Enum PathOperations

PathOperations enumeration

The operations for the path shapes combining (Boolean operations).

public enum PathOperations

Values

NameValueDescription
ExcludeOverlappingShapes0Exclude Overlapping Shapes (XOR operation).
CombineShapes1Combine Shapes (OR operation). This is default value in Photoshop.
SubtractFrontShape2Subtract Front Shape (NOT operation).
IntersectShapeAreas3Intersect Shape Areas (AND operation).

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the support of new LengthRecord properties, PathOperations (boolean operations), ShapeIndex and BezierKnotRecordsCount.

[C#]

string sourceFilePath = "PathOperationsShape.psd";
string outputFilePath = "out_PathOperationsShape.psd";

using (var im = (PsdImage)Image.Load(sourceFilePath))
{
    VsmsResource resource = null;
    foreach (var layerResource in im.Layers[1].Resources)
    {
        if (layerResource is VsmsResource)
        {
            resource = (VsmsResource)layerResource;
            break;
        }
    }

    LengthRecord lengthRecord0 = (LengthRecord)resource.Paths[2];
    LengthRecord lengthRecord1 = (LengthRecord)resource.Paths[7];
    LengthRecord lengthRecord2 = (LengthRecord)resource.Paths[11];

    // Here we changin the way to combining betwen shapes.
    lengthRecord0.PathOperations = PathOperations.ExcludeOverlappingShapes;
    lengthRecord1.PathOperations = PathOperations.IntersectShapeAreas;
    lengthRecord2.PathOperations = PathOperations.SubtractFrontShape;

    im.Save(outputFilePath);
}
