Public methodCode exampleCommitChanges
Moves changes made to this RhinoObject into the RhinoDoc.
Protected methodConstructConstObject
Assigns a parent object and a sub-object index to this.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodCopyHistoryOnReplace
Gets the setting of the CopyOnReplace field in this object's history
Public methodCreateMeshes

Public methodCustomRenderMeshesBoundingBox

Public methodDescription
Get a brief description of a object, including it's attributes and geometry.
Public methodDispose
Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Protected methodDispose(Boolean)
For derived class implementers.

This method is called with argument true when class user calls Dispose(), while with argument false when the Garbage Collector invokes the finalizer, or Finalize() method.

You must reclaim all used unmanaged resources in both cases, and can use this chance to call Dispose on disposable fields if the argument is true.

Also, you must call the base virtual method within your overriding method.

(Inherited from CommonObject.)

(Inherited from CommonObject.)
