Class PathBuilder

org.javagi.base.ProxyInstance

org.gnome.gsk.PathBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Proxy

@Generated("org.javagi.JavaGI")
public class PathBuilder
extends ProxyInstance

Constructs GskPath objects.

A path is constructed like this:

GskPath *
construct_path (void)
{
  GskPathBuilder *builder;

  builder = gsk_path_builder_new ();

  // add contours to the path here

  return gsk_path_builder_free_to_path (builder);

Adding contours to the path can be done in two ways. The easiest option is to use the gsk_path_builder_add_* group of functions that add predefined contours to the current path, either common shapes like addCircle(Point, float) or by adding from other paths like addPath(Path).

The gsk_path_builder_add_* methods always add complete contours, and do not use or modify the current point.

The other option is to define each line and curve manually with the gsk_path_builder_*_to group of functions. You start with a call to moveTo(float, float) to set the starting point and then use multiple calls to any of the drawing functions to move the pen along the plane. Once you are done, you can call close() to close the path by connecting it back with a line to the starting point.

This is similar to how paths are drawn in Cairo.

Note that GskPathBuilder will reduce the degree of added Bézier curves as much as possible, to simplify rendering.

Parameters:

path - a path

Since:

4.14

addCircle

public void addCircle(Point center,
 float radius)

Adds a circle as a new contour.

The path is going around the circle in clockwise direction.

Parameters:

center - the center of the circle

radius - the radius of the circle

4.14

addLayout

public void addLayout(Layout layout)

Adds the outlines for the glyphs in layout to the builder.

Appends all of path to the builder.

Parameters:

path - the path to append

Since:

4.14

addRect

public void addRect(Rect rect)

Adds a rectangle as a new contour.

The path is going around the rectangle in clockwise direction.

If the the width or height are 0, the path will be a closed horizontal or vertical line. If both are 0, it'll be a closed dot.

Parameters:

rect - the rectangle to create a path for

Since:

4.14

addReversePath

public void addReversePath(Path path)

Appends all of path to the builder, in reverse order.

Parameters:

Parameters:

rect - the rounded rect

Since:

4.14

addSegment

public void addSegment(Path path,
 PathPoint start,
 PathPoint end)

Adds a segment of a path to the builder.

If start is equal to or after end, the path will first add the segment from start to the end of the path, and then add the segment from the beginning to end. If the path is closed, these segments will be connected.

Note that this method always adds a path with the given start point and end point. To add a closed path, use addPath(Path).

Parameters:

path - the path to take the segment to

start - the point on path to start at

end - the point on path to end at

Since:

4.14

arcTo

public void arcTo(float x1,
 float y1,
 float x2,
 float y2)

Adds an elliptical arc from the current point to x2, y2 with x1, y1 determining the tangent directions.

After this, x2, y2 will be the new current point.

Note: Two points and their tangents do not determine a unique ellipse, so GSK just picks one. If you need more precise control, use conicTo(float, float, float, float, float) or svgArcTo(float, float, float, boolean, boolean, float, float).

Parameters:

x1 - x coordinate of first control point

y1 - y coordinate of first control point

x2 - x coordinate of second control point

y2 - y coordinate of second control point

Since:

4.14

close

public void close()

Ends the current contour with a line back to the start point.

Note that this is different from calling lineTo(float, float) with the start point in that the contour will be closed. A closed contour behaves differently from an open one. When stroking, its start and end point are considered connected, so they will be joined via the line join, and not ended with line caps.

Since:

4.14

conicTo

public void conicTo(float x1,
 float y1,
 float x2,
 float y2,
 float weight)

Adds a conic curve from the current point to x2, y2 with the given weight and x1, y1 as the control point.

The weight determines how strongly the curve is pulled towards the control point. A conic with weight 1 is identical to a quadratic Bézier curve with the same points.

Conic curves can be used to draw ellipses and circles. They are also known as rational quadratic Bézier curves.

After this, x2, y2 will be the new current point.

Parameters:

x1 - x coordinate of control point

y1 - y coordinate of control point

x2 - x coordinate of the end of the curve

y2 - y coordinate of the end of the curve

weight - weight of the control point, must be greater than zero

Parameters:

x1 - x coordinate of first control point

y1 - y coordinate of first control point

the current point
