Tables and charts using PDFsharp [closed]

Question

I just started with a project that requires me to write to PDF file. After some googling I decided on using PDFsharp which looks simple enough, however I have a few questions regarding drawing tables and charts.

Is PDFsharp a good choice for writing PDF files that contain tables and charts? If no, can you recommend a better alternative? If yes, where could I find some good literature on the subject? A tutorial would be nice (doesn't have to be a sample project, just something I can use to familiarise myself with the library and its classes).

Can anyone tell me what MigraDoc is all about? I just took a glimpse and it seems perfect for what I need, however I would like some more information about it.

Answer 1

PDFsharp is a "low level" PDF generator, while MigraDoc is a "high level" document generator that uses PDFsharp to create PDF files, but can also create e. g. RTF.

If you dont want to use MigraDoc, you can use the gfx.Drawline() and draw the table yourself. I did it in one of my Projects. You can do it like that:

        gfx.DrawLine(pen, 45, 250, 45, 703);
        gfx.DrawLine(pen, 87, 250, 87, 703);
        gfx.DrawLine(pen, 150, 250, 150, 703);
        gfx.DrawLine(pen, 291, 250, 291, 703);
        gfx.DrawLine(pen, 381, 250, 381, 703);
        gfx.DrawLine(pen, 461, 250, 461, 703);
        gfx.DrawLine(pen, 571, 250, 571, 703);

Or you can use a for loop to do it like that and count the postion up.
