Composite Graphic Objects
Composite graphic object classes and subclasses provide member functions that allow you to reference instances of IlvGraphic subtyped objects. You can use these references for:
*Controlling polygon fill. See Filling Polygons: IlvGraphicPath.
*Grouping objects. See Grouping Objects: IlvGraphicSet.
*Modifying properties of one object without duplicating or modifying the object itself. See Referencing Objects: IlvGraphicHandle.
For example, in an electronic schema displaying a thousand transistors, you would consume much less memory by creating one transistor image and a thousand handle objects to reference it than by creating a thousand separate images.
