MuPDFCore.MuPDFRenderer Avalonia control

The PDFRenderer control contained in the MuPDFCore.MuPDFRenderer NuGet package can be used to display a document in a cross-platform Avalonia application.

To use the PDFRenderer control in an Avalonia application, first of all you need to add it to you Avalonia Window, e.g. in the XAML:

    <Window xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
            ...
            xmlns:mupdf="clr-namespace:MuPDFCore.MuPDFRenderer;assembly=MuPDFCore.MuPDFRenderer"
            Opened="WindowOpened"
            ... >
        <mupdf:PDFRenderer Name="MuPDFRenderer" />
    </Window>

You then need to initialise it from the backing code, e.g. in a WindowOpened event:

    private void WindowOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.FindControl<PDFRenderer>("MuPDFRenderer").Initialize("path/to/file.pdf");
    }

This way, the renderer will start showing the first page of the specified document, using a number of rendering threads that is decided based on the number of processors in the computer. There are many other ways to initialise a PDFRenderer, so make sure to look at the documentation to see the other possibilities!
