Detailed Description

The SoVRMLInline class is used to insert VRML files into a scene.

The detailed class documentation is taken verbatim from the VRML97 standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997). It is copyright The Web3D Consortium, and is used by permission of the Consortium:.

  Inline {
    exposedField MFString url        []
    field        SFVec3f  bboxCenter 0 0 0     # (-,)
    field        SFVec3f  bboxSize   -1 -1 -1  # (0,) or -1,-1,-1
  }
  

The Inline node is a grouping node that reads its children data from a location in the World Wide Web. Exactly when its children are read and displayed is not defined (e.g. reading the children may be delayed until the Inline node's bounding box is visible to the viewer). The url field specifies the URL containing the children. An Inline node with an empty URL does nothing.

Each specified URL shall refer to a valid VRML file that contains a list of children nodes, prototypes, and routes at the top level as described in 4.6.5, Grouping and children nodes.

The results are undefined if the URL refers to a file that is not VRML or if the VRML file contains non-children nodes at the top level.

If multiple URLs are specified, the browser may display a URL of a lower preference VRML file while it is obtaining, or if it is unable to obtain, the higher preference VRML file. Details on the url field and preference order can be found in 4.5, VRML and the World Wide Web (<http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-IS-VRML97WithAmendment1/part1/concepts.html#4.5>).

The results are undefined if the contents of the URL change after it has been loaded.

The bboxCenter and bboxSize fields specify a bounding box that encloses the Inline node's children. This is a hint that may be used for optimization purposes. The results are undefined if the specified bounding box is smaller than the actual bounding box of the children at any time. A default bboxSize value, (-1, -1, -1), implies that the bounding box is not specified and if needed shall be calculated by the browser. A description of the bboxCenter and bboxSize fields is in 4.6.4, Bounding boxes (<http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-IS-VRML97WithAmendment1/part1/concepts.html#4.6.4>).

Constructor


Member Function Documentation

SoType SoVRMLInline::getClassTypeId void   )  [static]
 

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

SoType SoVRMLInline::getTypeId void   )  const [virtual]
 

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for run-time type checking and "downward" casting.

Usage example:

  void foo(SoNode * node)
  {
    if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
      SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
    }
    else if (node->getTypeId().isOfType(SoGroup::getClassTypeId())) {
      SoGroup * group = (SoGroup *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
    }
  }

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

Implements SoBase.

const SoFieldData ** SoVRMLInline::getFieldDataPtr void   )  [static, protected]
 

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

Reimplemented from SoNode.

const SoFieldData * SoVRMLInline::getFieldData void   )  const [protected, virtual]
 

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

void SoVRMLInline::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 SoNode.

void SoVRMLInline::setFullURLName const SbString urlref  ) 
 

Sets the full (non-relative) URL name.

const SbString & SoVRMLInline::getFullURLName void   ) 
 

Returns the full URL name.

SoGroup * SoVRMLInline::copyChildren void   )  const
 

Returns a copy of the children.

void SoVRMLInline::requestURLData void   ) 
 

Request URL data.

SbBool SoVRMLInline::isURLDataRequested void   )  const
 

Returns TRUE if the URL data has been requested.

SbBool SoVRMLInline::isURLDataHere void   )  const
 

Returns TRUE if the data has been loaded.

void SoVRMLInline::cancelURLDataRequest void   )

void SoVRMLInline::setBoundingBoxColor SbColor color  )  [static]
 

Sets the color of the bounding box.

SbColor & SoVRMLInline::getBoundingBoxColor void   )  [static]
 

Returns the color of the bounding box.

void SoVRMLInline::setReadAsSoFile SbBool  enable  )  [static]
 

Sets whether Inline nodes should be treated as a normal Inventor SoFile node.

SbBool SoVRMLInline::getReadAsSoFile void   )  [static]
 

Returns whether Inline nodes is read as SoFile nodes.

void SoVRMLInline::doAction SoAction action  )  [virtual]
 

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoVRMLInline::callback SoCallbackAction action  )  [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 SoVRMLInline::GLRender SoGLRenderAction action  )  [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 SoVRMLInline::getBoundingBox SoGetBoundingBoxAction action  )  [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 SoVRMLInline::getMatrix SoGetMatrixAction action  )  [virtual]
 

Action method for SoGetMatrixAction.

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

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoVRMLInline::handleEvent SoHandleEventAction action  )  [virtual]
 

Action method for SoHandleEventAction.

Inspects the event data from action, and processes it if it is something which this node should react to.

Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how event handling is done also overrides this method.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoVRMLInline::search SoSearchAction action  )  [virtual]
 

Action method for SoSearchAction.

Compares the search criteria from the action to see if this node is a match. Searching is done by matching up all criteria set up in the SoSearchAction -- if any of the requested criteria is a miss, the search is not deemed successful for the node.
