Mark shape as hidden during aggregation cycle. Prevents source shape rendering.
// C# public void HideShape( OleVariant _uid );
' VisualBasic Public Sub HideShape( ByVal _uid As OleVariant )
// Oxygene public procedure HideShape( _uid : OleVariant );
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| _uid | OleVariant | Unique identifier (UID) of shape to hide. Matches shape UID from layer. |
PURPOSE:Hide source shapes during aggregation. When creating aggregated shape from multiple sources, hide originals to avoid double-rendering.
BEHAVIOR:Records UID as hidden (internal tracking). Layer skips rendering shapes with hidden UIDs. Called during Prepare(). Hiding cleared after draw cycle (clearContext).
USAGE:Hide sources:aggregator.HideShape(shape1.UID); aggregator.HideShape(shape2.UID); { don't draw originals }
CONSTRAINTS:Must call during Prepare(). UID must be valid. Hidden state cleared after draw (per-cycle).
