Hi there,

In my project using PDFSharp 1.50 Beta 3 I am using the
Code:
XGraphics DrawString()
method to draw strings onto the PDFs that I am creating, however I noticed that this method does not play nicely with new lines (\n). After some googling I found out that using the XTextFormatter DrawString() method would correctly parse the newline characters, which is great.

I did notice that the
Quote:
XTextFormatter DrawString()
method only supports TopLeft Formatting at this moment in time, is there any workaround for getting Right or Center alignment with newlines?

Thanks, RBrNx

Hi!

Did you try the Alignment property of XtextFormatter?

Hi there, yes that was the first thing I tried, unfortunately when you use anything other than

Code:
XStringFormats.TopLeft


It throws the exception
Code:
Only TopLeft alignment is currently implemented.


I was wondering if anyone had implemented the other alignments or knew of an easy way to do it?

Apologies I misread your post! Keeping the XStringFormats value as TopLeft, I was also able to set the XTextFormatter.Alignment to Left/Right/Center and this worked fantastic!

Thanks for your help
