Layout

class Layout : public HPS::Sprocket

The Layout class is one of the four core display classes used in a Visualize application. It is meant to be used as part of a display hierarchy along with the Canvas, View, and Model objects. The parent of the Layout is the Canvas, and a Layout can have multiple Views. The Layout is meant to describe the way the Views are presented in the Canvas. Like the other three core objects, the Layout is backed by a HPS::SegmentKey.

Public Functions

void Assign(Layout const &in_that)
void AttachViewBack(View const &in_view, HPS::Rectangle const &in_position = HPS::Rectangle(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f))

Attached a View to this Layout, and places it to the back of the layer list

Parameters:
  • in_view – The View to be attached to this Layer.
  • in_position – A Rectangle describing the position this View occupies with respect to the window.
void AttachViewFront(View const &in_view, HPS::Rectangle const &in_position = HPS::Rectangle(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f))

Attached a View to this Layout, and places it to the front of the layer list

Parameters:
  • in_view – The View to be attached to this Layer.
  • in_position – A Rectangle describing the position this View occupies with respect to the window.
void BringToFront(size_t in_layer)

Brings a Layer to the front of the list, causing to be drawn on top of the other layers.

Parameters:in_layer – The layer to be moved to the front
void Delete()

Deletes this Layout. If the Layout has Views attached, they are not destroyed.

void DetachLayer(size_t in_layer)

Detaches this Layer from this Layout

Parameters:in_layer – The Layer to detach.
void DetachView(View const &in_view)

Detaches this View from this Layout

Parameters:in_view – The View to detach.
bool Equals(Layout const &in_that) const
View GetAttachedView(size_t in_layer = 0) const

Returns the View assigned to the specified Layer

Parameters:in_layer – The Layer of interest.
Returns:The View associated to in_layer.
IncludeKey GetAttachedViewIncludeLink(size_t in_layer) const

Returns the IncludeKey associated with this Layout. The include key links the Layer segment key with the View.

View GetFrontView() const

Returns the View assigned to the layer shown on top of the window

size_t GetLayerAt(HPS::WindowPoint const &in_point) const

Returns the position within the layer list of the top layer at a specified position

Parameters:in_point – A point in Window coordinates.
Returns:The position within the layer list of the top layer at position in_point.
size_t GetLayerCount() const

Returns the number of Layers currently associated with this Layout

SegmentKey GetLayerSegmentKey(size_t in_layer) const

Returns the backing SegmentKey associated with a given layer. The owner of this key is the layout segment key.

UTF8 GetName() const

Get the name used when creating this Layout.

CanvasArray GetOwningCanvases()

Returns an array containing the Canvas this Layout is included in.

CanvasArray const GetOwningCanvases() const
Rectangle GetPosition(size_t in_layer) const

Returns the position assigned to the specified Layer

Parameters:in_layer – The layer of interest.
Returns:The position of in_layer.
SegmentKey GetSegmentKey()

Each of the four display hierarchy objects (HPS::Canvas, HPS::Layout, HPS::View, HPS::Model) are backed by a HPS::SegmentKey. This function returns the HPS::SegmentKey that is associated with this HPS::Layout.

SegmentKey const GetSegmentKey() const
Layout()
Layout(Layout const &that)
inline virtual HPS::Type ObjectType() const

This function returns the type the object, as declared (if the object is derived, this does not give the true type of the derived object).

Returns:The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.
bool operator!=(Layout const &in_that) const
Layout &operator=(Layout const &in_that)
bool operator==(Layout const &in_that) const
void ReassignLayer(size_t in_layer, HPS::View in_view)

Reassigns a Layer to a different View.

Parameters:
  • in_layer – The layer to be reassigned.
  • in_view – The View in_layer will be assigned to.
void RepositionLayer(size_t in_layer, HPS::Rectangle const &in_position)

Changes the position of layer with respect to its window.

Parameters:
  • in_layer – The layer to be repositioned.
  • in_position – The new position for the layer.
bool ShowLayerAt(HPS::WindowPoint const &in_point) const

Returns whether a layer is present at the specified position.

Parameters:in_point – A point in Window coordinates.
Returns:true if a layer is present at in_point, false otherwise.
void Update() const

Redraws the Layout and all Canvases it appears in, including all of its child components.

void Update(HPS::Window::UpdateType in_type, HPS::Time in_time_limit = -1.0) const

Redraws the Layout and all Canvases it appears in, including all of its child components using the specified parameters.

Parameters:
  • in_type – one of the enum values specified by HPS::Window::UpdateType
  • in_time_limit – the maximum amount of time, in seconds, to spend updating.
UpdateNotifier UpdateWithNotifier() const

Redraws the Layout and all Canvases it appears in, including all of its child components using the default options, and also returns a notifier to facilitate tracking the update progress.

Returns:An UpdateNotifier object used to find out information about the update.
UpdateNotifier UpdateWithNotifier(HPS::Window::UpdateType in_type, HPS::Time in_time_limit = -1.0) const

Redraws the Layout and all Canvases it appears in, including all of its child components using the specified, and also returns a notifier to facilitate tracking the update progress.

Parameters:
Returns:

HPS::UpdateNotifier to facilitate tracking the update progress.
Returns:

An UpdateNotifier object used to find out information about the update.
