DrawOneWayLayout

Function used to perform segment layouts at a specified span, horizontal run, as well as spacing. 

...

Function: DrawOneWayLayout(const AItem: WideStringconst SpanLine: ILine; const RunLine: ILine; bIncludeFirst: WordBool; bIncludeLast: WordBool; nSpacing: Doubleconst AArea: WideString): WordBool;

Arguments: 

AItem: WideString

Specifies the area section to assign the layout segments to.

SpanLine: ILine
Direction span start and endpoint.

RunLine: ILine
Horizontal (side to side) run direction of area to populate. Requires a start and endpoint;

bIncludeFirst: WordBool
Specifies whether to include a segment at the "start" run point. Even if it does not fall within the spacing range.

bIncludeLast: WordBool
Specifies whether to include a segment at the "last" run point. Even if it does not fall within the spacing range.

nSpacing: Double
Specifies the "run" spacing used when laying out segment objects.

AArea: WideString (optional parameter)
Specifies a defined "Area Segment" to trim/extend laid segments to. Supply either the path or guid to the area section. Or, empty double-quotes for no trim/extending required.
