KLayout Manual: Main Index » Class Index » API reference - Class ObserverAPI reference - Class ObserverNotation used in Ruby API documentation Description: This class implements an event handler for use with 'observer' interfaces Class hierarchy: Observer » ObserverBase Some classes provide callbacks by attaching 'observer' objects to certain events. Specific actions can be implemented by reimplementing the 'signal...' methods of this class. Public constructors
Public methods
Detailed description[const] void assign(const Observer other)Description: Assign the contents of another object to self This method assigns the contents of another object to self. This is a deep copy that does not only copy the reference but the actual content. void createDescription: Ensures the C++ object is created Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created. void destroyDescription: Explicitly destroy the object Explicitly destroy the object on C++ side if it was owned by the Ruby interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by Ruby, this method will do nothing. [const] bool destroyed?Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself. [const] Observer dupDescription: Creates a copy of self [const] bool is_const_object?Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self. [static] Observer newDescription: Creates a new object of this class [virtual] void signalDescription: This method is called when the event without value is issued [virtual] void signal_int(int value)Description: This method is called when an event associated with an integer is issued |
