public sealed class RectangularCloud : CloudBase

The RectangularCloud type exposes the following members.

Constructors
  NameDescription
Public methodRectangularCloud(ViewBase, Point, Point)
Creates a new rectangle cloud instance with two points using standard attributes. Please note that creating a rectangular cloud using two points will re-calculate the start point to correspond with positive widths and heights.
Public methodRectangularCloud(ViewBase, Point, Double, Double)
Creates a new RectangularCloud instance with the start point and the defined width and height using standard attributes.
Public methodRectangularCloud(ViewBase, Point, Point, RectangularCloudRectangularCloudAttributes)
Creates a new rectangle cloud instance with two points using the given attributes. Please note that creating a rectangular cloud using two points will re-calculate the start point to correspond with positive widths and heights.
Public methodRectangularCloud(ViewBase, Point, Double, Double, RectangularCloudRectangularCloudAttributes)
Creates a new rectangular cloud instance with the start point and the defined width and height using the given attributes.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyAngle
The angle of the rectangular cloud. The rectangular cloud rotates around its start point.
Public propertyArcWidth
The arc width to use for the cloud base.
The property usage follows the below legacy cloud creation rules.
In case of positive value then that value will be used.
In case of zero value then the positive value of the XS_ARC_WIDTH_OF_CLOUD advance option is used
and in case that also the advance option value is 0 then the default legacy 10 value is used.
In case of negative value the value is transformed and its positive value is used.
(Inherited from CloudBase.)
Public propertyAttributes
The attributes for the rectangular cloud.
Public propertyBulge
The bulge (curve) to use (a bulge is the ratio between the height and width of an object).
(Inherited from CloudBase.)
Public propertyEndPoint
The end point of the rectangular cloud.
Public propertyHeight
The height of the rectangular cloud. Changing the height changes the end point with the height.
Public propertyHideable
Accesses the information if this object is hidden or not or if it should be.
(Inherited from GraphicObject.)
Public propertyQueryReturnValue
Status information about the latest database operation (select, insert, modify, delete).
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
Public propertyStartPoint
The start point of the rectangular cloud. Changing this will move the rectangular cloud.
Public propertyWidth
The width of the rectangular cloud. Changing the width changes the end point with the width.
