16.10 LeafFromGeometry object

The LeafFromGeometry object can be used whenever a Leaf object is expected as an argument. Leaf objects are used to specify the items in a display group. Leaf objects are constructed as temporary objects, which are then used as arguments to DisplayGroup commands.

The LeafFromGeometry object is derived from the Leaf object.

16.10.1 LeafFromGeometry(...)

This method creates a Leaf object from a sequence of edge, face and cell geometry objects. Any combination of edge, face or cell arguments is allowed however the arguments must specify at least one object--it is not permissible to create an empty leaf.

Path

LeafFromGeometry

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

edgeSeq

A sequence of geometry edges.

faceSeq

A sequence of geometry faces.

cellSeq

A sequence of geometry cells.

Return value

A LeafFromGeometry object.

Exceptions

If at least one of the sequences is not passed to this method:

Cannot define empty leaf.

16.10.2 Members

The LeafFromGeometry object has the following member:

leafType

A SymbolicConstant specifying the leaf type. Possible values are EMPTY, DEFAULT_MODEL, ALL_ELEMENTS, ALL_NODES, and ALL_SURFACES.
