Hi,

I have image stream and used docBUilder.InsertImage(_stream) but want to insert a page break before the image being inserted based on it is landscape or portrait. i.e.

  • landscape figures own page in landscape > (3:1)
  • landscape/portrait figures no own page < (2,99:1)

How do I achieve this ? Any help?

Thanks

@PradnyaR Aspose.Words do not provide API to work with images. You could use either .NET system classes to or some other third-party image processing libraries depending on the your target platform.

Here is the code how to get image width/height with .NET System.Drawing:

Image image = Image.FromStream(stream);
Console.WriteLine($"{image.Width};{image.Height}");

I didn’t find anything like Image image = Image.FromStream(stream); in C# but manged to achieve the requirement by adding page break always before docBUilder.InsertImage(_stream) and at the end removed the last inserted page break if the figure is landscape i.e. width > 3.

Thanks for you support!

@PradnyaR System.Drawing.Common package which contains System.Drawing.Image class may not be available on the platform you are using. As an alternative you could use SkiaSharp graphics library.
