IRefMap_KC Interface

GetCount
SetAt
Lookup
RemoveKey
RemoveAll
GetStartPosition
GetNext

Maps two lists of closely associated elements. A typical use: When a sub mesh is extracted using IMeshEx.Extract() the method also creates a map which associates a simplex of the extracted mesh with its geometrical copy in the original mesh. The mapping actually associates positions in the lists rather than the elements themselves

A map should be thought of as an array (set) of elements (of type POSNT) indexed also by POSNT. In the above example map[position of a simplex in the extracted mesh] is the 'position of the cloned simplex in the original mesh'

See also Interface List


HRESULT GetCount(int* count)

Parameters

count-[out, retval] the returned number of the elements in the map


HRESULT SetAt(POSNT key, POSNT value)

Remarks:

Sets map[key] = value


HRESULT Lookup(POSNT key, POSNT* value, VARIANT_BOOL* found)

Parameters

key - [in] Key (index) of the element to look up

value - [out] The returned position map[key]

found - [out,retval] The returned value. False if there is no element at the index key

Remarks:

Returns the element at the index key


HRESULT RemoveKey(POSNT key, VARIANT_BOOL* found)

Parameters

key - [in] Key (index) of the element to remove

found - [out,retval] The returned value. False if there was no element at the index key


HRESULT RemoveAll()

Remarks:

Empties the map


HRESULT GetStartPosition(POSNT* position)

Remarks:
Returns the start position of this map. This position is suppposed to be used as the first parameter in the GetNext() method below, which allows stepping through the map as a list

HRESULT GetNext(POSNT* position, POSNT* key, POSNT* value)

Remarks:
Allows stepping through the map as a list. The call returns the key and the value at position and shifts position to the next element in the map considered as a list. Use GetStartPosition() above to obtain the first position in the list
