Detailed Description

The SoAntiSquish class is used to reset to uniform scaling.

When traversed, this node replaces the scale vector of the matrix with uniform values, based on one of the SoAntiSquish::Sizing strategies.

This node is for instance used by manipulators to retain the shape of their dragger geometries when set up within the influence of an SoSurroundScale node (which can yield nonuniform scale-vectors in the current state transformation matrix).

See also:
SoSurroundScale for a usage example.


Member Enumeration Documentation

enum SoAntiSquish::Sizing
 

Different strategies for "unsquishing" a scale. Values are used by the SoAntiSquish::sizing field.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoAntiSquish::SoAntiSquish void   ) 
 

Constructor.

SoAntiSquish::~SoAntiSquish  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

void SoAntiSquish::initClass void   )  [static]
 

Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.

Reimplemented from SoTransformation.

void SoAntiSquish::recalc void   ) 
 

If SoAntiSquish::recalcAlways has been set to FALSE, you must call this method whenever the transformations before this node in the graph has changed.

See also:
SoAntiSquish::recalcAlways

void SoAntiSquish::doAction SoAction action  )  [virtual]
 

Accumulates an "unsquishing" matrix on top of the current model matrix.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoAntiSquish::callback SoCallbackAction action  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoAntiSquish::GLRender SoGLRenderAction action  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or who wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL overrides this method.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoAntiSquish::getBoundingBox SoGetBoundingBoxAction action  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.

Calculates bounding box and center coordinates for node and modifies the values of the action to encompass the bounding box for this node and to shift the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculates their bounding box also overrides this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoAntiSquish::getMatrix SoGetMatrixAction action  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Action method for SoGetMatrixAction.

Updates action by accumulating with the transformation matrix of this node (if any).

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoAntiSquish::pick SoPickAction action  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

SbMatrix SoAntiSquish::getUnsquishingMatrix const SbMatrix squishedmatrix,
const SbBool  calcinverse,
SbMatrix getinverse
[protected]
 

Calculate and return the matrix needed to "unsquish" the squishedmatrix.

If calcinverse is TRUE, store the inverse of the unsquishmatrix in getinverse.


Member Data Documentation

SoSFEnum SoAntiSquish::sizing
 

The current "unsquish" strategy. Default value is SoAntiSquish::AVERAGE_DIMENSION.

SoSFBool SoAntiSquish::recalcAlways
 

Whether to automatically have the unsquishing parameters recalculated for every traversal. Default value is TRUE.

You can set this to FALSE and manually invoke SoAntiSquish::recalc() if you need closer control of the geometry influenced by this node.
