Class API

---

class LineShape(Shape)

The LineShape class may be attached to two nodes, it may be segmented, in which case a control point is drawn for each joint.

A LineShape may have arrows at the beginning, end and centre.

Methods

---

__init__(self)

Default class constructor.

---

AddArrow(self, type, end = ARROW_POSITION_END, size = 10.0, xOffset = 0.0, name = "", mf = None, arrowId = -1)

Add an arrow (or annotation) to the line.

Parameters:

• type – an arrow head type, one of the following

  Arrow head type	Description
  ARROW_HOLLOW_CIRCLE	a hollow circle
  ARROW_FILLED_CIRCLE	a filled circle
  ARROW_ARROW	an arrow
  ARROW_SINGLE_OBLIQUE	a single oblique
  ARROW_DOUBLE_OBLIQUE	a double oblique
  ARROW_METAFILE	custom, define in metafile

• end – may be one of the following

  Arrow head type	Description
  ARROW_POSITION_END	arrow appears at the end
  ARROW_POSITION_START	arrow appears at the start

• size – specifies the lenght of the arrow
• xOffset – specifies the offset from the end of the line
• name – specifies a name
• mf – mf can be a wxPseduoMetaFile, perhaps loaded from a simple Windows metafile.
• arrowId – the id for the arrow

---

AddArrowOrdered(self, arrow, referenceList, end)

Add an arrowhead in the position indicated by the reference list of arrowheads, which contains all legal arrowheads for this line, in the correct order. E.g.

Reference list: a b c d e Current line list: a d

Add c, then line list is: a c d.

If no legal arrowhead position, return FALSE. Assume reference list is for one end only, since it potentially defines the ordering for any one of the 3 positions. So we don’t check the reference list for arrowhead position.

Parameters:

• arrow – an instance of ArrowHead
• referenceList – ???
• end – ???

---

ClearArrow(self, name)

Delete the arrow with the given name.

Parameters:name – name of arrow to delete

---

ClearArrowsAtPosition(self, end)

Delete the arrows at the specified position, or at any position if position is -1.

Parameters:end – position to clear arrow from

---

Delete(self)

Delete the line, unlink it first.

---

DeleteArrowHead(self, position, name)

Delete arrowhead by position and name.

if position is -1, matches any position.

Parameters:

---

DeleteArrowHeadId(self, arrowId)

Delete arrowhead by id.

Parameters:arrowId – id of arrow to delete

---

DeleteLineControlPoint(self)

Delete an arbitary point on the line.

---

Draggable(self)

Note

This is really to distinguish between lines and other images. For lines we want to pass drag to canvas, since lines tend to prevent dragging on a canvas (they get in the way.)

---
