Python Painting API

Samuel Simplicio requested to merge samsvp/krita:samsvp/python-painting-api into master

This merge request is based on a previous merge request by Scott Petrovic. It adds function calls into the Document class that allows the user to paint using the python API. Everything is implemented using the KisFigurePaintingToolHelper class.

Test Plan

Run this script (created by Scott to test his API):

from krita import *

activeDocument = Krita.instance().activeDocument()

# paint a line
pointOne = QPoint(0,0)
pointTwo = QPoint(900, 700)
activeDocument.paintLine(pointOne, pointTwo)


# paint a rectangle
paintRect = QRectF(100, 100, 500, 200)
activeDocument.paintRectangle(paintRect)

# paint ellipse
paintRect = QRectF(400, 100, 200, 600)
activeDocument.paintEllipse(paintRect)

# paint polygon
polyPoints = []
polyPoints.append( QPointF(20,20) )
polyPoints.append( QPointF(120,820) )
polyPoints.append( QPointF(920,120) )
activeDocument.paintPolygon(polyPoints)

# paint path
path = QPainterPath()
path.moveTo(500, 500)
path.cubicTo(699, 0,  650, 650,  999, 999)
path.cubicTo(0, 99,  50, 50,  0, 0)
activeDocument.paintPath(path)
