Struct Spot

GoDiagram®
v10.0.11
by Northwoods Software®

A Spot represents a relative point from (0,0) to (1,1) within the bounds of a rectangular area plus an absolute offset.

Namespace: Northwoods.Go

Assembly: Northwoods.GoDiagram.Avalonia.dll

Syntax

[JsonConverter(typeof(SpotJsonConverter))]
public struct Spot

Remarks

Use the static functions Parse(string) and Stringify(Spot) to convert to and from a standard string representation that is independent of the current locale.

Constructors

Spot(double, double, double, double)

The default constructor produces the Spot(0, 0, 0, 0), at the top-left corner.

Declaration

public Spot(double x = 0, double y = 0, double offx = 0, double offy = 0)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
double	x	The x value of the Spot, a fractional value between zero and one. Default is zero.
double	y	The y value of the Spot, a fractional value between zero and one. Default is zero.
double	offx	(Optional) The absolute x offset. Default is zero.
double	offy	(Optional) The absolute y offset. Default is zero.

Properties

OffsetX

Gets or sets the offsetX value of the Spot. The value may be negative. If this represents a side value instead of a specific spot, this value is meaningless.

Declaration

public double OffsetX { readonly get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

A Spot(0,0,5,5) of a large rectangle is near the top-left corner, inside the rectangle. A Spot(1,1,5,5) would be near the bottom-right corner, outside the rectangle. A Spot(1,1,-5,-5) would also be near the bottom-right corner, but inside the rectangle.

OffsetY

Gets or sets the offsetY value of the Spot. The value may be negative. If this represents a side value instead of a specific spot, this value is meaningless.

Declaration

public double OffsetY { readonly get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

A Spot(0,0,5,5) of a large rectangle is near the top-left corner, inside the rectangle. A Spot(1,1,5,5) would be near the bottom-right corner, outside the rectangle. A Spot(1,1,-5,-5) would also be near the bottom-right corner, but inside the rectangle.

X

Gets or sets the x value of the Spot, a fractional value between zero and one.

Declaration

public double X { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

The Spot(0,0) of a rectangle is at the top-left corner. This value is commonly available as TopLeft. The Spot(0.5,1) would be at the middle of the bottom side. That value is commonly available as Bottom.

Y

Gets or sets the y value of the Spot, a fractional value between zero and one.

Declaration

public double Y { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

The Spot(0,1) of a rectangle is at the bottom-left corner. This value is commonly available as BottomLeft. The Spot(1,0.5) would be at the middle of the right side. That value is commonly available as Right.

Methods

Equals(object)

Two spots are equal if all four property values are the same.

Declaration

public override bool Equals(object obj)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	obj	The Spot to compare to the current Spot.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the two spots are equal, false otherwise.

Overrides

ValueType.Equals(object)

GetHashCode()

Creates a hash code for the spot.

Declaration

public override int GetHashCode()

Returns

Type	Description
int	A hash code for the current spot structure.

Overrides

ValueType.GetHashCode()

IncludesSide(Spot)

This predicate is true if this Spot is a side that includes the side(s) given by the argument Spot.

Declaration

public bool IncludesSide(Spot side)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Spot	side

Returns

Type	Description
bool	false if either this Spot or the argument Spot is not a "Side"; true if the side(s) that this Spot represents are a superset or the same set of sides represented by the argument Spot.

IsDefault()

True if this is a special spot indicating that the real spot value will come from another source.

Declaration

public bool IsDefault()

Returns

Type	Description
bool

IsNone()

True if this is a special spot referring to no particular spot or side.

Declaration

public bool IsNone()

Returns

Type	Description
bool

IsNoSpot()

True if this is an unspecific special spot, such as None or one of the sides.

Declaration

public bool IsNoSpot()

Returns

Type	Description
bool

IsSide()

True if this is a special spot referring to one (or more) of the sides. This is false if the spot is None.

Declaration

public bool IsSide()

Returns

Type	Description
bool

IsSpot()

True if this is a specific spot, not a side nor None.

Declaration

public bool IsSpot()

Returns

Type	Description
bool

Opposite()

Return a new spot that is opposite this spot.

Declaration

public Spot Opposite()

Returns

Type	Description
Spot

Remarks

The X and Y values will be an equal distance away from the center on the other side of the center. The OffsetX and OffsetY values are also negated.

The result is meaningless if IsNoSpot() is true.
