 <a id="details" name="details"></a>## Detailed Description

Interface for part/plot objects for DVS Reader API.

This object's lifetime is controlled by the query it is returned from. If the filter or uri of the query is changed this object will be destroyed. If this is a chained query and any of the parent queries are modified this object will also be destroyed. See [dvs\_query\_interface.h](dvs__query__interface_8h.xhtml "DVS Reader API Query Interface.") for more information.
