Part 1 - Classes and Methods / ODTransform

InitTransform

The InitTransform method initializes this transform. This method is needed only if you subclass ODTransform.

void InitTransform ();

DISCUSSION

This method is not called directly to initialize this transform object, but is called by a subclass-specific initialization method. By convention, every subclass of ODTransform should have a separate initialization method (for example, the InitMyTransform method) that is called when an instance of that subclass is created. The initialization method may have additional parameters beyond those of the InitTransform method. The InitMyTransform method should call the inherited InitTransform method at the beginning of its implementation.

If you subclass ODTransform, your subclass-specific initialization method, rather than its somInit method, should handle any initialization code that can potentially fail. For example, your initialization method may attempt to allocate memory for your transform.

OVERRIDING

If you subclass ODTransform, you should not override this method.
