8. Create Shapes Programmatically

        Create Shapes by codes.

    Sometimes you may want to generate shapes by codes only, then let your clients to modify/output those shapes in their ways. In those cases, you can try to use our latest class constructors to create shapes dynamically.

        Sample codes of shape creating.

.......

//get current layer
JFLayer layer =page.getCurrentLayer();
//get the shape list of current layer
ObjectList list =layer.getShapeList();

//create a polygon
int xpoints[] =new int[]{50,150,250,250,50};
int ypoints[] =new int[]{50,100,50,250,250};
list.add(new JFPolygon(xpoints,ypoints,5));

//create a horizontal label line.
list.add(new JFVHLabelLine(50,35,250,35,JFVHLabelLine.LINETYPE_HORIZONTAL));

//create a vertical label line.
list.add(new JFVHLabelLine(265,50,265,250,JFVHLabelLine.LINETYPE_VERTICAL));

//create an ellise
list.add(new JFEllipse(50,100,200,150));

//create an diamond
list.add(new JFDiamond(50,100,200,150));

//create an arc
list.add(new JFArc(100,212.5,200,212.5));
