NAME

       SoExtSelection -

       The SoExtSelection class can be used for extended selection
       functionality.

       This class enables you to select geometry by specifying a lasso (a
       polygon) or a rectangle on screen. When objects are selected, you’ll
       receive the same callbacks as for the SoSelection node.

Detailed Description

       The SoExtSelection class can be used for extended selection
       functionality.

       This class enables you to select geometry by specifying a lasso (a
       polygon) or a rectangle on screen. When objects are selected, you’ll
       receive the same callbacks as for the SoSelection node.

       The application programmer interface of this class is somewhat complex,
       due to it’s non-trivial functionality. To see an extensive usage
       example of the SoExtSelection node, we advise you to go look at the
       ’extselection’ example application in the ’nodes/’ directory of
       Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies SoGuiExamples CVS module. Further
       information and links for downloading and building this module should
       be available at www.coin3d.org.

       This node class is an extension versus the original SGI Inventor v2.1
       API. It is based on the API of TGS Inventor’s SoExtSelection, and we
       aim to be fully compatible with this node to enable users to switch
       between using Coin and TGS Inventor. Please contact us if you find
       discrepancies between Coin’s SoExtSelection and TGS’s SoExtSelection
       node.

Member Function Documentation

   void SoExtSelection::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 SoSelection.

   void SoExtSelection::useOverlay (SbBool overlay = 1) Specifies whether the
       overlay planes should be used to render the lasso.
       This method has been obsoleted in Coin, as most graphics cards comes
       without support for overlay rendering. A better strategy is to just
       ’overlay’ the lasso graphics on top of the scene after everything else
       has been rendered -- and this is the strategy we apply in Coin.

   SbBool SoExtSelection::isUsingOverlay (void) Returns whether overlay planes
       are used to draw the lasso.
       See also:
           useOverlay().

   SoSeparator * SoExtSelection::getOverlaySceneGraph (void) Returns the scene
       graph for overlay rendering. Will always return NULL in Coin, as this
       method has been obsoleted.
       (It is probably used in TGS Inventor from the SoXt / SoWin libraries’
       So[Xt|Win]RenderArea class to fetch the overlay graph to draw, and as
       such should be treated as an internal method.)

   void SoExtSelection::setOverlayLassoColorIndex (const int index) Obsoleted
       in Coin, use SoExtSelection::setLassoColor() instead.
   int SoExtSelection::getOverlayLassoColorIndex (void) Obsoleted in Coin, use
       SoExtSelection::getLassoColor() instead.
       See also:
           setOverlayLassoColorIndex().

   void SoExtSelection::setLassoColor (const SbColor & color) Sets the
       lasso/rectangle line color. Default value is (1.0, 1.0, 1.0).
   const SbColor & SoExtSelection::getLassoColor (void) Returns the lasso
       color.
   void SoExtSelection::setLassoWidth (const float width) Sets the lasso line
       width. Default value is 1.0.
   float SoExtSelection::getLassoWidth (void) Returns the lasso line width.
   void SoExtSelection::setOverlayLassoPattern (const unsigned short pattern)
       Sets the lasso line pattern. Default value is 0xf0f0.
   unsigned short SoExtSelection::getOverlayLassoPattern (void) Returns the
       lasso line pattern.
   void SoExtSelection::animateOverlayLasso (const SbBool animate = 1) Sets
       whether the lasso should be animated by scrolling the line pattern.
   SbBool SoExtSelection::isOverlayLassoAnimated (void) Returns whether the
       lasso is set to animate or not.
   void SoExtSelection::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 SoSelection.

   void SoExtSelection::GLRenderBelowPath (SoGLRenderAction * action)
       [virtual] SGI Open Inventor v2.1 obsoleted support for
       SoGLRenderAction::addMethod(). Instead, GLRender() might be called
       directly, and to optimize traversal, the SoSeparator node calls
       GLRenderBelowPath whenever the path code is BELOW_PATH or NO_PATH (path
       code is guaranteed not to change). To be compatible with SGIs Inventor
       (and thereby also TGS) we have chosen to follow their implementation
       in this respect.
       SoSeparator::GLRenderBelowPath() do not traverse its children using
       SoChildList::traverse(), but calls GLRenderBelowPath() directly for all
       its children.

