License Acquisition

Start with a free trial by downloading a temporary license. Purchase options are available on their official site if you choose to continue using GroupDocs.Watermark.

Basic Initialization and Setup

Once the library is available, create a Watermarker instance that points to the diagram you want to protect:

DiagramLoadOptions loadOptions = new DiagramLoadOptions();
Watermarker watermarker = new Watermarker("YOUR_DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY/diagram.vsdx", loadOptions);

How to add watermark to diagram – Text Watermark

Create a Text Watermark

Define the text, font, color, and opacity you’d like to apply:

TextWatermark textWatermark = new TextWatermark("Confidential", new Font("Arial", 18));
textWatermark.setForegroundColor(Color.BLUE);
textWatermark.setOpacity(0.5f);

Set the Page Index for the Watermark

Specify the exact page you want to watermark. Page indexes are zero‑based:

DiagramPageWatermarkOptions textWatermarkOptions = new DiagramPageWatermarkOptions();
textWatermarkOptions.setPageIndex(0); // First page (index 0)

Add the Text Watermark

Apply the watermark to the selected page:

watermarker.add(textWatermark, textWatermarkOptions);

How to add image watermark java – Image Watermark

Create an Image Watermark

Load the image you want to overlay (e.g., a company logo):

ImageWatermark imageWatermark = new ImageWatermark("YOUR_DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY/logo.png");
imageWatermark.setOpacity(0.7f);

Set the Page Index for the Image Watermark

Choose the page that will display the image watermark:

DiagramPageWatermarkOptions imageWatermarkOptions = new DiagramPageWatermarkOptions();
imageWatermarkOptions.setPageIndex(1); // Second page (index 1)

Add the Image Watermark

Insert the image watermark onto the chosen page:

watermarker.add(imageWatermark, imageWatermarkOptions);

Save and Close Resources

After adding all desired watermarks, persist the changes and clean up:

watermarker.save("YOUR_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY/output_diagram.vsdx");
watermarker.close();
textWatermark.close();
imageWatermark.close();

Practical Applications

• Document Security – Apply a “Confidential” label to draft diagrams before sharing with partners.
• Branding – Stamp your logo on specific pages of technical schematics.
• Copyright Protection – Embed copyright notices on high‑value diagrams to deter misuse.

Performance Considerations

• Manage memory efficiently, especially for large files.
• Optimize image sizes before using them as watermarks to speed up processing.
• Leverage Java’s garbage collection by closing all watermark objects after saving.
