Detailed Description

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.

File Format/Default

LocateHighlight {
  renderCaching AUTO
  boundingBoxCaching AUTO
  renderCulling AUTO
  pickCulling AUTO
  mode AUTO
  style EMISSIVE
  color 0.300000011920929 0.300000011920929 0.300000011920929
}

Action Behavior

SoHandleEventAction
Checks to see if the cursor moves onto or off of the contents of the separator, and redraws appropriately (if mode is AUTO), otherwise traverses as a normal separator.

SoGLRenderAction
Redraws either highlighted (if cursor is over the contents of the separator when mode == AUTO or always if mode == ON), otherwise traverses as a normal separator.

GLRenderBelowPath()

virtual void SoLocateHighlight::GLRenderBelowPath ( SoGLRenderAction *  action )

Reimplemented from SoSeparator.

virtual void SoLocateHighlight::GLRenderInPath ( SoGLRenderAction *  action )

virtual

Reimplemented from SoSeparator.

handleEvent()

virtual void SoLocateHighlight::handleEvent ( SoHandleEventAction *  action )

The GLRender methods are redefined to draw highlighted if needed.

Reimplemented from SoSeparator.

Reimplemented in SoWWWAnchor.

initClass()

static void SoLocateHighlight::initClass ( )

static

redrawHighlighted()

virtual void SoLocateHighlight::redrawHighlighted ( SoAction *  act, bool  flag  )

protectedvirtual

It can be used by subclasses to be told when the status change.

Reimplemented in SoWWWAnchor.

turnOffCurrentHighlight()

static void SoLocateHighlight::turnOffCurrentHighlight ( SoGLRenderAction *  action )

static

this should be called when the cursor leaves a window or a mode changes happen which would prevent a highlighted node from receiving more mouse motion events. The GL render action used to render into that window needs to be passed to correctly un-highlight.
