Resources

The Base class does not define any public resources.

Description

This object is the base of all other objects in the HLU library. It provides much of the functionality that is available for all other objects in the library.

Support functions

The following support functions are defined for objects of type Base:

NhlCreate: The NhlCreate function is used to create an instance of any HLU object.
NhlSetValues: The NhlSetValues function is used to modify the current values of any HLU object.
NhlGetValues: The NhlGetValues function is used to retrieve the current values of any HLU object.
NhlDraw: The NhlDraw function is the way to tell an object to produce its graphical output. Calling the Draw Function on a Workstation object causes all of that Workstation object's children to draw.
NhlDestroy: The NhlDestroy function is used to destroy any HLU object, freeing all memory and system resources used by the object.
