PathBoundsX()

Syntax

Result.d = PathBoundsX()

Returns the X coordinate (top/left corner) of the bounding box for the current vector drawing path. The result is the lowest X coordinate that stroking/filling the current path would reach.

Parameters

None.

Return value

The X coordinate of the bounding box.

Example

  If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 200, "VectorDrawing", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    CanvasGadget(0, 0, 0, 400, 200)

    If StartVectorDrawing(CanvasVectorOutput(0))
    
      ; construct path
      MovePathCursor(150, 125)
      AddPathCurve(0, 270, 0, -150, 350, 180)
      
      ; get path bounds
      x = PathBoundsX()
      y = PathBoundsY()
      w = PathBoundsWidth()
      h = PathBoundsHeight()
      
      ; stroke the path
      VectorSourceColor($FF0000FF)
      StrokePath(5)
      
      ; draw bounding box
      AddPathBox(x, y, w, h)
      VectorSourceColor($FF000000)
      DashPath(2, 5)

      StopVectorDrawing()
    EndIf
    
    Repeat
      Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
  EndIf
