Constructor Details

↑ #initialize(start_point, end_point) ⇒ Layout::Path #initialize(start_point, control_point_1, control_point_2, end_point) ⇒ Layout::Path #initialize(rectangle) ⇒ Layout::Path #initialize(ellipse) ⇒ Layout::Path

The #initialize method creates a new Layout::Path between a start point and an end point, or from a provided Rectangle or Ellipse.

Examples:

start = Geom::Point2d.new(1, 1)
end = Geom::Point2d.new(2, 2)
new_path = Layout::Path.new(start, end)
start = Geom::Point2d.new(1, 1)
control_1 = Geom::Point2d.new(1.5, 1)
control_2 = Geom::Point2d.new(1, 1.5)
end = Geom::Point2d.new(2, 2)
new_path = Layout::Path.new(start, control_1, control_2, end)

  • #initialize(start_point, end_point) ⇒ Layout::Path
