# HitResult

A HitResult object contains information about the results of a hit test. It is returned by `item.hitTest(point)` and `project.hitTest(point)`.

## Properties

* `type`

  Describes the type of the hit result. For example, if you hit a segment point, the type would be `'segment'`.

  * Values:
  * `'segment'`, `'handle-in'`, `'handle-out'`, `'curve'`, `'stroke'`, `'fill'`, `'bounds'`, `'center'`, `'pixel'`
  * Type:
  * `String`
* `name`

  If the HitResult has a `hitResult.type` of `'bounds'`, this property describes which corner of the bounding rectangle was hit.

  * Values:
  * `'top-left'`, `'top-right'`, `'bottom-left'`, `'bottom-right'`, `'left-center'`, `'top-center'`, `'right-center'`, `'bottom- center'`
  * Type:
  * `String`
* `item`

  The item that was hit.

  * Type:
  * `Item`
* `location`

  If the HitResult has a type of ‘curve’ or ‘stroke’, this property gives more information about the exact position that was hit on the path.

  * Type:
  * `CurveLocation`
* `color`

  If the HitResult has a type of ‘pixel’, this property refers to the color of the pixel on the `Raster` that was hit.

  * Type:
  * `Color`⟋`null`
* `segment`

  If the HitResult has a type of ‘stroke’, ‘segment’, ‘handle-in’ or ‘handle-out’, this property refers to the segment that was hit or that is closest to the hitResult.location on the curve.

  * Type:
  * `Segment`
* `point`

  Describes the actual coordinates of the segment, handle or bounding box corner that was hit.

  * Type:
  * `Point`
