Inheritance diagram for BaseSelect:

Detailed Description

This class is used to keep track of point and polygon selections, it may also be used to track other types of element selections.

Note
Has to be created with Alloc() and destroyed with Free(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Alloc()

static BaseSelect* Alloc ( )
static

Allocates a base selection. Destroy the allocated base selection with Free(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Returns
The allocated base selection, or nullptr if the allocation failed.

◆ Free()

static void Free ( BaseSelect *&  bs)
static

Destructs base selections allocated with Alloc(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Parameters
[in,out]bsThe base selection to destruct. If the pointer is nullptr nothing happens. The pointer is assigned nullptr afterwards.

◆ GetCount()

Int32 GetCount ( ) const

Gets the number of selected elements.

Returns
The number of selected elements.

◆ GetSegments()

Int32 GetSegments ( ) const

Gets the number of segments that contain elements.

Note
For example: with the selections 0..4, 6..7, 9..12, GetSegments() would return 3 and GetCount() would return 11.
Returns
The number of segments with selected elements.

◆ Select()

Bool Select ( Int32  num)

Selects an element.

Parameters
[in]numThe element index to select.
Returns
true if the element was already selected, otherwise false.

◆ SelectAll()

Bool SelectAll ( Int32  min,
Int32  max,
Bool  deselectAll = true 
)

Selects all elements in the given range.

Parameters
[in]minThe first element to select.
[in]maxThe last element in the range to select.
[in]deselectAllSince R17. Deselects all previously selected elements before creating the new selection (equivalent to SELECTION_NEW).
Returns
Success of selecting the elements.

◆ Deselect() [1/2]

Bool Deselect ( Int32  num)

Deselects an element.

Parameters
[in]numThe element index to deselect.
Returns
true if the element was already deselected, otherwise false.

◆ DeselectAll()

Bool DeselectAll ( )

Deselects all elements.

Returns
Success of deselecting all elements.

◆ Toggle()

Bool Toggle ( Int32  num)

Toggles the selection state of an element.

Parameters
[in]numThe element index to toggle.
Returns
Success of changing the selection state of the element.

◆ ToggleAll()

Bool ToggleAll ( Int32  min,
Int32  max 
)

Toggles the selection state of all elements in the given range.

Parameters
[in]minThe first element to toggle.
[in]maxThe last element to toggle in the range.
Returns
Success of changing the selection state.

◆ GetRange()

Bool GetRange ( Int32  seg,
Int32  maxElements,
Int32 a,
Int32 b 
) const

Gets the selected elements contained in a segment.

Parameters
[in]segThe segment to get the elements for. 0 <= seg < GetSegments()
[in]maxElementsThe maximum value for a and b. Makes sure a and b are < maxElements. Pass LIMIT<Int32>::MAX for no additional checks.
[out]aAssigned the index of the first selected element.
[out]bAssigned the index of the last selected element.
Returns
true if if the range was successfully retrieved, otherwise false. Only false if seg is not 0 <= seg < GetSegments()
The spans are always sorted (spans with higher index have higher numbers for a/b), also b is always >= a.

◆ IsSelected()

Bool IsSelected ( Int32  num) const

Checks the selection state of an element.
To efficiently go through selections use the following code:

Int32 seg = 0, a, b, i;
while (bs->GetRange(seg++, LIMIT<Int32>::MAX, &a, &b))
{
for (i=a; i<=b; ++i)
{
// Do something. 'i' is the selected element
}
}
Py_ssize_t i
Definition: abstract.h:645
Definition: apibasemath.h:34
maxon::Int32 Int32
Definition: ge_sys_math.h:56

This is faster than:

for (i=0; i<maxelements; i++)
{
if (bs->IsSelected(i))
{
// Do something
}
}
Parameters
[in]numThe element index to get the state for.
Returns
true if the element num is selected, otherwise false.

◆ CopyTo()

Bool CopyTo ( BaseSelect dest,
Bool  alwaysDirty = true 
) const

Copies the selection elements to another BaseSelect.

Parameters
[out]destThe destination selection. The caller owns the pointed selection. @paran[in] alwaysDirty If true, the destination BaseSelect is always made dirty. Otherwise it is only made dirty when it is different than the source.
Returns
true if selection elements were copied successfully, otherwise false.

◆ GetClone()

BaseSelect* GetClone ( ) const

Makes a duplicate of the selection with its elements.

Returns
The cloned BaseSelect or nullptr if failed. The caller owns the pointed BaseSelect.

◆ Merge()

Bool Merge ( const BaseSelect src)

Selects all elements that are in src.

Parameters
[in]srcThe source selection. The caller owns the pointed selection.
Returns
true if the selection elements were merged successfully, otherwise false.

◆ Deselect() [2/2]

Bool Deselect ( const BaseSelect src)

Deselects all elements that are in src.

Parameters
[in]srcThe source selection. The caller owns the pointed selection.
Returns
true if the selection elements were deselected successfully, otherwise false.

◆ Cross()

Bool Cross ( const BaseSelect src)

Intersects all elements in src.

Parameters
[in]srcThe source selection. The caller owns the pointed selection.
Returns
true if the selection elements were crossed successfully, otherwise false.

◆ FromArray()

Bool FromArray ( UChar selection,
Int32  count 
)

Gets a number of selected elements from an array. The elements in the array are interpreted as Bool: 0 means the element is unselected, and 1 means it is selected.

Warning
The old selection will completely be overridden.
Parameters
[in]selectionAn array of elements to select. The caller owns the pointed array.
[in]countThe number of elements in the array.

Returns
true if the segment was found, otherwise false.

◆ GetDirty()
