Description: A simple polygon class
A simple polygon consists of an outer hull only. To support polygons with holes, use Polygon. The hull contour consists of several points. The point list is normalized such that the leftmost, lowest point is the first one. The orientation is normalized such that the orientation of the hull contour is clockwise.
It is in no way checked that the contours are not overlapping This must be ensured by the user of the object when filling the contours.
The SimplePolygon class stores coordinates in integer format. A class that stores floating-point coordinates is DSimplePolygon.
See The Database API for more details about the database objects.

| ||||||||

< | Signature: [const] bool < (const SimplePolygon p) Description: Returns a value indicating whether self is less than p
This operator is provided to establish some, not necessarily a certain sorting order This method has been introduced in version 0.25. | ||||||||
== | Signature: [const] bool == (const SimplePolygon p) Description: Returns a value indicating whether self is equal to p
| ||||||||
_const_cast | Signature: [const] SimplePolygon ptr _const_cast Description: Returns a non-const reference to self. Basically, this method allows turning a const object reference to a non-const one. This method is provided as last resort to remove the constness from an object. Usually there is a good reason for a const object reference, so using this method may have undesired side effects. This method has been introduced in version 0.29.6. | ||||||||
_create | Signature: void _create Description: Ensures the C++ object is created Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created. | ||||||||
_destroy | Signature: void _destroy Description: Explicitly destroys the object Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing. | ||||||||
_destroyed? | Signature: [const] bool _destroyed? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself. | ||||||||
_is_const_object? | Signature: [const] bool _is_const_object? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self. | ||||||||
_manage | Signature: void _manage Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side. After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required. Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24. | ||||||||
_unmanage | Signature: void _unmanage Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side. Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur. Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24. | ||||||||
area | Signature: [const] long area Description: Gets the area of the polygon The area is correct only if the polygon is not self-overlapping and the polygon is oriented clockwise. | ||||||||
area2 | Signature: [const] long area2 Description: Gets the double area of the polygon This method is provided because the area for an integer-type polygon is a multiple of 1/2. Hence the double area can be expresses precisely as an integer for these types. This method has been introduced in version 0.26.1 | ||||||||
assign | Signature: void assign (const SimplePolygon other) Description: Assigns another object to self | ||||||||
bbox | Signature: [const] Box bbox Description: Returns the bounding box of the simple polygon | ||||||||
break | Signature: [const] SimplePolygon[] break (unsigned long max_vertex_count, double max_area_ratio) Description: Splits the polygon into parts with a maximum vertex count and area ratio The area ratio is the ratio between the bounding box area and the polygon area. Higher values mean more 'skinny' polygons. This method will split the input polygon into pieces having a maximum of 'max_vertex_count' vertices and an area ratio less than 'max_area_ratio'. 'max_vertex_count' can be zero. In this case the limit is ignored. Also 'max_area_ratio' can be zero, in which case it is ignored as well. The method of splitting is unspecified. The algorithm will apply 'split' recursively until the parts satisfy the limits. This method has been introduced in version 0.29. Python specific notes: | ||||||||
compress | Signature: void compress (bool remove_reflected) Description: Compressed the simple polygon.
This method removes redundant points from the polygon, such as points being on a line formed by two other points. If remove_reflected is true, points are also removed if the two adjacent edges form a spike. This method was introduced in version 0.18. | ||||||||
create | Signature: void create Description: Ensures the C++ object is created Use of this method is deprecated. Use _create instead Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created. | ||||||||
destroy | Signature: void destroy Description: Explicitly destroys the object Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroy instead Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing. | ||||||||
destroyed? | Signature: [const] bool destroyed? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side.

extract_rad | Signature: [const] variant[] extract_rad Description: Extracts the corner radii from a rounded polygon Attempts to extract the radii of rounded corner polygon. This is essentially the inverse of the round_corners method. If this method succeeds, if will return an array of four elements:
This method is based on some assumptions and may fail. In this case, an empty array is returned. If successful, the following code will more or less render the original polygon and parameters p = ... # some polygon p.round_corners(ri, ro, n) (p2, ri2, ro2, n2) = p.extract_rad # -> p2 == p, ro2 == ro, ri2 == ri, n2 == n (within some limits) This method was introduced in version 0.25. | ||||||||
