Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3353: ----------------------------------------- Thanks for sharing... However I can't use that code directly because you you're using a different strategy than I did, you're drawing the arrow at the native angle, i.e. you're not using my "lazy" strategy (rotate first to avoid any thinking about the line angle). But your thoughts are still useful. I think I understand what you do: - shorten the line by 1 unit for the arrow tip - have each arrow side line 30° from the main line. Your argument about the arrow tip is of course correct. And my rendering of PDFBOX-2019 is obviously not good. To get a sharp angle we need to draw the path in a single step, i.e. move, line, line, instead of move, line, move, line. My code would change to {code} if (PDAnnotationLine.LE_OPEN_ARROW.equals(line.getStartPointEndingStyle())) { cs.moveTo(6, 3); cs.lineTo(0, 0); cs.lineTo(6, -3); cs.stroke(); } if (PDAnnotationLine.LE_OPEN_ARROW.equals(line.getEndPointEndingStyle())) { cs.moveTo(lineLength - 6, 3); cs.lineTo(lineLength, 0); cs.lineTo(lineLength - 6, -3); cs.stroke(); } {code} Re the rendering of PDFBOX-2019, I suspect the width plays a role too in the shortening. I haven't had much time recently... What one could do is to create various horizontal line annotations and see what Adobe does. > Create appearance streams for annotations > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-3353 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3353 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Task > Components: PDModel, Rendering > Affects Versions: 1.8.12, 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 3.0.0 > Reporter: Tilman Hausherr > Labels: Annotations > Attachments: line_dimension_appearance_stream-noAP.pdf, > line_dimension_appearance_stream.pdf, > PDFBOX-3353-highlight-noAP-001796-p1.pdf, PDFBOX-3353-highlight-noAP.pdf, > ShowAnnotation-4.java, showAnnotation.java, SquareAnnotations.pdf, > text_markup_ap_test.pdf > > > Create appearance streams for annotations when missing. > I'll start by replacing current code for Ink and Link annotations. > Good example PDFs: > http://www.pdfill.com/example/pdf_commenting_new.pdf > https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/6810 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
