NAME

       Vertices - abstract base class for graphics defined by a set of coordinate pairs

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/Graphic/verts.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Vertices  is  an  abstract  base  class  for  graphics  such as polygons and splines whose
       geometry is specified by a set of coordinate pairs.  The Vertices class  supports  vertex-
       related operations common to all such graphical objects and also supports extent caching.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       virtual ~Vertices()
              The destructor deallocates the list of coordinate pairs stored in the graphic.

       virtual int GetOriginal(const Coord*& x, const Coord*& y)
              Return pointers to the arrays of Coords stored internally that define the graphic's
              vertices.  GetOriginal's return value reflects the size of the arrays.

       virtual boolean operator == (Vertices&)
       virtual boolean operator != (Vertices&)
              Compare this to the given Vertices instance and return whether they (do not)  store
              identical sets of vertices.

PROTECTED OPERATIONS

       Vertices(Graphic* = nil)
       Vertices(Coord* x, Coord* y, int count, Graphic* = nil)
              The  constructors  are  protected  to disallow instantiation of the abstract class.
              Subclasses can pass a set of vertices to copy into internal storage and an optional
              graphic  from  which  to  obtain an initial set of graphics state.  Vertices itself
              stores no additional graphics state over that in the Graphic base class.

       void s_getExtent(
           float&, float&, float&, float&, float&, Graphic*
       )

       void f_getExtent(
           float&, float&, float&, float&, float&, Graphic*
       )
              Helper functions that return extent information based on the bounding box that  the
              vertices  define.   s_getExtent  returns an extent that accounts for the width of a
              brush, as would be  necessary  if  the  vertices  defined  a  stroked  path,  while
              f_getExtent assumes that the vertices define the graphic's extremities, as would be
              the case if the vertices defined a filled path.  These operations cache the  extent
              they compute initially.
