BooleanClipFactory Class

A BooleanClipFactory is a factory to create objects that implement interior nodes of a tree of boolean clip operations.

  • The static (factory) methods create specific clip operations
    • Union
    • Intersection
    • Parity
    • Difference
  • Each construction has a keepInside flag that optionally negates the initial result of the parity, intersection, parity, or difference:
    • if keepInside === true, accept the "inside" of the initial result
    • if keepInside === false, accept the "outside" of the initial result

Methods

Name Description
anyClipperToJSON(clipper: any): any | undefined Static Choose a toJSON method appropriate to the clipper  
createCaptureClipOutside(primaryClipper: Clipper): Clipper Static Create a boolean clipper which performs the reverse of that of primaryClipper  
createCaptureDifference(primaryClipper: Clipper, excludedClipper: Clipper, keepInside: boolean): Clipper Static Create a boolean clipper which performs a difference operation for points "inside primaryClipper" and "outside excludedClipper"  
createCaptureIntersection(clippers: Clipper | Clipper[], keepInside: boolean): Clipper Static Create a boolean clipper which performs an intersection over its children  
createCaptureParity(clippers: Clipper | Clipper[], keepInside: boolean): Clipper Static Create a boolean clipper which performs a parity over its children  
createCaptureUnion(clippers: Clipper | Clipper[], keepInside: boolean): Clipper Static Create a boolean clipper which performs a union over its children  
parseToClipper(source?: object): Clipper | undefined Static look for content that represents a clipper.  
parseToClipperArray(source: any): Clipper[] | undefined Static convert source to an array of clipper objects.
