Public API Changes

Support of the shape points editing has been added

Support of the shape points editing has been added. New classes, interfaces, enums, and GeometryShape methods have been added.

New classes:

• PathSegment
• GeometryPath
• ShapeUtil

New interfaces:

• IPathSegment
• IGeometryPath

New enums:

• PathFillModeType
• PathCommandType

Public methods have been added to the GeometryShape class and its descendants:

• ArrayPtr<SharedPtr> GetGeometryPaths()
• void SetGeometryPath(SharedPtr geometryPath)
• void SetGeometryPaths(ArrayPtr<SharedPtr> geometryPaths)

Feature description:

Customization of the shape geometry assumes editing points of an existing shape.

To provide the abovementioned functionality GeometryPath class and IGeometryPath interface have been added. GeometryPath instance represents a geometry path of the IGeometryShape object.

To retrieve GeometryPath from the IGeometryShape instance, the IGeometryShape::GetGeometryPaths() method has been added. Shapes may be built from a few smaller shapes (e.g. an “equal” sign) so this method returns an array of IGeometryPath objects.

To set GeometryPath to the shape, two methods have been added: IGeometryShape::SetGeometryPath(SharedPtr geometryPath) for solid shapes and IGeometryShape::SetGeometryPaths(ArrayPtr<SharedPtr> geometryPaths) for composite shapes.
