GvValue Class Reference

#include <c4d_graphview.h>

Detailed Description

Calculation interface for a port main ID. Used by the convenience functions, for example GvBuildValuesTable().

Note

Cannot be instantiated. Use GvNode::AllocCalculationHandler() to allocate it and GvNode::FreeCalculationHandler() to destroy it.

Calculate()

Bool Calculate	(	GvNode *	node,
		GvPortIO	io,
		GvRun *	r,
		GvCalc *	c,
		Int32	index = 0,
		BaseTime *	time = nullptr
	)

Calculates all ports of the value. This is the recommended method for calculating ports. After a port has been calculated you can get the value with the various functions in GvPort.

Note

This function is not equivalent to GvPort::Calculate().

Parameters

[in]	node	The node that the ports of this value belongs to. The caller owns the pointed node.
[in]	io	Currently not used.
[in]	r	The run helper. The caller owns the pointed run helper.
[in]	c	The calculation helper. The caller owns the pointed calculation helper.
[in]	index	The port index or GV_MULTIPLE_PORTS to calculate all ports: 0 <= index < NrOfPorts()
[in]	time	If not nullptr animation tracks of the node are evaluated before the calculation.

Returns

true if the value was calculated, otherwise false.

IsConnected()

Bool IsConnected

(

Int32

index

)

Checks if any port of the value is connected. This is equivalent to a || over all GetPort(index)->GvPort::IsIncomingConnected().

Parameters

[in]

index

The port index: 0 <= index < NrOfPorts()

Returns

true if the port is connected, otherwise false.

IsPort()

Bool IsPort

(

)

Checks if there are any ports in the value.

Returns

true if if NrOfPorts() > 0, otherwise false.

NrOfPorts()

Int32 NrOfPorts

(

)

The number of ports in this value.

Returns

The port count.

GetValueID()

GvValueID GetValueID

(

)

The value ID of the managed ports. For all 0 <= index < NrOfPorts() this is equal to GetPort(index)->GvPort::GetValueType GetValueType(). (Well defined since all ports are of the same type in a GvValue.)

Returns

The value ID.

GetMainID()

Int32 GetMainID

(

)

The main ID of the managed ports. For all 0 <= index < NrOfPorts() this is equal to GetPort(index)->GvPort::GetMainID GetMainID(). (Well defined since all ports are of the same type in a GvValue.)

Returns

The main ID.

GetPort()

GvPort* GetPort

(

Int32

index = 0

)

Retrieves a port by index.

Parameters

[in]

index

The port index: 0 <= index < NrOfPorts()

Returns

The retrieved port. The node owns the pointed port.
