Canvas

public class Canvas
extends Object

↳	android.graphics.Canvas

Known direct subclasses

RecordingCanvas

RecordingCanvas A Canvas implementation that records view system drawing operations for deferred rendering.

The Canvas class holds the "draw" calls. To draw something, you need 4 basic components: A Bitmap to hold the pixels, a Canvas to host the draw calls (writing into the bitmap), a drawing primitive (e.g. Rect, Path, text, Bitmap), and a paint (to describe the colors and styles for the drawing).

Constants

ALL_SAVE_FLAG

public static final int ALL_SAVE_FLAG

Restore everything when restore() is called (standard save flags).

Note: for performance reasons, it is strongly recommended to pass this - the complete set of flags - to any call to saveLayer() and saveLayerAlpha() variants.

Note: all methods that accept this flag have flagless versions that are equivalent to passing this flag.

Constant Value: 31 (0x0000001f)

disableZ

public void disableZ ()

Disables Z support, preventing any RenderNodes drawn after this point from being visually reordered or having shadows rendered. Note: This is not impacted by any save() or restore() calls as it is not considered to be part of the current matrix or clip. See enableZ()

drawARGB

public void drawARGB (int a, 
                int r, 
                int g,

                float sweepAngle, 
                boolean useCenter, 
                Paint paint)

Draw the specified arc, which will be scaled to fit inside the specified oval.

If the start angle is negative or >= 360, the start angle is treated as start angle modulo 360.

If the sweep angle is >= 360, then the oval is drawn completely. Note that this differs slightly from SkPath::arcTo, which treats the sweep angle modulo 360. If the sweep angle is negative, the sweep angle is treated as sweep angle modulo 360

The arc is drawn clockwise. An angle of 0 degrees correspond to the geometric angle of 0 degrees (3 o'clock on a watch.)

`right`	`float`
`bottom`	`float`
`startAngle`	`float`: Starting angle (in degrees) where the arc begins
`sweepAngle`	`float`: Sweep angle (in degrees) measured clockwise

                int height, 
                boolean hasAlpha, 
                Paint paint)

This method is deprecated.
Usage with a hardware accelerated canvas requires an internal copy of color buffer contents every time this method is called. Using a Bitmap avoids this copy, and allows the application to more explicitly control the lifetime and copies of pixel data.

Treat the specified array of colors as a bitmap, and draw it. This gives the same result as first creating a bitmap from the array, and then drawing it, but this method avoids explicitly creating a bitmap object which can be more efficient if the colors are changing often.

Parameters
`colors`	`int`: Array of colors representing the pixels of the bitmap This value cannot be `null`.
`offset`	`int`: Offset into the array of colors for the first pixel
`stride`	`int`: The number of colors in the array between rows (must be >= width or <= -width).
`x`	`float`: The X coordinate for where to draw the bitmap
`y`	`float`: The Y coordinate for where to draw the bitmap
`width`	`int`: The width of the bitmap
`height`	`int`: The height of the bitmap
`hasAlpha`	`boolean`: True if the alpha channel of the colors contains valid values. If false, the alpha byte is ignored (assumed to be 0xFF for every pixel).
`paint`	`Paint`: May be null. The paint used to draw the bitmap This value may be `null`.

                int y, 
                int width, 
                int height, 
                boolean hasAlpha, 
                Paint paint)

drawBitmap

public void drawBitmap (Bitmap bitmap, 
                Rect src, 
                Rect dst, 
                Paint paint)

Draw the specified bitmap, scaling/translating automatically to fill the destination rectangle. If the source rectangle is not null, it specifies the subset of the bitmap to draw.

Note: if the paint contains a maskfilter that generates a mask which extends beyond the bitmap's original width/height (e.g. BlurMaskFilter), then the bitmap will be drawn as if it were in a Shader with CLAMP mode. Thus the color outside of the original width/height will be the edge color replicated.

This function ignores the density associated with the bitmap. This is because the source and destination rectangle coordinate spaces are in their respective densities, so must already have the appropriate scaling factor applied.

Parameters
`bitmap`	`Bitmap`: The bitmap to be drawn This value cannot be `null`.
`src`	`Rect`: May be null. The subset of the bitmap to be drawn This value may be `null`.
`dst`	`Rect`: The rectangle that the bitmap will be scaled/translated to fit into This value cannot be `null`.
`paint`	`Paint`: May be null. The paint used to draw the bitmap This value may be `null`.

