./pdfpage
pdfpage
SYNOPSIS
#include <panda/constants.h> #include <panda/functions.h>
page *pdfpage(pdf *document, char *pageSize);
DESCRIPTION
The function pdfpage creates a new page in the PDF docu-
ment that you pass to it and returns a pointer to the page
to you. Many pages may simultaneously be open in this man-
ner, and there is no proceedure for 'closing' a page --
this is done automatically when the document is closed.
Once you are finished with the page you may discard the
pointer you have been given, but do not call free() on the
pointer or the library will break.
The page size string is a description of the size of the
page that you would like inserted into the document. This
may be any arbitary size that you desire, with the follow-
ing forwat being used: "0 0 <width> <height>". Size of the
pages is measured in points, of which there are 72 in an
inch. For your convenience, standard page sizes are
defined in the header file panda/constants.h -- there are
gPageSizeA4 and gPageSizeUsLetter.
EXAMPLE
Simply use:
#include <panda/constants.h>
#include <panda/functions.h>
pdf *demo;
page *first;
demo = pdfopen("output.pdf", "w");
first = pdfpage(demo, gPageSizeA4);
RETURNS
pdfpage returns a pointer to the page created. If a page
cannot be created, the error routine is called.
