Purpose

This module allows to execute command actions provided in an OpenInventor scene graph.

Usage

Enter the name of an command action in the Execute field and finish editing to execute the first action that has this name. One could also (probably more easily) touch the field from scripting.

Details

Command actions belong (together with pointing actions) to managed interaction nodes, which provide an alternative, higher-level interaction concept than pure input events.

You can use the module SoInteractionInfo to query the interactions provided by a scene graph (don’t forget to press the Update button).
