Detailed Description

The SoLineHighlightRenderAction class renders selections with line highlighting.

See the documentation of SoBoxHighlightRenderAction.

The only difference between SoBoxHighlightRenderAction and this action is that this action renders highlights by superposing a wireframe image onto each shape instead of the bounding box when drawing the highlight.

Note: an important limitation for this rendering action is that the superimposition of a wireframe is only guaranteed to work correctly for filled shapes, due to a limitation in OpenGL's glPolygonOffset() functionality. For more information, see the class documentation of the SoPolygonOffset node.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoLineHighlightRenderAction::SoLineHighlightRenderAction (void)

Default constructor. Note: passes a default SbViewportRegion to the parent constructor.

SoLineHighlightRenderAction::SoLineHighlightRenderAction (const SbViewportRegion &viewportregion)

Constructor, taking an explicit viewportregion to render.

SoLineHighlightRenderAction::~SoLineHighlightRenderAction (void) [virtual]

The destructor.

Member Function Documentation

SoType SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]

Returns the type identification of an action derived from a class inheriting SoAction. This is used for run-time type checking and 'downward' casting.

Usage example: 

  void bar(SoAction * action)
  {
    if (action->getTypeId() == SoGLRenderAction::getClassTypeId()) {
      // safe downward cast, know the type
      SoGLRenderAction * glrender = (SoGLRenderAction *)action;
    }
    return; // ignore if not renderaction
  }

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new actions: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through Inventor/nodes/SoSubAction.h: SO_ACTION_SOURCE, SO_ACTION_INIT_CLASS and SO_ACTION_CONSTRUCTOR.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the SoAction class documentation.

Returns the actual type id of an object derived from a class inheriting SoAction. Needs to be overridden in all subclasses.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

SoType SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getClassTypeId (void) [static]

Returns the run-time type object associated with instances of this class.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::addMethod (const SoTypetype, SoActionMethodmethod) [static]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::enableElement (const SoTypetype, const intstackindex) [static]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

const SoEnabledElementsList & SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getEnabledElements (void) const [protected], [virtual]

Returns a list of the elements used by action instances of this class upon traversal operations.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

SoEnabledElementsList * SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getClassEnabledElements (void) [static], [protected]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

This method not available in the original OIV API, see SoSubAction.h for explanation.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

SoActionMethodList * SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getClassActionMethods (void) [static], [protected]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

This method not available in the original OIV API, see SoSubAction.h for explanation.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::initClass (void) [static]

Initializes the run-time type system for this class, and sets up the enabled elements and action method list.

Reimplemented from SoGLRenderAction.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::apply (SoNode *root) [virtual]

Applies the action to the scene graph rooted at root.

Note that you should not apply an action to a node with a zero reference count. The behavior in that case is undefined.

Reimplemented from SoAction.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::apply (SoPath *path) [virtual]

Applies the action to the parts of the graph defined by path.

Note that an SoPath will also contain all nodes that may influence e.g. geometry nodes in the path. So for instance applying an SoGLRenderAction on an SoPath will render that path as expected in the view, where geometry will get its materials, textures, and other appearance settings correctly.

If the path ends in an SoGroup node, the action will also traverse the tail node's children.

Reimplemented from SoAction.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::apply (const SoPathList &pathlist, SbBoolobeysrules = FALSE) [virtual]

Applies action to the graphs defined by pathlist. If obeysrules is set to TRUE, pathlist must obey the following four conditions (which is the case for path lists returned from search actions for non-group nodes and path lists returned from picking actions):

All paths must start at the same head node. All paths must be sorted in traversal order. The paths must be unique. No path can continue through the end point of another path.

SoAction::apply(SoPath * path)

Reimplemented from SoAction.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::setVisible (const SbBoolvisible)

Sets if highlight wireframes should be visible when rendering. Defaults to TRUE.

SbBool SoLineHighlightRenderAction::isVisible (void) const

Return if selection wireframes should be visible.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::setColor (const SbColor &color)

Sets the color of the wireframes. Defaults to red.

const SbColor & SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getColor (void)

Returns color of selection wireframes.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::setLinePattern (uint16_tpattern)

Sets the line pattern used when drawing wireframes. Defaults to 0xffff (i.e. full, unstippled lines).

uint16_t SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getLinePattern (void) const

Returns line pattern used when drawing wireframe.

void SoLineHighlightRenderAction::setLineWidth (const floatwidth)

Sets the line width used when drawing wireframe. Defaults to 3 (measured in screen pixels).

float SoLineHighlightRenderAction::getLineWidth (void) const

Returns the line width used when drawing wireframe.

Member Data Documentation

SoLineHighlightRenderAction::hlVisible [protected]

Boolean which decides whether or not the highlights for selected nodes should be visible.
