Measure PDF area in MAUI

The MAUI PDF library enables measuring area in one of the following ways:

• Measure the area of a custom-drawn polygon
• Measure the area of an ellipse
• Measure the area of a rectangle

To measure area in your app, contact the Sales team to add the Measurement Tools component to your license, or run the SDK in trial mode.

Measuring the area of a polygon

Measure the area of a custom-drawn polygon in one of the following ways:

• Using the built-in user interface (UI)
• Programmatically

Measuring the area of a polygon using the built-in UI

To measure the area of a polygon using the built-in UI, follow these steps:

1. Click the measurement tools icon.
2. Tap Polygon Area.
3. Draw a polygon around the area you want to measure.

Measuring the area of a polygon programmatically

To measure the area of a polygon programmatically, use the Polygon shape annotation, which has a MeasurementAttributes property on which you can configure the MeasurementScale and MeasurementPrecision properties. For more information on scale and precision, see the guide on configuring measurements.

Measuring the area of an ellipse

Measure the area of an ellipse in one of the following ways:

• Using the built-in user interface (UI)
• Programmatically

Measuring the area of an ellipse using the Built-In UI

To measure the area of an ellipse using the built-in UI, follow these steps:

1. Click the measurement tools icon.
2. Tap Ellipse Area.
3. Draw an ellipse around the area you want to measure.

Measuring the area of an ellipse programmatically

To measure the area of an ellipse programmatically, use the Ellipse shape annotation, which has a MeasurementAttributes property on which you can configure the MeasurementScale and MeasurementPrecision properties. For more information on scale and precision, see the guide on configuring measurements.

Measuring the area of a rectangle

Measure the area of a rectangle in one of the following ways:

• Using the built-in user interface (UI)
• Programmatically

Measuring the area of a rectangle using the Built-In UI

To measure the area of a rectangle using the built-in UI, follow these steps:

1. Click the measurement tools icon.
2. Tap Rectangle Area.
3. Draw a rectangle around the area you want to measure.

Measuring the area of a rectangle programmatically

To measure the area of a rectangle programmatically, use the Rectangle shape annotation, which has a MeasurementAttributes property on which you can configure the MeasurementScale and MeasurementPrecision properties. For more information on scale and precision, see the guide on configuring measurements.
