BezierBuilder
Kind: class
Module/package: path_builder
SDK: pdfdancer-client-python 2.0.0
Builder class for constructing Bezier curve objects with fluent interface. Mirrors the Java client BezierBuilder API.
Declaration
BezierBuilder(client: "'PDFDancer'", page_number: 'int')
Members
__init__
__init__(self, client: "'PDFDancer'", page_number: 'int')
Initialize the bezier builder.
Args: client: The PDFDancer instance for adding the bezier page_number: The page number (1-indexed)
add
add(self) -> 'bool'
Build the bezier curve and add it to the PDF document.
Returns: True if successful
Raises: ValidationException: If required properties are missing
control_point_1
control_point_1(self, x: 'float', y: 'float') -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set the first control point (absolute page coordinates).
Args: x: X coordinate on the page y: Y coordinate on the page
Returns: Self for method chaining
control_point_2
control_point_2(self, x: 'float', y: 'float') -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set the second control point (absolute page coordinates).
Args: x: X coordinate on the page y: Y coordinate on the page
Returns: Self for method chaining
dash_pattern
dash_pattern(self, dash_array: 'List[float]', dash_phase: 'float' = 0.0) -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set a dash pattern.
Args: dash_array: List of on/off lengths (e.g., [10, 5] = 10pt on, 5pt off) dash_phase: Offset into the pattern
Returns: Self for method chaining
fill_color
fill_color(self, color: 'Color') -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set the fill color.
Args: color: The fill color
Returns: Self for method chaining
from_point
from_point(self, x: 'float', y: 'float') -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set the starting point of the curve (absolute page coordinates).
Args: x: X coordinate on the page y: Y coordinate on the page
Returns: Self for method chaining
solid
solid(self) -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set curve to solid (no dash pattern).
Returns: Self for method chaining
stroke_color
stroke_color(self, color: 'Color') -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set the stroke color.
Args: color: The stroke color
Returns: Self for method chaining
stroke_width
stroke_width(self, width: 'float') -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set the stroke width.
Args: width: The stroke width in points
Returns: Self for method chaining
to_point
to_point(self, x: 'float', y: 'float') -> "'BezierBuilder'"
Set the ending point of the curve (absolute page coordinates).
Args: x: X coordinate on the page y: Y coordinate on the page
Returns: Self for method chaining
