LWPOLYLINE question

[joris De Bondt]

Hi,

I'm currently exploring the ezdxf package.One of the things I need to do is to draw rectangles and color shade them. Drawing rectangles is not a problem, I can use the msp.add_lwpolyline(points).
But I would like to fill-up the drawn rectangles with different colors . Is there a way to do this?

Regards,
Joris

Hi,

Reading the ezdxf manual again I've found that one can use the Hatch Boundary class to draw the colored rectangles. I've done some initial testing and seems to do what I need. The only thing is when I have 2 overlapping rectangles I would like to send one of them to the background. I didn't find yet a way to do that. Any ideas?

Regards,
Joris

Hi!

The DXF standard does not support/define z-order for 2D elements, AutoCAD draws 

the elements in the order of appearance in the ENTITIES section, but this does not 

guarantee that other CAD application do it the same way.

If you really need full control over layout properties of elements like line width, color, transparency

or z-order of appearance, DXF is NOT the right choice, better formats are SVG or PDF.

Best regards,

Manfred
