Class API

class GraphicsBrush(GraphicsObject)

A GraphicsBrush is used to define how fills are painted. They can have either a solid fill (colors with or without alpha), a stipple created from a wx.Bitmap, or a Cairo Pattern object.

Methods

---

__init__(self, colour=wx.BLACK, style=wx.BRUSHSTYLE_SOLID)

Create a new GraphicsBrush.

---

Apply(self, ctx)

Apply this brush’s properties to the given context. Called by GraphicsContext as needed.

---

static CreateFromBrush(brush)

Converts a wx.Brush to a GraphicsBrush.

---

static CreateFromPattern(pattern)

Create a GraphicsBrush directly from a Cairo Pattern object. This is similar to using a stipple bitmap, but saves a step, and patterns can include gradients, etc.

Properties

---

Colour

The color to use when filling with the brush.

Type:wx.Colour

---

Pattern

A pattern to be used when filling with this brush.

Type:Cairo Pattern

---

Stipple

The Stipple is a bitmap to be used as a pattern when filling with this brush.

This will be converted to a Cairo Pattern when applied to a GraphicsContext.

Type:wx.Bitmap

---

Style

The style of the brush to be used when filling. Currently, wx.BRUSHSTYLE_SOLID and wx.BRUSHSTYLE_STIPPLE are supported.
