Sample Class Reference

## Detailed Description

A Sample is a generic concept used to describe a PolygonNode or NurbsSample.

Having a generic term for this concept allows the user to write code to traverse an object's geometry in a generic fashion without resorting to special case handling based on a specific geometry type.

  Facet::GetSamples, Segment::GetSamples, Point::GetSamples, Geometry::GetSamples, CSampleRefArray

Example:

            using namespace XSI;
            Application app;
            Model root = app.GetActiveSceneRoot();

            X3DObject myCube;
            root.AddGeometry( L"Cube", L"MeshSurface", L"", myCube );

            CSampleRefArray samples(
                myCube.GetActivePrimitive().GetGeometry().GetSamples() );

            LONG lCount = samples.GetCount();
            for ( LONG i=0; i<lCount; i++ )
            {
                Sample sample(samples[i]);

                app.LogMessage( L"Sample.Index " +
                                CValue(sample.GetIndex()).GetAsText() );
            }

Default destructor.

Sample | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) |

Constructor.

Parameters:

  in_ref | constant reference object.

Sample | ( | const Sample & | in_obj | ) |

## Member Function Documentation

bool IsA | ( | siClassID | in_ClassID | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:

  in_ClassID | class type.

Returns:
  true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

Reimplemented in NurbsSample, and PolygonNode.

siClassID GetClassID | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:
  The class type.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

Reimplemented in NurbsSample, and PolygonNode.

Sample& operator= | ( | const Sample & | in_obj | ) |

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:

  in_obj | constant class object.

Returns:
  The new Sample object.

Sample& operator= | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) |

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:

  in_ref | constant class object.

Returns:
  The new Sample object.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

Reimplemented in NurbsSample, and PolygonNode.

LONG GetIndex | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the index of this Sample object relative to its Facet object.

Returns:
  The sample's index.

Reimplemented in PolygonNode.

SubComponent GetSubComponent | ( |  | ) | const

Creates a SubComponent object from this Sample object,

Returns:
  A SubComponent object

Sample Navigate | ( | siNavigateComponentType | in_siNavigate | ) | const

Navigates the Sample objects of the underlying geometry as specifed by the navigation component type. Navigation is circular -- for instance, navigating beyond the last component will return the first and vice versa.

Parameters:

  in_siNavigate | Type of direction for navigating the Sample objects.

Returns:
  The Sample object being visited.
