Class IloShape

Instances of IloShape are generic objects describing shapes associated with resource constraints on continuous reservoirs.

The concept of Shape offers fine control over the production and consumption of a resource constraint on a continuous reservoir. When no shape is activated, the usual behaviour of a resource constraint is to consume or produce at a constant rate, given by the capacity and the duration of the activity. When created, an IloVariableSlopeShape can turn this constant rate into a Solver variable, suitable for decision and search.

This member function returns IloTrue if the invoking handle relates to an active shape.

This member function returns IloTrue if the invoking handle relates to an instance of IloVariableSlopeShape. In this case, the handle can be safely down-cast into a IloVariableSlopeShape handle, using the corresponding copy-constructor.
