Transformation

This class represents the concept Transformation.

Class

class GeometricItem
   relation material
      range Material, cardinality [0, 1]
class Transformation
   relation matrix
      range Matrix, cardinality [0, 1]
   relation object
      range GeometricItem, cardinality [0, 1]
   property recalculateBBox
      range bool, cardinality [0, 1]

Example (based on pure API calls)

Here you can find code snippits that show how the API call Transformation can be used.

#include    "./include/engine.h"

int64_t model = CreateModel();

if (model) {
    //
    //  Classes
    //
    int64_t classCylinder = GetClassByName(model, "Cylinder"),
            classMatrix = GetClassByName(model, "Matrix"),
            classTransformation = GetClassByName(model, "Transformation");

    //
    //  Object Properties (relations)
    //
    int64_t propertyMatrix = GetPropertyByName(model, "matrix"),
            propertyObject = GetPropertyByName(model, "object");

    //
    //  Datatype Properties (attributes)
    //
    int64_t property_41 = GetPropertyByName(model, "_41"),
            property_42 = GetPropertyByName(model, "_42"),
            property_43 = GetPropertyByName(model, "_43"),
            propertyLength = GetPropertyByName(model, "length"),
            propertyRadius = GetPropertyByName(model, "radius"),
            propertySegmentationParts = GetPropertyByName(model, "segmentationParts");

    //
    //  Instances (creating)
    //
    int64_t myInstanceCylinder = CreateInstance(classCylinder, nullptr),
            myInstanceMatrix = CreateInstance(classMatrix, nullptr),

    SetObjectProperty(myInstanceTransformation, propertyObject, &myInstanceCylinder, 1);
    SetObjectProperty(myInstanceTransformation, propertyMatrix, &myInstanceMatrix, 1);

    double  length = 2.8,
            radius = 1.3;
    int64_t segmentationParts = 36;

    SetDatatypeProperty(myInstanceCylinder, propertyLength, &length, 1);
    SetDatatypeProperty(myInstanceCylinder, propertyRadius, &radius, 1);
    SetDatatypeProperty(myInstanceCylinder, propertySegmentationParts, &segmentationParts, 1);

    double  offsetX = 3.3,
            offsetY = -1.2,
            offsetZ = 0.5;
    SetDatatypeProperty(myInstanceMatrix, property_41, &offsetX, 1);
    SetDatatypeProperty(myInstanceMatrix, property_42, &offsetY, 1);
    SetDatatypeProperty(myInstanceMatrix, property_43, &offsetZ, 1);

    //
    //  The resulting model can be viewed in 3D-Editor.exe
    //
    SaveModel(model, "c:\\created\\myTransformation.bin");
    CloseModel(model);
