CImCombine:new

The new method constructs a new instance of a CImCombine object. Two different constructor overloads are available to create a new CImCombine and initialize the properties.

Syntax

C = CImCombine:new()

C = CImCombine:new( CImCombine2 )

where

The first form creates a default CImCombine object with properties initialized to default values.

CImCombine2 is an existing CImCombine object whose properties are copied to the new object.

C is the new CImCombine object. On failure, nil is returned.

Two overloads are provided for the CImCombine class. They create a default CImCombine and a copy of a CImCombine. If you pass something other than nil or another CImCombine—such as a string—then the default constructor is used.

Example

The following script illustrates using the 2 constructors. All produce the same result:

C1 = CImCombine:new()	-- create CImCombine C1 and initialize
C1:SetVerbose(true)	-- enable verbose listing of results
C2 = CImCombine:new( C1 )	-- copy C1 to a new CImCombine C2
Printf("C1 verbose = %d",C1.bVerbose)	-- result: C1 sign = 1
Printf("C2 verbose = %d",C2.bVerbose)	-- result: C2 sign = 1
