Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvArrowLine::IlvArrowLine ( IlvDisplay display,
IlFloat  atPos,
const IlvPoint from,
const IlvPoint to,
IlvPalette palette = 0 
)

Constructor.

The constructor initializes a new instance of the IlvArrowLine class, where the starting and ending points are initialized, as well as the arrow location along the line.

Parameters:
display A pointer to the display object that will display this line.
atPos The position of the arrow relative to a line. This must be in the range [0., 1.], where 0. indicates that the arrow is located at the line starting point location, and 1. indicates that the arrow is located at the line ending point.
from The source point of this line.
to The destination point of this line.
palette A pointer to the palette that will be used by this object. If left unspecified or set to 0, the default palette of the display (see IlvDisplay::defaultPalette) will be used.

Member Function Documentation

static void IlvArrowLine::AddProperty ( const IlSymbol key,
IlAny  value 
) [static]

Adds a property to this object's class.

This static function associates the given value with the given key for the class of this object only.

Parameters:
key The key to be associated.
value The value to be associated.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

virtual void IlvArrowLine::boundingBox ( IlvRect bbox,
const IlvTransformer t = 0 
) const [virtual]

Retrieves the bounding box of the graphic object.

Sets bbox, the rectangle reference parameter, to be the bounding box of the object. Since the object can appear within a transformed environment (for example, in a multiview editor), an IlvTransformer object occurs as an optional parameter in order to compute the bounding box in the coordinate system of the transformed environment. When there is no transformation, t is set to 0.

Parameters:
bbox The bounding box to be set.
t A transformer value or 0 if there is no transformation.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

const char* IlvArrowLine::className (  )  const

Returns the class name of an object.

This method is equivalent to getClassInfo()->getClassName().

Returns:
The class name of the object. For example, for an IlvRectangle object, the className function returns "IlvRectangle".

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

virtual IlvGraphic* IlvArrowLine::copy (  )  const [virtual]

Copies this object.

Allocates and returns a copy of this object. If the object is composite, the implementation of this member function makes a copy of the object's components.

Returns:
A copy of the object.
See also:
IlvPredefinedIOMembers.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

virtual void IlvArrowLine::draw ( IlvPort dst,
const IlvTransformer t = 0,
const IlvRegion clip = 0 
) const [virtual]

Draws the graphic object.

Draws the object in the given IlvPort using the transformer t which might have the value 0. The clip parameter, which can also be 0, represents the clipping region relative to the transformed object.

Parameters:
dst The destination port.
t The transformer value. If 0, no transformation is performed.
clip The clipping region, or 0 if none.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

IlFloat IlvArrowLine::getArrowPosition (  )  const

Gets the arrow position.

Returns:
The value of the arrow position.
virtual IlvClassInfo* IlvArrowLine::getClassInfo (  )  const [virtual]

Gets class information.

Returns a pointer to the IlvClassInfo object associated with this object's class.

Returns:
A pointer to the class information object of the class of this object.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

static IlAny IlvArrowLine::GetProperty ( const IlSymbol key,
IlBoolean  checkSuperClass = ((IlBoolean) 0) 
) [static]

Retrieves the property value associated with the key in this object's class.

Retrieves the property value associated with the property name key. If the property cannot be found in the class of this object, and if checkSuperClass is set to IlTrue, then the function operates iteratively on each superclass until the property is found. If the property cannot be found, then 0 is returned.

Parameters:
key The key with which the property value is associated.
checkSuperClass IlTrue specifies iterative search on superclasses.
Returns:
The property value associated with the proper name key, or 0.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

static const IlvClassInfo* IlvArrowLine::HasProperty ( const IlSymbol key,
IlBoolean  checkSuperClass = ((IlBoolean) 0) 
) [static]

Checks for the existence of a property for this object's class hierarchy.

Retrieves a pointer to the IlvClassInfo that indicates a class where the key property exists. If the returned value is non-0, then this property actually exists for this class. If this is not the case and if checkSuperClass is set to IlTrue, then the function operates iteratively on each superclass until a match is found. If the property cannot be found, then 0 is returned.

