride * height];

// Fill in the data
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < width * 3; x += 3)
{
data[x + 0 + y * stride] = 255;
data[x + 1 + y * stride] = 255;
data[x + 2 + y * stride] = 255;
}
}
}

// Create a new IRasterImage object with user-defined data
IRasterImage footerImage = new RasterImage(RasterMemoryFlags.User, width, height, bitsPerPixel,
RasterByteOrder.Rgb, RasterViewPerspective.TopLeft, null, data);

Is this the best way of greating an image and how to i cope with BitsPerPixel not being 24 as the above code does not work if BitsPerPixel = 1

Thanks

Hi

I have try the following but i get a System.NullReferenceException, any ideas?

Thanks

IRasterImage footerImage = new RasterImage(RasterMemoryFlags.User, width, height, image.BitsPerPixel,
RasterByteOrder.Rgb, RasterViewPerspective.TopLeft, null, null);

FillCommand fillCommand = new FillCommand();
fillCommand.Color = RasterColor.FromGdiPlusColor(Color.White);
fillCommand.Run(footerImage);

Hi

I changed RasterMemoryFlags.User to RasterMemoryFlags.Managed and its seems to work now.

Thanks for all you help
