Member Function Documentation

AllocNodeMaster()

GvNodeMaster* AllocNodeMaster	(	BaseList2D *	object,
		Bool	add_to_list = true,
		Bool	send_messages = true
	)

Allocates a node master. Must be freed with FreeNodeMaster().

Note

This function is normally not needed. Use XPressoTag::Alloc() instead.

Parameters

[in]	object	The parent object for the node master. The caller owns the pointed object.
[in]	add_to_list	Add this master to the global list of masters. To have a private master, set this to false.
[in]	send_messages	If true messages are sent to object for example when nodes are added.

Returns

The allocated node master. The caller owns the pointed node master.

FreeNodeMaster()

void FreeNodeMaster

(

GvNodeMaster *&

master

)

Frees node masters allocated with AllocNodeMaster().

Parameters

[in,out]

master

The node master to destruct. If the pointer is nullptr nothing happens. The pointer is assigned nullptr afterwards.

AllocNodeGUI()

GvNodeGUI* AllocNodeGUI	(	GvShape *	shape,
		GvShape *	group,
		Int32	user_area_id
	)

Allocates a node GUI. Must be freed with FreeNodeGUI().

Note

This function is normally not needed.

Parameters

[in]	shape	The GV shape. The caller owns the pointed shape.
[in]	group	The group shape. The caller owns the pointed group shape.
[in]	user_area_id	The user area ID.

Returns

The allocated node GUI. The caller owns the pointed node GUI.

FreeNodeGUI()

void FreeNodeGUI

(

GvNodeGUI *&

gui

)

Frees node GUIs allocated with AllocNodeGUI().

Parameters

[in,out]

gui

The node GUI to destruct. If the pointer is nullptr nothing happens. The pointer is assigned nullptr afterwards.

AllocShape()

GvShape* AllocShape

(

void

)

Allocates a shape. Must be freed with FreeShape().

Note

A shape defines the layout of the nodes and the click behavior. It is completely private, but maybe in future versions it will be possible to use different shapes.

Returns

The allocated shape. The caller owns the pointed shape.

AllocGroupShape()

GvShape* AllocGroupShape

(

void

)

Allocates a group shape. Must be freed with FreeShape().

Note

A shape defines the layout of the nodes and the click behavior. It is completely private, but maybe in future versions it will be possible to use different shapes.

Returns

The allocated group shape. The caller owns the pointed group shape.

FreeShape()

void FreeShape

(

GvShape *&

shape

)

Frees shapes allocated with AllocShape() or AllocGroupShape().

Parameters

[in,out]

shape

The shape to destruct. If the pointer is nullptr nothing happens. The pointer is assigned nullptr afterwards.
