Purpose of JDOR (Java Drawing for ooRexx)

JDOR (Java drawing for ooRexx) is a Rexx command handler (implemented in Java taking advantage of BSF4ooRexx850 and later) that makes Java's 2D functionality available to Rexx programmers via commands that simplify the interaction, yet allow for creating the most challenging graphics (images) from Rexx.

Example "jdor_doc_sample.rex":

    jdor=.bsf~new("org.oorexx.handlers.jdor.JavaDrawingHandler")   -- create a JDOR handler
    call BsfCommandHandler "add", "JDOR", jdor   -- add the JDOR handler to ooRexx
    address JDOR            -- set default environment to the JDOR command handler
        -- now we may use JDOR commands, executed by default by the JDOR command handler
    width =220              -- define width of image in pixels (there are 72 px to an inch)
    height=250              -- define height of image in pixels (there are 72 px to an inch)
    newImage width height   -- create new bitmap with currX=0, currY=0, width=220, height=250
    winShow                 -- show frame on screen
       -- draw two lines forming a big X
    drawLine (width-1) (height-1) -- from currX=0, currY=0
    color red               -- set the color to red (preregistered with nickname "RED")
    moveTo (width-1) 0      -- currX=219, currY=0
    position                -- query current position
    say "--> rc="pp(rc)     -- RC refers to the previous command's result: "219 0" (currX=219, currY=0)
    drawLine 0 (height-1)   -- from currX=219, currY=0
       -- draw a rectangle at the center of the bitmap
    len = 50                -- drawing a rectangle with each side being 50 px (a square)
    moveTo (width-len)/2 (height-len)/2 -- go to the center minus half of the square's side lengths
    color green             -- set color to green (preregistered with nickname "GREEN")
    fillRect len len        -- fill the square with the green color
    stroke str3 3           -- set line stroke to 3 points width, store it with nickname "STR3"
    color blue              -- set color to blue (preregistered with nickname "BLUE")
    drawRect len len        -- draw the frame with the blue color
       -- draw a string (text) at the lower half of the bitmap
    color somePurple 127 46 111   -- define a custom RGB color, store it with nickname "SOMEPURPLE"
    color                   -- query current color
    say "--> rc="pp(rc)     -- show result from command (a Java color object)
    say "    rc~toString:" pp(rc~toString) -- shows the RGB intensities of the current color
       -- draw three lines of centered strings at the bottom
    lineHeight = 15         -- default font size is 12px, add 3 px lead
    newY=height-40          -- draw the three strings at the bottom
    clrs=("somePurple", "blue", "gray")  -- define three different colors
    text=("Hello, Rexx world ...", "... from JDOR ...", "(a Rexx command handler)") -- array of 3 strings
    do counter c i=0 to 30 by lineHeight   -- iterate over array of strings
       s=text[c]            -- fetch the string to draw from array
       stringBounds s       -- get the bounding box dimensions for this string
       parse var rc . . w . -- parse the width of the string's bounding box
       moveTo (width-w)/2 (newY+i)   -- calc x position to center this string, set y position
       color clrs[c]        -- fetch and use the color from the array
       drawString s         -- draw the string
    end
       -- save the current image
    saveImage "jdor_doc_sample.png"  -- save image to file "jdor_doc_sample.png"
    sleep 3.123             -- sleep for 3.123 seconds
     
    ::requires "BSF.CLS"    -- get ooRexx-Java bridge, contains JDOR Rexx command handler

    --> rc=[219 0]

        rc~toString: [java.awt.Color[r=127,g=46,b=111]] 

Brief Overview

The JDOR Rexx command handler makes Java2D functionality available to Rexx programmers. The commands are formed after the methods in the java.awt.Graphics and java.awt.Graphics2D Java classes. The only difference is that the x and y co-ordinates used by many methods as their first two arguments are handled differently. The Rexx programmer defines these co-ordinates with the moveTo x y command preceding command and they are therefore omitted from the Rexx commands matching the Java method names.

