Detailed Description

Manager class.

Library: ilvmgr

Most editors provide a snapping grid that forces mouse events to occur at specified locations. The coordinates where the user can move the pointing device are located on what are called grid points. If the manager is configured to allow standard mouse events, all event locations can be automatically modified so they occur only at specific locations. Thus, the effect of filtering user events by a manager grid is to modify their locations to the closest grid point. The IlvManagerGrid class handles the modification of event locations; that is, the conversion of the coordinates of an event that occurs in a view to a valid grid point. In Rogue Wave Views, you can set or remove a snapping grid in each of the views that is handled by a manager. You can configure these grids to make them:

visible or invisible,
active or inactive.

The grid can also be any shape, by subtyping the class. The default, implemented by the IlvManagerGrid class, is a rectangular grid, where you can set the origin and the horizontal and vertical spacing values.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

§ IlvManagerGrid()

IlvManagerGrid::IlvManagerGrid	(	IlvPalette *	palette,
		const IlvPoint &	origin,
		IlvDim	spacingx,
		IlvDim	spacingy,
		IlBoolean	visible = `IlTrue`,
		IlBoolean	active = `IlTrue`,
		IlvDim	shownx = `1`,
		IlvDim	showny = `1`
	)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of the IlvManagerGrid class. The color of the grid is foreground color of the palette parameter.

Parameters

palette	The palette used to draw the grid dots
origin	The coordinates of a grid point used as reference to compute the other points of the grid (usually `(0, 0)` when the grid exactly fits the object coordinate system).
spacingx	The spacing of grid along the horizontal axis.
spacingy	The spacing of grid along the vertical axis.
visible	Specifies whether grid is visible when created (`IlTrue`) or invisible (`IlFalse`).
active	Specifies whether the grid is active when created (`IlTrue`) or inactive (`IlFalse`).
shownx	(see following parameter)
showny	The nature of a subset of the grid to be displayed. One out of every shownx and showny dots is displayed in the given direction. The event location snapping, however, takes place on each of the grid points.

Member Function Documentation

§ draw()

virtual void IlvManagerGrid::draw	(	IlvPort *	dst,
		const IlvTransformer *	t,
		const IlvRegion &	clip
	)

virtual

Draws the grid.

Displays the grid in the destination port (which is the associated view), applying the specified transformer. The drawing always takes place in a clipping region. The palette to be used for this drawing operation is obtained by the _palette member variable of this class.

Parameters

dst	The destination port.
t	The transformer (may be null).
clip	The clipping region.

§ getOrigin()

void IlvManagerGrid::getOrigin ( IlvPoint & origin ) const

Returns the grid origin.

Parameters

origin Used to return the origin coordinates of the grid.

§ getShown()

void IlvManagerGrid::getShown	(	IlvDim &	sx,
		IlvDim &	sy
	)		const

Returns the grid frequency parameters.

Returns in sx and sy, the parameters that define how often the grid points are displayed. For example, a value of 1 means every dot, a value of 2 means one out of every two dots is displayed, and so on.

Parameters

sx	Used to return the horizontal frequency.
sy	Used to return the vertical frequency.

§ getSpacings()

void IlvManagerGrid::getSpacings	(	IlvDim &	sx,
		IlvDim &	sy
	)		const

Returns the horizontal and vertical spacing.

Parameters

sx	Used to return the horizontal spacing value of the grid.
sy	Used to return the vertical spacing value of the grid.

§ isActive()

IlBoolean IlvManagerGrid::isActive ( ) const

Returns whether the grid is active.

Returns: IlTrue if the grid is active, that is, if the snap mechanism is activated. It returns IlFalse if the grid is inactive and leaves the position parameter of the member function snap untouched.

§ isVisible()

IlBoolean IlvManagerGrid::isVisible ( ) const

Returns the grid visibility.

Returns: IlTrue if the grid is visible. Otherwise, it returns IlFalse.

§ setActive()

void IlvManagerGrid::setActive ( IlBoolean active )

Enables or disables the grid.

Sets the activity state of the grid.

Parameters

active Specifies whether or not the grid must be active.

§ setForeground()

void IlvManagerGrid::setForeground ( IlvColor * foreground )

Sets the foreground color of the grid.

Parameters

foreground Specifies the foreground color to use.

§ setOrigin()

void IlvManagerGrid::setOrigin ( const IlvPoint & origin )

Sets the origin of the grid.

Parameters

origin The new origin of the grid.

§ setShown()

void IlvManagerGrid::setShown	(	IlvDim	sx,
		IlvDim	sy
	)

Sets the grid frequency parameters.

Sets the display frequency of the dots.

Parameters

sx	The horizontal frequency.
sy	The vertical frequency.

§ setSpacings()

void IlvManagerGrid::setSpacings	(	IlvDim	sx,
		IlvDim	sy
	)

Sets the horizontal and vertical spacing dimensions.

Parameters

sx	Specifies the horizontal spacing.
sy	Specifies the vertical spacing.

§ setVisible()

void IlvManagerGrid::setVisible ( IlBoolean v )

Sets the grid visibility.

Sets the visibility attribute of the grid and refreshes the associated view to get an immediate effect.

Parameters

v	Specifies whether the grid is visible.

§ snap()

virtual void IlvManagerGrid::snap ( IlvPoint & p )

virtual

Moves a point to the closest point on the grid.

Called internally by the member function IlvManager::snapToGrid to move the event location p to a valid position, that is, generally, on a grid point. The default implementation of this function moves p to the closest point of the rectangular grid. It can be overloaded to implement a new kind of snapping.

Parameters

p	Used both to specify the initial point to move and to hold the return value.
