Detailed description

_const_cast

Signature: [const] LayoutQueryIterator ptr _const_cast

Description: Returns a non-const reference to self.

Basically, this method allows turning a const object reference to a non-const one. This method is provided as last resort to remove the constness from an object. Usually there is a good reason for a const object reference, so using this method may have undesired side effects.

This method has been introduced in version 0.29.6.

_create

Signature: void _create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

_destroy

Signature: void _destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

_destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool _destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

_is_const_object?

Signature: [const] bool _is_const_object?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference

This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self.

_manage

Signature: void _manage

Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side.

After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

_unmanage

Signature: void _unmanage

Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side.

Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

cell

Signature: variant cell

Description: A shortcut for 'get("cell")'

cell_index

Signature: variant cell_index

Description: A shortcut for 'get("cell_index")'

create

Signature: void create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _create instead

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

data

Signature: variant data

Description: A shortcut for 'get("data")'

destroy

Signature: void destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroy instead

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

dtrans

Signature: variant dtrans

Description: A shortcut for 'get("dtrans")'

get

Signature: variant get (string name)

Description: Gets the query property with the given name

The query properties available can be obtained from the query object using LayoutQuery#property_names. Some shortcut methods are available. For example, the data method provides a shortcut for 'get("data")'.

If a property with the given name is not available, nil will be returned.

initial_cell

Signature: variant initial_cell

Description: A shortcut for 'get("initial_cell")'

initial_cell_index

Signature: variant initial_cell_index

Description: A shortcut for 'get("initial_cell_index")'

inst

Signature: variant inst

Description: A shortcut for 'get("inst")'

is_const_object?

Signature: [const] bool is_const_object?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _is_const_object? instead

This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self.

layer_index

Signature: variant layer_index

Description: A shortcut for 'get("layer_index")'

layout

Signature: [const] const Layout ptr layout

Description: Gets the layout the query acts on

new

Signature: [static] new LayoutQueryIterator ptr new

Description: Creates a new object of this class

Python specific notes:
This method is the default initializer of the object.

parent_cell

Signature: variant parent_cell

Description: A shortcut for 'get("parent_cell")'

parent_cell_index

Signature: variant parent_cell_index

Description: A shortcut for 'get("parent_cell_index")'

path_dtrans

Signature: variant path_dtrans

Description: A shortcut for 'get("path_dtrans")'

path_trans

Signature: variant path_trans

Description: A shortcut for 'get("path_trans")'

query

Signature: [const] const LayoutQuery ptr query

Description: Gets the query the iterator follows on

shape

Signature: variant shape

Description: A shortcut for 'get("shape")'

trans

Signature: variant trans

Description: A shortcut for 'get("trans")'
