class LineSegs¶

Bases:

Bases: Namable

Encapsulates creation of a series of connected or disconnected line segments or points, for drawing paths or rays. This class doesn’t attempt to be the smartest it could possibly be; it’s intended primarily as a visualization and editing tool.

__init__()¶: Constructs a LineSegs object, which can be used to create any number of disconnected lines or points of various thicknesses and colors through the visible scene. After creating the object, call move_to() and draw_to() repeatedly to describe the path, then call create() to create a GeomNode which will render the described path.

create()¶

Creates a new GeomNode that will render the series of line segments and points described via calls to move_to() and draw_to(). The lines and points are created with the color and thickness established by calls to set_color() and set_thickness().

If dynamic is true, the line segments will be created with the dynamic Geom setting, optimizing them for runtime vertex animation.

Appends to an existing GeomNode a new Geom that will render the series of line segments and points described via calls to move_to() and draw_to(). The lines and points are created with the color and thickness established by calls to set_color() and set_thickness().

If dynamic is true, the line segments will be created with the dynamic Geom setting, optimizing them for runtime vertex animation.

draw_to()¶

Draws a line segment from the pen’s last position (the last call to move_to() or draw_to) to the indicated point. move_to() and draw_to() only update tables; the actual drawing is performed when create() is called.

get_current_position()¶: Returns the pen’s current position. The next call to draw_to() will draw a line segment from this point.

get_num_vertices()¶

Functions to move the line vertices after they have been created.

Returns the total number of line segment and point vertices generated by the last call to create(). The positions of these vertices may be read and adjusted through get_vertex() and set_vertex().

get_vertex()¶: Returns the nth point or vertex of the line segment sequence generated by the last call to create(). The first move_to() generates vertex 0; subsequent move_to() and draw_to() calls generate consecutively higher vertex numbers.

get_vertex_color()¶: Returns the color of the nth point or vertex.

get_vertex_colors() → list¶

get_vertices() → list¶

is_empty()¶: Returns true if move_to() or draw_to() have not been called since the last reset() or create(), false otherwise.

move_to()¶

Moves the pen to the given point without drawing a line. When followed by draw_to(), this marks the first point of a line segment; when followed by move_to() or create(), this creates a single point.

reset()¶: Removes any lines in progress and resets to the initial empty state.

set_color()¶

Establishes the color that will be assigned to all vertices created by future calls to move_to() and draw_to().

set_thickness()¶: Establishes the line thickness or point size in pixels that will be assigned to all lines and points created by future calls to create().

set_vertex()¶

Moves the nth point or vertex of the line segment sequence generated by the last call to create(). The first move_to() generates vertex 0; subsequent move_to() and draw_to() calls generate consecutively higher vertex numbers.

set_vertex_color()¶

Changes the vertex color of the nth point or vertex. See set_vertex().