Parameters:
key The key with which the property value is associated.
checkSuperClass IlTrue specifies iterative search on superclasses.
Returns:
A pointer to the ClassInfo that indicates a class where the key property exists, or 0.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

IlBoolean IlvArrowLine::isSubtypeOf ( const IlvClassInfo classInfo  )  const

Checks whether this object's class is a subclass.

This method is equivalent to getClassInfo()->isSubtypeOf(classInfo).

Parameters:
classInfo The name of a class on which the object's class is tested.
Returns:
Either IlTrue or IlFalse, depending on whether or not this object's class is a subclass of the class indicated by classInfo.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

IlBoolean IlvArrowLine::isSubtypeOf ( const char *  parentClass  )  const

Checks whether this object's class is a subclass of a given parent class.

This method is equivalent to getClassInfo()->isSubtypeOf(parentClass).

Parameters:
parentClass A string representing the parent class.
Returns:
Either IlTrue or IlFalse, depending on whether or not this object's class inherits parentClass attributes. The parentClass parameter should be a string representing the class name of an IlvGraphic subclass. A call to this member function for a given class instance returns IlTrue if given the name of its class.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

static IlvGraphic* IlvArrowLine::read ( IlvInputFile file,
IlvPalette palette 
) [static]

Reads an object description from a file.

Reads an object description from the file input, given the palette graphic attributes. It reads the information that was saved by the member function write to be able to create a new instance of this object. Usually, because of the availability of the constructor that expects an IlvInputFile, read should be equivalent to:

 IlvGraphic*
 MyClass::read(IlvInputFile& file, IlvPalette* palette)
 {
     return new MyClass(file, palette);
 }

In the following example, the static member function read of the IlvLabel class could have the following form:

 IlvGraphic*
 IlvLabel::read(IlvInputFile& file, IlvPalette* pal)
 {
     IlvPoint pos;
     file.getStream() >> pos;     // Read the position field
     return new IlvLabel(pal->getDisplay(), pos,
     IlvReadString(file.getStream()), pal);
 }
Parameters:
file The name of the file to be read from.
palette The name of the palette for the object.
See also:
DeclareTypeInfoRO, DeclareTypeInfo, IlvPredefinedIOMembers.
Warning:
[note] The read method is not capitalized like other static methods so that it is consistent with the write method.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

static IlBoolean IlvArrowLine::RemoveProperty ( const IlSymbol key  )  [static]

Removes a property from this object's class.

This static function removes the indicated property to the class of this object.

Parameters:
key The key property to be removed.
Returns:
IlTrue if the key property was actually found, or IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

static IlBoolean IlvArrowLine::ReplaceProperty ( const IlSymbol key,
IlAny  value 
) [static]

Replaces a property in this object's class.

This static function replaces the indicated property value to the class of this object.

Parameters:
key The key to be replaced.
value The value to be replaced.
Returns:
IlTrue if the key property was actually found, or IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented from IlvLine.

void IlvArrowLine::setArrowPosition ( IlFloat  atPos  ) 

Sets the arrow position.

Parameters:
atPos The new position of the arrow relative to a line. This must be in the range [0., 1.], where 0. indicates that the arrow is located at the line starting point location, and 1. indicates that the arrow is located at the line ending point.
virtual void IlvArrowLine::write ( IlvOutputFile output  )  const [virtual]

Writes an object description to a file.

Writes out, in a file, the object description. This description contains all the information necessary to create an exact copy of this object by means of the member function read. Information concerning any IlvPalette object attached to this object is written out by the object containers. All other information, such as the position and size of the object, is written out by this virtual member function.
For example, suppose we have an IlvLabel class that implements a graphic object drawn as a text string at a given position. It maintains its position in an internal IlvPoint field called _position and its textual content in an internal character array field called _text. The only information we need to save is the contents of those fields. So, the member function write of such an object should have the following form:

 void
 IlvLabel::write(IlvOutputFile& file) const
 {
     // Save the position field
     file.getStream() << IlvSpc() << _position;
     // Save the text field
     IlvWriteString(file.getStream(), _text);
 }
Parameters:
output The the output file to be written to.
