PathPoint.getTangent

Gets the tangent of the path at the point.

Note that certain points on a path may not have a single tangent, such as sharp turns. At such points, there are two tangents -- the direction of the path going into the point, and the direction coming out of it. The direction argument lets you choose which one to get.

If the path is just a single point (e.g. a circle with radius zero), then tangent is set to 0, 0.

If you want to orient something in the direction of the path, gsk.path_point.PathPoint.getRotation may be more convenient to use.

Parameters

path gsk.path.Path

the path that point is on

direction gsk.types.PathDirection

the direction for which to return the tangent

tangent graphene.vec2.Vec2

Return location for the tangent at the point