Many methods in the classes Graphis[2D] expect arguments to be integers. To ease programming argument values that may be calculated (e.g. x or y positions, width, height, ...) and yield decimal numbers will get rounded to integer values by JDOR.

Hint: using the redirection option of the Rexx ADDRESS keyword instruction (i.e., its WITH subkeyword with the redirection definitions) has the following effects:

• redirecting INPUT: all commands are taken and processed from the redirected input, e.g., from the .input monitor (defaults to the .stdin stream):
  Hint: to activate output of executed JDOR commands in canonized form one can redirect like this:

  ADDRESS JDOR WITH using input (.input) /* activate input redirection */ 

  Note: you need to supply at least one command (e.g. a comment command like "-- some comment") to the command handler such that it gets invoked and becomes able to note that input is redirected, such that it takes the commands from the redirected input.

• redirecting OUTPUT: all processed commands will be put into the output target in canonical form, thereby standardizing the names and arguments of the commands. The output can be regarded as a saved macro that can be replayed by redirecting the INPUT in another JDOR program to it.
  In the case that an error or failure is caused by a command it will be put into a comment with information about the error or failure (in this case supplying more detailed information, like the exact location).
  Hint: to activate output of executed JDOR commands in canonized form one can redirect like this (the .output monitor defaults to the .stdout stream):

  ADDRESS JDOR WITH using output (.output) /* activate output redirection */ 

• redirecting ERROR: all commands causing an error or failure condition will supplied together with the kind of error or failure. In the case of a failure more detailed information gets supplied, like the exact location.
  Hint: while developing or changing JDOR programs one can get the detailed error and failure information by redirecting like this (the .error monitor defaults to the .stderr stream):

  ADDRESS JDOR WITH using error (.error) /* activate error redirection */ 

  In addition ooRexx will communicate the result of executing a command by setting the environment symbol .RS (value 0 indicates successful completion, -1 indicates a failure and 1 indicates an error).
  Once all errors and failures got fixed, the production code may then remove error redirection by changing the above redirection statetement to:

  ADDRESS JDOR /* all unqualified commands should go to this handler */
  

The ADDRESS keyword instruction is documented in the ooRexx reference book (rexxref.pdf) in "Chapter 2. Keyword Instructions", section "2.1 ADDRESS").

Some Terms and their Informal Definition
 

AffineTransform

The Java class java.awt.geom.AffineTransform allows to define and maintain the translate, scale, shear factors in a matrix. java.awt.Graphics2D methods use it to calculate the effective x and y values.
The commands translate, scale, shear will cause the respective factors to be changed accordingly in the Graphics2D's maintained AffineTransform.
The transform command allows to interact with the Graphics2D's AffineTransform to query, set or reset the six transform factors translateX, translateY, scaleX, scaleY, shearX, shearY directly.

coordinate system

The 0-based, two dimensional coordinate system to address each pixel of an image of width and height in size. The location (coordinate) x=0 and y=0 as the origin denotes the pixel in the upper left hand corner. Increasing x moves along to the right (along the x-axis), increasing y moves along to the bottom (along the y-axis).

"comment command"

Sometimes it is desired to turn a command (maybe temporarily) into a comment, such that it does not get executed. JDOR treats all commands as comments that start with any of the following characters: - (dash), ; (semi colon), / (slash), " (double quote), ' (single quote), . (dot), : (colon), ! (exclamation mark), ? (question mark), _ (underscore). Therefore it is sufficient to prefix a command with one of these characters in order to turn it into "comment command".
If the output is redirected comment commands will be passed on to it.

currX, currY

currX and currY denote the current position of the starting (upper left hand) point used when clearing, drawing or filling. It can be set with the goto x y command (alias names for this command are location x y, moveTo x y, pos x y and position x y). The JDOR command handler will insert currX and currY whenever an x and y position must be supplied to a Java2D method.

clip

A rectangular area which gets affected by drawings and fills. Any pixels outside the defined clip (clipping area) do not change.

