<P><STRONG>Function</STRONG>
<P>
Creates
the standard components
"box" and "neighbors" that other modules
expect a Field to contain.
<P><STRONG>Syntax</STRONG>
<BR>
<TT><STRONG><BR>
#include <dx/dx.h><BR>
<P><BR>
Object DXEndObject(Object o)<BR>
</STRONG></TT><BR>
<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
<TT><STRONG>DXEndObject</STRONG></TT> provides a higher-level interface to the
Field-completion processing provided by <TT><STRONG>DXEndField</STRONG></TT>,
since it will traverse a variety of Object
classes to access embedded Fields.
In addition,
<TT><STRONG>DXEndObject</STRONG></TT> detects if the Fields contained as
subObjects of
<TT><STRONG>
o
</STRONG></TT>
share components, and if so, share the newly created "box"
and/or "neighbors" components between Fields containing the
shared components. Finally,
<TT><STRONG>DXEndObject</STRONG></TT> processes the Fields that are subObjects
of
<TT><STRONG>
o
</STRONG></TT>
in parallel on architectures supporting parallelism.
<P>
Thus, unless the Object to be completed is simply a single Field,
<TT><STRONG>DXEndObject</STRONG></TT> provides a more flexible, faster, and
potentially more space-efficient processing stage than
<TT><STRONG>DXEndField</STRONG></TT>.
<P><STRONG>Return Value</STRONG>
<P>
Returns <TT><STRONG>o</STRONG></TT> or returns <TT><STRONG>NULL</STRONG></TT>
and sets an error code.
