Clipper (gb.clipper2)

This static class implements the clipping methods.

Constants

CapButt	Line ends are squared off without any extension.
CapJoined	Line ends are joined and the path treated as a polyline.
CapPolygon	The path is treated as a polygon.
CapRound	Line ends extend the offset amount while being rounded off.
CapSquare	Line ends extend the offset amount while being squared off.
FillEvenOdd	Constant that represents the "Even-odd" polygon fill rule.
FillNegative	Constant that represents the "Negative" polygon fill rule.
FillNonZero	Constant that represents the "Non-Zero" or "Winding" polygon fill rule.
FillPositive	Constant that represents the "Positive" polygon fill rule.
FillWinding	Constant that represents the "Non-Zero" or "Winding" polygon fill rule.
JoinBevel	Bevelled joins are similar to squared joins except that squaring won't occur at a fixed distance. While bevelled joins may not be as pretty as squared joins, bevelling is much easier (i.e. faster) than squaring. And perhaps this is why bevelling rather than squaring is preferred in numerous graphics display formats (including SVG and PDF document formats).
JoinMiter	Edges are first offset a specified distance away from and parallel to their original (i.e. starting) edge positions. These offset edges are then extended to points where they intersect with adjacent edge offsets. However a limit must be imposed on how far mitered vertices can be from their original positions to avoid very convex joins producing unreasonably long and narrow spikes). To avoid unsightly spikes, joins will be squared wherever distances between original vertices and their calculated offsets exceeds a specified value (expressed as a ratio relative to the offset distance).
JoinRound	Rounding is applied to all convex joins with the arc radius being the offset distance, and the original join vertex the arc center.
JoinSquare	Convex joins will be truncated using a squaring edge. And the mid-points of these squaring edges will be exactly the offset distance away from their original (or starting) vertices.

Static methods

Difference	Compute the difference between Polygons and Clip and return it.
ExclusiveOr	Compute the exclusive or between Polygons and Clip and return it.
Inflate	Expand or shrink closed polygons, or inflate opened polylines.
Intersection	Compute the intersection between Polygons and Clip and return it.
Simplify	Removes self-intersections from the supplied Polygons (by performing a boolean union operation using the nominated Fill type).
Trim	Remove the vertices between adjacent collinear segments of each polygon.
Union	Compute the union between Polygons and Clip and return it.

Polygon fill rule

Each polygon or array of polygons must have a fill rule specified when calling one of the clipping methods: Difference, Union, Intersection, ExclusiveOr.

That fill rule is a value among one of the following constant:

• Clipper.FillEvenOdd.

• Clipper.FillWinding or Clipper.FillNonZero.

• Clipper.FillNegative.

• Clipper.FillPositive.
