ImagickDraw::pathStart

(PECL imagick 2, PECL imagick 3)

ImagickDraw::pathStart — Declares the start of a path drawing list

Description

public ImagickDraw::pathStart ( ) : bool

Warning

This function is currently not documented; only its argument list is available.

Declares the start of a path drawing list which is terminated by a matching DrawPathFinish() command. All other DrawPath commands must be enclosed between a and a DrawPathFinish() command. This is because path drawing commands are subordinate commands and they do not function by themselves.

Return Values

No value is returned.

Example #1 ImagickDraw::pathStart()

<?php
function pathStart($strokeColor, $fillColor, $backgroundColor) {

    $draw = new \ImagickDraw();

    $draw->setStrokeOpacity(1);

    $draw->setFillColor($fillColor);

    $draw->setStrokeWidth(2);
    $draw->setFontSize(72);

    $draw->pathStart();
    $draw->pathMoveToAbsolute(50, 50);
    $draw->pathLineToAbsolute(100, 50);
    $draw->pathLineToRelative(0, 50);
    $draw->pathLineToHorizontalRelative(-50);
    $draw->pathFinish();

    $draw->pathStart();
    $draw->pathMoveToAbsolute(50, 50);
    $draw->pathMoveToRelative(300, 0);

    $draw->pathLineToVerticalRelative(50);
    $draw->pathLineToHorizontalAbsolute(350);
