"points"

Synopsis

setValue(string shape, "points", dyn_dyn_int pts);

getValue(string shape, "points", dyn_dyn_int &pts);

shape.points(dyn_dyn_int pts);

Parameters

Description

The property allows to read/write the geometrical representation of an object. Depending on the objects the returned points have a different representation, see descriptions below.

Ellipse, Circle, Arc

These object points are represented as followed:

1: center [x,y]
2: radius [x, y] in pixel from an untransformed shape.

Line

The line is represented as followed:

1,2: [x,y] starting point, end point

Primitive Text

The primitive Text is represented as followed:

1,2: [x,y] first corner, second corner.

If first corner and second corner match the fitSize option has been enabled.

Polygon and Pipe

These objects are represented as followed:

1..n [x,y] points within the polygon line

Example

Changes the existing polygon.

Whether the polygon is closed or open depends on the attribute "Close polygon" of the attribute editor.

main()
{
  dyn_dyn_int pts;
  pts[1][1]=100pts[1][2]=100;
  pts[2][1]=300;
  pts[2][2]=100;
  pts[3][1]=200;
  pts[3][2]=200;
  setValue("Polyline1", "points", pts);
}

Frame, Rectangle, Space, all remaining Widgets

These objects are represented as followed:

1,2: [x,y] first corner, second corner
