Add Rectangle to PS
In order to insert a rectangle into PsDocument using Aspose.Page for Python via .NET library take the following steps:
- Create an output stream for the resulting PS file.
- Create a PsSaveOptions object with the default options.
- Create a 1-paged PsDocument with an already created output stream and save options.
- Create a rectangle aspose.pydrawing.GraphicsPath from the rectangle.
- Set a paint to the current graphics state of PsDocument.
- Fill the rectangle.
- Close the page.
- Save the document.
To stroke (outline) a rectangle the first 4 and the last 2 steps will be the same, but the 5-th and 6-th one will be:
- Set the stroke to the current graphics state of the PsDocument.
- Stroke (outline) the rectangle.

Add Ellipse to PS
To add an ellipse to PsDocument also 8 steps are required to be taken:
- Create an output stream for the resulting PS file.
- Create a PsSaveOptions object with the default options.
- Create a 1-paged PsDocument with an already created output stream and save options.
- Create an ellipse aspose.pydrawing.drawing2d.GraphicsPath from the rectangle.
- Set the paint to the current graphics state of PsDocument.
- Fill the ellipse path.
- Close the page.
- Save the document.
To stroke (outline) an ellipse the first 4 and the last 2 steps will be the same but the 5-th and 6-th one will be:
- Set stroke to the current graphics state of PsDocument.
- Stroke (outline) the ellipse.

As we can see, any shape, both closed and unclosed, can be filled or drawn by PsDocument. It can also be clipped, but it will be described in a different article.
