Class initialization

new

Initialization of a type class is simple and only needed when the standalone functions are used.

method new ( )

Bitfields

GskPathForeachFlags

Flags that can be passed to .foreach() to influence what kinds of operations the path is decomposed into.

By default, .foreach() will only emit a path with all operations flattened to straight lines to allow for maximum compatibility. The only operations emitted will be GSK_PATH_MOVE, GSK_PATH_LINE and GSK_PATH_CLOSE.

• GSK_PATH_FOREACH_ALLOW_ONLY_LINES; The default behavior, only allow lines.

• GSK_PATH_FOREACH_ALLOW_QUAD; Allow emission of GSK_PATH_QUAD operations

• GSK_PATH_FOREACH_ALLOW_CUBIC; Allow emission of GSK_PATH_CUBIC operations.

• GSK_PATH_FOREACH_ALLOW_CONIC; Allow emission of GSK_PATH_CONIC operations.

Callback Functions

PathForeachFunc

Signature

:(  GEnum $op, N-Object $pts, Int() $n-pts, Num() $weight, gpointer $user-data  )

• op; The operation

• pts; The points of the operation

• n-pts; The number of points

• weight; The weight for conic curves, or unused if not a conic curve

• user-data; The user data provided with the function

Standalone Functions

path-parse

This is a convenience function that constructs a Gnome::Gsk4::N-Path from a serialized form.

The string is expected to be in (a superset of) [SVG path syntax](https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/paths.html#PathData), as e.g. produced by .to-string().

A high-level summary of the syntax:

• M x y` Move to `(x, y)`

• L x y` Add a line from the current point to `(x, y)`

• Q x1 y1 x2 y2` Add a quadratic Bézier from the current point to `(x2, y2)`, with control point `(x1, y1)`

• C x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3` Add a cubic Bézier from the current point to `(x3, y3)`, with control points `(x1, y1)` and `(x2, y2)`

• Z Close the contour by drawing a line back to the start point

• H x` Add a horizontal line from the current point to the given x value

• V y` Add a vertical line from the current point to the given y value

• T x2 y2` Add a quadratic Bézier, using the reflection of the previous segments' control point as control point

• S x2 y2 x3 y3` Add a cubic Bézier, using the reflection of the previous segments' second control point as first control point

• A rx ry r l s x y` Add an elliptical arc from the current point to `(x, y)` with radii rx and ry. See the SVG documentation for how the other parameters influence the arc.

• O x1 y1 x2 y2 w` Add a rational quadratic Bézier from the current point to `(x2, y2)` with control point `(x1, y1)` and weight w.

All the commands have lowercase variants that interpret coordinates relative to the current point.

The O command is an extension that is not supported in SVG.

method path-parse ( Str $string --> N-Object )

• $string; a string.

Return value; a new Gnome::Gsk4::N-Path, or undefined if $string could not be parsed.
