drawStencilMask(PDFStencilMask,PDFBrush,double,double,double,double,double,PDFFlipDirection) Method

In This Topic

Draws the specified at the specified location and with the specified size.
A stencil mask is a B/W image where the 1 pixels are left transparent and 0 pixels are filled with the brush.
If width is zero or negative then width is automatically computed in order to keep the original aspect ratio. If height is zero or negative then height is automatically computed in order to keep the original aspect ratio. If both width and height are negative then the stencil mask is scaled automatically to fit the given area and the original aspect ratio is kept.