dashArray

The command stroke allows for an argument dashArray that represents an array of float values. There are two possibilities to supply this array to the command:

• either as a string consisting of a comma separated list of numbers in parentheses (must be quoted to form a valid Rexx string and must not contain whitespace) e.g.: "(1,3,1,3)"
• or passing a Rexx variable that refers to the appropriate Java array e.g.:
  dashArray=bsf.createJavaArrayOf("float.class", 1, 3, 1, 3) and then submitting the quoted name of the Rexx variable, e.g., "dashArray", as array argument; the command handler will then fetch the array from the Rexx variable (after fetching the Rexx variable by name from the command context).
  Note: if output is redirected the executed JDOR command will use the string representation in the canonized form.

GC

A graphic context, an instance of the Java class java.awt.Graphics or java.awt.Graphics2D which allows for interacting (drawing, transforming, etc.) with an image (a bitmap) and maintains its state (i.e. current origin, current rotation, current color, ...). The command GC allows for retrieving the current GC.

image type

The image type defines the basic properties of an image and also determines in which format an image can be stored in the file system. The supported types are defined as constants in the Java class java.awt.image.BufferedImage and are listed in the command newImage, subsection arguments.

pixel

picture element, usually the size of 1/72 of an inch

RGB color

A color mix of the colors red, green, and blue, each defined as an intensity between the integer values 0 and 255 or alternatively as a float value between 0.0 (0.0%) and 1.0 (100.0%) representing the percentage of the intensity (e.g. 0.5 represents 50.0% intensity).
Note: if any of the supplied numbers includes the decimal dot then all the numbers are taken as float values.

RGBA color

A color mix of the colors red, green, blue, and alpha each defined as an intensity between the integer values 0 and 255 or alternatively as a float value between 0.0 (0.0%) and 1.0 (100.0%) representing the percentage of the intensity (e.g. 0.5 represents 50.0% intensity).
Note: if any of the supplied numbers includes the decimal dot then all the numbers are taken as float values.
Note: an alpha intensity of 0 means "complete transparency", and an intensity of 255 (or expressed as a float value of exactly 1.0) means "no transparency".

rotate

A positive or negative value in degrees (0-360) to rotate the image. Note: the Java method rotate(angle) expects the value to be in radians, whereas this command expects degrees! The rotate command will convert the degree value (easier for humans) to radians before invoking the Java method (cf. Wikipedia Gradian article).
Note: if it is needed to translate radians to degrees then one could use java.lang.Math's method toDegree(radians) (to invert one could use the its method toRadians(degrees)).

scale

A positive or negative value used to multiply the width and height values, cf. the command scale.

shear

A positive or negative value used to slant a drawing, also known as skewing, cf. the command shear.

translate

Moving the origin to a different position, such that the effective x and y coordinates get calculated relative to the new origin, cf. the command translate.

xPoints-array, yPoints-array

The commands drawPolygon, drawPolyline or fillPolygon expect two arrays for the x and y coordinates of the points, respectively. There are two possibilities to supply these arrays to the JDOR command handler:

• either as a string consisting of a comma separated list of numbers in parentheses (must be quoted to form a valid Rexx string and must not contain whitespace) e.g.: "(10,30,40,50,110,140)"
• or passing a Rexx variable that refers to the appropriate Java array e.g.:
  xPoints=bsf.createJavaArrayOf("int.class", 10, 30, 40, 50, 110, 140) and then submitting the quoted name of the Rexx variable, e.g. "xPoints", as array argument; the command handler will then fetch the array from the Rexx variable (after fetching the Rexx variable by name from the command context)
  Note: if output is redirected the executed JDOR command will use the string representation in the canonized form.

Synopsis of the JDOR Rexx Commands

In general the arguments to a command are blank delimited. If supplying a Rexx variable, its referred to value will be supplied, if using a Rexx expression it will be evaluated and the resulting value will be supplied to the Rexx command handler.

If you wish to supply the name of a Rexx variable to a command (e.g. for the commands drawPolygon, drawPolyline, fillPolygon or getState) then make sure to enquote that variable name as otherwise its value gets supplied instead.

