graphitepdf-layout 0.2.0

Overview

graphitepdf-layout is the canonical layout layer for GraphitePDF.

It combines page sizing, style resolution, inheritance, asset sizing, text layout, SVG and math resolution, pagination, origin assignment, and z-index ordering into a safe layout tree used by downstream rendering.

Scope

graphitepdf-layout contains:

• authoring types such as Document, Page, Node, and LayoutStyle
• the ordered layout pipeline in ORDERED_PIPELINE
• SafeLayoutDocument, SafeLayoutPage, and SafeLayoutNode
• LayoutEngine for turning document input into positioned layout output

Installation

cargo add graphitepdf-layout

API Summary

Example

use graphitepdf_font::{FontSource, StandardFont};
use graphitepdf_layout::{Document, EdgeInsets, LayoutEngine, LayoutStyle, Node, Page};
use graphitepdf_primitives::{Color, Pt, Size};
use graphitepdf_textkit::{TextBlock, TextSpan};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let title = TextBlock::from(TextSpan::new("GraphitePDF layout")?);

    let document = Document::new().with_page(
        Page::new([
            Node::text(title).with_style(
                LayoutStyle::new()
                    .with_font_family("Helvetica")
                    .with_font_source(FontSource::standard(StandardFont::HelveticaBold))
                    .with_font_size(Pt::new(18.0))
                    .with_color(Color::rgb(0x17, 0x2b, 0x4d)),
            ),
        ])
        .with_size(Size::new(420.0, 180.0))
        .with_style(LayoutStyle::new().with_padding(EdgeInsets::all(Pt::new(24.0)))),
    );

    let layout = LayoutEngine::new().layout_document(&document)?;
    assert_eq!(layout.pages().len(), 1);
    Ok(())
}

Design Principles

• keep layout policy centralized in one canonical crate
• represent downstream-safe geometry and style explicitly
• make pipeline stages inspectable and testable
• integrate text, image, SVG, and math handling without binding directly to PDF output

Role In GraphitePDF

This crate is the bridge between authoring inputs and rendering. Everything that needs positioned, paginated, and inherited scene data should flow through graphitepdf-layout.
