Implementation Guide

Adding Text Watermark to a Specific Page

To add a text watermark, create and configure it before specifying the target page.

Create a Text Watermark

Define your text watermark with customizable content, font style, size, etc.:

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

Set the Page Index for the Watermark

Determine which diagram page will display the watermark using DiagramPageWatermarkOptions:

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

Add the Text Watermark

Add your configured watermark to the diagram:

watermarker.add(textWatermark, textWatermarkOptions);

Adding Image Watermark to a Specific Page

Follow similar steps for image watermarks using an ImageWatermark object.

Create an Image Watermark

Create an instance of ImageWatermark with the desired watermark image path:

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

Set the Page Index for the Watermark

Specify which page should display the image watermark:

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

Add the Image Watermark

Add the image to your specified diagram page:

watermarker.add(imageWatermark, imageWatermarkOptions);

Save and Close Resources

Remember to save changes and close resources to prevent leaks:

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

Practical Applications

  • Document Security – Apply confidential watermarks only on pages that contain sensitive schematics.
  • Branding – Place your company logo on the cover page while leaving interior pages clean.
  • Copyright Protection – Add a copyright notice to the last page of a technical diagram pack.

Performance Considerations

  • Memory Management – Close each watermark object after saving to free native resources.
  • Image Optimization – Use appropriately sized PNG/JPEG files to keep processing fast.
  • Batch Processing – When handling many diagrams, reuse a single Watermarker instance where possible.
