SpaceArrayCallback Class Reference

#include <spacearraycallback.h>

Class Description

See also

Class Interface, Class ShapeObject, Class Spline3D, Class Point3.

Description:

This is the callback object for the method Interface::DoSpaceArrayDialog(SpaceArrayCallback *sacb=NULL)=0

This is the method which brings up the Spacing tool. This lets the user distribute objects based on the current selection along a path defined by a spline or a pair of points.

The callback is mostly for use for plug-ins that need to use the spacing tool as a way of generating spacing information. If one wants to customize the default behaviour of the dialog, they derive a class from this one and implement the virtual methods. The non-virtuals simply provide access to the spacing information. This is both for setting the defaults before calling the spacing tool as well as getting out the information after using the spacing tool.
