Geometric Properties

INDEX PREVIOUS NEXT

A graphic object is defined by a set of geometric properties, such as its location, size, shape, the way in which it is drawn, and so on. These properties are defined by a special set of methods. Of these methods, IlvGraphic.draw and IlvGraphic.boundingBox are fundamental and should be defined jointly. They are covered in the following sections:

• The boundingBox Method
• The draw Method
• Zoomable and Nonzoomable Objects
• Testing Whether a Point is Part of an Object Shape
• Moving and Resizing a Graphic Object
