Description
Figure is the primary data type that represents figures. A list of figures is represented by the type Figures.
Figures can be classified as follows:
- Atomic Figures: indivisible figures such as text and outline.
- Containers: most figures may act as containers for other figures. For example, a box and ellipse may contain an arbitrarily complex subfigure.
- Compositions: serve to combine figures into new figures. Examples are horizontal (hcat) or vertical (vcat) concatenation or placement of figures in a grid, graph or tree.
- Transformations: perform geometric transformations on a given figure.
- Interaction: provide interaction with the user, see computeFigure, fswitch, button, textfield, combo, checkbox, scaleSlider,scrollable, hscrollable and vscrollable.
Pitfalls We are cheating a bit with the above data declaration for Figure.
The current version of Rascal does not yet support data constructors with a variable number of arguments as needed
for the properties. At the moment, the above constructors are provided as Rascal functions that can
have variable arguments, see Function.