Commands need not be enquoted, unless their names collide with Rexx keyword names (which at the time of writing does not happen) or are used as Rexx variable names in your program.

Unquoted literals will be uppercased according to the Rexx rules and then supplied to the command handler. If commands or arguments are unquoted then they get uppercased as well and blanks between them will be reduced to a single blank according to the Rexx rules before supplying the resulting command with arguments to the Rexx command handler.

Hint: in general any command that allows for querying and setting a value will return the current value and in the case of setting it to a new value will return the old (previously current) value.

	Command	Argument(s)	Description
	"areaAdd" "areaUnion"	The constructive area geometry (CAG) "add" operation, cf. Constructing Complex Shapes from Geometry Primitives. The shapeNickName argument gets uppercased and used to look it up in the shape registry or if not found from a Rexx variable of the same name and uses that shape instead.
		areaNickName shapeNickName	areaNickName the registered area shape that will be changed by adding the area of the shapeNickName as the argument. If shapeNickName is not yet of type java.awt.geom.Area then an Area gets created from it and used as the argument.
	"areaExclusiveOr" "areaXor"	The constructive area geometry (CAG) "exclusiveOr" operation, cf. Constructing Complex Shapes from Geometry Primitives. The shapeNickName argument gets uppercased and used to look it up in the shape registry or if not found from a Rexx variable of the same name and uses that shape instead.
		areaNickName shapeNickName	areaNickName the registered area shape that will be changed by applying the exclusiveOr operation using the area of the shapeNickName as the argument. If shapeNickName is not yet of type java.awt.geom.Area then an Area gets created from it and used as the argument.
	"areaIntersect"	The constructive area geometry (CAG) "intersect" operation, cf. Constructing Complex Shapes from Geometry Primitives. The shapeNickName argument gets uppercased and used to look it up in the shape registry or if not found from a Rexx variable of the same name and uses that shape instead.
		areaNickName shapeNickName	areaNickName the registered area shape that will be changed by applying the intersect operation using the area of the shapeNickName as argument. If shapeNickName is not yet of type java.awt.geom.Area then an Area gets created from it and used as the argument.
	"areaSubtract"	The constructive area geometry (CAG) "subtract" operation, cf. Constructing Complex Shapes from Geometry Primitives. The shapeNickName argument gets uppercased and used to look it up in the shape registry or if not found from a Rexx variable of the same name and uses that shape instead.
		areaNickName shapeNickName	areaNickName the registered area shape that will be changed by applying the subtract operation using the area of the shapeNickName as argument. If shapeNickName is not yet of type java.awt.geom.Area then an Area gets created from it and used as the argument.
	"areaTransform"	Transforms the area shape. The transformNickName argument gets uppercased and used to look it up in the transform registry or if not found from a Rexx variable of the same name and uses that transform (an AffinityTransform) instead.
		areaNickName transformNickName	Transforms the area shape stored under the areaNickName and applies the transform stored under the transformNickName to it.
	"assignRC"	Allows to assign the current value of the Rexx variable RC (set when a command returns a value) to a Rexx variable with the supplied name. This allows for creating self contained macros (redirecting the output will protocol the commands which can later be used for replaying those commands) that need to refer to returned values later. Note: supplying Rexx variable names to commands will supply the value the Rexx variable points to. Therefore it is advised to enquote such commands, at least the Rexx variable name argument.
		rexxVariableName	The name of a Rexx variable which gets the current value of the Rexx variable RC assigned to for later use.
	"background"	Queries and optionally sets the background color to a registered color. Querying the current value (no argument supplied) will return it, setting (changing) the value to a new color value will return the old (previously set) value via the Rexx variable RC. Cf. the Java documentation for the Java class Graphics[2D] and the methods: getBackground(), setBackground(...).
		colorNickName	The name of a registered color (cf. color command) or the name of a Rexx variable referring to a color to which the background color should be set to.
	"clearRect"	Clears a rectangle of the supplied width and height at the current x and y position (cf. goto command), using the background (cf. background command) color. Cf. the Java documentation for the Java class Graphics[2D] and the method clearRect(...).
