    Inheritance utilities used in DojoX Drawing

  • description

    Inheritance utilities used in DojoX Drawing.
    There were designed in a effort to make Drawing as
    fast as possible - especially in a case where thousands
    of objects are being loaded. Drawing declare performs
    about 3 times faster than Dojo declare and 2 times
    faster than Dojox declare. This is not to say Drawing
    declare is wthout limitations. It doesn't have the same
    syntatic sugar and extensibility of the other two. You
    can't inhert methods. It won't work with Dijit. But it
    is simple and effective.

  • type

    Object

• dojox.drawing.util.oo.declare

  • returns

    Function

  • summary

    Creates a constructor Function from a
    Function, and collection of methods, and
    more Functions that are extended.

  • description

    Similar in look and feel to Dojo declare as
    far as order and number of arguments, although
    constructed a little closer to prototypical
    inheritance. All arguments passed into the
    constructor are passed into all sub constructors.
    arguments:
    Function, [Object|Function....]
    The first argument is always the base
    constructor. The last argument is always
    an object of methods (or empty object) to
    be mixed in (in the future would like to
    make that object optional). Remaining
    arguments are other constructors mixed in
    using extend() (See below).

  • example

    	MyFunction = dojox.drawing.util.oo.declare(
    		MyOtherFunction,
    		YetAnotherFunction,
    		function(options){
    			// This is my constructor. It will fire last.
    			// The other constructors will fire before this.
    		},
    		{
    			customType:"equation", // mixed in property
    			doThing: function(){   // mixed in method
    
    			}
    		}
    	);
    
    	var f = new MyFunction();

  • type

    Function

• dojox.drawing.util.oo.extend

  • returns

    Function

  • summary

    Extends constructors to inherit from other
    constructors .

  • description

    Typically not used by itself - it's used as
    part of declare(). Could be used by itself
    however, to mix together two or more
    constructors.
    arguments:
    Function, [ Function...]
    Any number of arguments, all must be
    function constructors. The first is
    considered the base object and its
    constructor will fire first.

  • example

    	var A = function(){};
    	var B = function(){};
    	var C = function(){};
    	var D = dojox.drawing.util.oo.extend(A, B, C);
    	var e = new D();
