◆ PShow_Net_User_Options()
HC_BOOLEAN PShow_Net_User_Options | ( | int | key_count, |
const HC_KEY * | path_keys, | ||
char * | list | ||
) |
Similar to Show_User_Options(), but returns the net effective settings along a discrete segment path.
- Parameters
-
key_count - The size of pathkeys path_keys - An array of HC_KEY's delineating a path of segments. list - A list of name = value pairs. Passed by reference. Returned to user.
DETAILS
As with all PShow_Net_* routines, pathkeys[0] represents the lowest (a.k.a the "most local" or "leaf"), and pathkeys[keycount-1] represents the highest segment. If the path is incomplete, missing segments are filled in if possible. Missing segments must be part of the same direct ancestry in order to be filled in. If the desired path contains an include link, the shortest unambiguous set of pathkeys would be [leaf, includelink, root], where includelink is the return value from Include_Segment().
By default, HOOPS will determine the Net attribute from the last specified key all the way to the root. If you add -1 at the end of the array, the PShow_Net routines will not proceed beyond the end of the last specified key.
For other details, see Show_User_Options().
◆ PShow_One_Net_User_Option()
HC_BOOLEAN PShow_One_Net_User_Option | ( | int | count, |
const HC_KEY * | keys, | ||
const char * | type, | ||
char * | value | ||
) |
Similar to Show_One_User_Option() but returns the net settings along a discrete path.
- Parameters
-
count - The size of keys keys - An array of HC_KEY's delineating a path of segments. type - The type in type = value. value - The value of type. Passed by reference. Returned to user.
DETAILS
By default, HOOPS will determine the Net attribute from the last specified key all the way to the root. If you add -1 at the end of the array, the PShow_Net routines will not proceed beyond the end of the last specified key. For additional details, see Set_User_Options().
◆ Show_One_User_Option()
void Show_One_User_Option | ( | const char * | type, |
char * | value | ||
) |
Similar to Show_User_Options() but returns a single setting, rather than the entire set.
- Parameters
-
type - The type in type = value. value - The value of type. Passed by reference. Returned to user.
DETAILS
No additional details. See Set_User_Options().
◆ Show_User_Options()
void Show_User_Options | ( | char * | list | ) |
Returns the user options that have been set on the currently open segment.
- Parameters
-
list - A list of name = value pairs. Passed by reference. Returned to user.
DETAILS
No additional details. See Set_User_Options().
NOTES
The Show_User_Options() routines return the actual attribute values stored in the particular segment at hand. The Show_Net_User_Options() routines return the effective attribute value for the specified segment. The distinction is that there may or may not be an "actual" stored value for an attribute for a given segment, but there is guaranteed always to be an effective value for every attribute for every segment. Also, "Show Net" will return the cumulative effects of those attributes that concatenate as you go up and down the segment tree (Modelling Matrices and Windows).
When the value being passed back is a string, be sure you've declared your string variable to be long enough.
In C, "passed by reference" means that you have to allocate an appropriate variable, either statically or off the stack, and pass a pointer to that variable to the HOOPS routine. To generate a pointer to a variable C, you prefix the variable with a "&". In other languages you normally don't have to do anything different from usual.
The Show_User_Options() routines will complain if they're called and the attribute is not actually set in the segment. Use Show_Existence() to avoid this, if necessary.
Show_User_Options() may be used to return user data that has been associated with a piece of geometry. This must be done during a block using Open_Geometry().
