IStrokeHandler Interface

IStrokeHandler is an interface with methods to receive data about curves being stroked. CurvePrimitives emitStrokes () methods emit calls to a handler object with these methods. The various CurvePrimitive types are free to announce either single points (announcePoint), linear fragments, or fractional intervals of the parent curve.

  • handler.startCurvePrimitive (cp) -- announce the curve primitive whose strokes will follow.
  • announcePointTangent (xyz, fraction, tangent) -- announce a single point on the curve.
  • announceIntervalForUniformStepStrokes (cp, numStrokes, fraction0, fraction1) -- announce a fraction interval in which the curve can be evaluated (e.g. the handler can call cp->fractionToPointAndDerivative ())
  • announceSegmentInterval (cp, point0, point1, numStrokes, fraction0, fraction1) -- announce that the fractional interval fraction0, fraction1 is a straight line which should be broken into numStrokes strokes.
    • A LineSegment would make a single call to this.
    • A LineString would make one call to this for each of its segments, with fractions indicating position within the linestring.
  • endCurvePrimitive (cp) -- announce the end of the curve primitive.

Methods

Name Description
