Detailed Description

The SoSpotLightDragger class provides interactive geometry for manipulating a spotlight.

Here's how the dragger looks with it's default geometry in the inactive state:

spotlight.png

This dragger is well suited for setting up the fields of a SoSpotLight node, as it provides geometry for the end-user to interact with a directional vector for the spotlight, to set up it's position and to control the cut-off angle for the "lampshade" around the lightsource.

Note that there is one aspect of SoSpotLight nodes that can not be controlled with this dragger: the SoSpotLight::dropOffRate field.

The Coin library includes a manipulator class, SoSpotLightManip, which wraps the functionality provided by this class inside the necessary mechanisms for connecting it to SoSpotLight node instances in a scenegraph.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoSpotLightDragger::SoSpotLightDragger void   ) 
 

Default constructor, sets up the dragger nodekit catalog with the interaction and feedback geometry.

Node kit structure (new entries versus parent class marked with arrow prefix):

CLASS SoSpotLightDragger -->"this" "callbackList" "topSeparator" "motionMatrix" --> "material" --> "translatorSep" --> "translatorRotInv" --> "translator" --> "rotator" --> "beamSep" --> "beamPlacement" --> "beamScale" --> "beamSwitch" --> "beam" --> "beamActive" "geomSeparator"

(See SoBaseKit::printDiagram() for information about the output formatting.)

Detailed information on catalog parts:

CLASS SoSpotLightDragger PVT "this", SoSpotLightDragger --- "callbackList", SoNodeKitListPart [ SoCallback, SoEventCallback ] PVT "topSeparator", SoSeparator --- PVT "motionMatrix", SoMatrixTransform --- "material", SoMaterial --- PVT "translatorSep", SoSeparator --- PVT "translatorRotInv", SoRotation --- "translator", SoDragPointDragger --- "rotator", SoRotateSphericalDragger --- PVT "beamSep", SoSeparator --- "beamPlacement", SoTranslation --- "beamScale", SoScale --- PVT "beamSwitch", SoSwitch --- "beam", SoSeparator --- "beamActive", SoSeparator --- PVT "geomSeparator", SoSeparator ---

(See SoBaseKit::printTable() for information about the output formatting.)

SoSpotLightDragger::~SoSpotLightDragger  )  [protected]
 

Protected destructor.

(Dragger classes are derived from SoBase, so they are reference counted and automatically destroyed when their reference count goes to 0.)


Member Function Documentation

void SoSpotLightDragger::initClass void   )  [static]
 

Initializes type system for this dragger class.

Application programmers should usually not have to invoke this method, see documentation of SoInteraction::init().

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

SbBool SoSpotLightDragger::setUpConnections SbBool  onoff,
SbBool  doitalways = FALSE
[protected, virtual]
 

Sets up all internal connections for instances of this class.

(This method will usually not be of interest to the application programmer, unless you want to extend the library with new custom nodekits or dragger classes. If so, see the SoBaseKit class documentation.)

Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.

void SoSpotLightDragger::setDefaultOnNonWritingFields void   )  [protected, virtual]
 

(Be aware that this method is unlikely to be of interest to the application programmer who does not want to extend the library with new custom nodekits or draggers. If you indeed are writing extensions, see the information in the SoBaseKit class documentation.)

A virtual method that should call SoField::setDefault() with argument TRUE on part fields that should not be written upon scenegraph export operations.

This is typically done when:

  1. field value is NULL and part is NULL by default

  2. it is a leaf SoGroup or SoSeparator node with no children

  3. it is a leaf listpart with no children and a SoGroup or SoSeparator container

  4. it is a non-leaf part and it's of SoGroup type and all fields are at their default values

Subclasses should usually override this to do additional settings for new member fields. From the subclass, do remember to call "upwards" to your superclass' setDefaultOnNonWritingFields() method.

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Called when mouse button is released after picking and interacting with the dragger.

Scales the geometry representing the "lampshade" around the lightsource to represent the given beamangle.


Member Data Documentation

SoSFRotation SoSpotLightDragger::rotation
 

This field is continuously updated to contain the rotation of the current direction vector. The application programmer will typically connect this to the rotation field of a SoSpotLight node (unless using the SoSpotLightManip class, where this is taken care of automatically).

It may also of course be connected to any other rotation field controlling the direction of scenegraph geometry, it does not have to part of a SoSpotLight node specifically.

SoSFVec3f SoSpotLightDragger::translation
 

Continuously updated to contain the current translation from the dragger's local origo position.

SoSFFloat SoSpotLightDragger::angle
 

The cut-off angle for the "lampshade" around the lightsource.

Typically connected to a SoSpotLight::cutOffAngle field.

SoFieldSensor * SoSpotLightDragger::rotFieldSensor [protected]

SoFieldSensor * SoSpotLightDragger::translFieldSensor [protected]
