Detailed Description

Geometric class.

Library: xviews or winviews or mviews (mutually exclusive)

The IlvRect class handle rectangular geometric entities which are always specified by four numbers: the x and y coordinates of the top-left corner (also called the origin of the rectangle), the width and the height.

See also
IlvFloatRect, IlvPoint.

Accessors\nAccessors provide a scriptable and uniform way to inspect and modify an object by using its base class methods <tt>IlvValueInterface::queryValue()</tt>, <tt>IlvValueInterface::queryValues()</tt>, <tt>IlvValueInterface::changeValue()</tt>, <tt>IlvValueInterface::changeValues()</tt>.\n\nThis class defines the following accessors:

Data accessors

Name Type Equivalent methods
x Int getX(), setX(IlvPos)
y Int getY(), setY(IlvPos)
w UInt getW(), setW(IlvDim)
h UInt getH(), setH(IlvDim)
right Int right()
bottom Int bottom()

Method accessors

Name Return type Equivalent methods
IlvRect(Int x, Int y, UInt w, UInt h) IlvRect See [Constructor note] below.

[Constructor note]: using this accessor allows to create an instance of IlvRect from a script. For example :

myrect = new IlvRect(100, 200, 60, 40);

This is equivalent to the following C++ code :

new IlvRect(100, 200, 60, 40);

Member Function Documentation

◆ add() [1/2]

IlvRect& IlvRect::add ( const IlvPoint point)

Adds a point.

The following diagram illustrates how this first method add() operates:


- The method IlvRect::add(const IlvPoint&) -

The method add():

  • Stretches the rectangle this so that it is just big enough to include the point at (p, q) referred to as point. In the special case in which point lies inside the rectangle this, the rectangle is not modified.
  • Assigns (if stretching took place) the stretched rectangle to this.

As a result of the execution of the member function add(), the object this is modified. In the above diagram, the modified object this is still located at the point (x, y), but is changed in size. This would not be the case if the provided point was located to the left or above the rectangle top-left corner.

Parameters
pointThe point to be added.
Returns
The modified object this.

◆ add() [2/2]

IlvRect& IlvRect::add ( const IlvRect rect)

Adds a rectangle.

The following diagram illustrates the way in which this second method add() operates:


- The IlvRect::add(const IlvRect&) method -

The method add():

  • Calculates the rectangular union of the rectangle this with another given rectangle, referred to as other.
  • Assigns this union to the rectangle this. As a result of the execution of the method add(), the object this is modified. Note that in the above diagram, the modified object this is still located at the point (x, y), but it has changed in size. That would not be the case if the provided rectangle was located to the left or above the original rectangle top-left corner.
  • Returns the modified object this.
Parameters
rectThe rectangle to add.
Returns
The modified object this.

◆ bottom()

IlvPos IlvRect::bottom ( ) const

Retrieves to location of the center.

Returns
The coordinates of the center of this rectangle.

◆ centerx()

IlvPos IlvRect::centerx ( ) const

Retrieves the x coordinate of the center.

This member function is equivalent to getX()+(getW()/2).

Returns
The x coordinate of the center of this rectangle.

◆ centery()

IlvPos IlvRect::centery ( ) const

Retrieves the y coordinate of the center.

Returns
The y coordinate of the center of this rectangle.

◆ contains() [1/2]

IlBoolean IlvRect::contains ( const IlvPoint p) const

Returns
an IlBoolean value indicating whether or not the current rectangle contains a certain point.

◆ contains() [2/2]

IlBoolean IlvRect::contains ( const IlvRect rect) const

Checks if a rectangle is located in this rectangle.

Returns
an IlBoolean value indicating whether or not the current rectangle contains the rectangle passed as the rect parameter.

◆ expand() [1/2]

void IlvRect::expand ( IlvPos  delta)

Uniformly expands the rectangle.

This member function is equivalent to:

translate(-delta, -delta);
grow(2*delta, 2*delta);

If delta is negative, and 2*|delta| is bigger than of one of the rectangle's current dimensions, this dimension (width or height) is set to 0.

Parameters
deltaThe growth to be applied to the rectangle, in all directions.

◆ expand() [2/2]

void IlvRect::expand ( IlvPos  dx,
IlvPos  dy 
)

Expands the rectangle.

This member function is equivalent to:

translate(-dx, -dy);
grow(2*dx, 2*dy);

If dx is negative, and |dx| is bigger than the current width, the new width is set to 0. If dy is negative, and |dy| is bigger than the current height, the new height is set to 0.

Parameters
dxThe horizontal growth to be applied to the rectangle.
dyThe vertical growth to be applied to the rectangle.

◆ extends()

IlBoolean IlvRect::extends ( const IlvRect rect) const

Checks if a given rectangle is a direct extension of this rectangle.

Returns
an IlBoolean value indicating whether or not the current rectangle is a direct extension of the given rectangle

Returns
The x coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle.

◆ getY()

IlvPos IlvRect::getY ( ) const

Returns
The y coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle.

◆ grow()

void IlvRect::grow ( IlvPos  dw,
IlvPos  dh 
)

Resizes the rectangle.

Changes the dimensions of this object by means of a variation of the current width and height. The new width is the sum of the old width and dw. Sets the new width of the rectangle to 0 if -dw is larger than the current width. The new height is the sum of the old height and dh.Sets the new height of the rectangle to 0 if -dh is larger than the current height.

◆ inside()

IlBoolean IlvRect::inside ( const IlvRect rect) const

Checks if a rectangle is located in this rectangle.

This is similar to contains(const IlvRect&).

Returns
an IlBoolean value indicating whether or not the current rectangle is inside or contained in the rectangle rect.

◆ intersection()

IlvRect& IlvRect::intersection ( const IlvRect other)

Computes an intersection.

The diagram below illustrates how the intersection() method operates:


- The IlvRect::intersection() method -

The intersection method:

  • Calculates the rectangular intersection of the rectangle this with another given rectangle, designated by the parameter other.
  • Assigns this intersection to the rectangle this.

As a result of the execution of the method intersection, the object this is modified. In the above diagram, the modified object this has changed in both position and size. It is now located at the same point as the rectangle other: that is at (x, y).

  • Returns the modified object this.

If the rectangles this and other do not intersect, then this is given 0 width and height, indicating an invalid rectangle. In this case, both the x and the y coordinates of the rectangle this are left unchanged.
