write_filled_frame.json

The JSON file of the “Two orders, one frame, one bottom edge” example. An order of four lines and one of seven, in frames of the same height, both ending on the same bottom edge. Underneath, two notes of unequal length whose lines are moved apart until each reaches the foot of its frame.

JSON 225 lines

This file is a request: an application sends it over the network to the server, which creates the PDF and sends it back. It makes the same page as the Rust and Python versions of this example. A request names every file it uses, never its content; the call carries the request and the files together. A font the server already holds, such as DejaVuSans, is named with nothing attached. Send the request to the address the API page gives.

What this example is for

A pad of printed stationery has the frame on the paper already: a frame for the lines, a rule under it, the total below the rule. What goes in the frame is a different length every time. An order of four lines leaves a hand's breadth of white above the rule and an order of a dozen fills it, so two sheets from the same pad look like two different documents — and the usual answer, padding the short one with empty rows, is a row somebody can write in afterwards.
