Module gears.shape
Module dedicated to gather common shape painters.
It add the concept of “shape” to Awesome. A shape can be applied to a background, a margin, a mask or a drawable shape bounding.
The functions exposed by this module always take a context as first parameter followed by the widget and height and additional parameters.
The functions provided by this module only create a path in the content.
to actually draw the content, use cr:fill(), cr:mask(), cr:clip() or
cr:stroke()
In many case, it is necessary to apply the shape using a transformation
such as a rotation. The preferred way to do this is to wrap the function
in another function calling cr:rotate() (or any other transformation
matrix).
To specialize a shape where the API doesn’t allows extra arguments to be passed, it is possible to wrap the shape function like:
local new_shape = function(cr, width, height) gears.shape.rounded_rect(cr, width, height, 2) end
Many elements can be shaped. This include:
- clients (see gears.surface.apply_shape_bounding)
- wiboxes (see wibox.shape)
- All widgets (see wibox.container.background)
- The progressbar (see wibox.widget.progressbar.bar_shape)
- The graph (see wibox.widget.graph.step_shape)
- The checkboxes (see wibox.widget.checkbox.check_shape)
- Images (see wibox.widget.imagebox.clip_shape)
- The taglist tags (see awful.widget.taglist)
- The tasklist clients (see awful.widget.tasklist)
- The tooltips (see awful.tooltip)
