SVG_SET_MARKER 


 

SVG_SET_MARKER ( svgObject ; id {; position} ) 
Parameter Type   Description
svgObject  SVG_Ref in Reference of SVG element
id  String in Name of marker
position  String in Position of marker

The SVG_SET_MARKER command can be used to associate a marker with the object having the svgObject reference or to remove an existing marker. If svgObject is not the reference of a 'line', 'path', 'polyline' or 'polygon' element, an error is generated. If the attribute already exists, its value is replaced.

The id parameter is the name of the marker element to be used as specified by the SVG_Define_marker command. If this name does not exist, an error is generated.
In order to remove an existing marker, pass "none" or an empty string in the id parameter. 

The optional position parameter can be used to set the position of the marker with respect to the object. It is possible to place different markers (if desired) at the beginning, end or any other peak of a path. The values may be as follows:

  • start to place a marker at the beginning of the path
  • end to place a marker at the end of the path
  • middle to place a marker at each peak other than at the beginning and end.
  • all to place markers at all peaks of the path.
    If this parameter is omitted, the marker will be placed at the end of the path.

Draw an arrow:

 $SVG:=SVG_New
  `Set the arrow
 $arrow:=SVG_Define_marker($SVG;"arrow";0;5;4;3;-1)
 SVG_SET_VIEWBOX($arrow;0;0;10;10)
 $path:=SVG_New_path($arrow;0;0)
 SVG_SET_FILL_BRUSH($path;"black")
 SVG_PATH_LINE_TO($path;10;5)
 SVG_PATH_LINE_TO($path;0;10)
 SVG_PATH_CLOSE($path)
 
 $line:=SVG_New_path($SVG;100;75)
 SVG_SET_STROKE_WIDTH($line;10)
 SVG_PATH_LINE_TO($line;200;75)
 SVG_PATH_LINE_TO($line;250;125)
  `Put an arrow at the end of a path
 SVG_SET_MARKER($line;" arrow ")

Draw a diagram with different markers at the beginning and end:

 $SVG:=SVG_New
 SVG_SET_DEFAULT_BRUSHES("red";"red")
 
  `Set a circle to mark the points
 $point:=SVG_Define_marker($SVG;"pointMarker";2;2;3;3)
 SVG_SET_VIEWBOX($point;0;0;4;4)
 SVG_New_circle($point;2;2;1)
 
  `Set a square for the starting point
 $start:=SVG_Define_marker($SVG;"startMarker";1;1;2;2)
 SVG_New_rect($start;0;0;2;2)
 
  `Set a triangle for the end point
 $end:=SVG_Define_marker($SVG;"endMarker";5;5;3;3;60)
 SVG_SET_VIEWBOX($end;0;0;10;10)
 SVG_New_regular_polygon($end;10;3)
 
 ARRAY LONGINT($tX;0)
 ARRAY LONGINT($tY;0)
  `X axis
 For($Lon_i;0;200;20)
    APPEND TO ARRAY($tX;$Lon_i+10)
 End for
  `Data
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;100)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;100)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;30)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;30)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;80)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;60)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;10)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;40)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;50)
 APPEND TO ARRAY($tY;70)
 $line:=SVG_New_polyline_by_arrays($SVG;->$tX;->$tY;"red";"none";5)
  `Arrange the markers:
 SVG_SET_MARKER($line;"startMarker";"start")
 SVG_SET_MARKER($line;"pointMarker";"middle")
 SVG_SET_MARKER($line;"endMarker";"end")