		width height	width and height in pixels of the rectangle.
	"clip"	Queries and optionally sets a clipping area of an image. Returns a blank delimited string with the x, y, width and height values of the previously defined clipping rectangle (area) or .nil if no such area was defined via the Rexx variable RC. If a clipping area exists already, then the intersection with it will be the new clipping area. Cf. the Java documentation for the Java class Graphics[2D] and the methods getClipBounds(), clipRect(...).
		x y width height	x position on the x-axis, the y position on the y-axis, the width and the height in pixels of the rectangle.
	"clipRemove"	Removes clip from image, if any defined. Cf. the Java documentation for the Java class Graphics[2D] and the method setClip(null).
	"color" "colour"	Query, get and set, define and set the color. Querying the current value (no argument supplied) will return it, setting (changing) the value to a new value will return the old (previously set) value via the Rexx variable RC. Supplying only the colorNickName argument will load the color from the internal register or from a Rexx variable by that name referring to a color and assign it to the GC to be used for drawing from now on. Supplying in addition intensity (cf. RGB color or RGBA color) for the colors red, green, blue, and optionally alpha, a java.awt.Color of that type gets created, registered with the supplied colorNickName and then used for setting the new color. The command name colour is an alias, a synonym for this command. Cf. the Java documentation for the Java class Graphics[2D] and the methods getColor(), setColor(...), as well as the Java class java.awt.Color.
		colorNickName	colorNickName gets uppercased and is used to look up the internal color registry for the denoted color or the name of a Rexx variable referring to a color which should be used from now on. The previously defined color gets gets returned via the Rexx variable RC. The following color names get predefined and can be directly used (cf. the constants defined for javafx.scene.paint.Color which show the color they represent, in addition cf. W3schools HTML color names): AliceBlue, AntiqueWhite, Aqua, Aquamarine, Azure, Beige, Bisque, Black, BlanchedAlmond, Blue, BlueViolet, Brown, BurlyWood, CadetBlue, Chartreuse, Chocolate, Coral, CornflowerBlue, Cornsilk, Crimson, Cyan, DarkBlue, DarkCyan, DarkGoldenRod, Dark_Gray, DarkGray, DarkGrey, DarkGreen, DarkKhaki, DarkMagenta, DarkOliveGreen, DarkOrange, DarkOrchid, DarkRed, DarkSalmon, DarkSeaGreen, DarkSlateBlue, DarkSlateGray, DarkSlateGrey, DarkTurquoise, DarkViolet, DeepPink, DeepSkyBlue, DimGray, DimGrey, DodgerBlue, FireBrick, FloralWhite, ForestGreen, Fuchsia, Gainsboro, GhostWhite, Gold, GoldenRod, Gray, Grey, Green, GreenYellow, HoneyDew, HotPink, IndianRed, Indigo, Ivory, Khaki, Lavender, LavenderBlush, LawnGreen, LemonChiffon, LightBlue, LightCoral, LightCyan, LightGoldenRodYellow, Light_Gray, LightGray, LightGrey, LightGreen, LightPink, LightSalmon, LightSeaGreen, LightSkyBlue, LightSlateGray, LightSlateGrey, LightSteelBlue, LightYellow, Lime, LimeGreen, Linen, Magenta, Maroon, MediumAquaMarine, MediumBlue, MediumOrchid, MediumPurple, MediumSeaGreen, MediumSlateBlue, MediumSpringGreen, MediumTurquoise, MediumVioletRed, MidnightBlue, MintCream, MistyRose, Moccasin, NavajoWhite, Navy, OldLace, Olive, OliveDrab, Orange, OrangeRed, Orchid, PaleGoldenRod, PaleGreen, PaleTurquoise, PaleVioletRed, PapayaWhip, PeachPuff, Peru, Pink, Plum, PowderBlue, Purple, RebeccaPurple, Red, RosyBrown, RoyalBlue, SaddleBrown, Salmon, SandyBrown, SeaGreen, SeaShell, Sienna, Silver, SkyBlue, SlateBlue, SlateGray, SlateGrey, Snow, SpringGreen, SteelBlue, Tan, Teal, Thistle, Tomato, Transparent, Turquoise, Violet, Wheat, White, WhiteSmoke, Yellow, YellowGreen
		colorNickName r g b [alpha]	This command creates a color using the supplied intensities (cf. RGB color or RGBA color) for each of the colors red, green, blue and optionally for alpha. This color will be used from now on and gets stored in the color registry using the supplied colorNickName in uppercase. The previously defined color gets returned via the Rexx variable RC.
	"composite"	Queries and optionally sets or creates the composite value (an instance of the Java class java.awt.AlphaComposite). Querying the current value (no argument supplied) will return it, setting (changing) the value to a new value will return the old (previously set) value via the Rexx variable RC. Cf. the Java documentation for the Java class Graphics[2D] and the methods getComposite(), setComposite(...), and the Java class java.awt.AlphaComposite with its constant fields and the method getInstance(...).
		rule [alpha]	rule: is a number or a constant name, i.e. one of CLEAR (1), DST (9), DST_ATOP (11), DST_IN (6), DST_OUT (8), DST_OVER (4), SRC (2), SRC_ATOP (10), SRC_IN (5), SRC_OUT (7), SRC_OVER (3), XOR (12). alpha: is an optional value between 0.0 and 1.0.

