CairoContext::copyPathFlat

(PECL cairo >= 0.1.0)

Gets a flattened copy of the current path

public CairoPath CairoContext::copyPathFlat ( void )

Object oriented style (method):

Procedural style:

CairoPath cairo_copy_path_flat ( CairoContext $context )

Gets a flattened copy of the current path and returns it to the user as a CairoPath.

This function is like CairoContext::copyPath() except that any curves in the path will be approximated with piecewise-linear approximations, (accurate to within the current tolerance value). That is, the result is guaranteed to not have any elements of type CAIRO_PATH_CURVE_TO which will instead be replaced by a series of CAIRO_PATH_LINE_TO elements.

Parameters:

context

A CairoContext object

Returns:

A copy of the current path

Examples:

Object oriented style

<?php
 
$surface = new CairoImageSurface(CairoFormat::ARGB32, 50, 50);
 
$context = new CairoContext($surface);
 
var_dump($context->copyPathFlat());
 
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

object(CairoPath)#3 (0) {
}

Procedural style

<?php
 
$surface = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 50, 50);
 
$context = cairo_create($surface);
 
var_dump(cairo_copy_path_flat($context));
 
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

object(CairoPath)#3 (0) {
}
