The Draw API allows to create graphics through various drawing instruction. These instructions are grouped together (separated as semicolons) and set as the value of the draw attribute of any image object. E.g.

fill('150,150,150');rectangle(10,10,100,100,red,green);line(10,10,110,110,black);

Functions

Arc

arc(x, y, w, h, start, extent, type, border_color, fill_color)

Draws an arc. Parameters:

  • x: the x coordinate of the upper-left corner of the arc's framing rectangle
  • y: the y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the arc's framing rectangle
  • w: the overall width of the full ellipse of which this arc is a partial section
  • h: the overall height of the full ellipse of which this arc is a partial section
  • start: the starting angle of the arc in degrees
  • extent: the angular extent of the arc in degrees
  • type: the closure type for the arc: "open", "chord" or "pie"
  • border_color: see the note below
  • fill_color: see the note below

Fill

fill(color)

Fills the whole area with given color. Parameters:

Image

image(file, x, y)

Parameters:

  • file: the full pathname, relative to the HSYCO home directory
  • x: the x coordinate of the location where the String should be rendered - y: the y coordinate of the location where the String should be rendered

Line

line(x1, y1, x2, y2, ...., color)

Draws a sequence of connected lines - x1: X axis coordinate of first point Parameters:

  • y1: Y axis coordinate of first point
  • x2: X axis coordinate of second point
  • y2: Y axis coordinate of second point
  • xN: X axis coordinate of N-th point
  • yN: Y axis coordinate of N-th point
  • color: see the note below

Spline

spline(x1, y1, x2, y2, ...., color)

draws a natural cubic spline interpolation of a sequence of points - x1: X axis coordinate of first point Parameters:

  • y1: Y axis coordinate of first point
  • x2: X axis coordinate of second point
  • y2: Y axis coordinate of second point
  • xN: X axis coordinate of N-th point
  • yN: Y axis coordinate of N-th point
  • color: see the note below

Rectangle

rectangle(x, y, w, h, border_color, fill_color)

Parameters:

  • x: the x coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle
  • y: the y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle
  • w: the width of the rectangle
  • h: the height of the rectangle
  • border_color: see the note below
  • fill_color: see the note below

String

string(text, x, y, font, style, size, color)

Parameters:

  • text: quoted text
  • x: the x coordinate of the location where the String should be rendered - y: the y coordinate of the location where the String should be rendered - font: font name, like “arial”, “helvetica”, “courier” etc.
  • style: “bold”, “italic”, or “bolditalic”
  • color: see the note below

Stroke

stroke(w)

Set the stroke width for all subsequent drawing commands. Parameters:

  • w: the width of the stroke


A color can be set using an RGB comma separated numeric notation (delimited by quotes), with primary color numbers from 0 to 255 (for example, "255,0,0" is red), or using color names. The valid names are: black, blue, cyan, darkgray, gray, lightgray, green, magenta, orange, pink, red, white, yellow.

Examples

Draw a pie chart

In this example we are going to draw a pie chart with three slices of 45°, 90° and 225°. Draw Pie Chart.png Let's describe the instructions we're going to use:

  • fill('230,230,250') - Fill the background with the specified color
  • stroke(5) - Set the line width for the pie's border to 5 pixels
  • arc(10,10,280,280,0,45,pie,black,red) - draw the first slice from 0° to 45° in red
  • arc(10,10,280,280,45,90,pie,black,green); - draw the second slice from 45° to 135° in green
  • arc(10,10,280,280,135,225,pie,black,blue); - draw the third slice from 135° to 360° in blue

The line of code from user.java:

uiSet("myimage","draw","fill('230,230,250');stroke(5);arc(10,10,280,280,0,45,pie,black,red);arc(10,10,280,280,45,90,pie,black,green);arc(10,10,280,280,135,225,pie,black,blue);")
