DirectShapeLibrary Members


The DirectShapeLibrary type exposes the following members.

Methods

Name Description
Public method AddDefinition(String, GeometryObject)
Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a single geometry object.
Public method AddDefinition(String, IList GeometryObject )
Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a collection of geometry objects.
Public method AddDefinitionType
Add a definition to be reused by instances. Adding a definition type will change how the instances are created. When asked to create a definition, the library object will look for a corresponding type object. If one is found, it will create an instance of geometry stored in the type object. If it is not found, the library will look for a list of geometry objects stored as definition, and will copy and transform these to create an instance.
Public method Contains
A quick check whether a definition already exists in the library. Checks for stored geometry objects only.
Public method ContainsType
A quick check whether a definition type already exists in the library. Checks for type objects only.
Public method Dispose
Releases all resources used by the DirectShapeLibrary
Public method Equals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object .
(Inherited from Object .)
Public method FindDefinition
Find a definition by id
Public method FindDefinitionType
Find a DirectShapeType element by definition id. The element will be used for creating instances of that definition.
Public method Static member GetDirectShapeLibrary
Get the currently active Library object
Public method GetHashCode
Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
(Inherited from Object .)
Public method GetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object .)
Public method Reset
Removes all definitions from library. This is useful when importing several self-contained data sets within one session. Once a data set is imported, keeping the definitions specific to that data set will slow down the searches.
Public method ToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object .)

Properties
