Functions
func PopLayer
func (c *Context) PopLayer() {
if c.layerStack == nil || len(c.layerStack.layers) == 0 {
return
}
// Pop the current layer
layers := c.layerStack.layers
layer := layers[len(layers)-1]
c.layerStack.layers = layers[:len(layers)-1]
// Get parent pixmap (either previous layer or base)
var parentPixmap *Pixmap
if len(c.layerStack.layers) > 0 {
parentPixmap = c.layerStack.layers[len(c.layerStack.layers)-1].pixmap
} else {
// Restore base pixmap
parentPixmap = c.basePixmap
c.basePixmap = nil
}
// Apply mask to layer content before compositing (PushMaskLayer).
if layer.mask != nil {
c.applyMaskToPixmap(layer.pixmap, layer.mask)
}
// Composite layer onto parent
c.compositeLayer(layer, parentPixmap)
// Restore parent pixmap as current drawing target
c.pixmap = parentPixmap
}
func PushLayer
PushLayer creates a new layer and makes it the active drawing target.
All subsequent drawing operations will render to this layer until PopLayer is called.
The layer will be composited onto the parent layer/canvas when PopLayer is called,
using the specified blend mode and opacity.
Parameters:
- blendMode: How to composite this layer onto the parent (e.g., BlendMultiply, BlendScreen)
- opacity: Layer opacity in range [0.0, 1.0] where 0 is fully transparent and 1 is fully opaque
Example:
dc.PushLayer(gg.BlendMultiply, 0.5)
dc.SetRGB(1, 0, 0)
dc.DrawCircle(100, 100, 50)
dc.Fill()
dc.PopLayer() // Composite circle onto canvas with multiply blend at 50% opacity
func (c *Context) PushLayer(blendMode BlendMode, opacity float64) {
// Clamp opacity to valid range
if opacity < 0 {
opacity = 0
}
if opacity > 1 {
opacity = 1
}
// Initialize layer stack if needed
if c.layerStack == nil {
c.layerStack = newLayerStack()
}
// Save base pixmap on first push
if len(c.layerStack.layers) == 0 && c.basePixmap == nil {
c.basePixmap = c.pixmap
}
// Create new pixmap for the layer (same size as context)
layerPixmap := NewPixmap(c.width, c.height)
layerPixmap.Clear(Transparent)
// Create layer
layer := &Layer{
pixmap: layerPixmap,
blendMode: blendMode,
opacity: opacity,
}
// Save current pixmap and switch to layer pixmap
c.layerStack.layers = append(c.layerStack.layers, layer)
c.pixmap = layerPixmap
}
func PushMaskLayer
PushMaskLayer creates an isolated layer with an associated alpha mask.
All subsequent drawing operations render to this layer normally (without masking).
When PopLayer is called, the ENTIRE layer is masked by the mask and then
composited onto the parent using source-over blending with full opacity.
This produces different results from SetMask: PushMaskLayer masks the
composited group, while SetMask masks each shape individually.
Matches Vello push_mask_layer() semantics (research §4).
Example:
mask := gg.NewMaskFromAlpha(maskImage)
dc.PushMaskLayer(mask)
dc.DrawCircle(100, 100, 50)
dc.Fill()
dc.DrawRect(80, 80, 40, 40)
dc.Fill()
dc.PopLayer() // entire layer content masked, then composited
func (c *Context) PushMaskLayer(mask *Mask) {
// Clamp: nil mask means no masking (equivalent to PushLayer).
if mask == nil {
c.PushLayer(BlendNormal, 1.0)
return
}
// Initialize layer stack if needed.
if c.layerStack == nil {
c.layerStack = newLayerStack()
}
// Save base pixmap on first push.
if len(c.layerStack.layers) == 0 && c.basePixmap == nil {
c.basePixmap = c.pixmap
}
// Create new pixmap for the layer (same size as context).
layerPixmap := NewPixmap(c.width, c.height)
layerPixmap.Clear(Transparent)
// Create layer with mask.
layer := &Layer{
pixmap: layerPixmap,
blendMode: BlendNormal,
opacity: 1.0,
mask: mask,
}
// Switch to layer pixmap.
c.layerStack.layers = append(c.layerStack.layers, layer)
c.pixmap = layerPixmap
}
func SetBlendMode
SetBlendMode sets the blend mode for subsequent fill and stroke operations.
This is currently a placeholder for future blend mode support in direct drawing operations.
For now, blend modes are primarily used with layers via PushLayer/PopLayer.
Example:
dc.SetBlendMode(gg.BlendMultiply)
dc.Fill() // Future: will use multiply blend mode
func (c *Context) SetBlendMode(_ BlendMode) {
// Store for future use in paint operations
// Currently, blending is primarily done via layers
}
Structs
type Layer struct
Layer represents a drawing layer with blend mode and opacity.
Layers allow isolating drawing operations and compositing them with
different blend modes and opacity values, similar to layers in Photoshop
or SVG group opacity.
type Layer struct {
pixmap *Pixmap
blendMode BlendMode
opacity float64
mask *Mask // optional alpha mask, applied on PopLayer (nil = no mask)
}
PopLayer composites the current layer onto the parent layer/canvas.
Uses the blend mode and opacity specified in the corresponding PushLayer call.
The layer is composited using the specified blend mode and opacity.
After compositing, the layer's memory is returned to the pool for reuse.
If there are no layers to pop, this function does nothing.
Example:
dc.PushLayer(gg.BlendScreen, 1.0)
// ... draw operations ...
dc.PopLayer() // Composite layer onto parent
