FL.objects.Canvas.Canvas

class FL.objects.Canvas.Canvas(canvas: Canvas | None = None)

Bases: Copyable

Canvas - class to represent screen paint area and operations

This class can perform automatic coordinates transformations, so you can draw in Glyph coordinate space or, if you prefer, in screen coordinates directly.

Use constants defined for FontLab module in Fldict to assign attributes to Canvas object

__init__(canvas: Canvas | None = None) → None

Never create Canvas object explicitly - they must be obtained from the FontLab’s window classes

Canvas() - generic constructor, creates an empty Canvas Canvas(Canvas) - copy constructor

Methods

Convert(p)	Converts coordinates from the source coordinate space
CurveTo(p0, p1, p2)	Draws a 3th-order Bezier curve from the current point to points p0, p1, p2
Ellipse(r_or_p0_or_x0[, p1_or_y0, x1, y1])	Draws a filled ellipse defined by the Rect r, points p0 and p1 or set of coordinates
FillGlyph(g[, w])	Fills the glyph g using current coordinate transformation.
FitGlyph(r, g[, w])	Recalculates parameters of coordinate conversion function to fit glyph g into rectangle r using currently selected options.
LineTo(p_or_x[, y])	Draws a straight line to the position p or (x, y) coordinates
MoveTo(p_or_x[, y])	Moves current position to p or (x, y) coordinates
OutlineGlyph(g[, w])	Draws the glyph g outline using current coordinate transformation.
PutImage(i, p[, mode])	Puts Image i at the selected point
Rectangle(r_or_p0_or_x0[, p1_or_y0, x1, y1])	Draws a filled rectangle defined by the Rect r, points p0 and p1 or set of coordinates

TextOut(p_or_x, s_or_y[, s])	Draws the string s in the position p or (x, y)
UnConvert(p)	Converts screen coordinates to the currently defined coordinate space
__init__([canvas])	Never create Canvas object explicitly - they must be obtained from the FontLab's window classes
