Detailed Description

Generic class to specify any graphic object as a grapher link.

Library: ilvgrapher

An IlvLinkHandle object is used to reference an IlvGraphic object as a link. The object will be drawn as a link using:

Its own palette or the IlvLinkHandle palette.
A transformer computed so that the link is oriented and resized to join the two nodes.

The IlvLinkHandle object is called the handle object. The other object is called the referenced object. Several IlvLinkHandle objects may reference the same IlvGraphic object. An IlvLinkHandle instance may be the owner of the referenced object. In this case, deleting the handle also deletes the referenced object. In the other case, the referenced object is left intact.

See also: IlvGrapher, IlvGrapher::makeLink().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IlvLinkHandle()

IlvLinkHandle::IlvLinkHandle	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		IlvGraphic *	object,
		IlvGraphic *	from,
		IlvGraphic *	to,
		IlvDim	width = `0`,
		IlBoolean	owner = `IlTrue`,
		IlvPalette *	palette = `0`
	)

Constructor.

The constructor initializes an instance of the IlvLinkHandle class. This instantiation references the object object so that it behaves like a link between node from and node to.

Setting width to a value other than 0 forces the width of the link, whereas a null value allows the link to compute its width according to the width of the faces of the nodes to which it is attached.

Set owner to IlTrue to make the handle object the owner of the referenced object.

The palette palette will be the one used to draw the referenced object if IlvLinkHandle::isLinkPaletteUsed() returns IlTrue.

Parameters

display	The display connection that will handle the drawing of the object.
object	The graphic object used to represent the link.
from	The `IlvGraphic` object representing the start node of the link.
to	The `IlvGraphic` object representing the end node of the link.
width	The width of the link (0 if the width must be automatically computed).
owner	A Boolean value indicating whether the handle owns its referenced object.
palette	The palette used to draw the link.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getObject()

IlvGraphic* IlvLinkHandle::getObject ( ) const

Returns the referenced object.

Returns: The referenced object.

◆ getWidth()

IlvDim IlvLinkHandle::getWidth ( ) const

Returns the width of the link.

A null width means that it is computed dynamically according to the width of the faces of the nodes this link is attached to.

Returns: The width of the link.

◆ isOwner()

IlBoolean IlvLinkHandle::isOwner ( ) const

Indicates whether the handle owns its referenced object.

Returns: IlTrue if the handle owns the referenced object, and IlFalse otherwise.

◆ isUsingLinkPalette()

IlBoolean IlvLinkHandle::isUsingLinkPalette ( ) const

Indicates whether the referenced object is drawn with the palette of the link.

Indicates which palette is used to draw the referenced object. It can be one of the following:

The palette of the link, in which case the referenced object is drawn using the method IlvSimpleGraphic::drawPalette()
The palette of the referenced object itself, in which case it is drawn using the method IlvGraphic::draw()

Returns: IlTrue if the referenced object is drawn with the palette of the link and IlFalse if it is drawn with its own palette.

See also: useLinkPalette().

◆ setObject()

void IlvLinkHandle::setObject ( IlvGraphic * object )

Changes the referenced object.

Note: You can share a referenced object as long as it is not owned by any of its handles.

Parameters

object The new referenced object.

◆ setOwner()

void IlvLinkHandle::setOwner ( IlBoolean owner )

Changes the ownership of the handle.

If owner is set to IlTrue, then the handle owns its referenced object and will delete it when it is itself destroyed.

Parameters

owner A Boolean value indicating whether the handle owns its referenced object.

◆ setWidth()

void IlvLinkHandle::setWidth ( IlvDim width )

Sets the width of the link.

Sets the value of the width of the link to width. If it is null, then the width is dynamically computed according to the width of the faces of the nodes this link is attached to.

Parameters

width The current width.

◆ useLinkPalette()

void IlvLinkHandle::useLinkPalette ( IlBoolean use )

Changes the drawing mode of the referenced object.

Parameters

use	A Boolean value indicating whether the referenced object should be drawn with the palette of the link (`IlTrue`), or with its own palette (`IlFalse`).

See also: isUsingLinkPalette().

◆ zoomable()

virtual IlBoolean IlvLinkHandle::zoomable ( ) const

virtual

Returns the zoomable property of the link.

A link is considered zoomable if both its start and end nodes are zoomable.

Returns: IlTrue if the link is zoomable and IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented from IlvLinkImage.
