GskPathBuilder
since: 4.14
Description [src]
struct GskPathBuilder {
/* No available fields */
}
An auxiliary object for constructing 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 gsk_path_builder_add_circle()
or by adding from other paths like gsk_path_builder_add_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 gsk_path_builder_move_to() 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
gsk_path_builder_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.
