Memory Methods on Surface_Build

 

   (SURFACE_BUILD * ) GRAPE(Surface_Build, "new-instance")(name)

CLASS * Surface_Build
char * name

Create an instance of class Surface_Build with name name by calling "new-instance" on the superclass Surface and creating the Build_Parm instance build_parm.

   GRAPE(sfbuild, "free")()

SURFACE_BUILD * sfbuild

Free the memory of a Surface_Build instance by sending "delete" to its build_parm instance and "free" to the superclass. For more information about "delete"/"free" see 5.4.4.1.

     

SURFACE_BUILD * sfbuild

"list-alloc" calculates the number of points needed for the geometries from the build_parm data (build_parm therefore has to be initialized before "list-alloc" is called) and then calls "list-alloc" on the superclass. If more than one surface patch is needed additional objects are added to the geometry Chain.

"list-free" just calls "list-free" on the superclass and on build_parm.
