GetTwoWayLayout

GetTwoWayLayout



Function used to perform segment layouts (in 2 directions) at a specified span, horizontal run, as well as spacing.



Syntax:

Procedure: GetTwoWayLayout(const AItem: WideString; const sSpanHint: WideString; const sRunHint: WideString; bIncludeFirst: WordBool; bIncludeLast: WordBool; nSpacing: Double; const AArea: WideString): WordBool;

Arguments: 
AItem: WideString
Specifies the area section to assign the layout segments to.

sSpanHint: WideString
Hint to user on mouse cursor specifying to select the span line.

sRunHint: WideString
Hint to user on mouse cursor specifying to select the run line.

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.

Code Reference:

    1. Create a New Form application
    2. Add a button to the form
    3. Add PlanSwift to reference (Planswift9_tlb in the uses)
    4. Copy code to button onclick event

  // place or ignore segment at run "end" point...
  bIncludeLast := FALSE; // (T/F)...

  // spacing (inches) used when creating segments...
  nSpacing := 24; // 12, 16, 24...

  // either create or select a area section to trim or extend to...
  aAreaSection := SelectedItem();
