PathKit - Geometry in the Browser
=============================
Skia has made its [SkPath](../api/SkPath_Reference) object and many related methods
available to JS clients (e.g. Web Browsers) using WebAssembly and asm.js.
Features
--------
PathKit is still under rapid development, so the exact API is subject to change.
The primary features are:
- API compatibility (e.g. drop-in replacement) with [Path2D](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Path2D)
- Can output to SVG / Canvas / Path2D
- Exposes a variety of path effects:
<style>
canvas.patheffect {
border: 1px dashed #AAA;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
</style>
<div id=effects>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvas1 title="Plain: A drawn star with overlapping solid lines"></canvas>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvas2 title="Dash: A drawn star with overlapping dashed lines"></canvas>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvas3 title="Trim: A portion of a drawn star with overlapping solid lines"></canvas>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvas4 title="Simplify: A drawn star with non-overlapping solid lines."></canvas>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvas5 title="Stroke: A drawn star with non-overlapping solid lines stroked at various thicknesses and with square edges"></canvas>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvas6 title="Grow: A drawn star's expanding outline"></canvas>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvas7 title="Shrink: A solid drawn star shrunk down"></canvas>
<canvas class=patheffect id=canvasTransform title="Transform: A drawn star moved and rotated by an Affine Matrix"></canvas>
</div>

Example Code
------------
The best place to look for examples on how to use PathKit would be in the
[example.html](https://github.com/google/skia/blob/master/modules/pathkit/npm-wasm/example.html#L45),
which comes in the npm package.
Download the library
--------------------
See the the npm page for either the [WebAssembly](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pathkit-wasm) version
or the [asm.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pathkit-asmjs) version
for details on downloading and getting started.
WebAssembly has faster load times and better overall performance but is
currently supported by Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
The asm.js version should run anywhere JavaScript does.
API
----
The primary feature of the library is the `SkPath` object. It can be created:
- From the SVG string of a path `PathKit.FromSVGString(str)`
- From a 2D array of verbs and arguments `PathKit.FromCmds(cmds)`
- From `PathKit.NewPath()` (It will be blank)
- As a copy of an existing `SkPath` with `path.copy()` or `PathKit.NewPath(path)`
It can be exported as:
- An SVG string `path.toSVGString()`
- A [Path2D](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Path2D) object `path.toPath2D()`
- Directly to a canvas 2D context `path.toCanvas(ctx)`
- A 2D array of verbs and arguments `path.toCmds()`
Once an SkPath object has been made, it can be interacted with in the following ways:
- expanded by any of the Path2D operations (`moveTo`, `lineTo`, `rect`, `arc`, etc)
- combined with other paths using `op` or `PathKit.MakeFromOp(p1, p2, op)`. For example, `path1.op(path2, PathKit.PathOp.INTERSECT)` will set path1 to be the area represented by where path1 and path2 overlap (intersect). `PathKit.MakeFromOp(path1, path2, PathKit.PathOp.INTERSECT)` will do the same but returned as a new `SkPath` object.
- adjusted with some of the effects (`trim`, `dash`, `stroke`, etc)
**Important**: Any objects (`SkPath`, `SkOpBuilder`, etc) that are created must be cleaned up with `path.delete()` when they
leave the scope to avoid leaking the memory in the WASM heap. This includes any of the constructors, `copy()`,
or any function prefixed with "make".
### PathKit ###
#### `FromSVGString(str)` ####
**str** - `String` representing an [SVGPath](https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/svg_path.asp)
Returns an `SkPath` with the same verbs and arguments as the SVG string, or `null` on a failure.
Example:
let path = PathKit.FromSVGString('M150 0 L75 200 L225 200 Z');
// path represents a triangle
// don't forget to do path.delete() when it goes out of scope.
#### `FromCmds(cmds)` ####
**cmds** - `Array<Array<Number>>`, a 2D array of commands, where a command is a verb
followed by its arguments.
Returns an `SkPath` with the verbs and arguments from the list or `null` on a failure.
This can be faster than calling `.moveTo()`, `.lineTo()`, etc many times.
