Line objects are created using the following functions. Lines are drawn between a starting point (x1, y1) and an ending point (x2, y2).
Function | Description |
Line(x1, y1, x2, y2) | Creates a line from point x1, y1, to point x2, y2. |
Line(x1, y1, x2, y2, color, thickness) | Creates a line from point x1, y1, to point x2, y2,. Additional optional parameters include color (e.g. Color.BLACK (default), Color.ORANGE or Color(255, 0, 255), using specific RGB values), and thickness (default is 1 pixel). |
Once a Line has been created, it may be added to a Display.
line1 = Line(100, 100, 200, 200) display1.add(line1)
Finally, you may use the following functions:
Function | Description |
line1.setColor(color) | Changes color to the specified color (e.g. Color.BLACK or Color(255, 0, 255), using specific RGB values). If the color parameter is omitted, a color selection dialog box will be presented. |
line1.getColor() | Returns the current color. |
line1.getX() | Returns the x coordinate (in pixels). |
line1.getY() | Returns the y coordinate (in pixels). |
line1.setX(x) | Sets the x coordinate (in pixels). |
line1.setY(y) | Sets the y coordinate (in pixels). |
line1.encloses(other) | Returns True if line1 encloses other graphics object. |
line1.intersects(other) | Returns True if line1 intersects other graphics object. |
line1.getPosition() | Returns the position as an (x, y) tuple. This is the top-left corner of the box that encloses the line. |
line1.setPosition(x, y) | Sets the position to x, y. This is the top-left corner of the box that encloses the line. |
