EllipseComp(3U)

💅 EllipseComp(3U) 💅

ok so this is a page straight out of the InterViews Reference Manual, bestie, and it's all about ellipses — the pretty round ones ✨ (three of them, actually: EllipseComp, EllipseView, and PSEllipse). Grab a snack, we're going in 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

EllipseComp, EllipseView, PSEllipse — the ellipse component subject, its view, and its PostScript external representation. it's giving trio energy 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Unidraw/Components/ellipse.h>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕

• EllipseComp is a GraphicComp that defines an ellipse. it uses an Ellipse graphic to store its graphical attributes. so cute, so organized 💖
• EllipseView is a GraphicView whose whole job is displaying the ellipse. main character energy, honestly 🌟
• PSEllipse is a PostScriptView that externalizes the subject's information in PostScript form. it's the one that speaks printer 🖨️✨

👑 ELLIPSECOMP PUBLIC OPERATIONS 👑

• EllipseComp(SF_Ellipse* = nil) — the constructor, and she takes an optional stroked-filled ellipse that defines the attributes of the ellipse. optional!! so if you don't pass one, no stress 🫶
• SF_Ellipse* GetEllipse() — returns the SF_Ellipse graphic that defines the ellipse's attributes. and ngl, GetEllipse is literally just a more specific form of the GetGraphic operation. same vibe, more ✨specificity✨

🌸 ELLIPSEVIEW PUBLIC OPERATIONS 🌸

• EllipseView(EllipseComp* = nil) — creates an EllipseView, and you can optionally hand her the subject. no pressure 🎀
• virtual void Interpret(Command*) — EllipseView interprets AlignToGridCmd to align its center to the grid. snapping into place, periodt 📐
• virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator( Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*, Tool* )
• virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*) — EllipseView redefines its response to manipulation with a GraphicCompTool. here's how the interaction goes: the user clicks to specify the center of the ellipse, and then drags to vary its axes 🖱️💫. and the center and the axes will be constrained by gravity, if any — so if there's gravity in the mix, bestie, everything gets pulled into line.
• EllipseComp* GetEllipseComp() — returns the subject. that's it, that's the whole job 💁

🎀 PSELLIPSE PUBLIC OPERATIONS 🎀

• PSEllipse(EllipseComp* = nil) — constructs a PostScript external representation of the given subject, if any. (again with the "if any" — optional stays optional 😌)

💀 real talk for a sec: this page is from Unidraw, dated 22 January 1991. yes, 1991. vintage icon behavior, no cap 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! you understood all of it, I'm so proud of you 😭💜 go draw some ellipses, you got this ✨🦋
