Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static double	floatMultiplier	Since the clipper library uses integer coordinates, we should convert our floating point numbers into fixed point numbers by multiplying by this coefficient.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static List<Subpath>	addPath(ClipperOffset offset, Path path, IClipper.JoinType joinType, IClipper.EndType endType)	Adds all iText Subpaths of the iText Path to the ClipperOffset object with one note: it doesn't add degenerate subpaths.

Field Details

floatMultiplier

 public static double floatMultiplier 
            

Since the clipper library uses integer coordinates, we should convert our floating point numbers into fixed point numbers by multiplying by this coefficient. Vary it to adjust the preciseness of the calculations.

Method Details

convertToPath

 public static Path convertToPath 
             (PolyTree result) 
            

Converts Clipper library PolyTree abstraction into iText Path object.

Parameters:

result - PolyTree object to convert

Returns:

resultant Path object

addPath

 public static void addPath 
             (IClipper clipper, Path path, IClipper.PolyType polyType) 
            

Adds iText Path to the given IClipper object.

Parameters:

clipper - The IClipper object.

path - The Path object to be added to the IClipper.

polyType - See IClipper.PolyType.

addPath

 public static List<Subpath> addPath 
             (ClipperOffset offset, Path path, IClipper.JoinType joinType, IClipper.EndType endType) 
            

Adds all iText Subpaths of the iText Path to the ClipperOffset object with one note: it doesn't add degenerate subpaths.

Parameters:

offset - the ClipperOffset object to add all iText Subpaths that are not degenerated.

path - Path object, containing the required Subpaths

joinType - IClipper join type. The value could be IClipper.JoinType.BEVEL, IClipper.JoinType.ROUND, IClipper.JoinType.MITER

endType - IClipper end type. The value could be IClipper.EndType.CLOSED_POLYGON, IClipper.EndType.CLOSED_LINE, IClipper.EndType.OPEN_BUTT, IClipper.EndType.OPEN_SQUARE, IClipper.EndType.OPEN_ROUND

Returns:

List consisting of all degenerate iText Subpaths of the path.

convertToFloatPoints

 public static List<Point> convertToFloatPoints 
             (List<Point.LongPoint> points) 
            

Converts list of Point.LongPoint objects into list of Point objects.

Parameters:

points - the list of Point.LongPoint objects to convert

Returns:

the resultant list of Point objects.

convertToLongPoints

 public static List<Point.LongPoint> convertToLongPoints 
             (List<Point> points) 
            

Converts list of Point objects into list of Point.LongPoint objects.

Parameters:

points - the list of Point objects to convert

Returns:

the resultant list of Point.LongPoint objects.

getJoinType

 public static IClipper.JoinType getJoinType 
             (int lineJoinStyle) 
            

Converts iText line join style constant into the corresponding constant of the Clipper library.

Parameters:

lineJoinStyle - iText line join style constant. See PdfCanvasConstants

Returns:

Clipper line join style constant.

getEndType

 public static IClipper.EndType getEndType 
             (int lineCapStyle)

addPolygonToClipper

 public static boolean addPolygonToClipper 
             (IClipper clipper, Point[] polyVertices, IClipper.PolyType polyType) 
            

Adds polygon path based on array of Point (internally converting them by convertToLongPoints(java.util.List)) and adds this path to IClipper instance, treating the path as a closed polygon.

The return value will be false if the path is invalid for clipping. A path is invalid for clipping when:

• it has less than 3 vertices;
• the vertices are all co-linear.

Parameters:

clipper - IClipper instance to which the created polygon path will be added.

polyVertices - an array of Point which will be internally converted to clipper path and added to the clipper instance.

polyType - either IClipper.PolyType.SUBJECT or IClipper.PolyType.CLIP denoting whether added path is a subject of clipping or a part of the clipping polygon.

Returns:

true if polygon path was successfully added, false otherwise.

addPolylineSubjectToClipper

 public static boolean addPolylineSubjectToClipper 
             (IClipper clipper, Point[] lineVertices) 
            

Adds polyline path based on array of Point (internally converting them by convertToLongPoints(java.util.List)) and adds this path to IClipper instance, treating the path as a polyline (an open path in terms of clipper library). This path is added to the subject of future clipping. Polylines cannot be part of clipping polygon.

The return value will be false if the path is invalid for clipping. A path is invalid for clipping when:

• it has less than 2 vertices;

Parameters:

clipper - IClipper instance to which the created polyline path will be added.

lineVertices - an array of Point which will be internally converted to clipper path and added to the clipper instance.

Returns:

true if polyline path was successfully added, false otherwise.
