NAME

       SoInteractionKit -

       The SoInteractionKit class is a base class for draggers.

       This nodekit class makes it possible to set surrogate paths for parts.
       Instead of creating new geometry for the dragger, it is possible to
       specify an existing path in your scene to be used for interaction. All
       picks on this path will be handled by the dragger.

Detailed Description

       The SoInteractionKit class is a base class for draggers.

       This nodekit class makes it possible to set surrogate paths for parts.
       Instead of creating new geometry for the dragger, it is possible to
       specify an existing path in your scene to be used for interaction. All
       picks on this path will be handled by the dragger.

       The SoInteractionKit is primarily an internal class used as a
       superclass for the dragger classes, and it is unlikely that it should
       be of interest to application programmers, unless you have very special
       needs in your application.

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

         CLASS SoInteractionKit
         -->"this"
               "callbackList"
         -->   "topSeparator"
         -->      "geomSeparator"
         .fi

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

       Detailed information on catalog parts:

         CLASS SoInteractionKit
         PVT   "this",  SoInteractionKit  ---
               "callbackList",  SoNodeKitListPart [ SoCallback, SoEventCallback ]
         PVT   "topSeparator",  SoSeparator  ---
         PVT   "geomSeparator",  SoSeparator  ---

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoInteractionKit::CacheEnabled Enumeration of valid values for the
       cache control fields SoInteractionKit::renderCaching,
       SoInteractionKit::boundingBoxCaching, SoInteractionKit::renderCulling
       and SoInteractionKit::pickCulling.
       The same values with the same semantics are present in this enum as for
       SoSeparator::CacheEnabled, so see that documentation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoInteractionKit::SoInteractionKit (void) Constructor.
   SoInteractionKit::~SoInteractionKit () [protected, virtual] Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   void SoInteractionKit::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 SoBaseKit.

       Reimplemented in SoCenterballDragger, SoDirectionalLightDragger,
       SoDragPointDragger, SoDragger, SoHandleBoxDragger, SoJackDragger,
       SoPointLightDragger, SoRotateCylindricalDragger, SoRotateDiscDragger,
       SoRotateSphericalDragger, SoScale1Dragger, SoScale2Dragger,
       SoScale2UniformDragger, SoScaleUniformDragger, SoSpotLightDragger,
       SoTabBoxDragger, SoTabPlaneDragger, SoTrackballDragger,
       SoTransformBoxDragger, SoTransformerDragger, SoTranslate1Dragger, and
       SoTranslate2Dragger.

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setPartAsPath (const SbName & partname, SoPath *
       path) [virtual] Sets a part in the kit as a surrogate path. The
       partname part is set to NULL, and the surrogate path is remembered.
       Following picks on the surrogate path will be regarded as a pick on
       partname.
   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setPartAsDefault (const SbName & partname, SoNode
       * node, SbBool onlyifdefault = 1) [virtual] Sets the value of partname
       to node, and sets the parts field to default (i.e. node will not be
       written on scene graph export).
       If onlyifdefault is TRUE, partname is only set if it is already in the
       default state.

       The reason for this method is to make it possible for dragger
       subclasses to avoid having their default parts written out on export.

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setPartAsDefault (const SbName & partname, const
       SbName & nodename, SbBool onlyifdefault = 1) [virtual] Find node in the
       global dictionary, and set as default.
       See also:
           setPartAsDefault()

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::isPathSurrogateInMySubgraph (const SoPath * path,
       SoPath *& pathToOwner, SbName & surrogatename, SoPath *& surrogatepath,
       SbBool fillargs = 1) Checks if path is contained within any of the
       surrogate paths in any interaction kits from this node down. Returns
       information about the owner and the surrogate path if found, and
       fillargs is TRUE. The returned path (pathToOwner) is not refed, Its
       the callers responsibility to ref and unref this path.
   SbBool SoInteractionKit::isPathSurrogateInMySubgraph (const SoPath * path)
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
   void SoInteractionKit::setSwitchValue (SoNode * node, const int newVal)
       [static] Convenience method that sets the switch value for a switch
       node. Checks if node != 0, and only sets the switch value if value has
       changed.
   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setPart (const SbName & partname, SoNode * from)
       [virtual] Sets the catalog part given by partname to the from node
       pointer.
       Reimplemented from SoBaseKit.

   void SoInteractionKit::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 SoBaseKit.

       Reimplemented in SoRotateCylindricalDragger, and
       SoRotateSphericalDragger.

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setPart (const int partnum, SoNode * node)
       [protected, virtual] Sets parts, updates nodekit scene graph, and makes
       sure graph is valid with respect to right siblings and parent. This
       method is virtual to enable subclasses to detect when a part changes
       value.
       This method is not part of the original SGI Open Inventor API, but is
       an extension specific to Coin.

       Reimplemented from SoBaseKit.

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::readInstance (SoInput * in, unsigned short flags)
       [protected, virtual] This method is mainly intended for internal use
       during file import operations.
       It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream in. The
       input stream state points to the start of a serialized / persistant
       representation of an instance of this class type.

       TRUE or FALSE is returned, depending on if the instantiation and
       configuration of the new object of this class type went ok or not. The
       import process should be robust and handle corrupted input streams by
       returning FALSE.

       flags is used internally during binary import when reading user
       extension nodes, group nodes or engines.

       Reimplemented from SoBaseKit.

   void SoInteractionKit::readDefaultParts (const char * fileName, const char
       defaultBuffer[], int defBufSize) [static, protected] Reads default
       parts for a dragger.
       This method is called from dragger constructors to set up a dragger’s
       nodekit catalog of interaction and feedback geometry.

       fileName is the user-changeable resource file in the Inventor file
       format, while defaultBuffer and defBufSize can point to the statically
       compiled default parts.

       The environment variable SO_DRAGGER_DIR must be set to a valid
       directory prefix for fileName, or no resource file will be loaded (and
       defaultBuffer will be used instead).

       If both a fileName and a defaultBuffer is provided, the file will be
       attempted found and loaded first, if that fails, the geometry will be
       attempted read from the buffer.

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setAnyPartAsDefault (const SbName & partname,
       SoNode * node, SbBool anypart = 1, SbBool onlyifdefault = 1)
       [protected, virtual] Protected version of setPartAsDefault(), to make
       it possible to set non-leaf and private parts (if anypart is TRUE).
       See also:
           setPartAsDefault()

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setAnyPartAsDefault (const SbName & partname,
       const SbName & nodename, SbBool anypart = 1, SbBool onlyifdefault = 1)
       [protected, virtual] Protected version of setPartAsDefault(), to make
       it possible to set non-leaf and private parts (if anypart is TRUE).
       See also:
           setPartAsDefault()

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setAnySurrogatePath (const SbName & partname,
       SoPath * path, SbBool leafcheck = 0, SbBool publiccheck = 0)
       [protected] Protected version of setPartAsPath(), to make it possible
       to set non-leaf and private parts.
       (’The nice thing about C++ is that only your friends can handle your
         private parts.’)

       See also:
           setPartAsPath()

   SbBool SoInteractionKit::setUpConnections (SbBool onoff, SbBool doitalways
       = 0) [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 SoBaseKit.

       SoDragPointDragger, SoHandleBoxDragger, SoJackDragger,

       SoRotateSphericalDragger, SoScale1Dragger, SoScale2Dragger,

       SoTransformBoxDragger, SoTransformerDragger, SoTranslate1Dragger, and
       SoTranslate2Dragger.

   void SoInteractionKit::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.)
       This is a virtual method, and the code in it 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 an 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.
