# encoding: utf-8 # # The origin example already mentions that a new document already comes with # a margin box whose bottom left corner is used as the origin for calculating # coordinates. # # What has not been told is that there is one helper for "bypassing" the margin # box: canvas. This method is a shortcut for creating a bounding # box mapped to the absolute coordinates and evaluating the code inside it. # # The following snippet draws a circle on each of the four absolute corners. # require File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), %w[.. example_helper])) filename = File.basename(__FILE__).gsub('.rb', '.pdf') Prawn::Example.generate(filename) do canvas do fill_circle [bounds.left, bounds.top], 30 fill_circle [bounds.right, bounds.top], 30 fill_circle [bounds.right, bounds.bottom], 30 fill_circle [0, 0], 30 end end
