The CGALObject

This page refers to the CGALObject class found in the CGALDotNet namespace.

The CGALObject acts as a base object for CGALDotNet and contains a number of utility functions.

This is the managed object that contains a C# pointer to the unmanaged CGAL object and is responsible for releasing any allocated memory using the dispose pattern.

This object can be disposed manually if required like so.

var poly = new Polygon2<EEK>();

poly.Dispose();

if(poly.IsDisposed())
{
    //polygon is disposed
}

Once the object is disposed its pointer memory is cleared and if the object is used again a exception will be thrown.

A Print function is also provided as a means to print to the console any relevant information about the object.

// print some information about the object.
polygon.Print();
