Detailed Description

Implementation of links with an arbitrary shape.

Library: ilvgrapher

An IlvPolylineLinkImage object appears as a polyline or a spline between two nodes. The shape of the link can be specified by giving an arbitrary number of points. When this number is 0, the link is drawn as a straight line between its two nodes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvPolylineLinkImage::IlvPolylineLinkImage	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		IlBoolean	oriented,
		IlUInt	count,
		IlvPoint *	points,
		IlvGraphic *	from,
		IlvGraphic *	to,
		IlvPalette *	palette = `0`
	)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of IlvPolylineLinkImage and specifies its shape by making a copy of the array points.

Parameters

display	The display connection that handles the drawing of the object.
oriented	A Boolean value indicating whether an arrowhead is to be drawn at the end of the link.
count	The number of points defining the shape of the link.
points	The points defining the shape of the link.
from	The `IlvGraphic` object representing the start node of the link.
to	The `IlvGraphic` object representing the end node of the link.
palette	The palette used to draw the link.

IlvPolylineLinkImage::IlvPolylineLinkImage	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		IlBoolean	oriented,
		IlDouble	flatness,
		IlUInt	count,
		IlvPoint *	points,
		IlvGraphic *	from,
		IlvGraphic *	to,
		IlvPalette *	palette = `0`
	)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of IlvPolylineLinkImage and specifies its shape by making a copy of the array points. The created link will be drawn as a spline using the flatness flatness.

Parameters

display	The display connection that handles the drawing of the object.
oriented	A Boolean indicating whether an arrowhead is to be drawn at the end of the link.
flatness	The flatness, in the range `[0..1]`, which is used to draw the link as a spline.
count	The number of points defining the shape of the link.
points	The points defining the shape of the link.
from	The `IlvGraphic` object representing the start node of the link.
to	The `IlvGraphic` object representing the end node of the link.
palette	The palette used to draw the link.

virtual IlvPolylineLinkImage::~IlvPolylineLinkImage ( )

virtual

Destructor.

The destructor destroys the array of points held internally by the link.

Member Function Documentation

void IlvPolylineLinkImage::addPoints	(	IlUInt	count,
		const IlvPoint *	points,
		IlUInt	where
	)

Adds intermediate points.

Inserts a copy of points in the array of the intermediate points at the position where .

Parameters

count	The number of intermediate points to insert.
points	The new intermediate points.
where	The insertion index.

virtual void IlvPolylineLinkImage::computePoints	(	IlvPoint &	src,
		IlvPoint &	dst,
		const IlvTransformer *	t = `0`
	)		const

virtual

Computes the endpoints of the link when it is drawn as a straight line.

The default implementation computes the endpoints from the bounding boxes of the starting and ending nodes:

If these rectangles do not intersect, the points are the middle of the sides of the rectangles to be joined.
If the bounding boxes intersect, the method returns the center of each box.

This method is called by the default implementation of the IlvLinkImage::getLinkPoints method.

Parameters

src	The starting point of the link.
dst	The ending point of the link.
t	The transformer applied to the link.

Reimplemented from IlvLinkImage.

void IlvPolylineLinkImage::drawSpline ( IlBoolean b )

Sets the drawing mode of the link.

If b is equal to IlTrue, the link is drawn as a spline. Otherwise, it is drawn as a polyline.

param b A Boolean value indicating whether the link is drawn as a spline.

See Also: isDrawingSpline, setFlatness.

IlDouble IlvPolylineLinkImage::getFlatness ( ) const

Returns the flatness used to draw the link as a spline.

Returns: The flatness used to draw the link as a spline.

See Also: setFlatness.

virtual IlvPoint* IlvPolylineLinkImage::getLinkPoints	(	IlUInt &	nPoints,
		const IlvTransformer *	t = `0`
	)		const

virtual

Returns the points defining the shape of the link.

Returns an array of points defining the shape of the link when it is drawn with the transformer t. The size of the resulting array of points is returned in the nPoints parameter. The array is stored in an IlPoolOf(IlvPoint) and should not be deleted or modified.
This method is internally used by the methods draw, contains, and boundingBox. It is meant to replace various methods defined in subclasses in previous releases of Rogue Wave Views; like the obsolete IlvOneLinkImage::getPoints.
This function is overloaded by subclasses defining a specific shape for links. The default implementation returns an array of two points computed with the IlvLinkImage::computePoints method.

Parameters

nPoints	The number of points in the returned array.
t	The transformer applied to the link.

Returns: The points defining the shape of the link.

Reimplemented from IlvLinkImage.

const IlvPoint* IlvPolylineLinkImage::getPoint ( IlUInt idx ) const

Returns an intermediate point.

Returns the intermediate point at index idx, or 0 if idx if not a valid index.

Parameters

idx	The index of the point (it must be in the range `[0...getPointsCount()-1]`.

Returns: The point at index idx , or 0 if idx if not a valid index.

See Also: getPointsCount.

const IlvPoint* IlvPolylineLinkImage::getPoints ( IlUInt & count ) const

Returns the points defining the shape.

Returns: The points defining the shape.

See Also: getPointsCount.

IlUInt IlvPolylineLinkImage::getPointsCount ( ) const

Returns the number of points defining the shape.

Note: The actual number of points used to draw the link (as returned by the getLinkPoints method) is equal to getPointsCount() +2.

Returns: The number of points defining the shape.

IlBoolean IlvPolylineLinkImage::isDrawingSpline ( ) const

Indicates whether the link is drawn as a spline.

Returns: IlTrue if the link is drawn as a spline and IlFalse if it is drawn as a polyline.

See Also: drawSpline, setFlatness.

void IlvPolylineLinkImage::movePoint	(	IlUInt	index,
		IlvPos	x,
		IlvPos	y
	)

Modifies an intermediate point.

Parameters

index	The index of the intermediate point to modify.
x	the new x coordinate of the point.
y	the new y coordinate of the point.

void IlvPolylineLinkImage::removePoints	(	IlUInt	start,
		IlUInt	count
	)

Removes a set of intermediate points.

Removes the number count of intermediate points starting at index start.

Parameters

start	The index of the first point to remove.
count	The number of points to remove.

void IlvPolylineLinkImage::setFlatness ( IlDouble flatness )

Sets the flatness used to draw the link as a spline.

The flatness parameter must take a value in the range [0..1]. It determines the shape of the spline from the points defining the link. A value of 1 means that the spline is drawn with straight segments, as shown in the following figure:

- A link drawn with several flatness values -

Parameters

flatness The new flatness.

void IlvPolylineLinkImage::setPoints	(	IlUInt	count,
		const IlvPoint *	points
	)

Sets the points defining the shape of the link.

Resets the intermediate points with a copy of points.

Parameters

count	The number of intermediate points.
points	The intermediate points.
