DrawTwoWayLayout
Function used to perform segment layouts (in 2 directions ) at a specified span, horizontal run, as well as spacing.
Syntax:
Procedure:Â DrawTwoWayLayout(const AItem: WideString; const SpanLine: ILine; const RunLine: ILine; bIncludeFirst:Â
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 (globally unique identifier) to the area section. Or, empty double-quotes for no trim/extending required.
Code Reference:
- Create a New Form application
- Add a button to the form
- Add PlanSwift to reference (Planswift9_tlb in the uses)
