Detailed Description

This class manages categories A category is defined by a name and a number, and can be seen as a way of rough classification, i.e. less precise than a cdl type. Hence, it is possible to dispatch every entity in about a dozen of categories, twenty is a reasonable maximum.

Basically, the system provides the following categories : Shape (Geometry, BRep, CSG, Features, etc...) Drawing (Drawing, Views, Annotations, Pictures, Sketches ...) Structure (Component & Part, Groups & Patterns ...) Description (Meta-Data : Relations, Properties, Product ...) Auxiliary (those which do not enter in the above list) and some dedicated categories FEA, Kinematics, Piping, etc... plus Professional for other dedicated non-classed categories

In addition, this class provides a way to compute then quickly query category numbers for an entire model. Values are just recorded as a list of numbers, control must then be done in a wider context (which must provide a Graph)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Interface_Category() [1/3]

Interface_Category::Interface_Category ( )

Member Function Documentation

AddCategory()

int Interface_Category::AddCategory ( const char *const theName )

static

Records a new Category defined by its names, produces a number New if not yet recorded.

CatNum()

int Interface_Category::CatNum	(	const occ::handle< Standard_Transient > &	theEnt,
		const Interface_ShareTool &	theShares )

Determines the Category Number for an entity in its context, by using general service CategoryNumber.

ClearNums()

void Interface_Category::ClearNums ( )

inline

Clears the recorded list of category numbers for a Model.

Compute()

void Interface_Category::Compute	(	const occ::handle< Interface_InterfaceModel > &	theModel,
		const Interface_ShareTool &	theShares )

Computes the Category Number for each entity and records it, in an array (ent.number -> category number) Hence, it can be queried by the method Num. The Model itself is not recorded, this method is intended to be used in a wider context (which detains also a Graph, etc).

Init()

void Interface_Category::Init ( )

static

Default initialisation (protected against several calls : passes only once).

Name()

const char * Interface_Category::Name ( const int theNum )

static

Returns the name of a category, according to its number.

NbCategories()

int Interface_Category::NbCategories ( )

static
