A class that represents a point abstractly. This is useful with controls or panels that support multiple orientations. The rendering or layout code for the control or panel can be written using a single, "natural" orientation and then the point can be converted, if necessary, to the control's or panel's actual orientation as needed. This can substantially simplify rendering or layout logic.

Constructors

AbstractPoint(Orientation, Orientation)	Initializes a new instance of AbstractPoint.
AbstractPoint(Orientation, Orientation, Double, Double)	Initializes a new instance of AbstractPoint.
AbstractPoint(Orientation, Orientation, Point)	Initializes a new instance of AbstractPoint.

Properties

AbstractX	The abstract X of the point.
AbstractY	The abstract Y of the point.
ActualOrientation	The actual orientation of the geometric unit. This is typically determined by the value of the Orientation property of the control or panel in which this structure is used.
IsNatural	Indiates whether the size's actual orientation matches its natural orientation.
NaturalOrientation	The "natural" orientation of the geometric unit, from the perspective of the context in which it is used. For example, it may be most natural to write the layout code for a StackPanel using Vertical orientation since a stack in the real world is a vertical thing. The choice of natural orientation within a given context is not important, as long as the same natural orientation is used consistently throughout that context.
RealPoint	The real, non-abstract point represented by this structure. If IsNatural is true, the real point and the abstract point are the same. If IsNatural is false, the real point is the inverse of the abstract point.
RealX	The real, non-abstract X of the point. If IsNatural is true, the real X and the abstract X are the same. If IsNatural is false, the real X is the abstract Y.
RealY	The real, non-abstract Y of the point. If IsNatural is true, the real Y and the abstract Y are the same. If IsNatural is false, the real Y is the abstract X.

Methods

Invert(Point)	Returns a Point structure with the input's X and Y properties swapped.
ToString()	Creates a string representation of this abstract point
