Detailed Description

The SoBoxHighlightRenderAction class renders the scene with highlighted boxes around selections.

This action performs the same tasks as its parent class, SoGLRenderAction, with the added ability to render highlighted bounding boxes around geometry in selected nodes. This is a simple but convenient way of giving feedback to the user upon interaction with the scene graph.

To have the highlighting actually happen (and to be able to automatically "select" nodes by picking with the mouse cursor), you need to use SoSelection nodes in place of group nodes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::SoBoxHighlightRenderAction ( void   ) 

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

SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::SoBoxHighlightRenderAction ( const SbViewportRegion viewportregion  ) 

Constructor, taking an explicit viewportregion to render.

SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::~SoBoxHighlightRenderAction ( void   )  [virtual]

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

void SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::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 SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::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.

References SoNode::getClassTypeId(), SbPList::getLength(), SoSelection::getList(), SoSelection::getNumSelected(), SoPath::getTail(), SoBase::getTypeId(), hlVisible, and SoType::isDerivedFrom().

Referenced by apply().

void SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::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.

References apply().

void SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::apply ( const SoPathList pathlist,
SbBool  obeysrules = 0 
) [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.

References apply().

void SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::setVisible ( const SbBool  visible  ) 

Sets if highlighted boxes should be visible when rendering. Defaults to TRUE.

References hlVisible.

SbBool SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::isVisible ( void   )  const

Return if highlighted boxes are to be visible.

References hlVisible.

void SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::setColor ( const SbColor color  ) 

Sets the color for the highlighted boxes. Defaults to completely red.

const SbColor & SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::getColor ( void   ) 

Returns rendering color of the highlighted boxes.

void SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::setLinePattern ( unsigned short  pattern  ) 

Sets the line pattern used for the highlighted boxes. Defaults to 0xffff (i.e. drawn with no stipples).

unsigned short SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::getLinePattern ( void   )  const

Returns line pattern used when drawing boxes.

void SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::setLineWidth ( const float  width  ) 

Sets the line width used when drawing boxes, in screen pixels (as for all OpenGL rendering). Defaults to 3.

float SoBoxHighlightRenderAction::getLineWidth ( void   )  const

Returns the line width used when drawing highlight boxes.
