Detailed Description

template<class T>
class XSI::CDataArray2D< T >

This template class encapsulates 2D data arrays that are passed to custom node plug-ins during a graph evaluation. The underlying data arrays are zero-based, the following types are available:

As for CDataArray, instances of CDataArray2D are created based on the current evaluation context and a specific port type (input ports only). CDataArray2D objects are also indexed with CIndexSet objects. Unlike CDataArray, CDataArray2D contains sub-arrays where data can be accessed through the CDataArray2D::Accessor class.

Note:: If the class type doesn't match the port data type being evaluated, an error occurs at run-time and a class instance is created with an empty array.

Since:: 7.0

Example:

        using namespace XSI;

        XSIPLUGINCALLBACK CStatus Custom2DArray_Evaluate( ICENodeContext& in_ctxt )
        {
            // The current output port being evaluated...
            ULONG out_portID = in_ctxt.GetEvaluatedOutputPortID( );

            switch( out_portID )
            {
                case ID_OutPort:
                {
                    // Here's how we access the input data buffers for each port
                    CDataArray2DVector3f InPortData( in_ctxt, ID_InPort );

                    // Declare the output port array ...
                    CDataArray2DVector3f outData( in_ctxt );

                    // We need a CIndexSet to iterate over the data
                    CIndexSet indexSet( in_ctxt );

                    for(CIndexSet::Iterator it = indexSet.Begin(); it.HasNext(); it.Next())
                    {
                        // Creates an Accessor object to iterate over the 2D array data
                        CDataArray2DVector3f::Accessor floatArray = InPortData[it];

                        // Output arrays must always be initialized first
                        CDataArray2DVector3f::Accessor outAccessor = outData.Resize( it, floatArray.GetCount( ) );

                        for (ULONG i=0; i<floatArray.GetCount( ); i++)
                        {
                            outAccessor[i].Scale( floatArray[i].GetX(), floatArray[i] );
                        }
                    }
                }
                break;
            };

            return CStatus::OK;
        }

T TData

TData is the underlying data type of a CDataArray2D instance. Possible values are:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SICPPSDK_INLINE CDataArray2D	(	ICENodeContext &	in_ctxt,
		ULONG	in_nInputPortID,
		ULONG	in_nInstanceIndex = `0`
	)

Constructor for data types bound to input ports.

Parameters:

in_ctxt	ICENode evaluation context.
in_nInputPortID	Input port identifier.
in_nInstanceIndex	The group instance of the port.

SICPPSDK_INLINE CDataArray2D ( ICENodeContext & in_ctxt )

Constructor for data types bound to output ports.

Parameters:

in_ctxt ICENode evaluation context.

SICPPSDK_INLINE CDataArray2D ( )

Default constructor.

SICPPSDK_INLINE ~CDataArray2D ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

SICPPSDK_INLINE CStatus CopyFrom	(	ULONG	in_nInputPortID,
		ULONG	in_nInstanceIndex = `0`
	)

Copy the data from a given input port to this object buffer without allocating memory. This is typically used for passing data by reference from input to output ports, similar to what the built-in 'pass through' node is doing.

Parameters:

in_nInputPortID	Input port identifier.
in_nInstanceIndex	The group instance of the port.

Returns:: CStatus::OK Success; CStatus::InvalidArgument Fails if in_nInputPortID is not an input port identifier or in_nInstanceIndex is invalid.; CStatus::AccessDenied This array is not an output type or wasn't created properly.

Example:

        // Copy data from the ID_IN_2DPoints port to the current output port
        XSI::CDataArray2DVector3f outData( in_ctxt );
        outData.CopyFrom( ID_IN_2DPoints );

SICPPSDK_INLINE CDataArray2D< T >::Accessor operator[] ( ULONG in_nArrayIndex ) const

Returns an accessor at a given index. This operator is called when reading the data so the return value is read-only.

Parameters:

in_nArrayIndex Index in the array. The index must be smaller than the number of elements in the array, otherwise the results are unpredicted.

Returns:: Accessor object.

SICPPSDK_INLINE CDataArray2D< T >::Accessor Resize	(	ULONG	in_nArrayIndex,
		ULONG	in_nSize
	)

Changes the size of the sub-array at a given position and returns an accessor pointing to the resized sub-array.

Parameters:

in_nArrayIndex	Index in the array. The index must be smaller than the number of elements in the array, otherwise the results are unpredicted.
in_nSize	The new size.

Returns:: Accessor object.

SICPPSDK_INLINE ULONG GetCount ( void ) const

Returns the number of elements in the array.

Returns:: Number of elements.

SICPPSDK_INLINE bool IsConstant ( ) const

Returns true if the array is constant or false otherwise. A constant array has only one value.

Returns:: True if constant, false otherwise.
