Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static RMPath	appendOval(RMPath aPath, RMRect aRect, float startAngle, float sweep, boolean connect)	Adds elements describing an oval in the given rect to this path.
static RMPath	appendShape(RMPath aPath, Shape aShape)	Returns a new path from an AWT shape.
static double	getDistance(RMPath aPath, RMPoint aPoint)	Returns shortest distance from any point in path to given point.
static double	getDistanceSigned(RMPath aPath, RMPoint aPoint)	Returns shortest distance from any point in path to given point (negative means inside the path).
static RMPath	getPathFlattened(RMPath aPath)	Returns a path with only moveto, lineto.
static RMPath	getPathWithFlattendCubics(RMPath aPath)	Returns a copy of the path with cubics demoted to one or more quadratics.
static boolean	hasCubics(RMPath aPath)	Returns whether the path has any cubic curves in it.
static boolean	isClosed(RMPath aPath)	Returns whether given path has any open subpaths.
static boolean	isPolygonal(RMPath aPath)	Returns whether path has any curve segments (QuadTo, CurveTo).
static RMPath	join(List paths, int aJoinOp)	Returns the combined paths from given paths.
static void	quadraticCurveTo(RMPath aPath, RMPoint cp1, RMPoint cp2, RMPoint aPoint)	This is effectively a curveTo but does it internally with one or more approximated quadratics.

Method Details

appendShape

public static RMPath appendShape(RMPath aPath,
 Shape aShape)

Returns a new path from an AWT shape.

appendOval

public static RMPath appendOval(RMPath aPath,
 RMRect aRect,
 float startAngle,
 float sweep,
 boolean connect)

Adds elements describing an oval in the given rect to this path.

isClosed

public static boolean isClosed(RMPath aPath)

Returns whether given path has any open subpaths.

isPolygonal

public static boolean isPolygonal(RMPath aPath)

Returns whether path has any curve segments (QuadTo, CurveTo).

hasCubics

public static boolean hasCubics(RMPath aPath)

Returns whether the path has any cubic curves in it.

getPathFlattened

public static RMPath getPathFlattened(RMPath aPath)

Returns a path with only moveto, lineto.

getPathWithFlattendCubics

public static RMPath getPathWithFlattendCubics(RMPath aPath)

Returns a copy of the path with cubics demoted to one or more quadratics.

quadraticCurveTo

public static void quadraticCurveTo(RMPath aPath,
 RMPoint cp1,
 RMPoint cp2,
 RMPoint aPoint)

This is effectively a curveTo but does it internally with one or more approximated quadratics. I found a C++ version of this on http://homepages.tig.com.au/~dkl/swf/ - Jeff Martin. It illustrates how to approximate 4-point cubic Beziers with 3-point quadratic Beziers. PostScript (and most apps) use cubics, Flash uses quadratics.

getDistance

public static double getDistance(RMPath aPath,
 RMPoint aPoint)

Returns shortest distance from any point in path to given point.

getDistanceSigned

public static double getDistanceSigned(RMPath aPath,
 RMPoint aPoint)

Returns shortest distance from any point in path to given point (negative means inside the path).

join

public static RMPath join(List paths,
 int aJoinOp)

Returns the combined paths from given paths.
