DESCRIPTION
SoRotateSphericalDragger is a simple dragger that rotates freely in all directions. The
feel of the rotation is as if you were rolling a ball. The center of rotation is the
origin of the local space, determined by the dragger's location in the scene graph.
Transformation nodes placed before it will affect both the dragger and the direction of
motion.
This node has a rotation field which always reflects its orientation in local space. If
you set the field, the dragger will rotate accordingly. You can also connect fields of
other nodes or engines from this one to make them follow the dragger's orientation.
This dragger contains four parts, rotator, rotatorActive, feedback, and feedbackActive.
Each of these is set by default from a resource described in the Dragger Resources section
of the online reference page for this class. You can change the parts in any instance of
this dragger using setPart().
You can make your program use different default resources for the parts by copying the
file /usr/share/data/draggerDefaults/rotateSphericalDragger.iv into your own directory,
editing the file, and then setting the environment variable SO_DRAGGER_DIR to be a path to
that directory.
FIELDS
SoSFRotation rotation
Orientation of the dragger.
METHODS
SoRotateSphericalDragger()
Constructor.
void setProjector(SbSphereProjector *p)
const SbSphereProjector * getProjector() const
Set and get a different sphere projector. See the SbSphereProjector man pages to find
out how each kind affects the feel of your dragger's motion. The default uses an
SbSpherePlaneProjector.
Passing in NULL will cause the default type of projector to be used. Any projector you
pass in will be deleted by this dragger when this dragger is deleted. Note that the
center and radius of the sphere are determined by the dragger, based on the origin of
the local space and the distance between the initial mouse click and that origin.
static const SoNodekitCatalog *
getClassNodekitCatalog() const
Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for this class
static SoType getClassTypeId()
Returns type identifier for this class.
