Member Function Documentation

  SoType SoShape::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]
This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

  SoType SoShape::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]
Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Implements SoBase.

Reimplemented in SoAsciiText, SoCone, SoCube, SoCylinder, SoFaceSet, SoImage, SoIndexedFaceSet, SoIndexedLineSet, SoIndexedMarkerSet, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoIndexedPointSet, SoIndexedShape, SoIndexedTriangleStripSet, SoLineSet, SoMarkerSet, SoNonIndexedShape, SoNurbsCurve, SoNurbsSurface, SoPointSet, SoQuadMesh, SoSphere, SoText2, SoText3, SoTriangleStripSet, SoVertexShape, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLCone, SoVRMLCylinder, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoVRMLGeometry, SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet, SoVRMLIndexedLine, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoVRMLIndexedShape, SoVRMLPointSet, SoVRMLSphere, SoVRMLText, SoVRMLVertexLine, SoVRMLVertexPoint, and SoVRMLVertexShape.

  const SoFieldData ** SoShape::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.
 Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

  const SoFieldData * SoShape::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 SoFieldContainer.

Reimplemented in SoAsciiText, SoCone, SoCube, SoCylinder, SoFaceSet, SoImage, SoIndexedFaceSet, SoIndexedLineSet, SoIndexedMarkerSet, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoIndexedPointSet, SoIndexedShape, SoIndexedTriangleStripSet, SoLineSet, SoMarkerSet, SoNonIndexedShape, SoNurbsCurve, SoNurbsSurface, SoPointSet, SoQuadMesh, SoSphere, SoText2, SoText3, SoTriangleStripSet, SoVertexShape, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLCone, SoVRMLCylinder, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoVRMLGeometry, SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet, SoVRMLIndexedLine, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoVRMLIndexedShape, SoVRMLPointSet, SoVRMLSphere, SoVRMLText, SoVRMLVertexLine, SoVRMLVertexPoint, and SoVRMLVertexShape.

  SbBool SoShape::affectsState (void ) const [virtual]
Returns TRUE if the node could have any effect on the state during traversal.

If it returns FALSE, no data in the traversal state will change from the pre-traversal state to the post-traversal state. The SoSeparator node will for instance return FALSE, as it pushes and pops the state before and after traversal of its children. All SoShape nodes will also return FALSE, as just pushing out geometry data to the rendering engine won't affect the actual rendering state.

The default method returns TRUE, on a "better safe than sorry" philosophy.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

  void SoShape::notify (SoNotList * l) [virtual]
Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

Reimplemented in SoAsciiText, SoImage, SoIndexedLineSet, SoIndexedPointSet, SoText3, SoVertexShape, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoVRMLGeometry, SoVRMLIndexedLine, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoVRMLIndexedShape, SoVRMLText, SoVRMLVertexLine, SoVRMLVertexPoint, and SoVRMLVertexShape.

  void SoShape::getBoundingBox (SoGetBoundingBoxAction * action) [virtual]
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 calculate their bounding box also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

Reimplemented in SoIndexedLineSet, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoIndexedPointSet, SoLineSet, SoNurbsCurve, SoPointSet, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoVRMLPointSet, SoVRMLVertexLine, SoVRMLVertexPoint, and SoVRMLVertexShape.

  void SoShape::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual]
Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

  void SoShape::callback (SoCallbackAction * action) [virtual]
Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLVertexLine, SoVRMLVertexPoint, and SoVRMLVertexShape.

  virtual void SoShape::computeBBox (SoAction * action, SbBox3f & box, SbVec3f & center) [pure virtual]
Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let the SoShape superclass know the exact size and weighted center point of the shape's bounding box.

The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in the local coordinate system.

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::getBoundingBox().)

The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while center is undefined upon function entry.

Implemented in SoAsciiText, SoCone, SoCube, SoCylinder, SoFaceSet, SoImage, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoIndexedShape, SoLineSet, SoNurbsCurve, SoNurbsSurface, SoPointSet, SoQuadMesh, SoSphere, SoText2, SoText3, SoTriangleStripSet, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLCone, SoVRMLCylinder, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoVRMLIndexedLine, SoVRMLIndexedShape, SoVRMLSphere, SoVRMLText, and SoVRMLVertexPoint.

  void SoShape::getPrimitiveCount (SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * action) [virtual]
Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the action.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

Reimplemented in SoAsciiText, SoCone, SoCube, SoCylinder, SoFaceSet, SoImage, SoIndexedFaceSet, SoIndexedLineSet, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoIndexedPointSet, SoIndexedTriangleStripSet, SoLineSet, SoMarkerSet, SoNurbsCurve, SoNurbsSurface, SoPointSet, SoQuadMesh, SoSphere, SoText2, SoText3, SoTriangleStripSet, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLCone, SoVRMLCylinder, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoVRMLSphere, SoVRMLText, and SoVRMLVertexPoint.

  void SoShape::getScreenSize (SoState *const state, const SbBox3f & boundingbox, SbVec2s & rectsize) [static]
A convenience function that returns the size of a boundingbox projected onto the screen. Useful for SCREEN_SPACE complexity geometry.

  float SoShape::getDecimatedComplexity (SoState * state, float complexity) [static]
Not implemented in Coin. Should probably have been private in TGS Inventor API.

  const SoBoundingBoxCache * SoShape::getBoundingBoxCache (void ) const
Return the bounding box cache for this shape. It might return NULL if no bounding box cache has been created. If not NULL, the caller must check if the cache is valid before using it. This can be done using SoCache::isValid().