Example:
let cmds = [
[PathKit.MOVE_VERB, 0, 10],
[PathKit.LINE_VERB, 30, 40],
[PathKit.QUAD_VERB, 20, 50, 45, 60],
];
let path = PathKit.FromCmds(cmds);
// path is the same as if a user had done
// let path = PathKit.NewPath().moveTo(0, 10).lineTo(30, 40).quadTo(20, 50, 45, 60);
// don't forget to do path.delete() when it goes out of scope.
#### `NewPath()` ####
Returns an empty `SkPath` object.
Example:
let path = PathKit.NewPath();
path.moveTo(0, 10)
.lineTo(30, 40)
.quadTo(20, 50, 45, 60);
// don't forget to do path.delete() when it goes out of scope.
// Users can also do let path = new PathKit.SkPath();
#### `NewPath(pathToCopy)` ####
**pathToCopy** - SkPath, a path to make a copy of.
Returns a `SkPath` that is a copy of the passed in `SkPath`.
Example:
let otherPath = ...;
let clone = PathKit.NewPath(otherPath);
clone.simplify();
// don't forget to do clone.delete() when it goes out of scope.
// Users can also do let clone = new PathKit.SkPath(otherPath);
// or let clone = otherPath.copy();
#### `MakeFromOp(pathOne, pathTwo, op)` ####
**pathOne** - `SkPath`, a path. <br>
**pathTwo** - `SkPath`, a path. <br>
**op** - `PathOp`, an op to apply
Returns a new `SkPath` that is the result of applying the given PathOp to the first and second
path (order matters).
Example:
let pathOne = PathKit.NewPath().moveTo(0, 20).lineTo(10, 10).lineTo(20, 20).close();
let pathTwo = PathKit.NewPath().moveTo(10, 20).lineTo(20, 10).lineTo(30, 20).close();
let mountains = PathKit.MakeFromOp(pathOne, pathTwo, PathKit.PathOp.UNION);
// don't forget to do mountains.delete() when it goes out of scope.
// Users can also do pathOne.op(pathTwo, PathKit.PathOp.UNION);
// to have the resulting path be stored to pathOne and avoid allocating another object.
#### `cubicYFromX(cpx1, cpy1, cpx2, cpy2, X)` ####
**cpx1, cpy1, cpx2, cpy2** - `Number`, coordinates for control points. <br>
**X** - `Number`, The X coordinate for which to find the corresponding Y coordinate.
Fast evaluation of a cubic ease-in / ease-out curve. This is defined as a parametric cubic
curve inside the unit square. Makes the following assumptions:
- pt[0] is implicitly { 0, 0 }
- pt[3] is implicitly { 1, 1 }
- pts[1, 2] are inside the unit square
This returns the Y coordinate for the given X coordinate.
#### `cubicPtFromT(cpx1, cpy1, cpx2, cpy2, T)` ####
**cpx1, cpy1, cpx2, cpy2** - `Number`, coordinates for control points. <br>
**T** - `Number`, The T param for which to find the corresponding (X, Y) coordinates.
Fast evaluation of a cubic ease-in / ease-out curve. This is defined as a parametric cubic
curve inside the unit square. Makes the following assumptions:
- pt[0] is implicitly { 0, 0 }
- pt[3] is implicitly { 1, 1 }
- pts[1, 2] are inside the unit square
This returns the (X, Y) coordinate for the given T value as a length 2 array.

box.dash(20, 10, 3);
// box is now a dashed rectangle that will draw for 20 pixels, then
// stop for 10 pixels. Since phase is 3, the first line won't start

can be passed directly to an SVG or Canvas.
#### `getFillTypeString()` ####
Returns a `String` representing the fillType of `this` path.
The values are either "nonzero" or "evenodd".

let pathTwo = PathKit.NewPath().moveTo(10, 20).lineTo(20, 10).lineTo(30, 20).close();
// Combine the two triangles to look like two mountains
let mountains = pathOne.copy().op(pathOne, pathTwo, PathKit.PathOp.UNION);
// set pathOne to be the small triangle where pathOne and pathTwo overlap
pathOne.op(pathOne, pathTwo, PathKit.PathOp.INTERSECT);
// since copy() was called, don't forget to call delete() on mountains.

