Detailed Description
The QCanvasSpline class provides multi-bezier splines on a
QCanvas.
A QCanvasSpline is a sequence of 4-point bezier curves joined
together to make a curved shape.
You set the control points of the spline with setControlPoints().
If the bezier is closed(), then the first control point will be
re-used as the last control point. Therefore, a closed bezier must
have a multiple of 3 control points and an open bezier must have
one extra point.
The beziers are not necessarily joined "smoothly". To ensure this,
set control points appropriately (general reference texts about
beziers will explain this in detail).
Like any other canvas item splines can be moved with
QCanvasItem::move() and QCanvasItem::moveBy(), or by setting coordinates
with QCanvasItem::setX(), QCanvasItem::setY() and QCanvasItem::setZ().
See also Graphics Classes and Image Processing Classes.
Member Function Documentation
QCanvasSpline::QCanvasSpline ( QCanvas * canvas )
Create a spline with no control points on the canvas canvas.
See also setControlPoints().
QCanvasSpline::~QCanvasSpline ()
Destroy the spline.
bool QCanvasSpline::closed () const
Returns TRUE if the control points are a closed set; otherwise
returns FALSE.
QPointArray QCanvasSpline::controlPoints () const
Returns the current set of control points.
See also setControlPoints() and closed().
int QCanvasSpline::rtti () const [virtual]
Returns 8 (QCanvasItem::Rtti_Spline).
See also QCanvasItem::rtti().
Reimplemented from QCanvasPolygon.
void QCanvasSpline::setControlPoints ( QPointArray ctrl, bool close = TRUE )
Set the spline control points to ctrl.
If close is TRUE, then the first point in ctrl will be re-used
as the last point, and the number of control points must be a
multiple of 3. If close is FALSE, one additional control point
is required, and the number of control points must be one of (4, 7,
10, 13, ...).
If the number of control points doesn't meet the above conditions,
the number of points will be truncated to the largest number of points
that do meet the requirement.
Example: canvas/canvas.cpp.