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since
    Coin 2.0

  float SoShape::getComplexityValue (SoAction * action) [protected]
Returns the complexity value to be used by subclasses. Considers complexity type. For OBJECT_SPACE complexity this will be a number between 0 and 1. For SCREEN_SPACE complexity it is a number from 0 and up.

  virtual void SoShape::generatePrimitives (SoAction * action) [protected], [pure virtual]
The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoCallbackAction. It is invoked from SoShape::callback(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::callback().)

The subclass implementations uses the convenience methods SoShape::beginShape(), SoShape::shapeVertex(), and SoShape::endShape(), with SoDetail instances, to pass the primitives making up the shape back to the caller.

Implemented in SoAsciiText, SoCone, SoCube, SoCylinder, SoFaceSet, SoImage, SoIndexedFaceSet, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoIndexedPointSet, SoIndexedTriangleStripSet, SoLineSet, SoNurbsCurve, SoNurbsSurface, SoPointSet, SoQuadMesh, SoSphere, SoText2, SoText3, SoTriangleStripSet, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLCone, SoVRMLCylinder, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoVRMLPointSet, SoVRMLSphere, and SoVRMLText.

  SoDetail * SoShape::createTriangleDetail (SoRayPickAction * action, const SoPrimitiveVertex * v1, const SoPrimitiveVertex * v2, const SoPrimitiveVertex * v3, SoPickedPoint * pp) [protected], [virtual]
Will create triangle detail for a SoPickedPoint. This method will only be called internally, when generatePrimitives() is used for picking (SoShape::rayPick() is not overridden).

This method returns NULL in Open Inventor, and subclasses will need to override this method to create details for a SoPickedPoint.

This is not necessary with Coin. Of course, if you choose to override it, it will work in the same way as Open Inventor.

For this to work, you must supply a face or line detail when generating primitives. If you supply NULL for the detail argument in SoShape::beginShape(), you'll have to override this method.

Reimplemented in SoAsciiText, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoNurbsSurface, SoText3, and SoVRMLExtrusion.

  SoDetail * SoShape::createLineSegmentDetail (SoRayPickAction * action, const SoPrimitiveVertex * v1, const SoPrimitiveVertex * v2, SoPickedPoint * pp) [protected], [virtual]

  void SoShape::invokeTriangleCallbacks (SoAction *const action, const SoPrimitiveVertex *const v1, const SoPrimitiveVertex *const v2, const SoPrimitiveVertex *const v3) [protected]
This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

  void SoShape::invokeLineSegmentCallbacks (SoAction *const action, const SoPrimitiveVertex *const v1, const SoPrimitiveVertex *const v2) [protected]

  void SoShape::invokePointCallbacks (SoAction *const action, const SoPrimitiveVertex *const v) [protected]
This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

  void SoShape::beginShape (SoAction *const action, const TriangleShape shapetype, SoDetail *const detail = NULL) [protected]
This method is used to generate primitives for a shape. It's typically called from a node's generatePrimitives() method. If you have your own shape and want to write a generatePrimitives() method for that shape, it's probably a good idea to take a peek in the generatePrimitives() method for a similar shape in Coin.

generatePrimitives() can contain several beginShape()/endShape() sequences. shapeVertex() is used for each vertex between beginShape() and endShape(). For instance, to generate primitives for a triangle you'd do something like this:

SoPrimitiveVertex vertex;
this->beginShape(action, SoShape::POLYGON);
vertex.setPoint(SbVec3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
this->shapeVertex(&vertex);
vertex.setPoint(SbVec3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
this->shapeVertex(&vertex);
vertex.setPoint(SbVec3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f));
this->shapeVertex(&vertex);
this->endShape();

Note that the SoPrimitiveVertex instance can simply be placed on the stack and not allocated. SoShape will copy the needed information when you call shapeVertex().

Before calling shapeVertex(), you can set extra information for the SoPrimitiveVertex, including normal, material index, and texture coordinates.

This method is slightly different from its counterpart from the original Open Inventor library, as this method has an SoDetail as the last argument, and not an SoFaceDetail. This is because we accept more TriangleShape types, and the detail might be a SoFaceDetail or a SoLineDetail. There is no use sending in a SoPointDetail, as nothing will be done with it.

  void SoShape::shapeVertex (const SoPrimitiveVertex *const v) [protected]
This method is used while generating primitives for a shape. See beginShape() for more details.
