Class KindNameUtil

Namespace

Hi.Common

Assembly

HiGeom.dll

The kind name of an object as the wire, the XML files and the UI know it. The value-type geometry mirrors carry the C++ typedef names (tri3d_t, dvec3d_t, box2d_t, vec3d_t, vec2d_t) while their kind names stay the historical Tri3d, DVec3d, Box2d, Vec3d, Vec2d — the geometry-kind strings of the web API, the Type tag of a presentation DTO and the XML element names are contracts, the C# type name is not. Every other type answers its own name; the box geometry kind is the class Box3d, whose name is its kind name, and the value box3d_t is not a kind.
