Description
This method is usually invoked indirectly via the
use method in the RVG, RVG::ClipPath, RVG::Group, and RVG::Pattern classes.
The use object is similar to a group. Any styles specified on the use will propogate to the referenced object. However, styles on the referenced object will override the styles specified on the RVG::Use object.
Arguments
- obj
- The object to be re-used. This is typically a group or RVG object but can also be any
shape, text, or raster image, or even another
use. - x, y
- These arguments can be used to specify an additional translate transformation to be applied to the object within the user coordinate system.
- width, height
- The width and height of the rectangular region in which this object is placed. These arguments are ignored unless object is an RVG object. In this case, the values of width and height override the values of the width and height arguments that were specified when the RVG object was created.
