Shapes

Basic Shapes

The basic shapes are on the Image companion object. This includes:

Image.empty creates the empty Image that takes up no space and renders nothing. Useful for that sweet monoid identity and for the base case in recursions.
Image.square(sideLength) creates a square with the given side length.
Image.rectangle(width, height) creates a rectangle with the given width and height.
Image.circle(diameter) creates a circle with the given diameter. Specified in terms of diameter rather than radius so that Image.square(100) and Image.circle(100) take up the same space.
Image.triangle(width, height) creates an isoceles triangle with the given width and height.

Complex Shapes

Some more complex shapes are also available on the Image companion object:

Image.equilateralTriangle(width) creates an equilateral triangle with the given side length.
Image.regularPolygon(sides, radius) creates a regular polygon with the given number of sides and radius.
Image.star(points, outerRadius, innerRadius) creates a star with the given number of points. The points extend as far as outerRadius and go in to innerRadius.
Image.rightArrow(width, height) creates an arrow points to the right with the given width and height.
Image.roundedRectangle(width, height, radius) creates a rectangle of the given width and height, with rounded corners with size given by radius.

Paths

Paths allow construction of custom shapes. They are described in their own section. There are three methods on the Image companion object that deal with paths:

Image.openPath(pathElements) converts a Seq[PathElement] into an Image representing an open path (a path that does not end where it begins).
Image.closedPath converts a Seq[PathElement] to an Image representing a closed path (a path that ends where it begins; a straight line will be inserted if to make this the case if needed.)
Image.interpolatingSpline converts a Seq[Point] to an Image by interpolating a smooth curve between the points using the Catmull-Rom algorithm.
