Line 1 When the DLL is entered initially, a dcoument
is created which sets the inside frame to be the whole page. AddFirstPage
over-rides these defaults so long as nothing has already been
added to the document. In this example both a header and a footer
are created.
Line 2 To put anything into the header frame, it must first be
set as the current frame.
Line 3 ParaText draws the sepcified text within a recatngle.
It uses embedded commands to control the formatting. <ce>
specifies centered text whilst <pg> includes the current
page number.
Line 4 The metafile from the specified external file is loaded
and scaled to fit within the sepcified rectangle.
Line 5 The inside frame is re-selected
Lines 6 & 7 The outline of the inside frame is specified
to be drawn in blue.
Line 8 This loop executes a series of AddTextAt methods. The
y position is omitted so that each call uses the value updated
from the previous one, beginning with the start value of y = 0.
The alignment is left by default and the prASCopyPage is selected
so that when the bottom of the frame is reached, a new page is
added and the text output continues at its top line. With this
option, the new page also contains the other frames, apart from
inside which had been added to the previous page.
Line 9 Finally, the document is complete and, by default, EndDocument
displays the result in the preview window, allowing the user to
review it or print it as desired.
