Allocate a 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object.

Syntax

AIL_ID M3dgeoAlloc(
    AIL_ID    SysId,                      //in
    AIL_INT64 ObjectType,                 //in

    AIL_ID *  GeometryOrMatrix3dgeoIdPtr  //out
)

Description

This function allocates a 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object on the specified system.

Note that 3D geometry objects or transformation matrix objects allocated with M3dgeoAlloc can be saved using either M3dgeoStream or M3dgeoSave and restored using M3dgeoRestore.

When the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object is no longer required, release it usingM3dgeoFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during allocation; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object's lifetime and you must not manually free it.

Parameters

SysId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the system on which to allocate the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object.

For specifying the system identifier

Value	Description
M_DEFAULT_HOST	Specifies the default Host system of the current Aurora Imaging Library application.
System identifier	Specifies a valid system identifier, previously allocated using MsysAlloc.

ObjectType (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies to allocate a 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object. This parameter must be set to one of the following:

For specifying the object type

Value	Description
M_GEOMETRY	Allocates a 3D geometry object on the specified system.
M_TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX	Allocates a transformation matrix object on the specified system.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

GeometryOrMatrix3dgeoIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object identifier or specifies the data type that the function should use to return the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object identifier.

For retrieving the identifier or specifying how to return it

Value	Description
M_NULL	Specifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object; in this case, a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier of type AIL_ID is returned.
M_UNIQUE_ID	Specifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object; in this case, an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier of type _AIL_UNIQUE_3DGEO_ID_is returned instead of a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier.This setting is only available when using C++11 (or later).An Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier manages the lifespan of the Aurora Imaging Library object it owns (similar to a std::unique_ptr). Note, you can use an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier as though it were a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier, except that you cannot use it to manually free the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object (it is freed automatically). For more information, see Aurora Imaging Library smart identifiers.
Address in which to write the 3D geometry object identifier	Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated 3D geometry object identifier.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the transformation matrix object identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated transformation matrix object identifier.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. |

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_3DGEO_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
