Detailed Description

The SoTransformBoxDragger provides a box which can be translated, scaled and rotated.

Here's how the dragger looks with its default geometry in the inactive state:

  

Translate the dragger by clicking and dragging any of the (invisible) sides. Scaling is done by dragging the corner cubes. Only uniform scaling is supported. Rotation is done by dragging any of the 12 beams connecting the corner cubes.

This dragger consists of a rigid framework for doing all the usual interaction operations on scene geometry. The 'user interface' of the dragger is very simple, providing little room for the end-user to make mistakes.

For the application programmer's convenience, the Coin library also provides a manipulator class called SoTransformBoxManip, which wraps the SoTransformBoxDragger into the necessary mechanisms for making direct insertion of this dragger into a scenegraph possible with very little effort.

SoTransformBoxDragger::~SoTransformBoxDragger (void) [protected], [virtual]

Protected destructor.

(Dragger classes are derived from SoBase, so they are reference counted and automatically destroyed when their reference count goes to 0.)

Member Function Documentation

SoType SoTransformBoxDragger::getClassTypeId (void) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

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

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

Usage example:

  void foo(SoNode * node)
  {
    if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
      SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
    }
  }

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: 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 for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoFieldData ** SoTransformBoxDragger::getFieldDataPtr (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.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoFieldData * SoTransformBoxDragger::getFieldData (void) const [protected], [virtual]

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoNodekitCatalog * SoTransformBoxDragger::getClassNodekitCatalog (void) [static]

Returns the nodekit catalog which defines the layout of this class' kit.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoNodekitCatalog * SoTransformBoxDragger::getNodekitCatalog (void) const [virtual]

Returns the nodekit catalog which defines the layout of this class' kit.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoNodekitCatalog ** SoTransformBoxDragger::getClassNodekitCatalogPtr (void) [static], [protected]

Returns the pointer to the pointer of the nodekit catalog for this class.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

void SoTransformBoxDragger::initClass (void) [static]

Initializes type system for this dragger class.

Application programmers should usually not have to invoke this method, see documentation of SoInteraction::init().

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

SbBool SoTransformBoxDragger::setUpConnections (SbBoolonoff, SbBooldoitalways = FALSE) [protected], [virtual]

Sets up all internal connections for instances of this class.

(This method will usually not be of interest to the application programmer, unless you want to extend the library with new custom nodekits or dragger classes. If so, see the SoBaseKit class documentation.)

Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.

void SoTransformBoxDragger::setDefaultOnNonWritingFields (void) [protected], [virtual]

(Be aware that this method is unlikely to be of interest to the application programmer who does not want to extend the library with new custom nodekits or draggers. If you indeed are writing extensions, see the information in the SoBaseKit class documentation.)

This is a virtual method, and the code in it should call SoField::setDefault() with argument TRUE on part fields that should not be written upon scenegraph export operations.

This is typically done when:

1.

field value is NULL and part is NULL by default

2.

it is a leaf SoGroup or SoSeparator node with no children

3.

it is a leaf listpart with no children and an SoGroup or SoSeparator container

4.

it is a non-leaf part and it's of SoGroup type and all fields are at their default values

Subclasses should usually override this to do additional settings for new member fields. From the subclass, do remember to call 'upwards' to your superclass' setDefaultOnNonWritingFields() method.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

void SoTransformBoxDragger::invalidateSurroundScaleCB (void *f, SoDragger *d) [static], [protected]

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

void SoTransformBoxDragger::fieldSensorCB (void *d, SoSensor *s) [static], [protected]

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

Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.

void SoTransformBoxDragger::valueChangedCB (void *f, SoDragger *d) [static], [protected]

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