Vertex Instructions¶

This module include all the classes for drawing simple vertex object.

class kivy.graphics.vertex_instructions.Triangle(**kwargs)¶

A 2d triangle.

Parameters :	points: list List of point in the format (x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)

class kivy.graphics.vertex_instructions.Quad(**kwargs)¶

A 2d quad.

Parameters :	points: list List of point in the format (x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4)

class kivy.graphics.vertex_instructions.Rectangle(**kwargs)¶

A 2d rectangle.

Parameters :	pos: list Position of the rectangle, in the format (x, y) size: list Size of the rectangle, in the format (width, height)

class kivy.graphics.vertex_instructions.BorderImage(**kwargs)¶

A 2d border image. The behavior of the border image is similar to the concept of CSS3 border-image.

Parameters :	border: list Border information in the format (top, right, bottom, left). Each value is in pixels.

class kivy.graphics.vertex_instructions.Ellipse(*args, **kwargs)¶

A 2d ellipse.

Parameters :	segments: int, default to 180 Define how much segment is needed for drawing the ellipse. The drawing will be smoother if you have lot of segment.

segments¶: Property for getting/setting the number of segments of the ellipse

class kivy.graphics.vertex_instructions.Line(**kwargs)¶

A 2d line.

Parameters :	points: list List of points in the format (x1, y1, x2, y2...)

points¶: Property for getting/settings points of the triangle

Warning

This will always reconstruct the whole graphics from the new points list. It can be very CPU expensive.

class kivy.graphics.vertex_instructions.Point(**kwargs)¶

A 2d line.

Parameters :	points: list List of points in the format (x1, y1, x2, y2...) pointsize: float, default to 1. Size of the point (1. mean the real size will be 2)

add_point(float x, float y)¶: Add a point into the current points list.

If you intend to add multiple point, prefer to use this method, instead of reassign a new points list. Assigning a new points list will recalculate and reupload the whole buffer into GPU. If you use add_point, it will only upload the changes.
