movetool

MoveTool(3U)						    InterViews Reference Manual 					      MoveTool(3U)

NAME

       MoveTool - tool for translating components

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/Tools/move.h>

DESCRIPTION

       MoveTool lets the user translate components to new positions by direct manipulation.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       MoveTool(ControlInfo* = nil)
	      Create a new MoveTool.

       virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator(
	  Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*
       )

       virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*)
	      CreateManipulator  detects  whether  the	user  clicked  on a component.	If not, it clears the editor's selection and returns a nil
	      manipulator.  If a component was hit, and if the component was not previously selected, then CreateManipulator clears  the  editor's
	      selection,  selects  the	component the user hit, and delegates manipulator creation and interpretation to it.  If the component was
	      the only selected component, it again delegates manipulator creation and interpretation to the component, but the selection is unal-
	      tered.   If the user clicks on one of many selected components, then CreateManipulator will delegate manipulator creation and inter-
	      pretation without altering the selection by calling GraphicView::CreateManipulator and GraphicView::InterpretManipulator on the com-
	      ponent.
