Path

class Path

Path contain geometry.

Path may be empty, or contain one or more verbs that outline a figure. Path always starts with a move verb to a Cartesian coordinate, and may be followed by additional verbs that add lines or curves. Adding a close verb makes the geometry into a continuous loop, a closed contour. Path may contain any number of contours, each beginning with a move verb.

Path contours may contain only a move verb, or may also contain lines, quadratic beziers, conics, and cubic beziers. Path contours may be open or closed.

When used to draw a filled area, Path describes whether the fill is inside or outside the geometry. Path also describes the winding rule used to fill overlapping contours.

Internally, Path lazily computes metrics likes bounds and convexity. Call Path.updateBoundsCache() to make Path thread safe.

Example:

path = skia.Path()
path.addCircle(25, 25, 10)
path.addRect((50, 60, 70, 70))

for verb, points in path:
    print(verb)

Methods

static Path.Circle(center_x: float, center_y: float, radius: float, pathDirection: skia.PathDirection = skia.PathDirection.kCW) → skia.Path

static Path.ConvertConicToQuads(p0: skia.Point, p1: skia.Point, p2: skia.Point, w: float, pow2: int) → list[skia.Point]

Approximates conic with quad array.

Conic is constructed from start Point p0, control Point p1, end Point p2, and weight w. Maximum quad count is 2 to the pow2. Every third point in array shares last Point of previous quad and first Point of next quad. Maximum possible return array size is given by: (1 + 2 * (1 << pow2)).

Conic weight determines the amount of influence conic control point has on the curve. w less than one represents an elliptical section. w greater than one represents a hyperbolic section. w equal to one represents a parabolic section.

Two quad curves are sufficient to approximate an elliptical conic with a sweep of up to 90 degrees; in this case, set pow2 to one.

Parameters:

p0 (skia.Point) – conic start Point
p1 (skia.Point) – conic control Point
p2 (skia.Point) – conic end Point
w (float) – conic weight
pow2 (int) – quad count, as power of two, normally 0 to 5 (1 to 32 quad curves)

Create a new path with the specified segments.

The points and weights arrays are read in order, based on the sequence of verbs.

Move 1 point Line 1 point Quad 2 points Conic 2 points and 1 weight Cubic 3 points Close 0 points

If an illegal sequence of verbs is encountered, or the specified number of points or weights is not sufficient given the verbs, an empty Path is returned.

A legal sequence of verbs consists of any number of Contours. A contour always begins with a Move verb, followed by 0 or more segments: Line, Quad, Conic, Cubic, followed by an optional Close.

Copy constructor makes two paths identical by value. Internally, path and the returned result share pointer values. The underlying verb array, Point array and weights are copied when modified.

Creating a Path copy is very efficient and never allocates memory. Path are always copied by value from the interface; the underlying shared pointers are not exposed.

Path.addArc(self: skia.Path, oval: skia.Rect, startAngle: float, sweepAngle: float) → skia.Path

If sweepAngle <= -360, or sweepAngle >= 360; and startAngle modulo 90 is nearly zero, append oval instead of arc. Otherwise, sweepAngle values are treated modulo 360, and arc may or may not draw depending on numeric rounding.

arcTo(self: skia.Path, x1: float, y1: float, x2: float, y2: float, radius: float) -> skia.Path

Appends arc to Path, after appending line if needed.

Arc is implemented by conic weighted to describe part of circle. Arc is contained by tangent from last Path point to (x1, y1), and tangent from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2). Arc is part of circle sized to radius, positioned so it touches both tangent lines.

If last Path Point does not start Arc, arcTo() appends connecting Line to Path. The length of Vector from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) does not affect Arc.

Arc sweep is always less than 180 degrees. If radius is zero, or if tangents are nearly parallel, arcTo() appends Line from last Path Point to (x1, y1).

Arc is implemented by one or more conics weighted to describe part of oval with radii (rx, ry) rotated by xAxisRotate degrees. Arc curves from last Path Point to (x, y), choosing one of four possible routes: clockwise or counterclockwise, and smaller or larger.

Arc sweep is always less than 360 degrees. arcTo() appends line to (x, y) if either radii are zero, or if last Path Point equals (x, y). arcTo() scales radii (rx, ry) to fit last Path Point and (x, y) if both are greater than zero but too small.

arcTo() appends up to four conic curves. arcTo() implements the functionality of SVG arc, although SVG sweep-flag value is opposite the integer value of sweep; SVG sweep-flag uses 1 for clockwise, while kCW cast to int is zero.

rx:

xAxisRotate:

Arc is implemented by one or more conic weighted to describe part of oval with radii (r.fX, r.fY) rotated by xAxisRotate degrees. Arc curves from last Path Point to (xy.fX, xy.fY), choosing one of four possible routes: clockwise or counterclockwise, and smaller or larger.

Arc sweep is always less than 360 degrees. arcTo() appends line to xy if either radii are zero, or if last Path Point equals (xy.fX, xy.fY). arcTo() scales radii r to fit last Path Point and xy if both are greater than zero but too small to describe an arc.

arcTo() appends up to four conic curves. arcTo() implements the functionality of SVG arc, although SVG sweep-flag value is opposite the integer value of sweep; SVG sweep-flag uses 1 for clockwise, while kCW cast to int is zero.

Appends arc to Path, relative to last Path Point.

Arc is implemented by one or more conic, weighted to describe part of oval with radii (rx, ry) rotated by xAxisRotate degrees.
