Highlighted Features

• Super quick and easy Builder-like pattern:

var run = new Run().Text("This is a simple Run.")
  .FontSize(24)
  .FontColor("Red")
  .Bold()
  .Italic();

• The ability to create Paragraphs with multiple Runs and multiple formattings:

Run[] runs = new[]
{
	new Run().Text("This is a").FontSize(16),
	new Run().Text(" single paragraph ").FontFace("Comic Sans MS"),
	new Run().Text("with 3 Runs.").HighlightColor(HighlightColorValues.Cyan)
};

body.AppendChild(new Paragraph(runs))

• The ability to create tables quickly:

body.AppendChild(QTable.Create(new[]
{
	new[] { "1", "John", "Doe" },
	new[] { "2", "Jane", "Doe" },
	new[] { "3", "John", "Smith" },
	new[] { "4", "Jane", "Smith" }
}));

• The ability quickly merge cells:

// Merge cells [0,0] and [1,0] (vertically)
table.Rows(0)?.Cells(0)?.VerticalMerge(MergedCellValues.Restart);
table.Rows(1)?.Cells(0)?.VerticalMerge(MergedCellValues.Continue);

// Merge cells [2,0] and [3,0] (vertically)
table.Rows(2)?.Cells(0)?.VerticalMerge(MergedCellValues.Restart);
table.Rows(3)?.Cells(0)?.VerticalMerge(MergedCellValues.Continue);

• The ability to quickly create formatted rows and cells:

table1.AppendChild(QTableRow.Create(
	new[] { "ID", "First Name", "Last Name" },
	rowFormatting: new TableRowFormatting { IsHeader = true },
	runFormatting: new RunFormatting { Bold = true }));

• The ability to easily customize existing table cells:

foreach (TableCell? cell in table2.GetColumnOfCells(3).Skip(1)) // 4th column of cells, skip header cell
{
	if (cell?.Paragraphs(0)?.GetText() == "Yes")
		cell?.FillColor("LightGreen");
	else
		cell?.FillColor("LightPink");
}

• The ability to create inlined images:

body.AppendChild(new Paragraph(
	new Run(QDrawing.FromImage(body, "Icon.png", ImagePartType.Png, 32, 32)),
	new Run().Text(" This image is inlined with the text.").VerticalPosition(8)
).Justification(JustificationValues.Center));

• The ability to create anchored images:

body.AppendChild(new Paragraph(
	new Run(QDrawing.FromImage(body, "Icon.png", ImagePartType.Png, 128, 128)
		.ToAnchoredDrawing()
		.AbsoluteVerticalPosition(0, ImageMeasuringUnits.Pixels, DW.VerticalRelativePositionValues.Paragraph)
		.SquareWrapping(0, 0, 0.5, 0, ImageMeasuringUnits.Centimeters)),

	new Run().Text("This\nimage\nis\naligned\nbefore\nthe text.\n")
));
