Part 1 - Classes and Methods / ODFrame

ChangeFrameShape

The ChangeFrameShape method changes the frame shape of this frame.

void ChangeFrameShape (in ODShape shape, 
                       in ODCanvas biasCanvas);

shape

A reference to a frame shape to assign to this frame, expressed in frame coordinates.

biasCanvas

kODNULL if the geometry is in platform-normal coordinates, otherwise a reference to the canvas object to whose coordinate space the geometry is biased.

DISCUSSION

Your part calls its embedded frame's ChangeFrameShape method when it changes the shape of the embedded frame. This method in turn calls the FrameShapeChanged method of the embedded frame's part to notify the part that its frame shape has changed.

If the used shape is the same as the frame shape, this method also calls the UsedShapeChanged method of the embedded frame's part to notify the part that its used shape has changed.

EXCEPTIONS

kODErrIllegalNullShapeInput

The shape parameter is null.