	"drawImage"	Draws an image which got previously loaded from the filesystem with the command loadImage and stored internally with an imageNickName in the internal image registry, or an image that got pushed with a imageNickName in the command pushImage, or stored in a Rexx variable. Cf. the Java documentation for the Java class Graphics[2D] and the method drawImage(...).
		imageNickName [bkgColor]	imageNickName denotes the name of an image stored in the internal image registry or the name of a Rexx variable referring to an image. Draws as much of the image as possible. Optional bkgColor is the colorNickName of a previously stored color.
		imageNickName width height [bkgColor]	imageNickName denotes the name of an image stored in the internal image registry or the name of a Rexx variable referring to an image. Draws as much of the image as possible scaled to the width and height in pixels. Optional bkgColor is the colorNickName of a previously stored color.

The JDOR Shape Related Rexx Commands

Java2D introduces the ability to define graphical shapes (cf. interface java.awt.Shape) and use them for constructing Path2D shapes, filling shapes and drawing shapes:

• java.awt.geom.Area
• java.awt.geom.Arc2D
• java.awt.geom.CubicCurve2D
• java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D
• java.awt.geom.Line2D
• java.awt.geom.Path2D
• java.awt.geom.QuadCurve2D
• java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D
• java.awt.geom.RoundRectangle2D

Note: the created shapes use double precision decimal numbers for highest fidelity. E.g. an Arc2D will be created using the Java class Arc2D.Double.

The Shape related JDOR Rexx commands are:

• shape (can be used to create one of the following shapes: Area, Arc2D, CubicCurve2D, Ellipse2D, Line2D, Path2D, QuadCurve2D, Rectangle2D, RoundRectangle2D)
• clipShape (shapeClip)
• drawShape (shapeDraw)
• fillShape (shapeFill)
• pathIterator
• shapeBounds

• areaAdd
• areaExclusiveOr
• areaIntersect
• areaSubtract
• areaTransform

• pathAppend
• pathClone
• pathClose
• pathCurrentPoint
• pathCurveTo
• pathLineTo
• pathMoveTo
• pathQuadTo
• pathReset
• pathTransform
• pathWindingRule

In general the arguments to a command are blank delimited. If supplying a Rexx variable, its referred to value will be supplied, if using a Rexx expression it will be evaluated and the resulting value will be supplied to the Rexx command handler.

If you wish to supply the name of a Rexx variable to a command (e.g. for the command assignRC), then make sure to enquote that variable name as otherwise its value gets supplied instead.

