The following are my code samples:

The Graphical Classes in which public variables are set by users at runtime. The two classes Geometry and FallingLines

C#

public class Geometry
    {
        private int width;
        private int height;

        public int repetation = 6;
        public bool IsOffset = true;
        public GeometricalShapes shape = GeometricalShapes.Circle;

        private List<Rectangle> rectangle;
        private int offSetTimes = 3;

        public Geometry(int width, int height)
        {
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;
        }

        public GraphicsPath[] Draw()
        {
            //implementation
        }
        
        private int[] GetIncBoxSize(int repetation)
        {
            //implementation
        }

        private GraphicsPath GetPath(int x, int y, int wt, int ht)
        {
            //implementation
        }
    }

C#

public class FallingLines
    {
        public int width;
        public int height;
        
        public bool IsTop = true;
        public bool IsBtm = false;
        public bool IsOffset = true;

        public int repetation = 10;

        public LineType lineType = LineType.Irregular;
        
        public FallingLines(int width, int height)
        {
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;            
        }

        public GraphicsPath[] Draw()
        {
            // implementation
        }

        private Rectangle[] GetRectangle(int randomOffset)
        {
            // implementation
        }

        private GraphicsPath GetPath(int x, int y, int width, int height)
        {
            // implementation
        }

        private Point[] GetPoints(int count)
        {
            // implementation
        }

        private Point[] DrawWave(Point top, Point btm, int cntWave)
        {
            // implementation
        }

        private GraphicsPath DrawIrregularity(Point[] points, int width)
        {
            // implementation
        }

        private Point[] GetRandomPointInLine(Point[] points, int curveCnt)
        {
            // implementation
        }

        private Point[] DrawIrregularWave(Point top, Point btm, int width)
        {
            // implementation
        }
    }

I will be making controls for the user so that they can manipulate.
So, i want something that can interact back and forth.

I want my MyForm to send info to these classes and vice versa. later after a Button Press i want the Draw() to return the graphicsPath[] to my mainForm.

How do i do these...

Okay.... what makes you think that you need an abstract class in this case?

//should this be an abstract class which interact with Graphical Classes below....

Yes ,as per one possibility

Solution 1

Your GraphicsClass classes have to implement an Interface. Since all classes have one property and one method in common, I'd suggest

C#

public Interface IGraphics
{
   bool a { get; set; }
   GraphicsPath Draw();
}

I do not sse any need for your "interactor" class.

The above was just a sample. In my graphics class, I have public properties, public draw() and other private function and properties...

Since you have seen above all the public properties of different graphics classes donot match. So, i was wondering how to call all these classes easily through one central parent class. Is "interface" still applicable there...

and how do i make these classes accessible to my MainForm. I donot want to write a silly code where i manually do each process of code for all the graphics class. Could you help me with some examples on this one.
