GMOperatorsInterfaces Global Function CATCGMCreateTopPattern

CATCGMCreateTopPattern(	`iFactory`,
	`iData`,
	`iOperation`,
	`iPart`,
	`iPlane`,
	`iTool`,
	`iListTransfo`,
	`iListJournalInfo`	`= NULL`)

Creates a CATICGMTopPattern operator with a body to pattern.

Parameters:

iFactory

The factory of the geometry.

iData

The pointer to the data containing the configuration and the journal.

iOperation

The type of operation:

CATBoolUnion: Pattern union.
CATBoolRemoval: iTool is subtracted to iPart.

iPart

The pointer to the body to pattern.

iPlane

The pointer to the plane of the pattern.

iTool

The pointer to the the first item of the pattern.

iListTransfo

The pointer to the list of tranformation of each occurrence of the pattern.

iListJournalInfo

The pointer to the list of journal "information". This list must have the same size as the list of transformations. The pattern journal is a list of orders:

 [Face_A] - Creation -> [Face_A1] 
 [Face_A] - Creation -> [Face_A2]
 ...
 [Face_A] - Creation -> [Face_Ai]
 ...
 [Face_A] - Creation -> [Face_AN]

in which Face_A is a face belonging to the object to be patterned and Face_Ai the corresponding face in instance i. If N instances are created, there are N orders with Face_A as parent and basically no way to differentiate the faces Face_A1, Face_A2, Face_Ai, ... , Face_AN. The iListJournalInfo argument is a way to add an "info" data to each journal order so that the equivalent faces can be differentiated in each instance.

Returns:

The pointer to the created operator. To Released after use.
