Pipes Delphi Sample

Overview

Implementation

Model of the sample is constructed dynamically at runtime so the ModelPath property of the DG Kernel control is empty. Construction of the model starts in UpdateModelInfo procedure.

In TPipesForm.DefineCentralCurveGeometry() ICurveFreeForm:.etData() is used to asses IArray3D of data points. After which the central line is an arc or radius 100 in x, z plane from (0, 100, 0) to (-100, 100, 100) extended with a straight line from (100, -200, 0) to (100, 0, 0) and an arc or radius 100 in x, y plane from (100, 0, 0) to (0, 100, 0).

Notice the way array of spline frames IFrameArray is accessed in UpdateSplineFrame() 

TPipesForm.OnClientDraw() is probably the least intuitive places in the program. As geometry of the curve is defined relative to the local frame of the pipe it is simple to make the frame current using IDraw2::SetCurrentFrame(). The same procedure is repeated in TPipesForm.DrawSplineAttributes() to draw the local frame of the spline.