#### `setFillType(fillType)` ####
**fillType** - `FillType`, the new fillType.
Set the fillType of the path. See [SkPath reference](https://skia.org/user/api/SkPath_Reference#SkPath_FillType)
for more details.
#### `simplify()` ####
Set `this` path to a set of *non-overlapping* contours that describe the same area
as the original path. See the "Simplify" effect above for a visual example.
#### `stroke(opts)` ####
**opts** - `StrokeOpts`, contains the options for stroking.
Strokes `this` path out with the given options. This can be used for a variety of
effects. See the "Stroke", "Grow", and "Shrink" effects above for visual examples.
Example:
let box = PathKit.NewPath().rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
// Stroke the path with width 10 and rounded corners
let rounded = box.copy().stroke({width: 10, join: PathKit.StrokeJoin.ROUND});
// Grow effect, that is, a 20 pixel expansion around the box.
let grow = box.copy().stroke({width: 20}).op(box, PathKit.PathOp.DIFFERENCE);
// Shrink effect, in which we subtract away from the original
let simplified = box.copy().simplify(); // sometimes required for complicated paths
let shrink = box.copy().stroke({width: 15, cap: PathKit.StrokeCap.BUTT})

let ctx = document.getElementById('canvas1').getContext('2d');
ctx.strokeStyle = 'green';
ctx.beginPath();
box.toCanvas(ctx);
ctx.stroke(); // could also ctx.fill()
#### `toCmds()` ####
Returns a 2D Array of verbs and args. See `PathKit.FromCmds()` for
more details.
#### `toPath2D()` ####
Returns a [Path2D](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Path2D) object
that has the same operations as `this` path.
Example:
let box = PathKit.NewPath().rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
let ctx = document.getElementById('canvas1').getContext('2d');
ctx.strokeStyle = 'green';
ctx.stroke(box.toPath2D());
#### `toSVGString()` ####
Returns a `String` representing an [SVGPath](https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/svg_path.asp) based on `this` path.
Example:
let box = PathKit.NewPath().rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
let svg = document.getElementById('svg1');
let newPath = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'path');
newPath.setAttribute('stroke', 'green');
newPath.setAttribute('fill', 'white');
newPath.setAttribute('d', box.toSVGString());
svg.appendChild(newPath);
#### `transform(matr)` ####
**matr** - `SkMatrix`, i.e. an `Array<Number>` of the nine numbers of an Affine Transform Matrix.
Applies the specified [transform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix#Affine_transformations)
to `this` and then returns `this` for chaining purposes.
#### `transform(scaleX, skewX, transX, skewY, scaleY, transY, pers0, pers1, pers2)` ####
**scaleX, skewX, transX, skewY, scaleY, transY, pers0, pers1, pers2** -
`Number`, the nine numbers of an Affine Transform Matrix.
Applies the specified [transform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix#Affine_transformations)
to `this` and then returns `this` for chaining purposes.
Example:
let path = PathKit.NewPath().rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
// scale up the path by 5x
path.transform([5, 0, 0,
0, 5, 0,
0, 0, 1]);
// move the path 75 px to the right.
path.transform(1, 0, 75,
0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 1);
#### `trim(startT, stopT, isComplement=false)` ####
**startT, stopT** - `Number`, values in [0, 1] that indicate the start and stop
"percentages" of the path to draw <br>
**isComplement** - `Boolean`, If the complement of the trimmed section should
be drawn instead of the areas between **startT** and **stopT**.
Sets `this` path to be a subset of the original path, then returns `this` for chaining purposes.
See the "Trim" effect above for a visual example.
Example:
let box = PathKit.NewPath().rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
box.trim(0.25, 1.0);
// box is now the 3 segments that look like a U
// (the top segment has been removed).
### SkOpBuilder (object) ###
This object enables chaining multiple PathOps together.
