CharacterisedSurfaceCollection

A collection of characterised surface media.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Create some characterised surfaces

characterisedSurface1 = project.Definitions.Media.CharacterisedSurface:AddCharacterisedSurface("dummyFile")
characterisedSurface2 = project.Definitions.Media.CharacterisedSurface:AddCharacterisedSurface("path\to\file")

Inheritance

The CharacterisedSurfaceCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The CharacterisedSurfaceCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Count
The number of CharacterisedSurface items in the collection. (Read only number)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

AddCharacterisedSurface (properties table)
Create a characterised surface medium from a table defining the properties. (Returns a CharacterisedSurface object.)
AddCharacterisedSurface (filename string)
Create a characterised surface medium. (Returns a CharacterisedSurface object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
DeleteEntities ( List of Object)
Delete the given list of entities from the collection.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Item (index number)
Returns the CharacterisedSurface for the given index in the collection. (Returns a CharacterisedSurface object.)
Item (label string)
Returns the CharacterisedSurface for the given label in the collection. (Returns a CharacterisedSurface object.)
Items ()
Returns a table of CharacterisedSurface items. (Returns a UnsupportedType(List of CharacterisedSurface) object.)
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
