Detailed Description

The Fill class is a high level class used to fill in a Path.

A fill is set on the current graphics context, and then a path is drawn.

Fill* myFill = new MyFill();
GraphicsContext* ctx = getSomeGraphiceContext();//imaginary function to get a graphics context

Path* path = getSomePath();//imaginary function to get a path

//sets the fill
ctx->setCurrrentFill( myFill );

//draws the path!
ctx->draw( path );

delete myFill;
delete path;

See the StrokesAndFills example (in vcf/examples/StrokesAndFills ) for a more complete example of this.

The interface is quite simple, and more concrete details are completely up to the implement of the interface.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void VCF::Fill::render (  Path *  path  )  [pure virtual]

renders the fill using the current path. The fill can retrieve the points for the path by calling either Path::getPoints() or Path::flattenPoints(). Implemented in VCF::BasicFill, VCF::GradientFill, and VCF::ShadowFill.

virtual void VCF::Fill::setContext (  GraphicsContext *  context  )  [pure virtual]

sets the context for the fill. The GraphicsContext will call this when the GraphicsContext::setCurrrentFill() method is called. Implemented in VCF::BasicFill, VCF::GradientFill, and VCF::ShadowFill.
