Utilities
result = cgOBJ_ISA( [object] [, classname])
The purpose of this utility routine is to check to be sure the object argument is valid and belongs to the specified object class. It is more useful than the built-in Obj_Isa function, because it can handle undefined variable arguments.
Return value
The function returns a 0 to indicate FALSE or a 1 to indicate TRUE. If passed an array of objects, it will return an array of 0s and 1s for each object.
Parameters
- object in optional type=object
The object reference to check. It may be undefined. This variable may also be an array.
- classname in optional type=string
The object class name. If undefined, the function always returns false.
Examples
Here is how to use this program:
IDL> IF cgObj_ISA(object, 'cgKML_Feature') THEN object -> SetProperty, PLACENAME='Boulder'
