GskPathPointget_tangent

Declaration [src]

void
gsk_path_point_get_tangent (
  const GskPathPoint* point,
  GskPath* path,
  GskPathDirection direction,
  graphene_vec2_t* tangent
)

Description [src]

Gets the tangent of the path at the point.

Note that certain points on a path may not have a single tangent, such as sharp turns. At such points, there are two tangents — the direction of the path going into the point, and the direction coming out of it. The direction argument lets you choose which one to get.

If the path is just a single point (e.g. a circle with radius zero), then the tangent is set to 0, 0.

If you want to orient something in the direction of the path, gsk_path_point_get_rotation() may be more convenient to use.

Available since: 4.14

Parameters

path

Type: GskPath

The path that point is on.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
direction

Type: GskPathDirection

The direction for which to return the tangent.

tangent

Type: graphene_vec2_t

Return location for the tangent at the point.

The argument will be set by the function.
The returned data is owned by the instance.
