Polygon class

This page explains the Polygon class.

What class is this?

The Polygon class creates a polygon vector graphics object.

Basic usage

The Polygon class constructor requires the points list argument.

The constructor also accepts each style’s argument, such as the fill_color.

import apysc as ap

ap.Stage(
    background_color=ap.Color("#333"),
    stage_width=150,
    stage_height=150,
    stage_elem_id="stage",
)
polygon: ap.Polygon = ap.Polygon(
    points=[
        ap.Point2D(x=75, y=50),
        ap.Point2D(x=50, y=100),
        ap.Point2D(x=100, y=100),
    ],
    fill_color=ap.Color("#0af"),
)

ap.save_overall_html(dest_dir_path="polygon_basic_usage/")

Note of the draw_polygon interface

You can also create a polygon instance with the draw_polygon interface.

x property interface example

The x property updates or gets the instance’s x-coordinate:

import apysc as ap

ap.Stage(
    background_color=ap.Color("#333"),

    stage_height=150,
    stage_elem_id="stage",

        ap.Point2D(x=50, y=100),
        ap.Point2D(x=100, y=100),
    ],
    fill_color=ap.Color("#0af"),
)
polygon.x = ap.Number(100)

[Interface summary]

Create a polygon vector graphic. This class is similar to the Polyline class, but unlike that, this class connects an end-point and start-point.

[Parameters]

  • points: Array of Point2D or list of Point2D

    • List of polygon vertex points.

  • fill_color: Color, default COLORLESS

    • A fill-color to set.

  • fill_alpha: float or Number, default 1.0

    • A fill-alpha to set.

  • line_color: Color, default COLORLESS

    • A line-color to set.

  • line_alpha: float or Number, default 1.0

    • A line-alpha to set.

  • line_thickness: int or Int, default 1

    • A line-thickness (line-width) to set.

  • line_cap: String or LineCaps or None, default None

    • A line-cap setting to set.

  • line_joints: String or LineJoints or None, default None

    • A line-joints setting to set.

  • line_dot_setting: LineDotSetting or None, default None

    • A dot setting to set.

  • line_dash_setting: LineDashSetting or None, default None

    • A dash setting to set.

  • line_round_dot_setting: LineRoundDotSetting or None, default None

    • A round-dot setting to set.

  • line_dash_dot_setting: LineDashDotSetting or None, default None

    • A dash-dot (1-dot chain) setting to set.

  • parent: ChildMixIn or None, default None

    • A parent instance to add this instance. If the specified value is None, this interface uses a stage instance.

  • variable_name_suffix: str, default “”

    • A JavaScript variable name suffix string. This setting is sometimes useful for JavaScript debugging.

[Examples]

>>> import apysc as ap
>>> stage: ap.Stage = ap.Stage()
>>> polygon: ap.Polygon = ap.Polygon(
...     points=[
...         ap.Point2D(x=50, y=50),
...         ap.Point2D(x=50, y=100),
...         ap.Point2D(x=100, y=75),
...     ],
...     fill_color=ap.Color("#00aaff"),
... )
>>> polygon.fill_color
Color("#00aaff")
