Make gsk_path_builder_add_rect always
produce a clockwise rectangle. This matches
what we do for circles and rounded rects,
which also go clockwise. Note that we
still need to allow negative widths in
the contour code, to implement reverse().
Add a contour that optimizes some things for
rectangles. Also add rectangle detection to the
path parser, and add tests similar to what we
have for the other special contours.
This special contour takes advantage of its
rounded-rect-ness for speeding up bounding
boxes and winding numbers. It falls back
to the standard contour code for everything
else.
Arcs were appealing, but they have a fatal flaw: we can't
split our arcs without changing the ellipse they trace.
That could be fixed by adding an extra parameter, but then
it is no longer any better than conics.
So switch back to conics, which have the advantage that they
are used elsewhere.
Add a new curve type for elliptical arcs
and use it for rounded rectangles and circles.
We use the 'E' command to represent elliptical
arcs in serialized paths.
We must be careful with single-point contours
that contain just a move. These never occur in
practice, but our randomized tests produce them
regularly.
This commit adds the basic infrastructure for paths.
The public APIs consists of GskPath, GskPathPoint and
GskPathBuilder.
GskPath is a data structure for paths that consists
of contours, which in turn might contain Bézier curves.
The Bezier data structure is inspired by Skia, with separate
arrays for points and operations. One advantage of this
arrangement is that start and end points are shared
between adjacent curves.
A GskPathPoint represents a point on a path, which can
be queried for various properties.
GskPathBuilder is an auxiliary builder object for paths.
