Detailed Description

The SoDragger class is the base class for all draggers.

Draggers is a mechanism used for letting the end-users of your application code interact with elements in 3D, by scaling, rotating or translating geometry or other instances in the scene (like cameras or lightsources).

For a very thorough introduction and tutorial to the dragger classes and general concepts, we advise you to consult «The Inventor Mentor», ISBN 0-201-62495-8, chapter 15.

This is the common superclass for all dragger classes.

It holds the current motion matrix, and offers lots of convenience methods to build from for it's subclasses -- that is, the non-abstract dragger classes to use as nodes in your scenegraph.

The motion matrix is used to modify the model matrix during traversal, and this is a common dragger mechanism -- all draggers should update this during dragging.

A number of the Coin dragger classes have built-in convenience wrapper classes, called manipulators. See for instance the SoTrackballDragger / SoTrackballManip pair.

The matching manipulator class for any dragger class has basically two convenient additions to the functionality of the stand-alone dragger: 1) it makes swapping the dragger in and out of the scenegraph very straightforward (something which is often done for draggers in 3D user interfaces), 2) it wraps up the dragger with SoSurroundScale and SoAntiSquish nodes where applicable, so the dragger geometry automatically scales up or down to match the geometry it influences.

This last functionality can also be duplicated in a rather straightforward manner outside of the context of a manipulator, as can be seen from the usage example in the SoSurroundScale class documentation.

The appearance of draggers can be modified by either using the SoDragger::setPart() method (see usage example below) or by setting up external Inventor-format files which the geometry parts are read from. The latter method can be done by setting the environment variable SO_DRAGGER_DIR to point to a directory with replacement geometry files. The name of the new files and the name of the nodes / sub-graphs with the replacement geometries must follow a rigid scheme. We advise you to look at the Coin sourcecode directory Coin/data/draggerDefaults/ to see how the replacement geometry files should be named. Setting SO_DRAGGER_DIR to this directory and modifying the files there provides a convenient way to play around with new dragger geometry arrangements.

As mentioned above, SoDragger::setPart() can be used to modify the appearance of a dragger by changing it's default geometry. One common technique is for instance to take advantage of this to use only parts of a dragger, by replacing / disabling the geometry that you don't want the end-user to interact with. The following code example shows how to remove the translation functionality of the SoTransformBoxDragger:

#include <Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h>
#include <Inventor/Qt/viewers/SoQtExaminerViewer.h>
#include <Inventor/draggers/SoTransformBoxDragger.h>
#include <Inventor/nodes/SoSeparator.h>


int
main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
  QWidget * window = SoQt::init(argv[0]);

  SoTransformBoxDragger * dragger = new SoTransformBoxDragger;

  SbString str;
  for (int i = 1; i <= 6; i++) {
    str.sprintf("translator%d.translator", i);
    dragger->setPart(str.getString(), new SoSeparator);
  }

  SoQtExaminerViewer * viewer = new SoQtExaminerViewer(window);
  viewer->setSceneGraph(dragger);
  viewer->show();
  SoQt::show(window);

  SoQt::mainLoop();

  delete viewer;
  return 0;
}

Draggers are also node kits, and below is the catalog structure for this top-level dragger class.

Node kit structure (new entries versus parent class marked with arrow prefix):

CLASS SoDragger
-->"this"
      "callbackList"
      "topSeparator"
-->      "motionMatrix"
         "geomSeparator"

(See SoBaseKit::printDiagram() for information about the output formatting.)

Detailed information on catalog parts:

CLASS SoDragger
PVT   "this",  SoDragger  ---
      "callbackList",  SoNodeKitListPart [ SoCallback, SoEventCallback ]
PVT   "topSeparator",  SoSeparator  ---
PVT   "motionMatrix",  SoMatrixTransform  ---
PVT   "geomSeparator",  SoSeparator  ---

(See SoBaseKit::printTable() for information about the output formatting.)

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum \fBSoDragger::ProjectorFrontSetting\fP

Holds various settings for projectors, which might affect cylindrical and spherical based draggers. Specifies whether dragging should be based on the front or back of the sphere / cylinder, or if the picked point should be used to decide this.

Enumerator

FRONT

Always use front of projector.

BACK

Always use back of projector.

USE_PICK

Use picked point to decide front or back of projector.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoDragger::SoDragger (void)\fC [protected]\fP

A protected constructor for this abstract superclass for all Coin draggers.

SoDragger::~SoDragger (void)\fC [protected]\fP, \fC [virtual]\fP

Virtual protected destructor.

Member Function Documentation

\fBSoType\fP SoDragger::getTypeId (void) const\fC [virtual]\fP

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.

void SoDragger::setCameraInfo (\fBSoAction\fP *action)\fC [protected]\fP

Store data about the current camera in the given action.

void SoDragger::handleEvent (\fBSoHandleEventAction\fP *action)\fC [protected]\fP, \fC [virtual]\fP

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 SoBaseKit.

void SoDragger::transferMotion (\fBSoDragger\fP *child)\fC [protected]\fP

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

void SoDragger::setIgnoreInBbox (SbBoolval)\fC [protected]\fP

Sets whether dragger geometry should be ignored when calculating bbox.

SbBool SoDragger::isIgnoreInBbox (void)\fC [protected]\fP

Returns whether dragger geometry should be ignored when calculating bbox.

void SoDragger::getBoundingBox (\fBSoGetBoundingBoxAction\fP *action)\fC [protected]\fP, \fC [virtual]\fP

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 SoBaseKit.

Reimplemented in SoCenterballDragger.

void SoDragger::setActiveChildDragger (\fBSoDragger\fP *childdragger)\fC [protected]\fP

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

\fBSoDragger\fP * SoDragger::getActiveChildDragger (void) const\fC [protected]\fP

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

void SoDragger::setDefaultOnNonWritingFields (void)\fC [protected]\fP, \fC [virtual]\fP

(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 SoInteractionKit.

Reimplemented in SoTransformerDragger, SoHandleBoxDragger, SoDragPointDragger, SoTransformBoxDragger, SoTrackballDragger, SoCenterballDragger, SoTabPlaneDragger, SoTabBoxDragger, SoSpotLightDragger, SoDirectionalLightDragger, SoJackDragger, and SoPointLightDragger.

void SoDragger::childTransferMotionAndValueChangedCB (void *data, \fBSoDragger\fP *child)\fC [static]\fP, \fC [protected]\fP

void SoDragger::childOtherEventCB (void *data, \fBSoDragger\fP *child)\fC [static]\fP, \fC [protected]\fP

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

void SoDragger::updateDraggerCache (const \fBSoPath\fP *path)\fC [protected]\fP

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

Member Data Documentation

\fBSoSFBool\fP SoDragger::isActive

Is TRUE whenever the user is interacting with the dragger. For compound draggers (draggers consisting of one or more subdraggers), the isActive field is updated only for the active subdragger, not for the compound dragger.
