SoLocateHighlight¶

InventorModule¶

genre	`InventorNodesAutomatic,InventorGroup`
author	`Silicon Graphics Inc`
package	`MeVisLab/Standard`
definition	inventor.def

Purpose¶

This is a subclass of SoSeparator that redraws itself in a different color when the cursor is over the contents of the separator.

The redraw happens for that separator only and not the entire window (redraw along the handle event pick path) and in the front buffer, to efficiently track the mouse motion. The highlighted redraw overrides the emissive and/or diffuse color of the subgraph based on the field values in this node.

NOTE: when using SoLightModel::BASE_COLOR (to turn lighting off) only the diffuse color will be used to render objects, so EMISSIVE_DIFFUSE must be used for this node to have any effect.
