Work with visual brushes with C++

The Aspose.Page for C++ API allows you to add a grid to your XPS files using a few lines of code. This can be done for both new and existing documents. The XpsVisualBrush class is utilized to set the properties of the grid, utilizing XpsPathGeometry and XpsCanvas objects. To add a grid to your XPS document, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Using the XpsDocument Class create a Document object
  2. Create an XpsPathGeometry object with the necessary segments defined.
  3. Utilize the XpsCanvas Class to set the rendering transformation.
  4. Adjust the Fill and Opacity properties as desired.
  5. Save the document by calling the Save() Method.

Add a horizontal gradient with C++.

The Aspose.Page API Solution for C++ allows you to add different types of gradients to your XPS documents using the XpsGradientBrush Class. This class is used to specify the XpsGradientStop and XpsPath information to the XpsDocument object which represents the XPS file. Here’s an example of how to do this:

  1. Initialize an XpsDocument object.
  2. Define the XpsGradientStop and XpsPath parameters for the XPS document.
  3. Set the rendering information.
  4. Save the document using the Save() Method.

XPS What is XPS File Format

XPS format is similar to PDF format. Both are page description language (PDL) formats. EPS is based on HTML and not on PostScript language. The .eps file is capable to contain a markup of the document's structure along with the information on how the document would look like. There are also added instructions on how to print and render the document. The feature of the format is that it fixes the document's description which means that it will look the same no matter who and from what operational system opens it.
