NAME
Graphics::Primitive::Canvas - Component composed of paths
DESCRIPTION
Graphics::Primitive::Canvas is a component for drawing arbitrary things. It holds Paths and Operations.
SYNOPSIS
use Graphics::Primitive::Canvas; my $canvas = Graphics::Primitive::Canvas->new; $canvas->move_to($point); # or just $x, $y $canvas->do($op);
DESCRIPTION
The Canvas is a container for multiple Paths. It has a path that is the operative path for all path-related methods. You can treat the Canvas as if it was a path, calling methods like line_to or move_to. When you are ready to perform an operation on the path, call the do method with the operation you want to call as an argument. Drawing a line and stroking it would look like: $canvas->move_to(0, 0); $canvas->line_to(10, 10); my $op = Graphics::Primitive::Operation::Stroke->new; $stroke->brush->color( Graphics::Color::RGB->new(red => 0, blue => 1, green => 1) ); $canvas->do($op); When you instantiate a Canvas a newly instantiated path resides in path. After you call do that current path is moved to the paths list and new path is placed in current_path. If you want to keep the path around you can call save before do then call restore to put a saved copy of the path back into path.
METHODS
Constructor new Creates a new Graphics::Primitive::Canvas Instance Methods do Given an operation, pushes the current path onto the path stack. FIXME: Example path The current path this canvas is using. path_count Count of paths in paths. paths Arrayref of hashrefs representing paths combined with their operations: [ { path => $path, op => $op }, ] restore Replace the current path by popping the top path from the saved path list. save Copy the current path and push it onto the stack of saved paths. saved_paths List of saved paths. Add to the list with save and pop from it using restore. saved_path_count Count of paths saved in saved_paths.
