Overview

An entity that represents the data inserted from an external file.

reference_entity = doc.pages.first.entities.first
clip_mask = reference_entity.clip_mask
if clip_mask.is_a?(Layout::Rectangle)
  point1 = Geom::Point2d.new(1, 1)
  point2 = Geom::Point2d.new(2, 2)
  bounds = [point1, point2]
  reference_entity.clip_mask = Layout::Ellipse.new(bounds)
end

#clip_mask=(clip_mask) ⇒ Object

The #clip_mask= method sets the clip mask of the Layout::ReferenceEntity. clip_mask can be a Layout::Rectangle, Ellipse, or Path, or nil, and it must not currently exist in a Document, or Group.

Examples:

doc = Layout::Document.open("C:/path/to/document.layout")
reference_entity = doc.pages.first.entities.first
point1 = Geom::Point2d.new(1, 1)
point2 = Geom::Point2d.new(2, 2)
bounds = [point1, point2]
clip_mask = Layout::Rectangle.new(bounds)
reference_entity.clip_mask = clip_mask

Parameters:

• clip_mask (Layout::Entity, nil) —

  The clip mask can be a Path, Layout::Rectangle, Ellipse, or nil.

Raises:

• (ArgumentError) —

  if clip mask is already in a Document or Group

• (ArgumentError) —

  if clip mask is not a Path, Layout::Rectangle, or Ellipse

• (LockedLayerError) —

  if the Layout::ReferenceEntity is on a locked Layer

• (LockedEntityError) —

  if the Layout::ReferenceEntity is locked
