MatteBvr Class

Creates an object representing a matte behavior. A matte consists of a path and/or text, and is typically used to clip an image to the shape defined by the path and/or text.

For more information about behaviors, see the Behavior class.

MatteBvr Methods

transform Creates a new matte behavior that is the result of applying the given transformation behavior to the original matte.

newUninitBvr Enables you to refer to a MatteBvr behavior before that behavior has been defined.

transform

MatteBvr Class

Creates a new matte behavior that is the result of applying the given transformation behavior to the original matte. The transformation affects each point behavior in the path that defines the matte.

Syntax

public MatteBvr transform( Transform2Bvr xf );

Parameters

xf
Transform2Bvr object.

Return Value

Returns the MatteBvr object.

Remarks

This attribute composes values.

newUninitBvr

MatteBvr Class

Enables you to refer to a MatteBvr behavior before that behavior has been defined. With this method you can create the behavior and use it in the definition of other behaviors, but not actually define its contents until some later point. (This is accomplished with the init method, which is available on all behaviors.) The system generates a run-time error if you initialize a non-uninitialized behavior, initialize an uninitialized behavior that has already been initialized, or run an initialized behavior that has not yet been initialized.

Syntax

public static MatteBvr newUninitBvr( );

Return Value

Returns the MatteBvr object.