Draw the specified bitmap, scaling/translating automatically to fill the destination rectangle. If the source rectangle is not null, it specifies the subset of the bitmap to draw.

Parameters
`bitmap`	`Bitmap`: The bitmap to be drawn This value cannot be `null`.
`src`	`Rect`: May be null. The subset of the bitmap to be drawn This value may be `null`.
`dst`	`RectF`: The rectangle that the bitmap will be scaled/translated to fit into This value cannot be `null`.

Parameters
`bitmap`	`Bitmap`: The bitmap to be drawn This value cannot be `null`.
`left`	`float`: The position of the left side of the bitmap being drawn
`top`	`float`: The position of the top side of the bitmap being drawn

                int colorOffset, 
                Paint paint)

Draw the bitmap through the mesh, where mesh vertices are evenly distributed across the bitmap. There are meshWidth+1 vertices across, and meshHeight+1 vertices down. The verts array is accessed in row-major order, so that the first meshWidth+1 vertices are distributed across the top of the bitmap from left to right. A more general version of this method is drawVertices(). Prior to API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.P Build.VERSION_CODES.P vertOffset and colorOffset were ignored, effectively treating them as zeros. In API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.P Build.VERSION_CODES.P and above these parameters will be respected.

                float y, 
                boolean isRtl, 
                Paint paint)

Draw a run of text, all in a single direction, with optional context for complex text shaping.

See drawTextRun(java.lang.CharSequence, int, int, int, int, float, float, boolean, android.graphics.Paint) for more details. This method uses a MeasuredText rather than CharSequence to represent the string.

Parameters
`text`	`MeasuredText`: the text to render This value cannot be `null`.
`start`	`int`: the start of the text to render. Data before this position can be used for shaping context.
`end`	`int`: the end of the text to render. Data at or after this position can be used for shaping context.
`contextStart`	`int`: the index of the start of the shaping context
`contextEnd`	`int`: the index of the end of the shaping context
`x`	`float`: the x position at which to draw the text
`y`	`float`: the y position at which to draw the text
`isRtl`	`boolean`: whether the run is in RTL direction
`paint`	`Paint`: the paint This value cannot be `null`.

drawTextRun

public void drawTextRun (char[] text, 
                int index, 
                int count, 
                int contextIndex, 
                int contextCount, 
                float x, 
                float y, 
                boolean isRtl, 
                Paint paint)

Draw a run of text, all in a single direction, with optional context for complex text shaping.

See drawTextRun(java.lang.CharSequence, int, int, int, int, float, float, boolean, android.graphics.Paint) for more details. This method uses a character array rather than CharSequence to represent the string. Also, to be consistent with the pattern established in drawText(char[], int, int, float, float, Paint), in this method count and contextCount are used rather than offsets of the end position; count = end - start, contextCount = contextEnd - contextStart.

Parameters
`text`	`char`: the text to render This value cannot be `null`.
`index`	`int`: the start of the text to render
`count`	`int`: the count of chars to render
`contextIndex`	`int`: the start of the context for shaping. Must be no greater than index.
`contextCount`	`int`: the number of characters in the context for shaping. contexIndex + contextCount must be no less than index + count.
`x`	`float`: the x position at which to draw the text
`y`	`float`: the y position at which to draw the text
`isRtl`	`boolean`: whether the run is in RTL direction
`paint`	`Paint`: the paint This value cannot be `null`.

drawTextRun

public void drawTextRun (CharSequence text, 
                int start, 
                int end, 
                int contextStart, 
                int contextEnd, 
                float x, 
                float y, 
                boolean isRtl, 
                Paint paint)

Draw a run of text, all in a single direction, with optional context for complex text shaping.

The run of text includes the characters from start to end in the text. In addition, the range contextStart to contextEnd is used as context for the purpose of complex text shaping, such as Arabic text potentially shaped differently based on the text next to it.

All text outside the range contextStart..contextEnd is ignored. The text between start and end will be laid out and drawn. The context range is useful for contextual shaping, e.g. Kerning, Arabic contextural form.

