API reference - Class DTrans

Notation used in Ruby API documentation

Description: A simple transformation

Simple transformations only provide rotations about angles which a multiples of 90 degree. Together with the mirror options, this results in 8 distinct orientations (fixpoint transformations). These can be combined with a displacement which is applied after the rotation/mirror. This version acts on floating-point coordinates. A version for integer coordinates is Trans.

Here are some examples for using the DTrans class:

t = RBA::DTrans::new(0, 100)  # displacement by 100 DBU in y direction
# the inverse: -> "r0 0,-100"
t.inverted.to_s
# concatenation: -> "r90 -100,0"
(RBA::DTrans::new(RBA::DTrans::R90) * t).to_s
# apply to a point: -> "0,100"
RBA::DTrans::new(RBA::DTrans::R90).trans(RBA::DPoint::new(100, 0))

See The Database API for more details about the database objects.

Returns:The modified transformation

The * operator returns self*t ("t is applied before this transformation").

Description: A sorting criterion

This method is provided to implement a sorting order. The definition of 'less' is opaque and might change in future versions.

void _create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

void _destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

[const] bool _destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

[const] bool _is_const_object?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference

This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self.

void _manage

Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side.

After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

void _unmanage

Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side.

Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

[const] int angle

Description: Gets the angle in units of 90 degree

This value delivers the rotation component. In addition, a mirroring at the x axis may be applied before if the is_mirror? property is true.

Description: Assigns another object to self

void create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead
