goocanvas.Path Properties

"data"WriteThe sequence of path commands, specified as a string using the same syntax as in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) path element. Default value: NULL.

Implemented Interfaces

goocanvas.Path implements goocanvas.Item

Description

goocanvas.Path represents a path item, which is a series of one or more lines, bezier curves, or elliptical arcs. It is a subclass of goocanvas.ItemSimple and so inherits all of the style properties such as "stroke-color", "fill-color" and "line-width". It also implements the goocanvas.Item interface, so you can use the goocanvas.Item functions such as goocanvas.Item.raise_() and goocanvas.Item.rotate()goocanvas.Path uses the same path specification strings as the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) path element. For details see the SVG Specification To respond to events such as mouse clicks on the path you must connect to the signal handlers of the corresponding goocanvas.PathView object. (See goocanvas.CanvasView.get_item_view() and goocanvas.CanvasView signal "item-view-created")

Constructor

    goocanvas.Path(properties=None)

properties :

A comma separated list of properties.

Returns :

A new goocanvas.Path

Creates a new canvas path item.

Here's an example showing how to create a red line from (20,20) to (40,40): 

	path = goocanvas.Path(data="M 20 20 L 40 40", stroke_color="red")

This example creates a cubic bezier curve from (20,100) to (100,100) with the control points at (20,50) and (100,50): 

	path = goocanvas.Path(data="M20,100 C20,50 100,50 100,100", stroke_color="blue")

This example uses an elliptical arc to create a filled circle with one quarter missing: 

	path = goocanvas.Path(data="M200,500 h-150 a150,150 0 1,0 150,-150 z", fill_color="red", stroke_color="blue", line_width=5.0,)
