<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580810 by <a href="/recipes/users/4193772/">Jorj X. McKie</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/fitz/">fitz</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>). </p> <p>PyMuPDF now supports drawing pie charts on a PDF page.</p> <p>Important parameters for the function are center of the circle, one of the two arc's end points and the angle of the circular sector. The function will draw the pie piece (in a variety of options) and return the arc's calculated other end point for any subsequent processing.</p> <p>This example creates a chart of the parliament seat distribution for political parties in the current German Bundestag.</p>

McKie</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/mupdf/">mupdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>). </p> <p>A new method <strong>select()</strong> in PyMuPDF 1.9.0 allows selecting pages of a PDF document to create a new one. Any Python list of integers (0 &lt;= n &lt; page count) can be taken.</p> <p>The resulting PDF contains all links, annotations and bookmarks (provided they still point to valid targets).</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Text recipe 580701 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/pdfwriter/">pdfwriter</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipe/">pipe</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipeline/">pipeline</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe is a command pipeline. The first component of the pipeline is a D language program that makes use of simple functional programming and template / generic programming features of D, to transform some input into the desired output. Both input and output are text. The D program writes the output to standard output, which is then read by a Python program that reads that as input via standard input, and converts it to PDF.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 579043 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/ascii/">ascii</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to print part of an ASCII table to PDF. It shows it for the first 32 ASCII characters, the control characters, i.e. the characters with ASCII codes 0 to 31. The same logic can be extended to print the remaining ASCII characters, either upto code 127 or 255, depending on your definition of ASCII, and also on whether your PDF font supports printing all those characters.</p>