       Reimplemented from SoSeparator.

   void SoExtSelection::select (SoNode * root, int numcoords, SbVec2f * lasso,
       const SbViewportRegion & vp, SbBool shiftpolicy) Simulate lasso
       selection programmatically.
       This function is currently just stubbed.

   void SoExtSelection::select (SoNode * root, int numcoords, SbVec3f * lasso,
       const SbViewportRegion & vp, SbBool shiftpolicy) Simulate lasso
       selection programmatically.
       This function is currently just stubbed.

   const SbVec2s * SoExtSelection::getLassoCoordsDC (int & numCoords) Returns
       lasso coordinates in device coordinates.
       This function is currently just stubbed.

   const SbVec3f * SoExtSelection::getLassoCoordsWC (int & numCoords) Returns
       lasso coordinates in world coordinates.
       This function is currently just stubbed.

   const SoPathList & SoExtSelection::getSelectionPathList () const Returns a
       pathlist containing selected objects.
       This function is currently just stubbed.

   void SoExtSelection::setLassoFilterCallback (SoLassoSelectionFilterCB * f,
       void * userdata = NULL, const SbBool callonlyifselectable = 1) The
       lasso selection filter callback is called when a node is about to be
       selected, and enables the application programmer to return a new path
       to be used when selecting. The new returned path should not be refd.
       SoExtSelection will ref() and unref() it.
       To cancel the selection, return NULL from the callback.

       if callonlyifselectable is TRUE, the callback will only be invoked when
       the path to the new node pass through the SoExtSelection node.

       This method is specific to Coin, and is not part of TGS OIV.

   void SoExtSelection::setTriangleFilterCallback (SoExtSelectionTriangleCB *
       func, void * userdata = NULL) Sets the callback that will be called for
       every triangle inside the lasso/rectangle when selecting.
       The callback should return FALSE if it wants to continue being invoked.
       When the callback returns TRUE, the object/shape is selected, and no
       more callbacks will be invoked for the object.

       See also:
           setLineSegmentFilterCallback, setPointFilterCallback

   void SoExtSelection::setLineSegmentFilterCallback
       (SoExtSelectionLineSegmentCB * func, void * userdata = NULL) Sets the
       callback that will be called for every line segment inside the
       lasso/rectangle when selecting.
       The callback should return FALSE if it wants to continue being invoked.
       When the callback returns TRUE, the object/shape is selected, and no
       more callbacks will be invoked for the object.

       See also:
           setTriangleFilterCallback, setPointFilterCallback

   void SoExtSelection::setPointFilterCallback (SoExtSelectionPointCB * func,
       void * userdata = NULL) Sets the callback that will be called for every
       point inside the lasso/rectangle when selecting.
       The callback should return FALSE if it wants to continue being invoked.
       When the user returns TRUE, the object/shape is selected, and no more
       callbacks will be invoked for the object.

       See also:
           setLineSegmentFilterCallback, setTriangleFilterCallback

   SbBool SoExtSelection::wasShiftDown (void) const Returns whether the SHIFT
       key was pressed during the latest user interaction. This is useful if
       you want to respect the shift policy while selecting primitives.
       This method is specific to Coin, and is not part of TGS OIV.

Member Data Documentation

   SoSFEnum SoExtSelection::lassoType Field for lasso type. Default value is
       SoExtSelection::NOLASSO.
       Selections with type SoExtSelection::RECTANGLE or SoExtSelection::LASSO
       can be aborted by the end-user by hitting the END key on the keyboard.

   SoSFEnum SoExtSelection::lassoPolicy Field for lasso policy. Default value
       is FULL_BBOX.
   SoSFEnum SoExtSelection::lassoMode Field for lasso mode. Default value is
       ALL_SHAPES.
       Set this field to VISIBLE_SHAPES to make only the primitives visible
       from the current viewpoint be selected.
