[Gambas-user] How to insert a .png file into a CairoPdfSurface (gb.cairo)

[Willy Raets]

Hi All,

Been struggling with inserting an existing .png file onto a
CairoPdfSurface (gb.cairo).

Done some extensive reading in the documentation but do not seem to find
a method get the job done. Is this not possible or am I misunderstanding
the documentation?

Piece of the code of the project:

Public Sub MakePdf()
  
  Dim hPdfProjectFile As CairoPdfSurface
  Dim sPdfPath, sPicPath As String
  Dim iX, iY As Float
  sPicPath = User.Home & "/MyFolder/mypicture.png"
  sPdfPath = User.Home & "/MyFolder/project.pdf"
  hPdfProjectFile = New CairoPdfSurface(sPdfPath, 210, 297) 
  Cairo.Begin(hPdfProjectFile)
  '--Draw title --
  iY = 250
  '-- Some code to determine X coördinate iX --
  ...
  ...
  Cairo.Font.Bold = True
  Cairo.Font.Size = 18
  Cairo.MoveTo(iX, iY)
  Cairo.DrawText(Start.ProjectLoadedTitle)
  Cairo.Font.Bold = False
  '
  '--Draw project logo --
  iY = 285
  ...                   '<== stuck right here!! 
  '
  '--Draw Document Version--
  iY = 500
  ...
  ...
  Cairo.End

End

Anyone any ideas, suggestions, links?
