Paths
Paths are created in the context of a document and represented as a structure,
DLPDFPATH.
dlpdfpathcreate
Used to construct a path, this method accepts no parameters. It will return a pointer
to DLPDFPATH or raise an exception indicating that no memory is available.
dlpdfpathdestroy
Used to destroy, this method accepts a pointer to a DLPDFPATH structure and will
return nothing. It will raise the exception Bad Parameter if the pointer is not valid.
dlpdfpathclear
Used to reset a path, this method sets the current position to UNSET, the matrix to
UNITY, and removes any path segment present. It will not deallocate the array used to
hold the path, however, since its primary purpose is to lower the overhead associated
with allocation and deallocation. It will raise the exception Bad Parameter if it is
called with a NULL pointer.
dlpdfpathcurrentx
This method will return the current X position as an ASFixed integer.
dlpdfpathcurrenty
This method will return the current Y position as an ASFixed integer.
dlpdfpathsize
This method will return the current size of the path array (as a count of ASFixed
integers) as an integer.
