Class PathSegment

GoDiagram®
v10.0.8
by Northwoods Software®

A PathSegment represents a straight line or curved segment of a path between two or more points that are part of a PathFigure.

Inheritance

object

PathSegment

Namespace: Northwoods.Go

Assembly: Northwoods.GoDiagram.WinForms.dll

Syntax

public class PathSegment

Remarks

The very first point is given by the StartX and StartY properties. After the first segment the beginning point of the next segment is the same as the end point of the previous segment. For most types of PathSegments the end point of the segment is given by EndX and EndY.

A PathSegment must not be modified once its containing PathFigure's Geometry has been assigned to a Shape.

Constructors

PathSegment(SegmentType, double, double, double, double, double, double, bool)

Constructs a segment that goes nowhere unless you specify some Points.

The very first point of a path is specified in the containing PathFigure by its StartX and StartY properties.

Declaration

public PathSegment(SegmentType type = SegmentType.Line, double ex = 0, double ey = 0, double x1 = 0, double y1 = 0, double x2 = 0, double y2 = 0, bool clockwise = false)

If the type is <xref href="Northwoods.Go.SegmentType.Move?text=Move" data-throw-if-not-resolved="false"></xref> it needs the following arguments: `(SegmentType.Move, ex, ey)` - **ex, ey** describe the next starting point
double	ex	optional: the X coordinate of the end point, or the startAngle of an Arc.
double	ey	optional: the Y coordinate of the end point, or the sweepAngle of an Arc.
double	x1	optional: the X coordinate of the first bezier control point, or the centerX of an Arc, or the radiusX of an SvgArc.

double	x2	optional: the X coordinate of the second cubic bezier control point, or the radiusX of an Arc, or the xAxisRotation of an SvgArc.
double	y2	optional: the Y coordinate of the second cubic bezier control point, or the radiusY of an Arc, or whether this is the larger arc of an SvgArc.
bool	clockwise	optional: whether an SvgArc goes clockwise or counterclockwise.

Remarks

The segment type must be one of the following values: Line, Bezier, QuadraticBezier, Arc, SvgArc. You will want to add a new instance of a PathSegment to the Segments list of a PathFigure.

Properties

CenterX

Gets or sets the center X value of the Arc for a PathSegment of type Arc.

Declaration

public double CenterX { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

CenterY

Gets or sets the center Y value of the Arc for a PathSegment of type Arc.

Declaration

public double CenterY { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

EndX

Gets or sets the X coordinate of the end point for all types of PathSegment except Arc. The default value is zero.

Declaration

public double EndX { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

EndY

Gets or sets the Y coordinate of the end point for all types of PathSegment except Arc. The default value is zero.

Declaration

public double EndY { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

IsClockwiseArc

Gets or sets the clockwise-flag for a PathSegment of type SvgArc. SVG Arcs specify a radius and an endpoint, and are always a portion of an ellipse.

Declaration

public bool IsClockwiseArc { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Remarks

The parameters allow for two potential ellipses and four potential arcs. A clockwise-flag set to true will use one of the two possible positive-angle arcs, and false will use one of the two negative-angle arcs. Which arc is chosen (small or large) depends on the value of IsLargeArc. For more information see the visual examples in the SVG Arc specification (w3.org)

IsClosed

Gets or sets whether the path is closed after this PathSegment. Default value is false.

Declaration

public bool IsClosed { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsLargeArc

Declaration

public bool IsLargeArc { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Remarks

The parameters allow for two potential ellipses and four potential arcs. A large-arc-flag set to true will choose the larger of the two arc sweeps. Which way the arc sweeps (positive angle or negative angle) depends on the value of IsClockwiseArc For more information see the visual examples in the SVG Arc specification (w3.org)
