## Implemented Interfaces

GooCanvasPolylineModel implements GooCanvasItemModel.

## Description

GooCanvasPolylineModel represents a model for polyline items, which are a series of one or more lines, with optional arrows at either end.

It is a subclass of GooCanvasItemModelSimple and so inherits all of the style properties such as "stroke-color", "fill-color" and "line-width".

It also implements the GooCanvasItemModel interface, so you can use the GooCanvasItemModel functions such as `goo_canvas_item_model_raise()` and `goo_canvas_item_model_rotate()`.

To create a GooCanvasPolylineModel use `goo_canvas_polyline_model_new()`, or `goo_canvas_polyline_model_new_line()` for a simple line between two points.

To get or set the properties of an existing GooCanvasPolylineModel, use `g_object_get()` and `g_object_set()`.

To respond to events such as mouse clicks on the polyline you must connect to the signal handlers of the corresponding GooCanvasPolyline objects. (See `goo_canvas_get_item()` and “item-created”.)

## Functions

### goo_canvas_polyline_model_new ()

    GooCanvasItemModel *
    goo_canvas_polyline_model_new (GooCanvasItemModel *parent,
                                   gboolean close_path,
                                   gint num_points,
                                   ...);

Creates a new polyline model.

Here's an example showing how to create a filled triangle with vertices at (100,100), (300,100), and (200,300).

                                                                  200.0, 300.0,
                                                                  "stroke-color", "red",
                                                                  "line-width", 5.0,

                                                                  NULL);

#### Parameters

parent | the parent model, or `NULL`. If a parent is specified, it will assume ownership of the item, and the item will automatically be freed when it is removed from the parent. Otherwise call `g_object_unref()` to free it. | [skip]
close_path | if the last point should be connected to the first. |
num_points | the number of points in the polyline. |
... | the pairs of coordinates for each point in the line, followed by optional pairs of property names and values, and a terminating `NULL`. |

#### Returns

a new polyline model.

### goo_canvas_polyline_model_new_line ()

    GooCanvasItemModel *
    goo_canvas_polyline_model_new_line (GooCanvasItemModel *parent,
                                        gdouble x1,

                                        ...);