The direction of the run is explicitly specified by isRtl. Thus, this method is suitable only for runs of a single direction. Alignment of the text is as determined by the Paint's TextAlign value. Further, 0 <= contextStart <= start <= end <= contextEnd <= text.length must hold on entry.

Also see Paint.getRunAdvance(char[], int, int, int, int, boolean, int) for a corresponding method to measure the text; the advance width of the text drawn matches the value obtained from that method.

Parameters
`text`	`CharSequence`: the text to render This value cannot be `null`.
`start`	`int`: the start of the text to render. Data before this position can be used for shaping context.
`end`	`int`: the end of the text to render. Data at or after this position can be used for shaping context.
`contextStart`	`int`: the index of the start of the shaping context
`contextEnd`	`int`: the index of the end of the shaping context
`x`	`float`: the x position at which to draw the text
`y`	`float`: the y position at which to draw the text
`isRtl`	`boolean`: whether the run is in RTL direction
`paint`	`Paint`: the paint This value cannot be `null`.

drawVertices

public void drawVertices (Canvas.VertexMode mode, 
                int vertexCount, 
                float[] verts, 
                int vertOffset, 
                float[] texs, 
                int texOffset, 
                int[] colors, 
                int colorOffset, 
                short[] indices, 
                int indexOffset, 
                int indexCount, 
                Paint paint)

Draw the array of vertices, interpreted as triangles (based on mode). The verts array is required, and specifies the x,y pairs for each vertex. If texs is non-null, then it is used to specify the coordinate in shader coordinates to use at each vertex (the paint must have a shader in this case). If there is no texs array, but there is a color array, then each color is interpolated across its corresponding triangle in a gradient. If both texs and colors arrays are present, then they behave as before, but the resulting color at each pixels is the result of multiplying the colors from the shader and the color-gradient together. The indices array is optional, but if it is present, then it is used to specify the index of each triangle, rather than just walking through the arrays in order.

Parameters
`mode`	`Canvas.VertexMode`: How to interpret the array of vertices This value cannot be `null`.
`vertexCount`	`int`: The number of values in the vertices array (and corresponding texs and colors arrays if non-null). Each logical vertex is two values (x, y), vertexCount must be a multiple of 2.
`verts`	`float`: Array of vertices for the mesh This value cannot be `null`.
`vertOffset`	`int`: Number of values in the verts to skip before drawing.
`texs`	`float`: May be null. If not null, specifies the coordinates to sample into the current shader (e.g. bitmap tile or gradient) This value may be `null`.
`texOffset`	`int`: Number of values in texs to skip before drawing.
`colors`	`int`: May be null. If not null, specifies a color for each vertex, to be interpolated across the triangle. This value may be `null`.
`colorOffset`	`int`: Number of values in colors to skip before drawing.
`indices`	`short`: If not null, array of indices to reference into the vertex (texs, colors) array. This value may be `null`.
`indexOffset`	`int`
`indexCount`	`int`: number of entries in the indices array (if not null).
`paint`	`Paint`: Specifies the shader to use if the texs array is non-null. This value cannot be `null`.

enableZ

public void enableZ ()

Enables Z support which defaults to disabled. This allows for RenderNodes drawn with drawRenderNode(android.graphics.RenderNode) to be re-arranged based off of their RenderNode#getElevation() and RenderNode#getTranslationZ() values. It also enables rendering of shadows for RenderNodes with an elevation or translationZ.

Any draw reordering will not be moved before this call. A typical usage of this might look something like:

     void draw(Canvas canvas) {
         // Draw any background content
         canvas.drawColor(backgroundColor);

         // Begin drawing that may be reordered based off of Z
         canvas.enableZ();
         for (RenderNode child : children) {
             canvas.drawRenderNode(child);
         }
         // End drawing that may be reordered based off of Z
         canvas.disableZ();

         // Draw any overlays
         canvas.drawText("I'm on top of everything!", 0, 0, paint);
     }

Note: This is not impacted by any save() or restore() calls as it is not considered to be part of the current matrix or clip. See disableZ()

getClipBounds

public boolean getClipBounds (Rect bounds)

Return the bounds of the current clip (in local coordinates) in the bounds parameter, and return true if it is non-empty. This can be useful in a way similar to quickReject, in that it tells you that drawing outside of these bounds will be clipped out.

