Detailed Description

SoSelection defines a node which can be inserted into a scene graph and will generate and manage a selection list from picks on any node in the subgraph below it. Nodes are selected based on a current selection policy. Callback functions report back to the application when a path has been selected or deselected. The selection list can also be managed programmatically.

When handling events, SoSelection makes sure that the mouse release event was over the same object as the mouse press event before changing the list of selected objects. This allows users to mouse down on an object, change their mind and move the cursor off the object, then release the mouse button without altering the selection.

The selection can be highlighted automatically through the SoQtRenderArea, or the application can provide custom highlights. Please see the chapter "Creating a Selection Highlight Style" in the Inventor Toolmaker.

◆ Policy

Selection policy

Enumerator
SINGLE 

left mouse pick on object clears selection, then selects object.

left mouse pick on nothing clears selection. only one object may be selected at a time.

TOGGLE 

left mouse pick on object toggles its selection status.

left mouse pick on nothing does nothing. multiple objects may be selected.

SHIFT 

when shift key is down, selection policy is TOGGLE.

when shift key is up, selection policy is SINGLE. multiple objects may be selected.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addChangeCallback()

void SoSelection::addChangeCallback ( SoSelectionClassCB f,
void *  userData = NULL 
)

Used by the render area to redraw for selection highlighting.

◆ addDeselectionCallback()

void SoSelection::addDeselectionCallback ( SoSelectionPathCB f,
void *  userData = NULL 
)

This is invoked after the object has been removed from the selection list.

◆ addFinishCallback()

void SoSelection::addFinishCallback ( SoSelectionClassCB f,
void *  userData = NULL 
)

This was preceded by an invocation of each start callback, and invocations of the select and/or deselect callbacks. The finish callbacks are not called when the selection list is changed programmatically.

◆ addPath()

void SoSelection::addPath ( SoPath path)
protected

◆ addSelectionCallback()

void SoSelection::addSelectionCallback ( SoSelectionPathCB f,
void *  userData = NULL 
)

The callbacks are invoked after the object has been added to the selection list.

◆ addStartCallback()

void SoSelection::addStartCallback ( SoSelectionClassCB f,
void *  userData = NULL 
)

This will be followed by invocations of the select and/or deselect callbacks, finally followed by each finish callback. A start callback can be used, for instance, to save the current selection for later restoration (e.g. undo/redo). The start callbacks are not called when the selection list is changed programmatically.

◆ copyFromThis()

SoPath * SoSelection::copyFromThis ( const SoPath path) const

Returns NULL if 'this' not found in the passed path.

◆ deselect() [1/3]

◆ select() [1/2]

void SoSelection::select ( const SoPath path)

The selection node must lie in the path. The path is copied and truncated such that the selection node is the head of the path. If the selection node does not lie in the path, the selection list remains unchanged. This method ignores the current selection policy.

◆ select() [2/2]

void SoSelection::select ( SoNode node)

If there is more than one instance of node beneath the selection node, the created path will be the first instance found.

◆ setPickFilterCallback()

void SoSelection::setPickFilterCallback ( SoSelectionPickCB f,
void *  userData = NULL,
bool  callOnlyIfSelectable = TRUE 
)

The callback function returns the path that the selection node should use when selecting and deselecting. If no pick callback is registered (the default), the selection node will use the path returned by SoPickedPoint::getPath() on the picked point associated with the event being processed. The returned path should not be ref'd - selection will ref() and unref() it. (See SoPath::unrefNoDelete().)

Note that a picked object may or may not be a child of the selection node. A selection node will only select paths that pass through it. Possible return values from the callback:

[a] NULL em selection behaves as if nothing was picked (i.e. for SINGLE and SHIFT policies, this clears the selection list). Handle event action traversal halts.

[b] Path em this path will be selected/deselected according to the selection policy (it must lie under the selection node). Handle event action traversal halts.

[c] Path containing only the selection node em apply the selection policy as if nothing was picked. Handle event action traversal continues.

[d] Path not passing through the selection node em selection ignores this pick event and no change is made to the selection list. Handle event action traversal continues.

A simple way to tell selection to ignore the pick is to return an SoPath with no nodes in it. (i.e. return new SoPath;) Selection will always ref the path returned by the callback, make a copy of the path, then unref the path.

The callOnlyIfSelectable argument, when set to TRUE, means the pick callback function will only be invoked on picks which pass through the selection node. When FALSE, all picks will be passed to the callback whether they pass through the selection or not.

◆ setPickMatching()

void SoSelection::setPickMatching ( bool  pickTwice)
inline

This allows the user to pick down on an object, change their mind and drag off the object, release the mouse button and not affect the selection. Pass TRUE to enable this behavior. Pass FALSE to disable this, meaning whatever is picked on a mouse release is added to/removed from the selection list. Default is pick-matching on.

◆ toggle() [1/2]

void SoSelection::toggle ( const SoPath path)

◆ toggle() [2/2]

void SoSelection::toggle ( SoNode node)

If there is more than one instance of node beneath the selection node, the created path will be the first instance found.
