CalculateCanvasArea Extension
The CalculateCanvasArea extension is a tool that allows you to draw and calculate areas on a canvas using reference lines. With this extension, you can create shapes on a canvas, measure their areas, and perform various drawing operations. It's a versatile tool for visual calculations and drawing tasks in app development.
SetRedLine
- Description: Sets the red reference line as the horizontal reference.
- Explanation: This method is used to draw a red horizontal line on the canvas. You specify the starting and ending points of the line, as well as its length in meters.
EndRedLine
- Description: End the red line.
- Explanation: This method marks the end of the previously drawn red line on the canvas.
SetBlueLine
- Description: Sets the blue reference line as the vertical reference.
- Explanation: Similar to the red line, this method is used to draw a blue vertical line on the canvas. You specify the starting and ending points of the line, as well as its length in meters.
EndBlueLine
- Description: End the blue line.
- Explanation: Marks the end of the previously drawn blue line on the canvas.
SetActualLengths
- Description: Sets the actual lengths of the reference lines.
- Explanation: You use this method to provide the actual (real-world) lengths of the red and blue reference lines in meters.
CalculateArea
- Description: Calculates the area of the green region.
- Explanation: This method calculates the area of the green region that you draw on the canvas. It takes into account the reference lines' lengths and the shape you've drawn.
ConvertToGrayscale
- Description: Loads an image from a path and converts it to grayscale.
- Explanation: This method allows you to load an image from a file, convert it to grayscale (black and white), and save the converted image.
ResetAreaPoints
- Description: Resets the points in the green area.
- Explanation: If you've drawn multiple points to create a shape on the canvas, this method clears those points.
CalculateDistanceBetweenPoints
- Description: Calculates the distance between two points.
- Explanation: Given the coordinates of two points, this method calculates the straight-line distance between them.
GetTotalPointsCount
- Description: Gets the total number of points in the green area.
- Explanation: This method tells you how many points are currently defining the shape of the green area on the canvas.
GetAreaPerimeter
- Description: Calculates the perimeter of the green area.
- Explanation: This method calculates the total perimeter (outline) length of the shape you've drawn for the green area.
DrawLine
- Description: Draw a line on the active layer.
- Explanation: You can use this method to draw straight lines on the canvas. You specify the starting and ending points, color, and line thickness.
ClearCanvas
- Description: Clears the active layer.
- Explanation: This method erases all drawings and content from the canvas, effectively making it blank.
GetAreaPointsAsList
- Description: Returns the area points as a List.
- Explanation: This method retrieves all the points that define the shape of the green area and returns them as a list.
IsPointInPolygon
- Description: Checks whether a point is inside the polygon.
- Explanation: Given a set of points that define a shape, this method allows you to check if a specific point is inside or outside that shape.
UndoLastPoint
- Description: Undoes the addition of the last point.
- Explanation: If you've added points to create a shape and want to remove the most recently added point, you can use this method.
ImportPoints
- Description: Imports points into the polygon.
- Explanation: You can use this method to replace the current set of points that define the shape with a new set of points provided as a list.
SetCanvasSize
- Description: Set canvas dimensions.
- Explanation: This method allows you to change the size (width and height) of the canvas. It resizes the canvas while preserving its content.
AddBackgroundImage
- Description: Loads an image from a path and adds it to the active layer.
- Explanation: This method lets you load an image from a file and place it on the canvas as a background.
SetCanvas
- Description: Sets the Canvas component used for drawing.
- Explanation: This method associates the canvas with the extension, allowing you to draw on it.
GetCanvasWidth
- Description: Gets the width of the canvas.
- Explanation: This method returns the current width of the canvas.
GetCanvasHeight
- Description: Gets the height of the canvas.
- Explanation: This method returns the current height of the canvas.
