All the methods in this section draw graphics in the Creo+ current window and use the color and linestyle set by calling pfcBaseSession.SetStdColorFromRGB() and pfcBaseSession.SetLineStyle(). The methods draw the graphics in the Creo+ graphics color. The default graphics color is white.

The methods in this section are called using the classpfcDisplay. This class is extended by the pfcBaseSession class . With this architecture you can call all these methods on any pfcSession object.

Methods Introduced:

The method pfcDisplay.SetPenPosition() sets the point at which you want to start drawing a line. The method pfcDisplay.DrawLine() draws a line to the given point from the position given in the last call to either of the two functions. Call pfcDisplay.SetPenPosition() for the start of the polyline, and pfcDisplay.DrawLine() for each vertex. If you use these methods in two-dimensional modes, use screen coordinates instead of solid coordinates.

The method pfcDisplay.DrawCircle() uses solid coordinates for the center of the circle and the radius value. The circle will be placed to the XY plane of the model.

The method pfcDisplay.DrawPolyline() also draws polylines, using an array to define the polyline.

In two-dimensional models the Display Graphics methods draw graphics at the specified screen coordinates.

The method pfcDisplay.DrawPolygon2D() draws a polygon in screen coordinates. The method pfcDisplay.DrawArc2D() draws an arc in screen coordinates.