Commands need not be enquoted, unless their names collide with Rexx keyword names (which at the time of writing does not happen) or are used as Rexx variable names in your program.

Unquoted literals will be uppercased according to the Rexx rules and then supplied to the command handler. If commands or arguments are unquoted then they get uppercased as well and blanks between them will be reduced to a single blank according to the Rexx rules before supplying the resulting command with arguments to the Rexx command handler.

	Command	Argument(s)	Description
	"shape"	Queries or creates a named Shape. Querying will return the stored shape, creating a new shape will store it with the supplied shapeNickName and return it via the Rexx variable RC.
		shapeNickName	The name Shape that gets returned from the registry.
		shapeNickName typeName args	Creates a new Shape of type typeName using args arguments, registers and returns it. typeName arg(s) Brief Description Area shapeNickName Defines a new area shape for the supplied shape. Using an area shape as argument will create a new area shape (effectively a copy). All area related commands start with the word area. Arc | Arc2D x y width height start extent type Defines an arc shape at position x and y in a rectangle of width and height pixels. The arc will be drawn from start degrees to extent degrees counter clock wise. type determines whether it should be left open (OPEN or 0), or a line should be drawn between the starting and the ending point of the arc (CHORD or 1), or a line should get drawn between the starting point, the center point and the ending point of the arc (PIE or 2). bounds start extent type Defines an arc shape at position x and y in a rectangle of width and height pixels as defined by bounds, a Rectangle2D shape. The arc will be drawn from start degrees to extent degrees counter clock wise. type determines whether it should be left open (OPEN or 0), or a line should be drawn between the starting and the ending point of the arc (CHORD or 1), or a line should get drawn between the starting point, the center point and the ending point of the arc (PIE or 2). Cubic | CubicCurve | CubicCurve2D x1 y1 ctrlx1 ctrly1 ctrlx2 ctrly2 x2 y2 Defines a cubic parametric curve shape between the points x1/y1 and x2/y2 controlled by the two control points located at ctrlx1/ctrly1 and ctrlx2/ctrly2. Elli | Ellipse | Ellipse2D x y width height Defines an ellipse (oval) shape at position x and y in a rectangle of width and height pixels. If width and height are of the same length the ellipse (oval) will be a circle. line | Line2D x1 y1 x2 y2 Defines a line shape that will be drawn from position x1/y1 to x2/y2. path | Path2D [rule] Creates a Path2D shape. The optional rule can be either 0 (WIND_EVEN_ODD) or 1 (WIND_NON_ZERO), which is the default. Polygon xPoints-array yPoints-array nPoints Creates a Polygon shape consisting of nPoints taken from the xPoints-array and yPoints-array. If the endpoint is not the same coordinate as the first point, the polygon gets closed by drawing a line from the first to the last point. Quad | QuadCurve | QuadCurve2D x1 y1 ctrlx ctrly x2 y2 Defines a quadratic parametric curve shape between the points x1/y1 and x2/y2 controlled by the control point located at ctrlx/ctrly. Rect | Rectangle | Rectangle2D x y width height Defines a rectangular shape at position x and y of width and height pixels. If width and height are of the same length the rectangle is a square. RoundRect | RoundRectangle | RoundRectangle2D x y width height arcWidth arcHeight Defines a round rectangular shape at position x and y of width and height pixels where the corner arc has arcWidth and arcHeights pixels.
	"clipShape"	Intersects the current clip with the interior of the supplied shape to create a new clip. Cf. Graphics2D.
		shapeNickName	Applies the shape stored with shapeNickName and if not present a Shape a Rexx variable named shapeNickName refers to.
	"drawShape"	Draws the the supplied shape. Cf. Graphics2D.
		shapeNickName	Draws the shape stored with shapeNickName and if not present a Shape a Rexx variable named shapeNickName refers to.
	"fillShape"	Fills the the supplied shape. Cf. Graphics2D.
		shapeNickName	Fills the shape stored with shapeNickName and if not present a Shape a Rexx variable named shapeNickName refers to.
	"pathIterator"	Returns a PathIterator of the supplied shape which can be used as an argument to the pathAppend command. Cf. Shape.
		shapeNickName [transformNickName [flatness]]	Creates and returns a PathIterator for the shape stored with shapeNickName and if not present a Shape a Rexx variable named shapeNickName refers to. If the optional transformNickName is supplied, the stored AffineTransform is used to transform the PathIterator. The optional flatness argument is a decimal value, cf. Shape.getPathIterator(AffineTransform at, double flatness)
	"shapeBounds"	Returns the bounds (a Rectangle2D) of the supplied shape as a blank delimited Rexx string: "x y width height". Cf. Shape.
		shapeNickName	Returns a blank delimited string denoting the bounds (x, y, width, height) for the shape stored with shapeNickName and if not present a Shape a Rexx variable named shapeNickName refers to.

