## Detailed Description

The path object (polylines, polygons, and generalizations).

This object represents any vector graphics. The geometry is contained in a Shape.

The filling algorithm is the even-odd rule of PDF: To determine whether a point lies inside the filled shape, draw a ray from that point in any direction, and count the number of path segments that cross the ray. If this number is odd, the point is inside; if even, the point is outside. (Path objects can also render using the winding fill rule by setting the fillRule attribute. This isn't really supported by the Ipe user interface, which doesn't show the orientation of paths.)

Reimplemented from ipe::Object.

Object::Type Path::type | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Implements ipe::Object.

void Path::setPathMode | ( | TPathMode | pm | ) |

Set whether object will be stroked and filled.

void Path::setStroke | ( | Attribute | stroke | ) |

Set stroke color.

void Path::setFill | ( | Attribute | fill | ) |

Set line join style.

void Path::setFillRule | ( | TFillRule | s | ) |

Set fill rule.

void Path::setOpacity | ( | Attribute | opaq | ) |

Set opacity of the object.

void Path::setTiling | ( | Attribute | til | ) |

Set tiling pattern of the object.

Resets gradient fill.

void Path::setGradient | ( | Attribute | grad | ) |

Set gradient fill of the object.

Resets tiling pattern.

Attribute ipe::Path::opacity | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return opacity of the opject.

Attribute ipe::Path::tiling | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return tiling pattern.

Attribute ipe::Path::gradient | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return gradient fill.

TPathMode ipe::Path::pathMode | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Is the object stroked and filled?

Attribute ipe::Path::stroke | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return stroke color.

Attribute ipe::Path::fill | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return object fill color.

Attribute ipe::Path::pen | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return object pen.

Attribute ipe::Path::dashStyle | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return object line style.

TLineCap ipe::Path::lineCap | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return line cap style.

TLineJoin ipe::Path::lineJoin | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return line join style.

TFillRule ipe::Path::fillRule | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return fill rule.

void Path::saveAsXml | ( | Stream & | stream,
|  | String | layer |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Save the object in XML format.

Implements ipe::Object.

void Path::draw | ( | Painter & | painter | ) | const`[virtual]`

Draw the object.

Implements ipe::Object.

void Path::drawSimple | ( | Painter & | painter | ) | const`[virtual]`

Draw simple version for selecting and transforming.

Implements ipe::Object.

void Path::accept | ( | Visitor & | visitor | ) | const`[virtual]`

Call visitPath of visitor.

Implements ipe::Object.

void Path::addToBBox | ( | Rect & | box,
|  | const Matrix & | m,
|  | bool | cp |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Extend box to include the object transformed by m.

For objects in a page, don't call this directly. The Page caches the bounding box of each object, so it is far more efficient to call Page::bbox.

Control points that lie outside the visual object are included if cp is true.

If called with an empty box and cp == `false`, the result of this function is a tight bounding box for the object, with a little leeway in case the boundary is determined by a spline (it has to be approximated to perform this operation).

Implements ipe::Object.

double Path::distance | ( | const Vector & | v,
|  | const Matrix & | m,
|  | double | bound |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Return distance of transformed object to point v. If larger than bound, can just return bound.

Implements ipe::Object.

void Path::snapVtx | ( | const Vector & | mouse,
|  | const Matrix & | m,
|  | Vector & | pos,
|  | double & | bound |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Compute possible vertex snapping position for transformed object.

Looks only for positions closer than bound. If successful, modify pos and bound.

Implements ipe::Object.

void Path::snapBnd | ( | const Vector & | mouse,
|  | const Matrix & | m,
|  | Vector & | pos,
|  | double & | bound |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Compute boundary snapping position for transformed object.

Looks only for positions closer than bound. If successful, modify pos and bound. The default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented from ipe::Object.

void Path::checkStyle | ( | const Cascade * | sheet,
|  | AttributeSeq & | seq |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Check all symbolic attributes.

Reimplemented from ipe::Object.

bool Path::setAttribute | ( | Property | prop,
|  | Attribute | value,
|  | Attribute | stroke,
|  | Attribute | fill |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Set an attribute on this object.

Returns true if an attribute was actually changed. The arguments stroke and fill are only used then prop is EPropPathMode, and stroking or filling is added to an object that didn't have it before.

Reimplemented from ipe::Object.

Attribute Path::getAttribute | ( | Property | prop | ) | `[virtual]`

Get setting of an attribute of this object.

If object does not have this attribute, returnes "undefined" attribute.

Reimplemented from ipe::Object.

bool ipe::Path::arrow | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Does object have an arrow?

bool ipe::Path::rArrow | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Does object have a reverse arrow?

Attribute ipe::Path::arrowShape | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

|  | Vector | pos,
|  | Angle | alpha,
|  | Attribute | shape,
|  | Attribute | size,
|  | double | radius |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`
