ITextSection_KC Interface

SetText
GetText
CreateGeometryFlat
CreateGeometrySolid
GetType
GetFontName
GetGeometricWidth

The ITextSection_KC Interface provides access to properties of a geometric text. This interface is obtained during creation of geometric text or it can be queried from the relevant ISection interface.


HRESULT SetText(char* text)

text-[in] The text


HRESULT GetText(BSTR* text)

Remarks:

Returns the text string


HRESULT CreateGeometryFlat(int type, double heightGeometric, double spacing, char* fontName, IView* view)

type-[in] 0 - to create a wire text, 1 - to create flat text

heightGeometric-[in] Geometric vertical size of the text in the units used to model the scene

spacing-[in] Space between letters in the geometric units used to model the scene

fontName-[in] Name of a font installed on the computer

view-[in] interface of the DG Kernel view. Normally obtained via Component.GetView()

Remarks:

Creates the wires or surface of the text object


HRESULT CreateGeometrySolid(double heightGeometric, double thickness, double spacing, char* fontName, IView* view)

heightGeometric-[in] Geometric vertical size of the text in the units used to model the scene (geometric units)

thickness-[in] Geometric thickness in geometric units

spacing-[in] Space between letters in geometric units

fontName-[in] Name of a font installed on the computer

view-[in] interface of the DG Kernel view. Normally obtained via Component.GetView()

Remarks:

Creates solids one per character of the text


HRESULT GetType(int* type)

RRemarks:

Returns 0 if the text has been created as a wire frame, 1 - flat, 2 - solid


HRESULT GetFontName(BSTR* name)

Remarks:

Returns the string passed in the CreateGeometry* call


HRESULT GetGeometricWidth(double* width)

Remarks:

Returns total width of the constructed sequence of character objects or 0 if CreateGeometry*() was not called yet
