DrawingData
Represents the contents of a Drawing element.
class DrawingData
Members
The structure does not have any visible members.
Methods
- GetBounds: Returns the calculated boundaries of the Drawing.
- StartDrawing: Enters Drawing mode, redirecting Element creation to the contained handle.
- StopDrawing: Exits Drawing mode, preparing the boundaries and handle of the Drawing data.
Remarks
A DrawingData instance is uninitialized by default. The GetBounds and GetHandle methods are only usable on initialized DrawingData instances. The string representation of a DrawingData instance displays its status.
To initialize a DrawingData instance, one must enter Drawing mode, add elements to the data handle by using the Element Creation functions, and then exit it.
Example
def DrawCircle (x, y, r): element = APIObject () element.head = APIObject () element.head.typeID = API_ArcID element.whole = True element.origC = APIObject () element.origC.x = x element.origC.y = y element.r = r return CreateArc (element) def MakeDrawing (scale): element = APIObject () element.head = APIObject () element.head.typeID = API_DrawingID element.head.hasMemo = True memo = APIObject () drawingData = DrawingData () drawingData.StartDrawing (scale) with UndoScope ("Create Drawing Elements"): DrawCircle (0, 0, 1) DrawCircle (0, 0, 2) DrawCircle (0, 0, 3) DrawCircle (0, 0, 4) DrawCircle (0, 0, 5) drawingData.StopDrawing () memo.drawingData = drawingData element.bounds = drawingData.GetBounds () element.bounds.xMin -= 1 element.bounds.yMin -= 1 element.bounds.xMax += 1 element.bounds.yMax += 1 element.nameType = APIName_CustomName element.name = "Test Drawing" return CreateDrawing (element, memo) MakeDrawing (100)
