Graphics::Primitive::Canvas(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Graphics::Primitive::Canvas(3)

Graphics::Primitive::Canvas - Component composed of paths

Graphics::Primitive::Canvas is a component for drawing arbitrary things. It holds Paths and Operations.

  use Graphics::Primitive::Canvas;

  my $canvas = Graphics::Primitive::Canvas->new;
  $canvas->move_to($point); # or just $x, $y
  $canvas->do($op);

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.

new
Creates a new Graphics::Primitive::Canvas

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.
