Detailed Description
The SbDPViewVolume class is a double precision viewing volume in 3D space.
This class contains the necessary information for storing a view volume. It has methods
for projection of primitives from or into the 3D volume, doing camera transforms, view
volume transforms etc.
Be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original
SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Member Enumeration Documentation
enum SbDPViewVolume::ProjectionType
An SbDPViewVolume instance can represent either an orthogonal projection volume or a
perspective projection volume.
See Also:
ortho(), perspective(), getProjectionType().
Enumerator
ORTHOGRAPHIC

PERSPECTIVE
Perspective projection.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
SbDPViewVolume::SbDPViewVolume (void)
Constructor. Note that the SbDPViewVolume instance will be uninitialized until you
explicitly call ortho() or perspective().

ortho(), perspective().
SbDPViewVolume::~SbDPViewVolume (void)
Destructor.
Member Function Documentation
void SbDPViewVolume::getMatrices (SbDPMatrix &affine, SbDPMatrix &proj) const
Returns the view volume's affine matrix and projection matrix.
See Also:
getMatrix(), getCameraSpaceMatrix()
SbDPMatrix SbDPViewVolume::getMatrix (void) const
Returns the combined affine and projection matrix.
See Also:
getMatrices(), getCameraSpaceMatrix()
SbDPMatrix SbDPViewVolume::getCameraSpaceMatrix (void) const
Returns a matrix which will translate the view volume camera back to origo, and rotate the
camera so it'll point along the negative z axis.
Note that the matrix will not include the rotation necessary to make the camera up vector
point along the positive y axis (i.e. camera roll is not accounted for).
See Also:
getMatrices(), getMatrix()
void SbDPViewVolume::projectPointToLine (const SbVec2d &pt, SbDPLine &line) const
Project the given 2D point from the projection plane into a 3D line.
pt coordinates should be normalized to be within [0, 1].
void SbDPViewVolume::projectPointToLine (const SbVec2d &pt, SbVec3d &line0, SbVec3d &line1)
const
Project the given 2D point from the projection plane into two points defining a 3D line.
The first point, line0, will be the corresponding point for the projection on the near
plane, while line1 will be the line endpoint, lying in the far plane.
void SbDPViewVolume::projectToScreen (const SbVec3d &src, SbVec3d &dst) const
Project the src point to a normalized set of screen coordinates in the projection plane
and place the result in dst.
It is safe to let src and be the same SbVec3d instance.
The z-coordinate of dst is monotonically increasing for points closer to the far plane.
Note however that this is not a linear relationship, the dst z-coordinate is calculated as
follows:
Orthogonal view: DSTz = (-2 * SRCz - far - near) / (far - near), Perspective view: DSTz =
(-SRCz * (far - near) - 2*far*near) / (far - near)
The returned coordinates (dst) are normalized to be in range [0, 1].
SbPlane SbDPViewVolume::getPlane (const doubledistFromEye) const
Returns an SbPlane instance which has a normal vector in the opposite direction of which
the camera is pointing. This means the plane will be parallel to the near and far clipping
planes.
See Also:
getSightPoint()
SbVec3d SbDPViewVolume::getSightPoint (const doubledistFromEye) const
Returns the point on the center line-of-sight from the camera position with the given
distance.
See Also:
getPlane()
SbVec3d SbDPViewVolume::getPlanePoint (const doubledistFromEye, const SbVec2d &normPoint)
const
Return the 3D point which projects to normPoint and lies on the plane perpendicular to the
camera direction and distFromEye distance away from the camera position.
normPoint should be given in normalized coordinates, where the visible render canvas is
covered by the range [0.0, 1.0].
SbDPRotation SbDPViewVolume::getAlignRotation (SbBoolrightangleonly = FALSE) const
Returns a rotation that aligns an object so that its positive x-axis is to the right and
its positive y-axis is up in the view volume.
If rightangleonly is TRUE, it will create a rotation that aligns the x and y-axis with the
closest orthogonal axes to right and up.
double SbDPViewVolume::getWorldToScreenScale (const SbVec3d &worldCenter, doublenormRadius)
const
Given a sphere with center in worldCenter and an initial radius of 1.0, return the scale
factor needed to make this sphere have a normRadius radius when projected onto the near
clipping plane.
SbVec2d SbDPViewVolume::projectBox (const SbBox3f &box) const
Projects the given box onto the projection plane and returns the normalized screen space
it occupies.
SbDPViewVolume SbDPViewVolume::narrow (doubleleft, doublebottom, doubleright, doubletop) const
Returns a narrowed version of the view volume which is within the given [0, 1] normalized
coordinates. The coordinates are taken to be corner points of a normalized 'view window'
on the near clipping plane. I.e.:
SbDPViewVolume view;
view.ortho(0, 100, 0, 100, 0.1, 1000);
view = view.narrow(0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0);
..will give a view volume with corner points <25, 75> and <50, 100>.

scale(), scaleWidth(), scaleHeight()
SbDPViewVolume SbDPViewVolume::narrow (const SbBox3f &box) const
Returns a narrowed version of the view volume which is within the given [0, 1] normalized
coordinates. The box x and y coordinates are taken to be corner points of a normalized
'view window' on the near clipping plane. The box z coordinates are used to adjust the
near and far clipping planes, and should be relative to the current clipping planes. A
value of 1.0 is at the current near plane. A value of 0.0 is at the current far plane.
void SbDPViewVolume::ortho (doubleleft, doubleright, doublebottom, doubletop, doublenearval,
doublefarval)
Set up the view volume as a rectangular box for orthographic parallel projections. The
line of sight will be along the negative z axis, through the center of the plane defined
by the point <(right+left)/2, (top+bottom)/2, 0>.

perspective().
void SbDPViewVolume::perspective (doublefovy, doubleaspect, doublenearval, doublefarval)
Set up the view volume for perspective projections. The line of sight will be through
origo along the negative z axis.
See Also:
ortho().
void SbDPViewVolume::frustum (doubleleft, doubleright, doublebottom, doubletop, doublenearval,
doublefarval)
Set up the frustum for perspective projection. This is an alternative to perspective()
that lets you specify any kind of view volumes (e.g. off center volumes). It has the same
arguments and functionality as the corresponding OpenGL glFrustum() function.
