Detailed Description

The SoClipPlaneManip class is used to manipulate clip planes.

A manipulator is used by replacing the node you want to edit in the graph with the manipulator. Draggers are used to manipulate the node. When manipulation is finished, the node is put back into the graph, replacing the manipulator.

This manipulator is an extension versus the original SGI Inventor v2.1 API. In addition to being a Coin extension, it is also present in TGS' Inventor implementation (with the same API).


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoClipPlaneManip::SoClipPlaneManip void   
 

An SoJackDragger is the default dragger used to manipulate SoClipPlane nodes.

SoClipPlaneManip::~SoClipPlaneManip   [protected]
 

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

void SoClipPlaneManip::initClass void    [static]
 

Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.

Reimplemented from SoClipPlane.

SoDragger * SoClipPlaneManip::getDragger void   
 

Returns pointer to dragger used for interaction.

void SoClipPlaneManip::setValue const SbBox3f   box,
const SbVec3f   planenormal,
float    draggerscalefactor
 

Sets the clip plane based on the center of box and normal. The size of box is used as a scale factor to the dragger, multiplied with draggerscalefactor.

SbBool SoClipPlaneManip::replaceNode SoPath   path
 

Replaces the node specified by path with this manipulator. The manipulator will copy the field data from the node, to make it affect the state in the same way as the node.

SbBool SoClipPlaneManip::replaceManip SoPath   path,
SoClipPlane   newone
const
 

Replaces this manipulator from the position specified by path with newnode. If newnode is NULL, an SoClipPlane will be created for you.

void SoClipPlaneManip::doAction SoAction   action [virtual]
 

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

Reimplemented from SoClipPlane.

void SoClipPlaneManip::callback SoCallbackAction   action [virtual]
 

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph.

Reimplemented from SoClipPlane.

void SoClipPlaneManip::GLRender SoGLRenderAction   action [virtual]
 

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or who wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL overrides this method.

Reimplemented from SoClipPlane.

void SoClipPlaneManip::getBoundingBox SoGetBoundingBoxAction   action [virtual]
 

Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.

Calculates bounding box and center coordinates for node and modifies the values of the action to encompass the bounding box for this node and to shift the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculates their bounding box also overrides this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoClipPlaneManip::getMatrix SoGetMatrixAction   action [virtual]
 

Action method for SoGetMatrixAction.

Updates action by accumulating with the transformation matrix of this node (if any).

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoClipPlaneManip::handleEvent SoHandleEventAction   action [virtual]
 

Action method for SoHandleEventAction.

Inspects the event data from action, and processes it if it is something which this node should react to.

Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how event handling is done also overrides this method.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoClipPlaneManip::pick SoPickAction   action [virtual]
 

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

Reimplemented from SoClipPlane.

void SoClipPlaneManip::search SoSearchAction   action [virtual]
 

Action method for SoSearchAction.

Compares the search criteria from the action to see if this node is a match. Searching is done by matching up all criteria set up in the SoSearchAction -- if any of the requested criteria is a miss, the search is not deemed successful for the node.

SoSearchAction

Reimplemented from SoNode.

SoChildList * SoClipPlaneManip::getChildren void    const [virtual]
 

Returns the children of this node.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoClipPlaneManip::setDragger SoDragger   newdragger [protected]
 

Sets a dragger to use for this manipulator. The default dragger is an SoJackDragger.

void SoClipPlaneManip::copyContents const SoFieldContainer   fromfc,
SbBool    copyconnections
[protected, virtual]
 

Makes a deep copy of all data of from into this instance, except external scenegraph references if copyconnections is FALSE.

This is the method that should be overridden by subclasses which needs to account for internal data that are not handled automatically.

Make sure that when you override the copyContents() method in your extension class that you also make it call upwards to it's parent superclass in the inheritance hierarchy, as copyContents() in for instance SoNode and SoFieldContainer does important work. It should go something like this:

  void
  MyCoinExtensionNode::copyContents(const SoFieldContainer * from,
                                    SbBool copyconnections)
  {
    // let parent superclasses do their thing (copy fields, copy
    // instance name, etc etc)
    SoNode::copyContents(from, copyconnections);

    // [..then copy internal data..]
  }

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoClipPlaneManip::valueChangedCB void *    m,
SoDragger   dragger
[static, protected]
 

For internal use only.

void SoClipPlaneManip::fieldSensorCB void *    m,
SoSensor   d
[static, protected]
 

For internal use only.

void SoClipPlaneManip::transferFieldValues const SoClipPlane   from,
SoClipPlane   to
[static, protected]
 

Copies field values from one clip plane node to another.
