Detailed Description

Function Documentation

GetClassID()

Class_ID GetClassID ( )

pure virtual

Returns the unique ID for the particle container class.

ID is used for constructing the container when loading since the particle container class is not inherited from class Animatable

NumChannels()

int NumChannels ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns number of channels in the container.

GetChannel() [1/2]

IObject *& GetChannel ( int  i )

pure virtual

Returns i-th channel in the container.

GetChannel() [2/2]

IObject * GetChannel ( Interface_ID  id, Object *  privateOwner = NULL, INode *  creatorAction = NULL  )

pure virtual

Returns a channel with the given interface id.

If privateOwner is NULL, then the channel is public. If privateOwner is specified, then the channel is private with the given private owner.

GetPublicChannel()

IObject * GetPublicChannel ( int  id_PartA, int  id_PartB  )

inline

FnPub alternative for the method virtual IObject* GetChannel.

Essentially takes in the two (2) components that make up the full Interface_ID CHANNELCONTAINER_INTERFACE

Parameters

id_PartA	Corresponds to 0x74f93c00. Look at #define CHANNELCONTAINER_INTERFACE Interface_ID(0x74f93c00, 0x1eb34600)
id_PartB	Corresponds to 0x1eb34600. Look at #define CHANNELCONTAINER_INTERFACE Interface_ID(0x74f93c00, 0x1eb34600)

    { return GetChannel( Interface_ID(id_PartA, id_PartB), NULL); }

GetPrivateChannel()

IObject * GetPrivateChannel ( int  id_PartA, int  id_PartB, Object *  privateOwner, INode *  creatorAction  )

inline

FnPub alternative for method virtual IObject* GetChannel.

    { return GetChannel( Interface_ID(id_PartA, id_PartB), privateOwner, creatorAction); }

AddChannel()

bool AddChannel ( IObject *  channel )

pure virtual

Returns true if the channel has been added.

The channel may be rejected if there are duplicate interfaces in the added channel and in the container. The ParticleChannelReadWrite and ParticleChannelAmount interfaces don't count since every channel has them.

EnsureChannel()

IObject * EnsureChannel ( const Interface_ID &  iChanID, const Class_ID &  channelClassID, bool  isWrapper, const Interface_ID &  wrappingReadID, const Interface_ID &  wrappingWriteID, bool  isTransferable = TRUE, INode *  creatorAction = NULL, Object *  privateOwner = NULL, bool *  initChannel = NULL  )

pure virtual

Returns a channel object if a channel with the given interface id is in the container.

If such channel doesn't exist, that container makes an attempt to create and add a channel for the interface according to the specifications. The method is not for FnPub intentionally.

Parameters

iChanID	interface id of channel to be present in the container
channelClassID	if interface is not present then create particle channel with the classID
isWrapper	if true then the created particle channel is wrapper
wrappingReadID	read ID for wrapping the particle channel
wrappingWriteID	write ID for wrapping the particle channel
isTransferable	if true then the channel is transferable (contrary to temporary)
creatorAction	the parameter is used to record an action that created the channel this record can be used later on to identify if the action needs to initialize the channel values for new particles
privateOwner	the parameter is used to set a private owner of the channel. Only the action with the same object pointer may access this channel
initChannel	if the channel was created by the same action node then it's responsibility of the action to initialize values

EnsureInterface()

BaseInterface * EnsureInterface ( const Interface_ID &  iChanID, const Class_ID &  channelClassID, bool  isWrapper, const Interface_ID &  wrappingReadID, const Interface_ID &  wrappingWriteID, bool  isTransferable = TRUE, INode *  creatorAction = NULL, Object *  privateOwner = NULL, bool *  initChannel = NULL  )

pure virtual

Returns an interface if the interface with the given interface id is in the container.

If such interface doesn't exist, that container makes an attempt to create and add a channel for the interface according to the specifications. The method is not for FnPub intentionally.

Parameters

iChanID	interface id of channel to be present in the container
channelClassID	if interface is not present then create particle channel with the classID
isWrapper	if true then the created particle channel is wrapper
wrappingReadID	read ID for wrapping the particle channel
wrappingWriteID	write ID for wrapping the particle channel
isTransferable	if true then the channel is transferable (contrary to temporary)
creatorAction	the parameter is used to record an action that created the channel this record can be used later on to identify if the action needs to initialize the channel values for new particles
privateOwner	the parameter is used to set a private owner of the channel. Only the action with the same object pointer may access this channel
initChannel	if the channel was created by the same action node then it's responsibility of the action to initialize values

GetPrivateInterface()

BaseInterface * GetPrivateInterface ( Interface_ID  id, Object *  privateOwner  )

pure virtual

Returns an interface of a channel with the given interface id and private owner.

Parameters

id	interface id of channel to be present in the container.
privateOwner	the parameter is used to identify a private owner of the channel.

RemoveNonTransferableChannels()

pure virtual

Returns an interface of a channel with the given interface id and private owner parameters:
iChanID: interface id of channel to be present in the container
privateOwner: the parameter is used to identify a private owner of the channel.

Clone()

IObject * Clone ( )

pure virtual

Makes a clone copy of the whole container (all channels), returns new container.

Copy()

bool Copy ( IObject *  container )

pure virtual

Makes a copy from the other container, returns true if successful.

Save()

IOResult Save ( ISave *  isave ) const

pure virtual

Saves content of the channel to file.

Load()

IOResult Load ( ILoad *  iload )

pure virtual

Loads content of the channel from file.

MemoryUsed()

int MemoryUsed ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns amount of memory used (in bytes) by the channel container to store the information.

This is a total sum of the memory used by all channels and the data from the container itself.
