Detailed Description

       The SoClipPlaneManip class is used to manipulate clip planes.

       A manipulator is used by replacing the node you want to edit in the
       graph with the manipulator. Draggers are used to manipulate the node.
       When manipulation is finished, the node is put back into the graph,
       replacing the manipulator.

       An SoJackDragger is used by instances of this manipulator class as the
       default dragger when manipulating SoClipPlane nodes. See the
       documentation of SoJackDragger for details about how to control the
       manipulator.

       An ’action shot’ of the SoClipPlaneManip:

       This manipulator is an extension versus the original SGI Inventor v2.1
       API. In addition to being a Coin extension, it is also present in TGS’
       Inventor implementation (with the same API).

       Please not that this manipulator is a bit different than the other
       manipulators, since it will not automatically scale and translate the
       dragger to surround the geometry. The setValue() function must be used
       to initialize the manipulator/dragger. Below you’ll find some example
       code that loads an Inventor file and adds a clip plane manipulator.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoClipPlaneManip::SoClipPlaneManip (void) An SoJackDragger is set up here
       as the internal dragger used for manipulation of an SoClipPlane node.
   SoClipPlaneManip::~SoClipPlaneManip (void) [protected, virtual] Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   void SoClipPlaneManip::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 SoClipPlane.

   SoDragger * SoClipPlaneManip::getDragger (void) Returns pointer to dragger
       used for interaction.
   void SoClipPlaneManip::setValue (const SbBox3f & box, const SbVec3f &
       planenormal, float draggerscalefactor) Sets the clip plane based on the
       center of box and normal. The size of box is used as a scale factor to
       the dragger, multiplied with draggerscalefactor.
   SbBool SoClipPlaneManip::replaceNode (SoPath * path) Replaces the node
       specified by path with this manipulator. The manipulator will copy the
       field data from the node, to make it affect the state in the same way
       as the node.
   SbBool SoClipPlaneManip::replaceManip (SoPath * path, SoClipPlane * newone)
       const Replaces this manipulator from the position specified by path
       with newnode. If newnode is NULL, an SoClipPlane will be created for
       you.
   void SoClipPlaneManip::doAction (SoAction * action) [virtual] This function
       performs the typical operation of a node for any action.
       Reimplemented from SoClipPlane.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::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 SoClipPlane.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::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 SoClipPlane.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::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 SoClipPlaneManip::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 SoClipPlaneManip::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 SoClipPlaneManip::pick (SoPickAction * action) [virtual] Action method
       for SoPickAction.
       Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

       Reimplemented from SoClipPlane.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::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.

       See also:
           SoSearchAction

       Reimplemented from SoNode.

   SoChildList * SoClipPlaneManip::getChildren (void) const [virtual] Returns
       the children of this node.
       Reimplemented from SoNode.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::setDragger (SoDragger * newdragger) [protected] Sets
       a dragger to use for this manipulator. The default dragger is an
       SoJackDragger.
   void SoClipPlaneManip::copyContents (const SoFieldContainer * from, SbBool
       copyconnections) [protected, virtual] Makes a deep copy of all data of
       from into this instance, except external scenegraph references if
       copyconnections is FALSE.
       This is the protected method that should be overridden by extension
       node / engine / dragger / whatever subclasses which needs to account
       for internal data that are not handled automatically.

       For copying nodes from application code, you should not invoke this
       function directly, but rather call the SoNode::copy() function:

         SoNode * mynewnode = templatenode->copy();

       The same also goes for engines.

       Make sure that when you override the copyContents() method in your
       extension class that you also make it call upwards to it’s parent
       superclass in the inheritance hierarchy, as copyContents() in for
       instance SoNode and SoFieldContainer does important work. It should go
       something like this:

         void
         MyCoinExtensionNode::copyContents(const SoFieldContainer * from,
                                           SbBool copyconnections)
         {
           // let parent superclasses do their thing (copy fields, copy
           // instance name, etc etc)
           SoNode::copyContents(from, copyconnections);

           // [..then copy internal data..]
         }

       Reimplemented from SoNode.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::valueChangedCB (void * m, SoDragger * dragger)
       [static, protected] This API member is considered internal to the
       library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application
       programmer.
       Called whenever dragger is touched.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::fieldSensorCB (void * m, SoSensor * s) [static,
       protected] This API member is considered internal to the library, as it
       is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
       Called whenever one of the fields changes value.

   void SoClipPlaneManip::transferFieldValues (const SoClipPlane * from,
       SoClipPlane * to) [static, protected] Copies field values from one clip
       plane node to another.
