TextEntity Methods

The TextEntity type exposes the following members.

Methods

 

Name Description
Public method ComponentIndex If this piece of geometry is a component in something larger, like a BrepEdge in a Brep, then this function returns the component index. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected method ConstructConstObject Assigns a parent object and a subobject index to this. (Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public method Dispose() Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses. (Inherited from CommonObject.)
Protected method Dispose(Boolean) For derived class implementers. This method is called with argument true when class user calls Dispose(), while with argument false when the Garbage Collector invokes the finalizer, or Finalize() method.

You must reclaim all used unmanaged resources in both cases, and can use this chance to call Dispose on disposable fields if the argument is true.

Also, you must call the base virtual method within your overriding method.

(Inherited from CommonObject.)

Public method Duplicate Constructs a deep (full) copy of this object. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method DuplicateShallow Constructs a light copy of this object. By "light", it is meant that the same underlying data is used until something is done to attempt to change it. For example, you could have a shallow copy of a very heavy mesh object and the same underlying data will be used when doing things like inspecting the number of faces on the mesh. If you modify the location of one of the mesh vertices, the shallow copy will create a full duplicate of the underlying mesh data and the shallow copy will become a deep copy. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method EnsurePrivateCopy If you want to keep a copy of this class around by holding onto it in a variable after a command completes, call EnsurePrivateCopy to make sure that this class is not tied to the document. You can call this function as many times as you want. (Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Explode Explodes this text entity into an array of curves.
Protected method Finalize Passively reclaims unmanaged resources when the class user did not explicitly call Dispose(). (Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodCode example GetBoundingBox(Boolean) Boundingbox solver. Gets the world axis aligned boundingbox for the geometry. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodCode example GetBoundingBox(Plane) Aligned Boundingbox solver. Gets the plane aligned boundingbox. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method GetBoundingBox(Transform) Aligned Boundingbox solver. Gets the world axis aligned boundingbox for the transformed geometry. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method GetBoundingBox(Plane, Box) Aligned Boundingbox solver. Gets the plane aligned boundingbox. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetObjectData Populates a System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo with the data needed to serialize the target object. (Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetUserString Gets user string from this geometry. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method GetUserStrings Gets a copy of all (user key string, user value string) pairs attached to this geometry. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method IsValidWithLog Determines if an object is valid. Also provides a report on errors if this object happens not to be valid. (Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public method MakeDeformable If possible, converts the object into a form that can be accurately modified with "squishy" transformations like projections, shears, an non-uniform scaling. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method MemoryEstimate Computes an estimate of the number of bytes that this object is using in memory. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected method NonConstOperation For derived classes implementers. Defines the necessary implementation to free the instance from being const.

(Inherited from CommonObject.)

Protected method OnSwitchToNonConst Is called when a non-const operation occurs. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method Rotate Rotates the object about the specified axis. A positive rotation angle results in a counter-clockwise rotation about the axis (right hand rule). (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method Scale Scales the object by the specified factor. The scale is centered at the origin. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method SetUserString Attach a user string (key,value combination) to this geometry. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Transform Transforms the geometry. If the input Transform has a SimilarityType of OrientationReversing, you may want to consider flipping the transformed geometry after calling this function when it makes sense. For example, you may want to call Flip() on a Brep after transforming it. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method Translate(Vector3d) Translates the object along the specified vector. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public method Translate(Double, Double, Double) Translates the object along the specified vector. (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
