Perform Simple Drawing with Aspose.PSD for Java

Introduction

Welcome to this step-by-step guide on performing simple drawing using Aspose.PSD for Java! In this tutorial, we will explore the basics of creating a new PSD document, adding layers, and drawing shapes with different colors. Aspose.PSD for Java is a powerful library that enables you to manipulate PSD files programmatically, providing extensive functionality for graphic design tasks.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your machine.
Aspose.PSD for Java library. You can download it from the Aspose.PSD for Java Documentation .

Import Packages

To get started, import the necessary packages into your Java project. Include the following code at the beginning of your Java file:

import com.aspose.psd.Color;
import com.aspose.psd.Graphics;
import com.aspose.psd.Pen;
import com.aspose.psd.Rectangle;
import com.aspose.psd.brushes.SolidBrush;

import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.PsdImage;
import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.layers.Layer;

Step 1: Create a New Document

Let’s start by creating a new PSD document with a specified width and height:

//ExStart:CreateDocument
String outputDir = "Your Document Directory";
String outPsdFilePath = outputDir + "output.psd";
int width = 100;
int height = 100;

PsdImage image = new PsdImage(width, height);
//ExEnd:CreateDocument

Step 2: Add a Layer

Now, let’s add a layer to the document using the no-argument constructor:

//ExStart:AddLayer
Layer layer = new Layer();
layer.setBottom(height);
layer.setRight(width);
image.addLayer(layer);
//ExEnd:AddLayer

Step 3: Draw Shapes

In this step, we will use the Graphics class to draw shapes on the created layer:

Draw a Rectangle with a Yellow Color

//ExStart:DrawRectangleYellow
Graphics graphic = new Graphics(layer);
graphic.clear(Color.getYellow());
//ExEnd:DrawRectangleYellow

Draw a Red Rectangle

//ExStart:DrawRedRectangle
graphic.drawRectangle(new Pen(Color.getRed()), new Rectangle(30, 10, 40, 80));
//ExEnd:DrawRedRectangle

Draw a Blue Rectangle

//ExStart:DrawBlueRectangle
graphic.drawRectangle(new Pen(new SolidBrush(Color.getBlue())), new Rectangle(10, 30, 80, 40));
//ExEnd:DrawBlueRectangle

Step 4: Save the Changes

Finally, save a copy of the loaded PSD file including the changes:

//ExStart:SaveChanges
image.save(outPsdFilePath);
//ExEnd:SaveChanges

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully performed simple drawing using Aspose.PSD for Java. This tutorial covered creating a new document, adding layers, and drawing rectangles with different colors. Feel free to explore more advanced features offered by the library for your graphic design needs.
