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"
(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 ---
(See SoBaseKit::printTable() for information about the output formatting.)
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
SoType SoInteractionKit::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
}
}
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.

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,
SbBoolonlyifdefault = TRUE) [virtual]
Sets the value of partname to node, and sets the part's 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,
SbBoolonlyifdefault = TRUE) [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, SbBoolfillargs = TRUE)
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 ref'ed, It's 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 intnewVal) [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, SbBoolcopyconnections)
[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 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 SoRotateSphericalDragger, and SoRotateCylindricalDragger.
SbBool SoInteractionKit::setPart (const intpartnum, 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 shortflags) [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 chardefaultBuffer[],
intdefBufSize) [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, const SbName &nodename,
SbBoolanypart = TRUE, SbBoolonlyifdefault = TRUE) [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,
SbBoolleafcheck = FALSE, SbBoolpubliccheck = FALSE) [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 (SbBoolonoff, SbBooldoitalways = 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 SoBaseKit.
Reimplemented in SoTransformerDragger, SoHandleBoxDragger, SoDragPointDragger,
SoTransformBoxDragger, SoTrackballDragger, SoCenterballDragger, SoTabPlaneDragger,
SoTabBoxDragger, SoSpotLightDragger, SoTranslate2Dragger, SoRotateSphericalDragger,
SoRotateCylindricalDragger, SoTranslate1Dragger, SoDirectionalLightDragger, SoJackDragger,
SoScale2UniformDragger, SoRotateDiscDragger, SoScale1Dragger, SoScale2Dragger,
SoScaleUniformDragger, and SoPointLightDragger.
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.
Reimplemented from SoBaseKit.
Reimplemented in SoTransformerDragger, SoDragger, SoHandleBoxDragger, SoDragPointDragger,
SoTransformBoxDragger, SoTrackballDragger, SoCenterballDragger, SoTabPlaneDragger,
SoTabBoxDragger, SoSpotLightDragger, SoDirectionalLightDragger, SoJackDragger, and
SoPointLightDragger.
void SoInteractionKit::fieldSensorCB (void *d, 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.
void SoInteractionKit::connectSeparatorFields (SoSeparator *dest, SbBoolonOff) [protected]
Obsoleted in Coin.
