Function
GskPathparse
since: 4.14
Declaration [src]
GskPath*
gsk_path_parse (
  const char* string
)
Description [src]
This is a convenience function that constructs a GskPath
from a serialized form.
The string is expected to be in (a superset of)
SVG path syntax,
as e.g. produced by gsk_path_to_string().
A high-level summary of the syntax:
- M x yMove to- (x, y)
- L x yAdd a line from the current point to- (x, y)
- Q x1 y1 x2 y2Add a quadratic Bézier from the current point to- (x2, y2), with control point- (x1, y1)
- C x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3Add a cubic Bézier from the current point to- (x3, y3), with control points- (x1, y1)and- (x2, y2)
- ZClose the contour by drawing a line back to the start point
- H xAdd a horizontal line from the current point to the given x value
- V yAdd a vertical line from the current point to the given y value
- T x2 y2Add a quadratic Bézier, using the reflection of the previous segments’ control point as control point
- S x2 y2 x3 y3Add a cubic Bézier, using the reflection of the previous segments’ second control point as first control point
- A rx ry r l s x yAdd an elliptical arc from the current point to- (x, y)with radii rx and ry. See the SVG documentation for how the other parameters influence the arc.
- O x1 y1 x2 y2 wAdd a rational quadratic Bézier from the current point to- (x2, y2)with control point- (x1, y1)and weight- w.
All the commands have lowercase variants that interpret coordinates relative to the current point.
The O command is an extension that is not supported in SVG.

Parameters
- string
- 
            Type: const char*A string. The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. 
Return value
Type: GskPath
A new GskPath, or NULL if string could not be parsed.
| The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it. | 
| The return value can be NULL. |
