Why would I declare a newPath() as opposed to defining a BezierPath() with a variable name?
-
Just a matter of convenience, if I'm only using one path?
-
In some cases it's a lot easier to have an object of path to work with, instead of the combo:
newPath(),moveTo(..),lineTo(..),curveTo(..),closePath()stroke(0) fill(None) # create a new path object path = BezierPath() # add a move to to the path object path.moveTo((200, 200)) # add a line to to the path object path.lineTo((200, 100)) # this creates a new path and set it as current path in the stack newPath() # add a move to to the current path moveTo((100, 100)) # add a line to to the current path lineTo((100, 200)) # draw the current path drawPath() # draw the path, instead of the current one drawPath(path)

That's what I suspected. It seemed like the kind of question students would ask and I wanted to make sure the answer I gave was the right one. Thanks, Frederik.
