SoLocateHighlight¶

InventorModule¶

genre	`InventorNodesAutomatic,InventorGroup`
author	`Silicon Graphics Inc`
package	`MeVisLab/Standard`
definition	inventor.def

Purpose¶

The node SoLocateHighlight is a subclass of SoSeparator that redraws itself in a different color when the cursor hovers over the contents of the separator.

The redraw occurs for that separator only, not the entire window (redraw along the handle event pick path), and is performed in the front buffer to efficiently track 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. Therefore, EMISSIVE_DIFFUSE must be applied for this node to have any effect.
