class SoQtRenderAreaP
The SoQtRenderArea class adds scenegraph handling and event management.
The SoQtRenderArea class is a component that adds scenegraph management and input device event handling to the SoQtGLWidget component.
The class has many convenient methods for controlling aspects of the rendering, like for instance transparency, aliasing and for scheduling of redraws.
Native toolkit events are caught by SoQtRenderArea components, translated to Coin SoEvent instances and passed on to the scenegraph, in case the user is doing interactive operations on for instance Coin geometry draggers.
SoQtRenderArea is the first non-abstract component in it's inheritance hierarchy that you can use directly from client application code to set up a scenegraph viewer canvas.
For an SoQtRenderArea component to properly display your scenegraph, it must contain an SoCamera-derived node and at least one SoLight-derived lightsource node.
Here's a complete, stand-alone example on how to set up an SoQtRenderArea with a scenegraph:
#include <Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h> #include <Inventor/Qt/SoQtRenderArea.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoCube.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoRotor.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoArray.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoDirectionalLight.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoPerspectiveCamera.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoSeparator.h> // Set up a simple scenegraph, just for demonstration purposes. static SoSeparator * get_scene_graph(void) { SoSeparator * root = new SoSeparator; SoGroup * group = new SoGroup; SoRotor * rotor = new SoRotor; rotor->rotation = SbRotation(SbVec3f(0.2, 0.5, 0.9), M_PI/4.0); group->addChild(rotor); SoCube * cube = new SoCube; group->addChild(cube); SoArray * array = new SoArray; array->origin = SoArray::CENTER; array->addChild(group); array->numElements1 = 2; array->numElements2 = 2; array->separation1 = SbVec3f(4, 0, 0); array->separation2 = SbVec3f(0, 4, 0); root->addChild(array); return root; } int main(int argc, char ** argv) { QWidget * window = SoQt::init(argv[0]); SoSeparator * root = new SoSeparator; root->ref(); SoPerspectiveCamera * camera; root->addChild(camera = new SoPerspectiveCamera); root->addChild(new SoDirectionalLight); SoSeparator * userroot = get_scene_graph(); root->addChild(userroot); SoQtRenderArea * renderarea = new SoQtRenderArea(window); camera->viewAll(userroot, renderarea->getViewportRegion()); renderarea->setSceneGraph(root); renderarea->setBackgroundColor(SbColor(0.0f, 0.2f, 0.3f)); if (argc > 1) { renderarea->setTitle(argv[1]); renderarea->setIconTitle(argv[1]); } renderarea->show(); SoQt::show(window); SoQt::mainLoop(); delete renderarea; root->unref(); return 0; }

Reimplemented in SoQtViewer.
This method sets the scene graph to render for the overlay bitmap planes.
It will automatically take care of setting up overplay planes in the OpenGL canvas if the OpenGL hardware and driver supports it.
Important note: not all graphics hardware and / or drivers for graphics hardware support overlay planes, so application programmers are adviced to find some other way of accomplishing what they want to do before resorting to using overlay planes. Using overlay planes will in practice severely limit the portability of applications which depend on them being available.

The smoothing flag signifies whether or not line and point aliasing should be turned on. See documentation of SoGLRenderAction::setSmoothing(), which will be called from this function.
numPasses gives the number of re-renderings to do of the scene, blending together the results from slight 'jitters' of the camera view, into the OpenGL accumulation buffer. For further information, see documentation of SoGLRenderAction::setNumPasses() and SoQtGLWidget::setAccumulationBuffer().

This method returns the antialiasing used for the scene.
This method sets whether the render buffer should be cleared before rendering.
The first argument specifies whether or not to clear out the pixels in the buffer, the second argument specifies whether or not the z-buffer values should be cleared between renderings.
Setting the first argument to FALSE can for instance be used when you want to clear out the buffer yourself, for instance by drawing a background image 'under' the 3D scene rendered by Coin / Inventor.

This method sets the normal scene SoSceneManager object.
The previous set scene manager is deleted, and there is no way to currently avoid that. This might change in the future.
References SoQtGLWidget::getGLSize().
This method returns the normal scene SoSceneManager object.
Having a reference to the SoSceneManager instance is useful for getting at the real root node of the rendering scenegraph, including camera, headlight and miscellaneous drawstyle nodes. The getSceneGraph() method will only return the user scenegrah for SoQtRenderArea subclass SoQtViewer and further subclasses. The reason this is not always what you want is because certain actions (like the SoRayPickAction) needs to traverse a valid camera if it should work as expected.
If you need to get a pointer to the real root node use this method to get the SoSceneManager instance reference used by the SoQtRenderArea, then use SoSceneManager::getSceneGraph() to get the root node Coin uses for rendering.

This method is called from the render() method and takes care of setting up the context for OpenGL rendering (by making the OpenGL canvas the current context and specifying either the front or back buffer for rendering, depending on whether we're in singlebuffer or doublebuffer mode).
After setting up the OpenGL context, it calls actualRedraw() for the actual scenegraph rendering to take place.
Finally, the OpenGL buffers are either swapped back-to-front (for doublebuffering) or flushed (for singlebuffering), and our OpenGL context is unlocked.
The application programmer may override this method if extreme low-level control of the rendering process is necessary. Usually, you should be able to get away with overriding actualRedraw() for special cases, though.

This method instantly redraws the normal (non-overlay) scenegraph by calling SoSceneManager::render().
Subclasses may override this method to add their own rendering before or after Coin renders it's scenegraph.

Toolkit-native events are attempted converted to Coin-generic events in the SoQtRenderArea::processEvent() method. If this succeeds, they are forwarded to this method.
This is a virtual method, and is overridden in it's subclasses to catch events of particular interest to the viewer classes, for instance.
Return TRUE iff the event was processed. If not it should be passed on further up in the inheritance hierarchy by the caller. This last point is extremely important to take note of if you are expanding the toolkit with your own viewer class.
This method is not part of the original SGI InventorXt API. Note that you can still override the toolkit-native processEvent() method instead of this 'generic' method.

This method is then invoked to notify the component that the size has changed. It is called from the top and all the way down to the bottom, the size being adjusted to take into account extra decorations having been added at each level in the component class hierarchy.
