PathShape

extends Shape
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.shapes.Shape
     ↳ android.graphics.drawable.shapes.PathShape

Class Overview

Creates geometric paths, utilizing the Path class. The path can be drawn to a Canvas with its own draw() method, but more graphical control is available if you instead pass the PathShape to a ShapeDrawable.

Public Constructors

public PathShape (Path path, float stdWidth, float stdHeight)

Added in API level 1

PathShape constructor.

Parameters
path a Path that defines the geometric paths for this shape
stdWidth the standard width for the shape. Any changes to the width with resize() will result in a width scaled based on the new width divided by this width.
stdHeight the standard height for the shape. Any changes to the height with resize() will result in a height scaled based on the new height divided by this height.

Public Methods

public PathShape clone ()

Added in API level 1

Creates and returns a copy of this Object. The default implementation returns a so-called "shallow" copy: It creates a new instance of the same class and then copies the field values (including object references) from this instance to the new instance. A "deep" copy, in contrast, would also recursively clone nested objects. A subclass that needs to implement this kind of cloning should call super.clone() to create the new instance and then create deep copies of the nested, mutable objects.

Returns
  • a copy of this object.
Throws
CloneNotSupportedException

public void draw (Canvas canvas, Paint paint)

Added in API level 1

Draw this shape into the provided Canvas, with the provided Paint. Before calling this, you must call resize(float, float).

Parameters
canvas the Canvas within which this shape should be drawn
paint the Paint object that defines this shape's characteristics

Protected Methods

protected void onResize (float width, float height)

Added in API level 1

Callback method called when resize(float, float) is executed.

Parameters
width the new width of the Shape
height the new height of the Shape