Parameters
`bounds`	`Rect`: Return the clip bounds here. If it is null, ignore it but still return true if the current clip is non-empty. This value may be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the current clip is non-empty.

getClipBounds

public final Rect getClipBounds ()

Retrieve the bounds of the current clip (in local coordinates).

Returns
`Rect`	the clip bounds, or [0, 0, 0, 0] if the clip is empty. This value cannot be `null`.

getDensity

public int getDensity ()

Returns the target density of the canvas. The default density is derived from the density of its backing bitmap, or Bitmap#DENSITY_NONE if there is not one.

Returns
`int`	Returns the current target density of the canvas, which is used to determine the scaling factor when drawing a bitmap into it.

Returns the height of the current drawing layer

Returns
`int`	the height of the current drawing layer

getMatrix

public void getMatrix (Matrix ctm)

This method is deprecated.
Hardware accelerated canvases may have any matrix when passed to a View or Drawable, as it is implementation defined where in the hierarchy such canvases are created. It is recommended in such cases to either draw contents irrespective of the current matrix, or to track relevant transform state outside of the canvas.

Return, in ctm, the current transformation matrix. This does not alter the matrix in the canvas, but just returns a copy of it.

Parameters
`ctm`	`Matrix`: This value cannot be `null`.

getMatrix

public final Matrix getMatrix ()

Return a new matrix with a copy of the canvas' current transformation matrix.

Returns
`Matrix`	This value cannot be `null`.

getMaximumBitmapHeight

public int getMaximumBitmapHeight ()

Returns the maximum allowed height for bitmaps drawn with this canvas. Attempting to draw with a bitmap taller than this value will result in an error.

Returns
`int`

See also:

getMaximumBitmapWidth()

getMaximumBitmapWidth

public int getMaximumBitmapWidth ()

Returns the maximum allowed width for bitmaps drawn with this canvas. Attempting to draw with a bitmap wider than this value will result in an error.

Returns
`int`

See also:

getMaximumBitmapHeight()

                float bottom, 
                Canvas.EdgeType type)

This method is deprecated.
The EdgeType is ignored. Use quickReject(float, float, float, float) instead.

Return true if the specified rectangle, after being transformed by the current matrix, would lie completely outside of the current clip. Call this to check if an area you intend to draw into is clipped out (and therefore you can skip making the draw calls).

Parameters
`left`	`float`: The left side of the rectangle to compare with the current clip
`top`	`float`: The top of the rectangle to compare with the current clip
`right`	`float`: The right side of the rectangle to compare with the current clip
`bottom`	`float`: The bottom of the rectangle to compare with the current clip
`type`	`Canvas.EdgeType`: `Canvas.EdgeType#AA` if the path should be considered antialiased, since that means it may affect a larger area (more pixels) than non-antialiased (`Canvas.EdgeType#BW`). This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the rect (transformed by the canvas' matrix) does not intersect with the canvas' clip

quickReject

public boolean quickReject (Path path)

Return true if the specified path, after being transformed by the current matrix, would lie completely outside of the current clip. Call this to check if an area you intend to draw into is clipped out (and therefore you can skip making the draw calls). Note: for speed it may return false even if the path itself might not intersect the clip (i.e. the bounds of the path intersects, but the path does not).

Parameters
`path`	`Path`: The path to compare with the current clip This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the path (transformed by the canvas' matrix) does not intersect with the canvas' clip

Parameters
`rect`	`RectF`: the rect to compare with the current clip This value cannot be `null`.
`type`	`Canvas.EdgeType`: `Canvas.EdgeType#AA` if the path should be considered antialiased, since that means it may affect a larger area (more pixels) than non-antialiased (`Canvas.EdgeType#BW`). This value cannot be `null`.

quickReject

public boolean quickReject (Path path, 
                Canvas.EdgeType type)

This method is deprecated.
The EdgeType is ignored. Use quickReject(android.graphics.Path) instead.

Parameters
`path`	`Path`: The path to compare with the current clip This value cannot be `null`.
`type`	`Canvas.EdgeType`: `Canvas.EdgeType#AA` if the path should be considered antialiased, since that means it may affect a larger area (more pixels) than non-antialiased (`Canvas.EdgeType#BW`). This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the path (transformed by the canvas' matrix) does not intersect with the canvas' clip

quickReject

restore

public void restore ()

This call balances a previous call to save(), and is used to remove all modifications to the matrix/clip state since the last save call. It is an error to call restore() more times than save() was called.

restoreToCount

public void restoreToCount (int saveCount)

Efficient way to pop any calls to save() that happened after the save count reached saveCount. It is an error for saveCount to be less than 1. Example: int count = canvas.save(); ... // more calls potentially to save() canvas.restoreToCount(count); // now the canvas is back in the same state it was before the initial // call to save().