Create one with `let builder = new PathKit.SkOpBuilder();`
When created, the internal state is "empty path".
Don't forget to call `delete()` on both the builder and the result
of `resolve()`
#### `add(path, operation)` ####
**path** - `SkPath`, The path to be combined with the given rule. <br>
**operation** - `PathOp`, The operation to apply to the two paths.
Adds a path and the operand to the builder.
#### `make()` or `resolve()` ####
Creates and returns a new `SkPath` based on all the given paths
and operands.
Don't forget to call `.delete()` on the returned path when it goes out of scope.
### SkMatrix (struct) ###
`SkMatrix` translates between a C++ struct and a JS Array.
It basically takes a nine element 1D Array and turns it into a
3x3 2D Affine Matrix.
### SkRect (struct) ###
`SkRect` translates between a C++ struct and a JS Object with
the following keys (all values are `Number`:
- **fLeft**: x coordinate of top-left corner
- **fTop**: y coordinate of top-left corner
- **fRight**: x coordinate of bottom-right corner
- **fBottom**: y coordinate of bottom-rightcorner
### StrokeOpts (struct) ###
`StrokeOpts` translates between a C++ struct and a JS Object with
the following keys:
- **width**, `Number` the width of the lines of the path. Default 1.
- **miter_limit**, `Number`, the miter limit. Defautl 4. See [SkPaint reference](https://skia.org/user/api/SkPaint_Reference#Miter_Limit) for more details.
- **join**, `StrokeJoin`, the join to use. Default `PathKit.StrokeJoin.MITER`.
See [SkPaint reference](https://skia.org/user/api/SkPaint_Reference#SkPaint_Join) for more details.
- **cap**, `StrokeCap`, the cap to use. Default `PathKit.StrokeCap.BUTT`.
See [SkPaint reference](https://skia.org/user/api/SkPaint_Reference#Stroke_Cap) for more details.
### PathOp (enum) ###
The following enum values are exposed. They are essentially constant
objects, differentiated by thier `.value` property.
- `PathKit.PathOp.DIFFERENCE`
- `PathKit.PathOp.INTERSECT`
- `PathKit.PathOp.REVERSE_DIFFERENCE`
- `PathKit.PathOp.UNION`
- `PathKit.PathOp.XOR`
These are used in `PathKit.MakeFromOp()` and `SkPath.op()`.
### FillType (enum) ###
The following enum values are exposed. They are essentially constant
objects, differentiated by thier `.value` property.
- `PathKit.FillType.WINDING` (also known as nonzero)
- `PathKit.FillType.EVENODD`
- `PathKit.FillType.INVERSE_WINDING`
- `PathKit.FillType.INVERSE_EVENODD`
These are used by `SkPath.getFillType()` and `SkPath.setFillType()`, but
generally clients will want `SkPath.getFillTypeString()`.
### StrokeJoin (enum) ###
The following enum values are exposed. They are essentially constant
objects, differentiated by thier `.value` property.
- `PathKit.StrokeJoin.MITER`
- `PathKit.StrokeJoin.ROUND`
- `PathKit.StrokeJoin.BEVEL`
See [SkPaint reference](https://skia.org/user/api/SkPaint_Reference#SkPaint_Join) for more details.
### StrokeCap (enum) ###
The following enum values are exposed. They are essentially constant
objects, differentiated by thier `.value` property.
- `PathKit.StrokeCap.BUTT`
- `PathKit.StrokeCap.ROUND`
- `PathKit.StrokeCap.SQUARE`
See [SkPaint reference](https://skia.org/user/api/SkPaint_Reference#Stroke_Cap) for more details.
### Constants ###
The following constants are exposed:
- `PathKit.MOVE_VERB` = 0
- `PathKit.LINE_VERB` = 1
- `PathKit.QUAD_VERB` = 2
- `PathKit.CONIC_VERB` = 3
- `PathKit.CUBIC_VERB` = 4
- `PathKit.CLOSE_VERB` = 5
These are only needed for `PathKit.FromCmds()`.
### Functions for testing only ###