Path2D Related commands

The Path2d (java.awt.geom.Path2D) shape allows for creating any kind of shape and even allows for using any Shape and PathIterator derived (and potentially transformed) from a Shape while building it.

Here the JDOR commands that are related to any Path2d Shape:

	Command	Argument(s)	Description
	"pathAppend"	The named Path2D shape gets appended by the named Shape or PathIterator.
		pNickName spNickName [connect=.true]	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape, spNickName either a Shape or PathIterator that should be appended. The optional connect argument controls whether the appended shape should get connected with a line segment (default).
	"pathClone"	The named Path2D shape gets cloned and returned.
		pNickName [clonedNickName]	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape, that gets cloned and returned. If the optional cloneNickName is specified then the clone gets registered with the uppercased cloneNickName as index.
	"pathClose"	The named Path2D shape will have its current segment closed by drawing a straight line back to the last pathMoveTo position.
		pNickName	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape, of which the last segment gets closed by drawing a line to the last pathMoveTo position.
	"pathCurrentPoint"	Returns the current point (the position of the last pathMoveTo) of the named Path2D shape.
		pNickName	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape, which current point gets returned. Note: if no pathMoveTo was issued yet, then .nil gets returned, otherwise a blank delimited Rexx string in the form of: "x y".
	"pathCurveTo"	Creates a cubic parametric curve segment.
		pNickName ctrlx1 ctrly1 ctrlx2 ctrly2 x y	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape for which a cubic parametric curve segment gets created between the points currentPoint (cf. pathCurrentPoint command above) and the point with the co-ordinate x/y controlled by the two control points located at ctrlx1/ctrly1 and ctrlx2/ctrly2.
	"pathLineTo"	Creates a line segment.
		pNickName x y	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape for which a line segment gets created between the points currentPoint (cf. pathCurrentPoint command above) and the point with the co-ordinate x/y.
	"pathMoveTo"	Adds a point to the path at the supplied position.
		pNickName x y	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape for which a point should get added at x/y (making it the currentPoint, cf. pathCurrentPoint command above).
	"pathQuadTo"	Creates a quadradic parametric curve segment.
		pNickName ctrlx ctrly x y	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape for which a quadradic parametric curve segment gets created between the points currentPoint (cf. pathCurrentPoint command above) and the point with the co-ordinate x/y controlled by the control point located at ctrlx/ctrly.
	"pathReset"	The named Path2D shape will be reset to become empty.
		pNickName	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape, which gets reset to become empty.
	"pathTransform"	The named Path2D shape gets transformed.
		pNickName tNickName	pNickName denotes the name of a Path2D shape, that gets transformed as defined by tNickName (an AffineTransform) retrieved from the registry, and if does not exist from a Rexx variable by that name.
	"pathWindingRule"	Queries or sets the winding rule of the named Path2D shape.
		pNickName [newValue]	Returns or sets the winding rule of the Path2D shape denoted by pNickName. If newValue is supplied, it needs to be WIND_EVEN_ODD or 0, alternatively WIND_NON_ZERO or 1.
