Path.FitCurves Method (Single)

Applies to: Graphics Mill 12.1, 6.x-12.x (may differ)

Replaces the polylines of the path with cubic Bezier curves.

Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

Syntax

C# 
public void FitCurves(
	float tolerance
)

Parameters

tolerance

Type: System.Single

The largest allowed distance from the curves to the points of the polylines, in path units. Must be greater than 0.

Remarks

A point where the direction turns by 60 degrees or more stays a sharp corner. See the FitCurves(Single, Single) overload for details.

Examples

C# 
// A polyline: a straight edge and an arc made of short segments.
var path = new Path();
path.MoveTo(35, 15);
path.LineTo(35, 135);
for (int i = 1; i < 12; i++)
{
    double angle = System.Math.PI / 2 - i * System.Math.PI / 12;
    path.LineTo(35 + 85 * (float)System.Math.Cos(angle), 75 + 60 * (float)System.Math.Sin(angle));
}
path.Close();

var original = new Path(path);

// Replace the polyline with Bezier curves. The two corners of the straight edge stay sharp.
path.FitCurves(1f);

The original path and the path with fitted curves.

The original path and the path with fitted curves.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException The tolerance is not greater than 0.
