Detailed Description

The reference object.

A reference reuses an object defined in an Ipe style sheet. The object is defined as a named template in the style sheet, and can be reused arbitrarily often in the document. This can, for instance, be used for backgrounds on multi-page documents.

It is admissible to refer to an undefined object (that is, the current style sheet cascade does not define a template with the given name).


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IpeReference::IpeReference ( IpeRepository rep,
const IpeXmlAttributes attr,
IpeString  data 
) [explicit]

Create from XML stream.

IpeReference::IpeReference ( const IpeStyleSheet sheet,
IpeAttribute  name 
) [explicit]

Create a reference to the named object in stylesheet.

IpeReference::IpeReference ( const IpeReference rhs  ) 

Copy constructor.


Member Function Documentation

IpeObject * IpeReference::Clone (  )  const [virtual]

Clone object.

Implements IpeObject.

IpeReference * IpeReference::AsReference (  )  [virtual]

Return pointer to this object.

Reimplemented from IpeObject.

void IpeReference::Accept ( IpeVisitor visitor  )  const [virtual]

Calls VisitXXX method of the visitor.

Implements IpeObject.

void IpeReference::SaveAsXml ( IpePainter painter,
IpeStream stream,
IpeString  layer 
) const [virtual]

Save in XML format.

Implements IpeObject.

void IpeReference::Draw ( IpePainter painter  )  const [virtual]

Draw reference.

If the symbolic attribute is not defined in the current style sheet, nothing is drawn at all.

Implements IpeObject.

void IpeReference::AddToBBox ( IpeRect box,
const IpeMatrix m 
) const [virtual]

Extend box to include the object transformed by m.

For Ipe objects in a page, don't call this directly. The IpePgObject caches the bounding box, so it is far more efficient to call IpePgObject::BBox.

If called with an empty box, the result of this function is a tight bounding box for the object, with a little leeway in case the boundary is determined by a spline (it has to be approximated to perform this operation).

Implements IpeObject.

double IpeReference::Distance ( const IpeVector v,
const IpeMatrix m,
double  bound 
) const [virtual]

Return distance of transformed object to point v. If larger than bound, can just return bound.

Implements IpeObject.

void IpeReference::SnapVtx ( const IpeVector mouse,
const IpeMatrix m,
IpeVector pos,
double &  bound 
) const [virtual]

Compute possible vertex snapping position for transformed object.

Looks only for positions closer than bound. If successful, modify pos and bound.

Implements IpeObject.

void IpeReference::SnapBnd ( const IpeVector mouse,
const IpeMatrix m,
IpeVector pos,
double &  bound 
) const [virtual]

Compute boundary snapping position for transformed object.

Looks only for positions closer than bound. If successful, modify pos and bound. The default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented from IpeObject.

void IpeReference::CheckStyle ( const IpeStyleSheet sheet,
IpeAttributeSeq seq 
) const [virtual]

Check symbolic attributes of object.

Reimplemented from IpeObject.

IpeAttribute IpeReference::Name (  )  const [inline]

Return symbolic name.

const IpeObject* IpeReference::Object (  )  const [inline]

Return pointer to cached object.
