Detailed Description

Field to encapsulate a pointer to an SoNode instance of OpenInventor.

It is used to define an interface to inputs or outputs of OpenInventor modules or to define an ML output of an OpenInventor object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SoNodeField() [1/2]

ml::SoNodeField::SoNodeField ( )

Implements the runtime type system interface for this class.

Default constructor, do not use it.

◆ SoNodeField() [2/2]

ml::SoNodeField::SoNodeField ( const std::string &  name)

Constructor, creates a field with a name to manage a SoNode pointer.

Default value is NULL.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getSoNodeValue()

SoNode* ml::SoNodeField::getSoNodeValue ( ) const

Returns the value of the field.

◆ getStringValue()

std::string ml::SoNodeField::getStringValue ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the value of the field as string value.

setStringValue must be able to reinterpret this returned string correctly.

Implements ml::Field.

◆ getValue()

SoNode* ml::SoNodeField::getValue ( ) const
inline

Same as getSoNodeValue().

Definition at line 1358 of file mlFields.h.

◆ setSoNodeValue()

void ml::SoNodeField::setSoNodeValue ( SoNode *  soNodeValue)

Sets value of the field to soNodeValue.

◆ setStringValue()

void ml::SoNodeField::setStringValue ( const std::string &  stringValue)
overridevirtual

Sets field value from string to stringValue. On non-successful string parsing, a NULL pointer is set.

Implements ml::Field.

◆ setValue()

void ml::SoNodeField::setValue ( SoNode *  soNodeValue)
inline

Same as setSoNodeValue().

Definition at line 1355 of file mlFields.h.

◆ setValueFromField()

void ml::SoNodeField::setValueFromField ( const Field field)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplementation from Field which copies the field value more efficiently.

Reimplemented from ml::Field.
