AddPage: Add a new page `[ 3 ]`

Description

Adds a new page with a specific orientation given by a parameter which is a pointer to a character string which may take either two values:

"P" ⇒ Portrait Orientation
"L" ⇒ Landscape Orientation

Returns true if page could be added, false otherwise. False is returned whenever the maximum number of pages has already been reached. This return code ought to be checked by calling program.

C calling syntax

int AddPage (char *orientation)

Cobol calling syntax

Call "AddPage" using PtOrient returning PdfRc

C sample code

#include   "fpdf.h"

static char   f_ini ??(??) = ??< "ini??/??/demofpdf.ini" ??>;
static char   f_out ??(??) = ??< "pdf??/??/demo_a.pdf" ??>;

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------- */

int  main (int argc, char *argv [])

??<
NewPdfy (f_ini, 1);
AddPage ("P");
SetFont ("Times", "B", 24);
SetTextColor (0, 100, 200);
Text (20, 25, "What is written below is TRUE");
SetTextColor (0, 200, 100);
Text (20, 50, "What is written above is FALSE");
Output (f_out);
??>

Cobol sample code

       Procedure division.
           Set Pt0 to Address of T0.
           Set Pt1 to Address of T1.
      *
           String 'DD:FINI' Low-Value delimited by size into T0.
           Move 2 to NbPages.
           Call "NewPdfy" Using by value Pt0, NbPages returning PdfRC.
      *
           String 'P' Low-Value delimited by size into T0.
           Call "AddPage" Using by value Pt0.
      *
           Move  20 to W.
           String 'Times' Low-Value delimited by size into T0.
           String 'N' Low-Value delimited by size into T1.
           Call "SetFont" Using by value Pt0, Pt1, W.
      *
           Move   0 to R.
           Move   100 to G.
           Move   200 to B.
           Call "SetTextColor" Using by value R,G,B.
           Move   0 to R.
           Move   100 to G.
           Move   200 to B.
           Call "SetTextColor" Using by value R,G,B.
           Move   20 to X.
           Move   25 to Y.
           String 'What is written below is TRUE ' Low-Value delimited by size into T0.
           Call "Text" Using by value X, Y, Pt0.
      *
           Move   200 to G.
           Move   100 to B.
           String 'What is written above is FALSE ' Low-Value delimited by size into T0.
           Move   50 to Y.
           Call "Text" Using by value X, Y, Pt0.

Description of sample code

This piece of code illustrates the most basic functions found in FPDF4ZOS interface.
- NewPdfy()       -->  Initialisation of a pdf context
- AddPage()       -->  As it says
- SetFont()       -->  Set current font
- SetTextColor()  -->  Set Text Color
- Text()          -->  Write a piece of Text at position [X,Y]
- Output()        -->  Output PDF file taking into account all the instructions invoked since context initialization
