I am using PDFsharp to export a chart legend. I am using a for loop and a table to display the properties. There is actually only one property: the Subdivision name. The object has the right RGB color to use. How can I draw squares next to it just as chart legends display the series? Forgive me for the variable names, I am going off a example.
//Writting Table Header Text
textformater.DrawString(" Color", tableheader, XBrushes.Black, snoColumn);
textformater.DrawString(" Subdivision Name", tableheader, XBrushes.Black, snoStudentName);
foreach (var item in data)
{
y = y + 30;
XRect snoColumnVal = new XRect(35, y, 70, height);
XRect snoStudentNameVal = new XRect(100, y, 250, height);
textformater.DrawString(item.Color, tableheader, XBrushes.Black, snoColumnVal);
textformater.DrawString(item.Name, tableheader, XBrushes.Black, snoStudentNameVal);
}
Here is the output:
this is what I need it to look like
I used this struct for the demo:
struct RowItem
{
public int R, G, B;
public string Text;
}
Here's my test data:
var data = new[]
{
new RowItem{R = 255, G = 0, B = 0, Text = "Red row"},
new RowItem{R = 0, G = 255, B = 0, Text = "Green row"},
new RowItem{R = 255, G = 255, B = 0, Text = "Yellow row"},
new RowItem{R = 0, G = 0, B = 255, Text = "Blue row"},
new RowItem{R = 255, G = 0, B = 255, Text = "Purple row"},
new RowItem{R = 0, G = 255, B = 255, Text = "Cyan row"},
new RowItem{R = 0, G = 0, B = 0, Text = "Black row"}
};
And here's the code that does the drawing:
foreach (var item in data)
{
y = y + 30;
XRect snoColumnVal = new XRect(35, y, 60, 25);
XRect snoStudentNameVal = new XRect(100, y, 250, 25);
var brush = new XSolidBrush(XColor.FromArgb(255, item.R, item.G, item.B));
gfx.DrawRectangle(XPens.Black, brush, snoColumnVal);
textformater.DrawString(item.Text, font, XBrushes.Black, snoStudentNameVal);
}
R, G, and B are the color components (range 0 through 255).
Just draw the square like so:
// Create solid brush.
SolidBrush blueBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Blue);
// Create rectangle.
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 200);
// Fill rectangle to screen.
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(blueBrush, rect);
Here is how you set the color:
// Create a green color using the FromRgb static method.
Color myRgbColor = new Color();
myRgbColor = Color.FromRgb(0, 255, 0);
return myRgbColor;
