CoClasses that implement IGraphicSnapEnvironment

CoClasses and Classes Description
GraphicSnapEnvironment Collection of Snap Agents used to snap a graphic point.
PageLayout Page Layout class contains maps and map surrounds.

Remarks

Use the IGraphicSnapEnvironment interface to manage the snap agents of the Pagelayout.

Methods are provided to count, add, delete and clear (delete all) the snap agents. This interface also provides access to the SnapTolerance.

Graphics are snapped into place by calling SnapShape. SnapShape in turn calls IGraphicSnap::SnapX and IGraphicSnap::SnapY on each active snap agent (in the order specified by IGraphicSnapEnvironment::SnapAgentOrder) until one of the snap agents returns True. SnapX and SnapY are separate calls because some agents, such as guides, may only act in one direction.
