Method: HexaPDF::Content::Canvas#fill

Defined in:

lib/hexapdf/content/canvas.rb

#fill(rule = :nonzero) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

canvas.fill(rule = :nonzero)    => canvas

Fills the path using the given rule and returns self.

The argument rule may either be :nonzero to use the nonzero winding number rule or :even_odd to use the even-odd rule for determining which regions to fill in. Details on how these rules work are found in the PDF 2.0 spec section 8.5.3.3 or via Internet search.

Any open subpaths are implicitly closed before being filled.

Examples:

#>pdf
canvas.fill_color("hp-blue").
  polyline(20, 10, 90, 60, 10, 60, 80, 10, 50, 90).
  fill

canvas.fill_color("hp-orange").
  polyline(120, 110, 190, 160, 110, 160, 180, 110, 150, 190).
  fill(:even_odd)
