Purpose

The module SoView2DExtensionSeparator enables Extension Grouping.

It groups its child extensions and manages event consumption and drawing order for them. That way, a group of extensions can be treated like one extension and the implementation of more complicated event consumption strategies is possible.

Details

There are two possible locations for SoView2DExtensionSeparator modules:

• To the left of a SoView2D: this SoView2D will be called parent SoView2D

• As child of another SoView2DExtensionSeparator: this SoView2DExtensionSeparator will be called parent Separator

There is always a SoView2D that triggers the drawing of an extension, otherwise the extension would do nothing. This SoView2D will be referred to as calling SoView2D.

The module fills its own extension list for drawing and event evaluation (find out more about extension lists).

The SoView2DExtensionSeparator is contained in the extension list of its parent SoView2D or separator, but all children of the SoView2DExtensionSeparator are invisible to the parent (SoView2D or Separator), e.g., they are not in the parent’s extension list. Their drawing and event evaluation methods will only be triggered by the SoView2DExtensionSeparator.

Visible Fields

Draw children

name: drawingOn, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, children will be rendered.

see also SoView2DExtension.drawingOn

Set event handled flag

name: setEventHandled, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the events handled by the subgraph will be flagged as being handled.

see also SoView2DExtension.setEventHandled

Ignore handled events

name: ignoreHandledEvents, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, events that are flagged as being handled are ignored by the subgraph.

see also SoView2DExtension.ignoreHandledEvents

Drawing order

name: drawingOrder, type: Enum, default: NORMAL_ORDER

Defines the drawing order that is used if the drawing order of the parent is not used.

Values:

Title	Name	Description
​Normal Order	​NORMAL_ORDER	​Left to right.
​Reversed Order	​REVERSED_ORDER	​Right to left.
​Soview2d Order	​SOVIEW2D_ORDER	​Same order as the calling SoView2D.
​Parent Normal Order	​PARENT_NORMAL_ORDER	​If there is a parent SoView2DExtensionSeparator, then use its Drawing Order, else render from left to right.
​Parent Reversed Order	​PARENT_REVERSED_ORDER	​If there is a parent SoView2DExtensionSeparator, then use its Drawing Order, else render from right to left.
​Parent Soview2d Order	​PARENT_SOVIEW2D_ORDER	​If there is a parent SoView2DExtensionSeparator, then use its Drawing Order, else render in the same order as the calling SoView2D.

Forward events to children

name: forwardEvents, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, incoming events are forwarded to child extensions.

Mark handled events as unhandled before forwarding

name: markAsUnhandled, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, events flagged as being handled are unflagged as again before they are passed to the children.
