Resources
The
Base class does not define any public resources.
Description
This object is the base of all other objects in the HLU library.
It provides much of the functionality that is available for all other objects
in the library.
The following support functions are defined for objects of type
Base:
-
NhlCreate
-
The NhlCreate function is used to create an instance of any
HLU object.
-
NhlSetValues
-
The NhlSetValues function is used
to modify the current values of any HLU object.
-
NhlGetValues
-
The NhlGetValues function is used to retrieve the current
values of any HLU object.
-
NhlDraw
-
The NhlDraw function is the way
to tell an object to produce its graphical output. Calling the
NhlDraw Function on a Workstation
object causes all of that Workstation object's children to
draw.
-
NhlDestroy
-
The NhlDestroy function is used to destroy any HLU object,
freeing all memory and system resources used by the object.