Parameters
`saveCount`	`int`: The save level to restore to.

rotate

public void rotate (float degrees)

Preconcat the current matrix with the specified rotation.

Parameters
`degrees`	`float`: The amount to rotate, in degrees

rotate

public final void rotate (float degrees,

                float py)

Preconcat the current matrix with the specified rotation.

Parameters
`degrees`	`float`: The amount to rotate, in degrees
`px`	`float`: The x-coord for the pivot point (unchanged by the rotation)
`py`	`float`: The y-coord for the pivot point (unchanged by the rotation)

save

public int save ()

Saves the current matrix and clip onto a private stack.

Subsequent calls to translate,scale,rotate,skew,concat or clipRect, clipPath will all operate as usual, but when the balancing call to restore() is made, those calls will be forgotten, and the settings that existed before the save() will be reinstated.

Returns
`int`	The value to pass to restoreToCount() to balance this save()

saveLayer

public int saveLayer (RectF bounds, 
                Paint paint, 
                int saveFlags)

This method is deprecated.
Use saveLayer(android.graphics.RectF, android.graphics.Paint) instead.

This behaves the same as save(), but in addition it allocates and redirects drawing to an offscreen bitmap.

Note: this method is very expensive, incurring more than double rendering cost for contained content. Avoid using this method, especially if the bounds provided are large. It is recommended to use a hardware layer on a View to apply an xfermode, color filter, or alpha, as it will perform much better than this method.

All drawing calls are directed to a newly allocated offscreen bitmap. Only when the balancing call to restore() is made, is that offscreen buffer drawn back to the current target of the Canvas (either the screen, it's target Bitmap, or the previous layer).

Attributes of the Paint - alpha, Xfermode, and ColorFilter are applied when the offscreen bitmap is drawn back when restore() is called. As of API Level API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.P Build.VERSION_CODES.P the only valid saveFlags is ALL_SAVE_FLAG. All other flags are ignored.

Parameters
`bounds`	`RectF`: May be null. The maximum size the offscreen bitmap needs to be (in local coordinates) This value may be `null`.
`paint`	`Paint`: This is copied, and is applied to the offscreen when restore() is called. This value may be `null`.
`saveFlags`	`int`: see _SAVE_FLAG constants, generally `ALL_SAVE_FLAG` is recommended for performance reasons. Value is either `0` or `ALL_SAVE_FLAG`

Returns
`int`	value to pass to restoreToCount() to balance this save()

saveLayer

public int saveLayer (RectF bounds, 
                Paint paint)

This behaves the same as save(), but in addition it allocates and redirects drawing to an offscreen rendering target.

Note: this method is very expensive, incurring more than double rendering cost for contained content. Avoid using this method when possible and instead use a hardware layer on a View to apply an xfermode, color filter, or alpha, as it will perform much better than this method.

All drawing calls are directed to a newly allocated offscreen rendering target. Only when the balancing call to restore() is made, is that offscreen buffer drawn back to the current target of the Canvas (which can potentially be a previous layer if these calls are nested).

Attributes of the Paint - alpha, Xfermode, and ColorFilter are applied when the offscreen rendering target is drawn back when restore() is called.

Parameters
`bounds`	`RectF`: May be null. The maximum size the offscreen render target needs to be (in local coordinates) This value may be `null`.
`paint`	`Paint`: This is copied, and is applied to the offscreen when restore() is called. This value may be `null`.

Returns
`int`	value to pass to restoreToCount() to balance this save()

setDensity(int)
getDensity()

setDensity

public void setDensity (int density)

Specifies the density for this Canvas' backing bitmap. This modifies the target density of the canvas itself, as well as the density of its backing bitmap via Bitmap.setDensity(int).

Parameters
`density`	`int`: The new target density of the canvas, which is used to determine the scaling factor when drawing a bitmap into it. Use `Bitmap#DENSITY_NONE` to disable bitmap scaling.
