Detailed Description

A path defining a shape.

A painter path represents a (complex) path that may be composed of lines, arcs and bezier curve segments, and painted onto a paint device using WPainter::drawPath().

The path that is composed in a painter path may consist of multiple closed sub-paths. Only the last sub-path can be left open.

To compose a path, this class maintains a current position, which is the starting point for the next drawing operation. An operation may draw a line (see lineTo()), arc (see arcTo()), or bezier curve (see quadTo() and cubicTo()) from the current position to a new position. A new sub path may be started by moving the current position to a new location (see moveTo()), which automatically closes the previous sub path.

When sub paths overlap, the result is undefined (it is dependent on the underlying painting device).

Usage example:

Wt::WPainter painter(...);
Wt::WPainterPath path(Wt::WPointF(10, 10));
path.lineTo(10, 20);
path.lineTo(30, 20);
path.closeSubPath();
painter.setPen(Wt::red);
painter.setBrush(Wt::blue);
painter.drawPath(path);

JavaScript exposability

A WPainterPath is JavaScript exposable. If a WPainterPath is JavaScript bound, it can be accessed in your custom JavaScript code through its handle's jsRef().

A WPainterPath is represented in JavaScript as an array of segments, where each segment is defined by a three element array: [x,y,type], where type is the integer representation of the type of a segment.

For example, a 10 by 10 square with the top left at (10,10) is represented as:

[
 [10,10,0], // move to (10,10)
 [20,10,1], // line to (20,10)
 [20,20,1], // line to (20,20)
 [10,20,1], // line to (10,20)
 [10,10,1]  // line to (10,10)
]

Warning: A WPainterPath that is JavaScript exposed should be modified only through its handle. Any attempt at modifying it will cause an exception to be thrown.

Member Function Documentation

void Wt::WPainterPath::addEllipse ( const WRectF & boundingRectangle )

This method closes the current sub path, and adds an ellipse that is bounded by the rectangle boundingRectangle.

Note: some renderers only support circles (width == height)

Exceptions

WException if the path is JavaScript bound

See also: addEllipse(double, double, double, double), arcTo()

void Wt::WPainterPath::addEllipse	(	double	x,

Exceptions

WException if the path is JavaScript bound

See also: moveTo(), lineTo()

void Wt::WPainterPath::addRect ( const WRectF & rectangle )

		double	y,
		double	width,
		double	height,

void Wt::WPainterPath::arcTo	(	double	cx,
		double	cy,
		double	radius,

Draws an arc which is a segment of a circle. The circle is defined with center (cx, cy) and radius. The segment starts at startAngle, and spans an angle given by spanAngle. These angles are expressed in degrees, and are measured counter-clockwise starting from the 3 o'clock position.

Implicitly draws a line from the current position to the start of the arc, if the current position is different from the start.

Exceptions

WException if the path is JavaScript bound

void Wt::WPainterPath::connectPath ( const WPainterPath & path )

Adds a path, connecting.

Adds an entire path to the current path. If the path's begin position is different from the current position, the last sub path is first closed, unless open subpaths are enabled, otherwise the last sub path is extended with the path's first sub path.
