NAME

       gtk4-path-tool - GskPath Utility

SYNOPSIS

       gtk4-path-tool <COMMAND> [OPTIONS...] <PATH>

       gtk4-path-tool decompose [OPTIONS...] <PATH>
       gtk4-path-tool show [OPTIONS...] <PATH>
       gtk4-path-tool render [OPTIONS...] <PATH>
       gtk4-path-tool reverse [OPTIONS...] <PATH>
       gtk4-path-tool info [OPTIONS...] <PATH>

DESCRIPTION

       gtk4-path-tool  can perform various tasks on paths. Paths are specified in SVG syntax, as strings like "M
       100 100 C 100 200 200 200 200 100 Z".

       To read a path from a file, use a filename that starts with a '.' or a '/'.  To read a path  from  stdin,
       use '-'.

COMMANDS

   Decomposing
       The decompose command approximates the path by one with simpler elements.  When used without options, the
       curves of the path are approximated by line segments.

       --allow-quad
          Allow quadratic Bézier curves to be used in the generated path.

       --allow-cubic
          Allow cubic Bézier curves to be used in the generated path.

       --allow-conic
          Allow conic Bézier curves to be used in the generated path.

   Showing
       The show command displays the given path in a window. The interior of the path is filled.

       --fill
          Fill the path (this is the default).

       --stroke
          Stroke the path instead of filling it.

       --points
          Show points on the path.

       --controls
          Show control points.

       --fill-rule=VALUE
          The  fill  rule  that  is  used  to determine what areas are inside the path.  The possible values are
          winding or even-odd. The default is winding.

       --fg-color=COLOR
          The color that is used to fill the interior of the path or stroke the path.  If not  specified,  black
          is used.

       --bg-color=COLOR
          The color that is used to render the background behind the path.  If not specified, white is used.

       --point-color=COLOR
          The color that is used to render the points.  If not specified, red is used.

       --line-width=VALUE
          The line width to use for the stroke. VALUE must be a positive number.  The default line width is 1.

       --line-cap=VALUE
          The  cap  style  to  use  at  line  ends.  The  possible values are butt, round or square. See the SVG
          specification for details on these styles.  The default cap style is butt.

       --line-join=VALUE
          The join style to use at line joins. The possible values are miter, miter-clip, round, bevel or  arcs.
          See the SVG specification for details on these styles.  The default join style is miter.

       --miter-limit=VALUE
          The limit at which to clip miters at line joins. The default value is 4.

       --dashes=VALUE
          The  dash  pattern  to  use  for this stroke. A dash pattern is specified by a comma-separated list of
          alternating non-negative numbers. Each number provides the length of alternate "on" and "off" portions
          of the stroke.  If the dash pattern is empty, dashing is disabled, which is the default.  See the  SVG
          specification for details on dashing.

       --dash-offset=VALUE
          The offset into the dash pattern where dashing should begin.  The default value is 0.

   Rendering
       The render command renders the given path as a PNG image.  The interior of the path is filled.

       --fill
          Fill the path (this is the default).

       --stroke
          Stroke the path instead of filling it.

       --points
          Show points on the path.

       --controls
          Show control points.

       --fill-rule=VALUE
          The  fill  rule  that  is  used  to determine what areas are inside the path.  The possible values are
          winding or even-odd. The default is winding.

       --fg-color=COLOR
          The color that is used to fill the interior of the path or stroke the path.  If not  specified,  black
          is used.

       --bg-color=COLOR
          The color that is used to render the background behind the path.  If not specified, white is used.

       --point-color=COLOR
          The color that is used to render the points.  If not specified, red is used.

       --output-file=FILE
          The file to save the PNG image to.  If not specified, "path.png" is used.

       --line-width=VALUE
          The line width to use for the stroke. VALUE must be a positive number.  The default line width is 1.

       --line-cap=VALUE
          The  cap  style  to  use  at  line  ends.  The  possible values are butt, round or square. See the SVG
          specification for details on these styles.  The default cap style is butt.

       --line-join=VALUE
          The join style to use at line joins. The possible values are miter, miter-clip, round, bevel or  arcs.
          See the SVG specification for details on these styles.  The default join style is miter.

       --miter-limit=VALUE
          The limit at which to clip miters at line joins. The default value is 4.

       --dashes=VALUE
          The  dash  pattern  to  use  for this stroke. A dash pattern is specified by a comma-separated list of
          alternating non-negative numbers. Each number provides the length of alternate "on" and "off" portions
          of the stroke.  If the dash pattern is empty, dashing is disabled, which is the default.  See the  SVG
          specification for details on dashing.

       --dash-offset=VALUE
          The offset into the dash pattern where dashing should begin.  The default value is 0.

   Reversing
       The reverse command changes the direction of the path. The resulting paths starts where the original path
       ends.

   Info
       The info command shows various information about the given path, such as its bounding box.
