Array of Array of wxPoints Topic is solved

[ionstream]

I'm making a simple drawing application that uses vectors to draw things onto the screen (boy that was a weirdly worded sentence). Anyways, when the user clicks on the drawing space with the brush setting on, I need to:

1: Create a new object that contains the points of the line
2: Create a dynamic array containing all the points on that line
3: Append the new object onto a main array, so I can loop through that array and draw each line.


Does anyone know how I would do this? I don't know how to use wxArrays or wxLists, those macros creating them confuse me. Explanation?

Also, on a side note (but still relating to my program), does anyone know how to draw antialiased lines in wxWidgets?

In your hpp file:

Code: Select all

WX_DECLARE_OBJARRAY(wxPoint, PointArray);
WX_DECLARE_OBJARRAY(PointArray, PointArrayList);

and at the end of your cpp file:

Code: Select all

#include <wx/arrimpl.cpp>
WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY(PointArray);
WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY(PointArrayList);

All right, but how would I use that in my program? Do I have to create a new PointArrayList object? And how would I dynamically add some PointArrays to PointArrayList?

Thanks!


EDIT: Nevermind, it turns out that I do need to create a new PointArrayList object, and new PointArrays. I did this by putting "static PointArray *temp = NULL" in my mouse click event handler, and when the mouse button is down, I use "new" to allocate it, and when the mouse is up, I use temp->Clear and temp = NULL.

Thanks, hopefully my software will be finished soon!

Now I'm having a problem getting PointArrays from the main PointArrayList. I do:

Code: Select all

PointArray p = pointlist.Item(0);
wxPoint point = p.Item(0);

But that crashes as soon as it gets to p.Item(0). Can anyone help?

PointArray p = pointlist.Item(0);
wxPoint point = p.Item(0);

Have you inserted some items before the .Item(0) call?

Btw, use an debug build of your app. It will give you an nice assertion message (i.e. the reason of the crash).

Alright, its fixed, the problem was that I was adding pointers to the array, and not just objects. Thanks!
