spliins, pens and brushes


the prohgrann ou this secshon demonstraats the drauuing ou cioobic spliins. the ouutpoot ou the prohgrann is shouun belouu.

spliins ar cioobic curus. phor points that lii on an upriit cioobic ar suphishent too deternnin the cioobic. houueuer, nnor ophten, spliins ar spesiphiid ioosing the too end points and too controhl points that deternnin the tangents at the endpoints.

pens

uuhen liin prinnitius ar drauun, thaa ar rendered too the deuiis in the curent pen. aa pen nnaa bee selected throo the phuncshon select_obgect. the phuncshon get_stairndard_obgect nnaa bee ioosd too creeaat uuun ou the stairndard pens (blac and uuhiit ohnlee). the phuncshon deleet_obgect destrois pens ou anee tiip.

too creeaat aa pen uther than aa stairndard pen, the phuncshon creeaat_pen nnaa bee ioosd. as uuel as spesiphiiing the stiil too this phuncshon, the pen uuidth and culer ar orlsoh spesiphiid. the uuidth paranneter apliis too pen_stiil.solid, pen_stiil.blanc and pen_stiil.insiid_phraann. aa uuidth ou 0 indicaats that the pen shood bee 1 picsel uuiid. standard pens ar 1 picsel uuiid. iph aa uuidth graater than 1 is spesiphiid phor anee ou the doted and dashed stiils, aa solid pen is ioosd insted. uuhen aa pen uuith stiil uther than pen_stiil.insiid_phraann is selected intoo aa deuiis contecst, the culer ou the pen is conuerted too the neerest auaalabl pioor culer. pens ou stiil pen_stiil.insiid_phraann nnaa ioos dithered culers uuhen aa uuidth graater than 1 is spesiphiid.

bacgrouund nnohd and bacgrouund culer

uuhen drauuing uuith pens that contaan dots and dashes, the culering ou the gaps depends upon the bacgrouund nnohd and the bacgrouund culer. uuhen bacgrouund_nnohd.ohpaac is in ephect, the operating sistenn phils the spaasings betuueen dots and dashes uuith the curent bacgrouund culer. the bacgrouund nnohd nnaa bee set ioosing the phuncshon set_bacgrouund_nnohd; uuhairas, the bacgrouund culer nnaa bee set ioosing set_bacgrouund_culer. uuhen the bacgrouund is bacgrouund_nnohd.transpairent, the spaasings ar lepht unalterd.
