Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
- (BOOL)sortElementsWithOptions:(nullable LTSvgSortOptions *)options userData:(nullable id)userData callback:(BOOL (^)(LTSvgDocument *document, LTSvgElementInfo *info, id _Nullable userData))callback error:(NSError **)error NS_SWIFT_NAME(sortElements(options:userData:callback:)); Parameters
options
Options to use. Can be null.
callback
Callback to receive the sorted elements. Cannot be null.
userData
Optional user data that will be passed to the callback.
Example
This example will use SortElements to load a page from a PDF as SVG and then create a text file with the strings found.
using Leadtools;
using Leadtools.Codecs;
using Leadtools.Drawing;
using Leadtools.Forms.DocumentWriters;
using Leadtools.Svg;
using Leadtools.Document.Writer;
public void SortElementsExample()
{
// The source PDF file
string srcFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Leadtools.pdf");
string dstFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Example.txt");
// SVG sort callback handler
SvgSortElementsCallback sortCallback = (callabackDocument, info, userData) =>
{
StreamWriter writer = userData as StreamWriter;
// Is it text?
SvgTextData textData = info.TextData;
if (textData != null)
{
// Yes, print it to the console
writer.Write(textData.Text + " ");
// See if its end of line
var len = textData.Text.Length;
if ((textData.CharacterFlags[len - 1] & SvgTextCharacterFlags.EndOfLine) == SvgTextCharacterFlags.EndOfLine)
writer.WriteLine();
}
return true;
};

// get the number of pages
int pageCount = codecs.GetTotalPages(srcFileName);
// Create a writer for the output text file
using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(dstFileName))
