Shape
A shape object.
Example
application = cf.Application.GetInstance() project = application:NewProject() -- Create a cross shape cross = project.Definitions.PeriodicStructures.Shapes:AddCross(1.5, 1.2, 0.5) -- Build geometry for the cross shape cross:BuildGeometry()
Inheritance
The Shape object is derived from the Object object.
The following objects are derived (specialisations) from the Shape object:
Usage locations
The Shape object can be accessed from the following locations:
- Properties
- UnitCellLayer object has property Shape.
- Methods
- ShapeCollection collection has method Item(number).
- ShapeCollection collection has method Item(string).
Property List
Method List
- BuildGeometry ()
- Creates the full geometry representation of the shape. (Returns a Geometry object.)
- Delete ()
- Deletes the entity.
- Duplicate ()
- Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
- GetProperties ()
- Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
- SetProperties (properties Object)
- Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
Static Function List
- GetDefaultProperties ()
- Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
