CImageView:new

CImageView:new

The new method creates an instance of the CImageView class. This method returns to the caller a reference to the object it creates. The calling code must assign this reference to a name.

Syntax

Object = CImageView:new()

On success, this method returns a reference to the new CImageView object.
If the object cannot be created, nil is returned.

Remarks

There are 2 additional ways to create a new CImageView without using this method:

Use the Attach method to create a new CImageView attached to the top-most Image Window.
Use the AttachFromList method to create a new CImageView by selecting from a list of all open Image Windows.

Note: This method's name uses all lower case to present it as the analog of the C++ new operator. Generally, the names of class methods begin with an uppercase letter but new and delete are different.

Example

V = CImageView:new()	-- create a new instance of V of the CImageView class.
...	-- other uses of the class go here, between new and delete.
V:delete()	-- deletes the object and its associated memory.
