## Detailed Description

Interface for drawing.

Painter-derived classes are used for drawing to the screen and for generating PDF and Postscript output.

The Painter maintains a stack of graphics states, which includes stroke and fill color, line width, dash style, miter limit, line cap and line join. It also maintains a separate stack of transformation matrices. The Painter class takes care of maintaining the stacks, and setting of the attributes in the current graphics state.

Setting an attribute with a symbolic value is resolved immediately using the stylesheet Cascade attached to the Painter, so calling the stroke() or fill() methods of Painter will return the current absolute color.

It's okay to set symbolic attributes that the stylesheet does not define - they are set to a default absolute value (black, solid, etc.).

The painter is either in "general" or in "path construction" mode. The newPath() member starts path construction mode. In this mode, only the path construction operators (moveTo, lineTo, curveTo, rect, drawArc, closePath), the transformation operators (transform, untransform, translate), and the matrix stack operators (pushMatrix, popMatrix) are admissible. The path is drawn using drawPath, this ends path construction mode. Path construction operators cannot be used in general mode.

The graphics state for a path must be set before starting path construction mode, that is, before calling newPath().

Derived classes need to implement the doXXX functions for drawing paths, images, and texts. The transformation matrix has already been applied to the coordinates passed to the doXXX functions.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Painter::Painter | ( | const Cascade * | style | ) |

Constructor takes a (cascaded) style sheet, which is not owned.

The initial graphics state contains all default attributes.

Painter::~Painter | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

void Painter::transform | ( | const Matrix & | m | ) |

Concatenate a matrix to current transformation matrix.

void Painter::untransform | ( | TTransformations | trans | ) |

Reset transformation to original one, but with different origin/direction.

This changes the current transformation matrix to the one set before the first push operation, but maintaining the current origin. Only the operations allowed in allowed are applied.

void Painter::translate | ( | const Vector & | v | ) |

Concatenate a translation to current transformation matrix.

void Painter::push | ( |  | ) |

Save current graphics state.

Cannot be called in path construction mode.

void Painter::pop | ( |  | ) |

Restore previous graphics state.

Cannot be called in path construction mode.

void Painter::pushMatrix | ( |  | ) |

Save current transformation matrix.

void Painter::popMatrix | ( |  | ) |

Restore previous transformation matrix.

void Painter::newPath | ( |  | ) |

Enter path construction mode.

void Painter::moveTo | ( | const Vector & | v | ) |

Start a new subpath.

void Painter::lineTo | ( | const Vector & | v | ) |

Add line segment to current subpath.

void Painter::curveTo | ( | const Vector & | v1,
|  | const Vector & | v2,
|  | const Vector & | v3 |
| ) |  |  |

Add a Bezier segment to current subpath.

void ipe::Painter::curveTo | ( | const Bezier & | bezier | ) | `[inline]`

Overloaded function.

Assumes current position is `bezier.iV`[0]

void Painter::rect | ( | const Rect & | re | ) |

Add a rectangle subpath to the path.

This is implemented in terms of moveTo() and lineTo().

void ipe::Painter::drawEllipse | ( |  | ) |

Assumes the current point is arc.beginp().

void Painter::closePath | ( |  | ) |

Close the current subpath.

void Painter::drawPath | ( | TPathMode | mode | ) |

As in PDF, a "path" can consist of several subpaths. Whether it is filled or stroked depends on mode.

Assumes the transformation matrix has been set up to map the unit square to the image area on the paper.

Stroke color is already set, and the origin is the lower-left corner of the text box (not the reference point!).

void Painter::drawSymbol | ( | Attribute | symbol | ) |

Render a symbol.

The current coordinate system is already the symbol coordinate system. If the symbol is parameterized, then sym-stroke, sym-fill, and sym-pen are already set.

void Painter::drawArcAsBezier | ( | double | alpha | ) | `[protected]`

Draw an arc of the unit circle of length alpha.

PDF does not have an "arc" or "circle" primitive, so to draw an arc, circle, or ellipse, Ipe has to translate it into a sequence of Bezier curves.

The approximation is based on the following: The unit circle arc from (1,0) to (cos a, sin a) be approximated by a Bezier spline with control points (1, 0), (1, beta) and their mirror images along the line with slope a/2, where beta = 4.0 * (1.0 - cos(a/2)) / (3 * sin(a/2))

Ipe draws circles by drawing four Bezier curves for the quadrants, and arcs by patching together quarter circle approximations with a piece computed from the formula above.

alpha is normalized to [0, 2 pi], and applied starting from the point (1,0).

The function generates a sequence of Bezier splines as calls to curveTo. It is assumed that the caller has already executed a moveTo to the beginning of the arc at (1,0).

This function may modify the transformation matrix.
