GetSymLoc

Description

Procedure GetSymLoc returns the insertion point of the referenced symbol or plug-in object.

PROCEDURE GetSymLoc(
				symHd     : HANDLE;
				VAR pX,pY : REAL);
def vs.GetSymLoc(symHd):
    return p

Parameters

Name Type Description
symHd HANDLE Handle to placed symbol.
p REAL Returns insertion point of symbol

Remarks

You can use this function to retrieve the position of a PlugIn Object, from within the PlugIn Object itself. However, it will only display its position relative to the internal origin. Gerard Jonkers, 2007/01/08: See also my [http://www.vectorlab.info/index.php?title=Absolute_Origin Absolute_Origin] article about origins on the VectorLab.

Examples

Example, code for the PIO:

Procedure HereAmI;
VAR
hParm, hParmRecord, hWall : HANDLE;
PIOName, txtStr: STRING;
x, y : REAL;
BEGIN
IF GetCustomObjectInfo(PIOName, hParm, hParmRecord, hWall) THEN
BEGIN
GetSymLoc(hParm, x, y);
txtStr:= Concat(x, ' / ', y);
Locus(0, 0);
TextOrigin(0, 0);
BeginText;
txtStr
EndText;
END;
END;
Run (HereAmI);

Python

def HereAmI():
	hasObj, PIOName, hParm, hParmRecord, hWall = vs.GetCustomObjectInfo()
	if hasObj:
		ptXY = vs.GetSymLoc(hParm)
		txtStr = vs.Concat(ptXY[0], ' / ', ptXY[1])
		vs.Locus(0, 0)
		vs.TextOrigin(0, 0)
		vs.BeginText()
		txtStr
		vs.EndText()
HereAmI()
BEGIN
IF GetCustomObjectInfo(gParmN,gParmH,gRecH,gWallH) THEN BEGIN
	GetContainerInfo(gParmH,gContainerH,container_tp,LS);
	SetParameterVisibility(gParmH,'LineLength',FALSE);
	GetSymLoc(gParmH,pt1.x,pt1.y);
	IF (container_tp = 11) {I'm in a group}
		THEN temp_b := GetPickObjectInfo(pt1.x,pt1.y,gGroupH,gLine,temp_i)
		ELSE BEGIN
			zoomF := GetZoom;

BEGIN
	GetSymLoc(gPluginH, pilaster_pt.x, pilaster_pt.y);
	objType := GetType(gWallHand);

BEGIN
	result := SetCustomObjectPath (ObjectHand, poly_h);
	polyClass := GetClass(poly_h);
	SetClass(ObjectHand, polyClass);
	GetSymLoc(ObjectHand, pt.x, pt.y);
	cen_pt := cen_pt - pt;
	SetRField(objectHand, kSeatingObjectName, 'ControlPoint01X', Num2Str(3, cen_pt.x));
	SetRField(objectHand, kSeatingObjectName, 'ControlPoint01Y', Num2Str(3, cen_pt.y));
	hCenter(poly_h, pt.x, pt.y);
import vs

# Procedure GetSymLoc returns the insertion point of the referenced symbol or
# plug-in object.
symHd = vs.FSActLayer()  # handle to the first selected object on the active layer

result = vs.GetSymLoc(symHd)
