Known Direct Subclasses PathOperation.difference, PathOperation.intersect, PathOperation.reverseDifference, PathOperation.union, PathOperation.xor PathOperation.difference Subtract the second path from the first path. PathOperation.intersect Create a new path that is the intersection of the two paths, leaving the overlapping pieces of the path. PathOperation.reverseDifference Subtract the first path from the second path. PathOperation.union Create a new path that is the union (inclusive-or) of the two paths. PathOperation.xor Create a new path that is the exclusive-or of the two paths, leaving everything but the overlapping pieces of the path.

Enum values

difference

enum val difference : PathOperation

Subtract the second path from the first path.

For example, if the two paths are overlapping circles of equal diameter but differing centers, the result would be a crescent portion of the first circle that was not overlapped by the second circle.

See also:

• reverseDifference, which is the same but subtracting the first path from the second.

intersect

enum val intersect : PathOperation

Create a new path that is the intersection of the two paths, leaving the overlapping pieces of the path.

For example, if the two paths are overlapping circles of equal diameter but differing centers, the result would be only the overlapping portion of the two circles.

See also:

• xor, which is the inverse of this operation

reverseDifference

enum val reverseDifference : PathOperation

Subtract the first path from the second path.

For example, if the two paths are overlapping circles of equal diameter but differing centers, the result would be a crescent portion of the second circle that was not overlapped by the first circle.

See also:

• difference, which is the same but subtracting the second path from the first.

union

enum val union : PathOperation

Create a new path that is the union (inclusive-or) of the two paths.

For example, if the two paths are overlapping circles of equal diameter but differing centers, the result would be a figure-eight like shape matching the outer boundaries of both circles.

xor

enum val xor : PathOperation

Create a new path that is the exclusive-or of the two paths, leaving everything but the overlapping pieces of the path.

For example, if the two paths are overlapping circles of equal diameter but differing centers, the figure-eight like shape less the overlapping parts
