The create an image, first create a buffer using rtgrpblib_create_raster(3) (if you already have one that is large enough, you can reinitialise it with rtgrpblib_reset_raster(3)), and than using the drawing functions (rtgrpblib_draw_linear_bezier(3), rtgrpblib_draw_quadratic_bezier(3), - rtgrpblib_draw_cubic_bezier(3), and rtgrpblib_draw_elliptical_arc(3)) to + rtgrpblib_draw_cubic_bezier(3), and rtgrpblib_draw_circular_arc(3)) to draw the components of each shape's outline. When done, create an image using the rtgrpblib_fill_shapes(3) function: you will receive a ink-level map, where the value 0 means background, and 1 means foreground, and values |
