diagLibrary (Variable type)

In french: diagBibliothèque

The diagLibrary type is used to define all the advanced characteristics of a library of preset shapes used by a Diagram Editor control. You can define and change the characteristics of this library using different WLanguage properties.

Note: For more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties, see Declaring a variable.

Example

sFile is string = fTempDir() + [ fSep ] + "custom_library.wddiag"

// Creates a library entirely programmatically
TempLibrary is Diagram

D1 is diagOval
D1.Width = 50
D1.Height = 50
D1.Background.Color = DarkRed
Add(TempLibrary.Shape, D1)

D2 is diagOval
D2.Width = 50
D2.Height = 70
D2.Background.Color = DarkGreen
Add(TempLibrary.Shape, D2)

// Use the shapes of the temporary diagram to create the library
// Saves the diagram to the disk
DiagramSave(TempLibrary, sFile)

// Load the diagram as a library
MyLibrary is diagLibrary
DiagramLoadLibrary(MyLibrary, sFile)
MyLibrary.Name = "Custom"

// Adds the library to the Diagram Editor control
Add(DIAGEDT_Diagram.Library, MyLibrary)

ToastDisplay("The custom library has been added to the list.")

MyDiagram is Diagram
// Populate a Looper control with all the shapes from all the libraries
FOR EACH Lib OF MyDiagram.Library
FOR EACH Shape OF Lib
imgShape is Image = DiagramShapeToImage(Shape)
LooperAddLine(LOOP_MyLooper, Lib.Name, imgShape, Shape.Name)
END
END
