Getting and Setting Curve Error
The curve error property of style objects specifies the allowable amount of error when QuickDraw GX converts a path shape into a polygon shape. It also specifies how far apart geometric points must be for QuickDraw GX to consider them separate points when performing geometric operations on shapes or reducing shapes.For example, when you call the
GXInsetShapefunction on a tight curve, the resulting curve can require many more geometric points than the original curve. QuickDraw GX simplifies the resulting shape by removing geometric points that are within the shape's curve error from another geometric point.You can use the
GXGetStyleCurveErrorfunction to determine the curve error of a style object and theGXSetStyleCurveErrorfunction to change the curve error of a style object.The
GXGetShapeCurveErrorandGXSetShapeCurveErrorfunctions provide a way to determine and change the curve error of the style object associated with a particular shape.
