Detailed Description

A single element of a path.

Each element has a 'type', which determines how many Points are contained in this element. Use the subscript operator[] to access the sub-points.

Most people will rarely need access to the underlying path data, so this will not be needed very often.

Since cairomm 1.20:

cobject

using Cairo::Path::Element::cobject = cairo_path_data_t

The base C cairo type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Element()

Cairo::Path::Element::Element

(

cobject *

pData

)

Member Function Documentation

cobj() [1/2]

cobject * Cairo::Path::Element::cobj ( )

inline

Get a pointer to the base cairo type.

cobj() [2/2]

const cobject * Cairo::Path::Element::cobj ( ) const

inline

Get a const pointer to the base cairo type.

operator[]()

Point Cairo::Path::Element::operator[]

(

unsigned int

idx

)

const

You can access the datapoints that make up a path Element by using array notation.

The index is zero-based, so element[0] gives you the first point.

Exceptions

std::out_of_range

on invalid idx

size()

unsigned int Cairo::Path::Element::size

(

)

const

Get the number of points in this path element.

This is tightly coupled with the type of Path Element that it is. MOVE_TO and LINE_TO both have a single data point, CURVE_TO has three data points, and CLOSE_PATH has none.

Examples

path-iter.cc.

type()

ElementType Cairo::Path::Element::type ( ) const

inline

Gets the type of element for this path element.

Examples

path-iter.cc.
