SetClip not working with Drawstring

[Lakshmi Babu N]

Hi ,

I am trying to draw string in pdf using drawstring method. I certain cases, my text exceeds the width of my textbox. Hence I tried using SetClip for clipping the text. I dont want to use wordwrap since clipping is all the client needs. Please see the below code that I am using

           var format = new PdfStringFormat

            {

                LineLimit = false,

                WordWrap = wordWrap ? PdfWordWrapType.Word : PdfWordWrapType.None,

                Alignment = alignment.ToPdfTextAlignment(),

                LineAlignment = vAlign.ToPdfVerticalAlignment()

            };

           graphics.SetClip(new RectangleF((float)effectiveX, (float)effectiveY, (float)effectiveWidth,

                          (float)effectiveHeight));

           graphics.DrawString(text, font,color, new RectangleF((float)effectiveX, (float)effectiveY, (float)effectiveWidth,

                          (float)effectiveHeight),format);


Am I doing it right?

Hi Lakshmi, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

We can able to draw the exceeded text within the rectangle bounds by using DrawString method on our library.  We have created a simple sample for drawing the large multi-line text within the rectangle bounds, the text renders properly.
