This example demonstrates displaying and modifying the properties of the Xline object. This example uses a console menu that represents the following operations: getting and setting the base point [B]; getting and setting the direction vector [D]; computing the features at a parameter [Z]; displaying the object properties, general properties, computed properties, and specific properties [P]; and modifying the general entity properties [M].
The PrintXlineProperties() function requires a pointer to an existing Xline object and displays its specific properties. The function gets the specific properties using the basePoint() and unitDir() methods. The function uses the AboutPoint3d() function for converting the coordinates of the base point to a string value and the AboutVector3d() function for converting the coordinates of the direction vector to a string value. The AboutPoint3d() and AboutVector3d() functions require an instance of the three-dimensional point or three-dimensional vector to be converted as an argument and return a string containing the X,Y,Z coordinates.
The PrintXlineProperties() function has the following implementation:
void PrintXlineProperties(OdDbXline* pXLine)
{
wcout << L"\n Direction = " << AboutVector3d(pXLine->unitDir())
<< L"\n Base point = " << AboutPoint3d(pXLine->basePoint());
}
The PrintXlineFeatures() function requires a pointer to an existing Xline object and displays the properties computed at a parameter (features). The function uses the getPointAtParam(), getFirstDeriv(), getSecondDeriv(), and getPlane() methods, and also uses the AboutPoint3d() and AboutVector3d() functions. The parameter is the distance measured from the base point. The infinite line does not have a length and area. The first and second derivatives are vectors which are computed at the parameter and are constant for any point on the infinite line. The infinite line is an entity that has an arbitrary plane passed through it. The function gets and displays the coefficients of the arbitrary plane using the AboutPlane() function.
The PrintXlineFeatures() function has the following implementation:
void PrintXlineFeatures(OdDbXline* pXLine)
{
OdGePlane plane;
OdGeVector3d vector;
OdDb::Planarity planarity;
pXLine->getFirstDeriv(0, vector);
wcout << L"\n First derivative = " << AboutVector3d(vector);
pXLine->getSecondDeriv(0, vector);
wcout << L"\n Second derivative = " << AboutVector3d(vector);
if(pXLine->getPlane(plane, planarity) == eOk)
wcout << L"\n " << ((planarity == OdDb::kPlanar) ? L"Entity" :
(planarity == OdDb::kLinear) ? L"Arbitrary" : L"Non")
<< L" Plane = " << AboutPlane(plane);
}
The ModifyXlineProperties() function requires a pointer to an existing Xline object and implements the console menu for the listed operations. The function organizes a loop that inquires about the operation code and uses the switch statement to select whether the case must be performed. The function processes user actions in the loop until the user selects the [Q] operation. The function uses the EntryPoint3d() function for entering coordinates for a three-dimensional point and the EntryVector3d() function for entering coordinates of a three-dimensional vector. The EntryPoint3d() and EntryVector3d() functions require a reference to an instance of the three-dimensional point or three-dimensional vector to be modified as an argument and return True when the passed instance is modified successfully or False when the user cancels entry.
When the user selects [P], the function displays the common object properties using the PrintObjectProperties() function, general entity properties using the PrintEntityProperties() function, computed infinite line properties using the PrintXlineFeatures() function, and specific infinite line properties using the PrintXlineProperties() function. When the user selects the [p] operation, the function displays only specific infinite line properties.
When the user selects [B], the function gets the base point using the basePoint() method, calls the EntryPoint3d() function for entry of its coordinates, and sets the returned point as the new base point using the setBasePoint() method if entry is successful.
When the user selects [D], the function gets the direction vector using the unitDir() method, calls the EntryVector3d() function for entry of its coordinates, and sets the returned vector as a new direction using the setUnitDir() method if entry is successful.
When the user selects [Z], the function requests a parameter as a double value. If the entered value is correct, the function computes the coordinates of the point on the infinite line corresponding to the specified parameter using the getPointAtParam() method, computes the distance from the start point to the computed point using the getDistAtParam() method, and computers the first and second derivatives in the computed point using the getFirstDeriv() and getSecondDeriv() methods.
When the user selects [M], the function calls the ModifyEntityProperties() function and passes to it the pointer to the Xline object for modifying its general entity properties. After modification, the function displays all infinite line properties using the [P] operation.
When the user selects [Q], the function ends the loop and returns in the calling function.
