The Path
class creates a shape through the use of drawing methods. The Path
class has the following drawing methods available:
Like other shapes, Path
elements are created using the addShape
method of the Graphic
class. The method's cfg
argument contains a type
attribute.
Assigning "path" or Y.Path
to this attribute will create a Path
instance. After instantiation, a series of drawing
operations must be performed in order to render a shape. The below code instantiates a path element by defining the
type
attribute as "path":
var myPath = myGraphic.addShape({
type: "path",
fill: {
color: "#9aa"
},
stroke: {
weight: 1,
color: "#000"
}
});
Below a Path
element with the same properties is instantiated by defining the type
attribute with a class reference:
var myPath = myGraphic.addShape({
type: Y.Path,
fill: {
color: "#9aa"
},
stroke: {
weight: 1,
color: "#000"
}
});
After instantiation, a shape or segment needs to be drawn for an element to render. After all draw operations are performed,
the end
method will render the shape. The code below will draw a triangle:
myPath.moveTo(35, 5);
myPath.lineTo(65, 65);
myPath.lineTo(5, 65);
myPath.lineTo(35, 5);
myPath.end();
Path
has the following implementations based on browser capability.
Path
will point to the appropriate implemention.
