MGHGRDATAMATION__DEFINE Class
MGHgrDatamation Purpose
A container holding a graphics tree and a sequence of MGH_Command objects,
to be managed and displayed by an animator window such as MGH_Datamator.
Properties
The following properties (ie keywords to the Init, GetProperty & SetProperty
methods) are supported
CLONE (Get)
This is a logical (integer) value that tells the animator whether the frames
delivered by the animation's Get method are copies of the ones held
in the container (CLONE=1) or the originals (CLONE=0). For an
MGHgrDatamation, CLONE is 0.
GRAPHICS_TREE (Init, Get, Set)
This is a reference to an IDLgrView, IDLgrViewGroup or IDLgrScene
object. The frames in the animation are rendered by executing commands
which modify the graphics tree.
MULTIPLE (Get)
This is a logical (integer) value that tells users whether the animation
supports the simultaneous display of multiple frames. For an MGHgrDatamation,
MULTIPLE is 0.
SAVEABLE (Get)
This is a logical (integer) value that tells users whether the animation
can usefully be saved. For an MGHgrDatamation, SAVEABLE is 1. (This should be
changed so that SAVEABLE can be set to 1 if all object references are contained
in the graphics tree and zero otherwise.)
