Path Class

  • A Path object is a collection of curves that join head-to-tail to form a path.
  • A Path object does not bound a planar region. Use Loop to indicate region bounding.

Methods

Name Description
constructor(): Path Construct an empty path.  
announceToCurveProcessor(processor: RecursiveCurveProcessor, indexInParent: number = -1): void invoke processor.announcePath(this, indexInParent)  
cloneEmptyPeer(): Path Clone as a new Path with no primitives  
cloneStroked(options?: StrokeOptions): AnyCurve Return a deep copy, with leaf-level curve primitives stroked.  
dgnBoundaryType(): number Return the boundary type (1) of a corresponding MicroStation CurveVector  
dispatchToGeometryHandler(handler: GeometryHandler): any Second step of double dispatch: call handler.handlePath(this)  
isSameGeometryClass(other: GeometryQuery): boolean Test if other is an instance of Path  
create(...curves: Array<CurvePrimitive | Point3d[]>): Path Static Create a path from a variable length list of curve primitives  
createArray(curves: CurvePrimitive[]): Path Static Create a path from a an array of curve primitives
