Transformations¶

Rotation¶

The rotation() context-manager will apply a rotation to all objects inserted in its indented block:

from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF(format=(40, 40))
pdf.add_page()
x, y = 15, 15
with pdf.rotation(60, x=x, y=y):
    pdf.circle(x=x, y=y+15, r=5)
    # Inserting a small base64-encoded image:
    pdf.image("data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQBAMAAADt3eJSAAAAMFBMVEU0OkArMjhobHEoPUPFEBIuO0L+AAC2FBZ2JyuNICOfGx7xAwTjCAlCNTvVDA1aLzQ3COjMAAAAVUlEQVQI12NgwAaCDSA0888GCItjn0szWGBJTVoGSCjWs8TleQCQYV95evdxkFT8Kpe0PLDi5WfKd4LUsN5zS1sKFolt8bwAZrCaGqNYJAgFDEpQAAAzmxafI4vZWwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==", x=x, y=y)
    pdf.rect(x=x-10, y=y+10, w=25, h=15)
pdf.output("rotations.pdf")

Skew¶

skew creates a skewing transformation of magnitude ax in the horizontal axis and ay in the vertical axis. The transformation originates from x, y and will use a default origin unless specified otherwise:

with pdf.skew(ax=0, ay=10):
    pdf.cell(txt="text skewed on the y-axis")

with pdf.skew(ax=10, ay=0):
    pdf.cell(txt="text skewed on the x-axis")

pdf.set_line_width(2)
pdf.set_draw_color(240)
pdf.set_fill_color(r=230, g=30, b=180)
with pdf.skew(ax=-45, ay=0, x=100, y=170):
    pdf.circle(x=100, y=170, r=10, style="FD")
