DRAW_PATH ​

Draws the last defined path.

Syntax ​

leo-grammar
DRAW_PATH [ mode:DrawPathMode ] .

DrawPathMode : stroke | fill | stroke-and-fill .

Parameters ​

  • mode (modifier, optional) - Specifies how the path should be drawn: only the outline, only by filling it or both. Default is stroke-and-fill.

Details ​

The style of this command is defined by the PEN command for the outline and the FILL command to fill the shape.

The command draws the last path that has been defined between BEGIN_PATH and END_PATH. How the path is drawn is specified through the mode parameter:

  • stroke-and-fill (default) will draw both the outline and fill the shape. This also closes the path if necessary by connecting the last point with the first point through a straight line.
  • stroke will only draw the outline.
  • fill will only fill the shape. This also closes the path if necessary by connecting the last point with the first point through a straight line.

Each path can only be used once. To draw or clip on the same path again it is necessary to define the path once more.
