Detailed Description

An array class for trim boundaries.

This class implements an array of MObjectArray objects. Each MObjectArray is a collection of curves (edges, in fact) that represent a trim boundary.

This class owns all of the MObjectArrays in the class. It doesn't hold a reference to any other MObjectArray.

MStatus reserve

(

unsigned int

reserveLength

)

Search for all occurrences

This method is used to reserve the capacity of the array.

Parameters:

[in]

reserveLength

the number of items to reserve

Returns:

MS::kSuccess if the reserve worked and MS::kFailure otherwise

unsigned int size

(

)

const

This method returns the size of the trim boundary array.

The size and the length are the same.

const MObjectArray & operator[]

(

unsigned int

index

)

const

The index operator.

NOTE: no bounds are checked by this method.

Parameters:

[in]

index

value indicating which array to return

Returns:

The MObjectArray requested

const MObjectArray & get

(

unsigned int

index

)

const

Search for all occurrences

The method returns the MObjectArray specified by the index.

NOTE: no bounds are checked by this method.

Parameters:

[in]

index

value indicating which array to return

Returns:

The MObjectArray requested

MStatus set	(	const MObjectArray &	boundary,
		unsigned int	index
	)

Search for all occurrences

This method is used to replace an existing boundary array.

Parameters:

[in]	boundary	the boundary object array to set
[in]	index	the index to place the boundary array at

Returns:

MS::kSuccess if the set worked and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus insert	(	const MObjectArray &	boundary,
		unsigned int	index
	)

Search for all occurrences

This method adds a new boundary into the "index" position.

Parameters:

[in]	boundary	the object array to add
[in]	index	the index to add the boundary array at

Returns:

• MS::kSuccess if the insert worked and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus append

(

const MObjectArray &

boundary

)

Search for all occurrences

Add a new boundary array at the end of the list.

Parameters:

[in]

boundary

the boundary array to append

Returns:

• MS::kSuccess if the append worked and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus remove

(

unsigned int

index

)

Search for all occurrences

This method removes an existing boundary from the list.

Parameters:

[in]

index

the index of the array to remove

Returns:

• MS::kSuccess if the remove worked and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus clear

(

)

Search for all occurrences

This method clears the trim boundary array.

Returns:

• MS::kSuccess if the clear worked and MS::kFailure otherwise

MObject getMergedBoundary	(	unsigned int	index,
		MStatus *	status = NULL
	)		const

Search for all occurrences

This function create a curve that represent all curves of the boundary.

The original boundary edges are not changed. Note that the resulting curve is not added to the current model but is owned by an MObject which is of type kNurbsCurveData.

Parameters:

[in]	index	the index to the boundary array that should be used to create the curve
[out]	status	return status of the method

Returns:

• MS::kSuccess if the curve creation worked and MS::kFailure otherwise
