Creates a new path item.
Here's an example showing how to create a red line from (20,20) to (40,40):
<informalexample><programlisting> GooCanvasItem *path = goo_canvas_path_new (mygroup, "M 20 20 L 40 40", "stroke-color", "red", NULL); </programlisting></informalexample>
This example creates a cubic bezier curve from (20,100) to (100,100) with the control points at (20,50) and (100,50):
<informalexample><programlisting> GooCanvasItem *path = goo_canvas_path_new (mygroup, "M20,100 C20,50 100,50 100,100", "stroke-color", "blue", NULL); </programlisting></informalexample>
This example uses an elliptical arc to create a filled circle with one quarter missing:
<informalexample><programlisting> GooCanvasItem *path = goo_canvas_path_new (mygroup, "M200,500 h-150 a150,150 0 1,0 150,-150 z", "fill-color", "red", "stroke-color", "blue", "line-width", 5.0, NULL); </programlisting></informalexample>
parent |
the parent item, or null. If a parent is specified, it will assume ownership of the item, and the item will automatically be freed when it is removed from the parent. Otherwise call unref to free it. |
path_data |
the sequence of path commands, specified as a string using the same syntax as in the <ulink url="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)</ulink> path element. |
... |
optional pairs of property names and values, and a terminating null. |
