MarkerEdgeTreatment

public final class MarkerEdgeTreatment extends EdgeTreatment


Draws an arrow on the edge given the radius of a circle. The arrow is drawn as two perpendicular lines tangent to the circle. This allows the arrow to be drawn smoothly on a pill or circular shape.

If you just want a triangle of a specific size use TriangleEdgeTreatment instead.

Public methods

getEdgePath

public void getEdgePath(
    float length,
    float center,
    float interpolation,
    ShapePath shapePath
)

Generates a ShapePath for this edge treatment.

EdgeTreatments have an origin of (0, 0) and a destination of (0, length) (i.e. they represent the top edge), and are automatically rotated and scaled as necessary when applied to other edges. Only the horizontal, top EdgeTreatment needs to be defined in order to apply it to all four edges.

Parameters
float length

the length of the edge.

float center

the distance to the center of the edge. This takes into account any offset added by the proceeding corner. Drawing anything at (center, 0) will be center aligned with the shape. Normally you'll want to use this instead of length / 2.

float interpolation

the interpolation of the edge treatment. Ranges between 0 (none) and 1 (fully) interpolated. Custom edge treatments can implement interpolation to support shape transition between two arbitrary states. Typically, a value of 0 indicates that the custom edge treatment is not rendered (i.e. that it is a straight line), and a value of 1 indicates that the treatment is fully rendered. Animation between these two values can "heal" or "reveal" an edge treatment.

ShapePath shapePath

the ShapePath that this treatment should write to.
