Detailed Description

This is the base class for all classes of interaction nodekits. Currently, the only subclass is SoDragger, which reacts to click-drag-release events from the mouse.

This node has four fields corresponding to those of an SoSeparator: They are renderCaching , boundingBoxCaching , renderCulling , and pickCulling . They behave the same here as they do for an SoSeparator

The setPartAsPath() method provides support for creating "stand-in" objects for parts in the interaction kit. The "stand-in", or "surrogate" part, is a path to an object that lies somewhere else in the scene graph.

◆ setDefaultOnNonWritingFields()

virtual void SoInteractionKit::setDefaultOnNonWritingFields ( )
protectedvirtual

InteractionKits don't want to write fields if they have default vals.

Calls setDefault(TRUE) on caching fields if default and not connected.

Calls setDefault(TRUE) on the topSeparator. Calls setDefault(TRUE) on the geomSeparator.

Calls setDefault(TRUE) on any non-leaf part of type exactly == SoSwitch. Subclasses can override this if they like, since the function is virtual. But interactionKits use non-leaf switches to turn parts on and off, and this does not need to be written to file.

Lastly, calls same method on SoBaseKit.

NOTE: Parts which are set to default may still wind up writing to file if, for example, they lie on a path.

Reimplemented from SoBaseKit.

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

◆ setPartAsDefault() [2/2]

virtual bool SoInteractionKit::setPartAsDefault ( const SbName partName,
SoNode newNode,
bool  onlyIfAlready = TRUE 
)
virtual

Hence 'newNode' becomes the new default value, and the part only writes if [a] the part is set to a different node. [b] values are changes in the fields of newNode. [c] any child below newNode changes.

If the flag 'onlyIfAlready' is TRUE, then this will only change values of parts that are already in a default state.

Returns FALSE on failure, TRUE otherwise. First version sets the part to the given node. Second version looks up resourceName in the global dictionary and sets the part with the node found.

◆ setPartAsPath()

virtual bool SoInteractionKit::setPartAsPath ( const SbName partName,
SoPath surrogatePath 
)
virtual

The object at the end of the path serves as a stand-in when a pick occurs, and can thus initiate interaction.

Instead of the usual setPart(), which replaces partName with a new node, this will remove the node being used for partName from the scene and remember the surrogatePath you give it. Later, any pick on surrogatePath will be regarded as a pick on partName.

For example, set the XRotator part of an SoTrackballDragger to be the path to an object in the scene. The rest of the trackball will look the same, but the XRotator stripe will disappear. However, click the mouse on the object at the end of surrogatePath and the ball will start to drag in rotation around its X axis.

Note that this is different from setting the part to be the node at the end of the path. When you set the part as a node, a second instance will be drawn in the local space of the interaction kit. When you set it as a path, the object itself is used, not a copy.

The partName may be any part name that follows the nodekit syntax for parts, such as childList[0].shape or rotator.rotatorActive. (See the getPart() method in the SoBaseKit reference page for a complete description.)

If the part changes to a new node, then the fields of the old part will be disconnected and the fields of the new part will be connected. Connections are made from/to the renderCaching, boundingBoxCaching, renderCulling and pickCulling fields. This way, the SoInteractionKit can be treated from the outside just like a regular SoSeparator node. Setting the fields will affect caching and culling, even though the topSeparator takes care of it. oldTopSep keeps track of the part for comparison.
