The SoQtViewer class is the top level base viewer class.
This is an abstract class, which adds the following features to it's SoQtRenderArea superclass: convenient methods for camera handling, an automatic headlight configuration.
As for the camera handling: when setting a new scenegraph for the viewer, the scenegraph will automatically be scanned for a node derived from SoCamera. If not found, the viewer will itself set up a camera for the scene. The camera can then be conveniently controlled by the application programmers in many aspects:
Note that there is no dragger or manipulator attached to the scene camera. The camera transform manipulation is calculated in a more direct manner in the non-abstract viewer classes inheriting SoQtViewer by reading mouse and keyboard events and interpreting how these should influence the camera. The calculations results in new values for SoCamera::position, SoCamera::orientation, and the other SoCamera field values for the camera designated to be the viewer viewpoint camera. These values are then inserted directly into the viewer's SoCamera node.
See e.g. the source code for SoQtExaminerViewer::processSoEvent() for the details.
The SoQtViewer class automatically adds a headlight to the scene, which will always point in the approximate same direction as the current viewer camera, thereby securing that the scene geometry is always lighted and visible. (If you don't want the constant headlight, but rather want to light the scene on your own, this behavior can be turned off with SoQtViewer::setHeadlight()).
SoQtViewer-derived viewers all inherit the following keyboard controls from this class (but only when the viewer is in 'examine mode', ie SoQtViewer::isViewing() returns TRUE):
Hints about what context the viewer will be used in. Usually not very interesting for the application programmer, it doesn't matter much which value is used for the viewer type. This 'feature' of the viewer is included just to be compatible with the old SGI Inventor API.
Enumerator
So if you want to avoid having the SoQtViewer class muck about with your supplied scenegraph, set the type-flag to SoQtViewer::BROWSER instead, which makes an inserted camera node go into the viewer's own 'wrapper' scene graph instead.
Decides drawstyle for a scene with either a still camera or an animating camera.

Enumerator
Note that this is actually an expensive way to render, as the scene must be rendered twice to achieve the effect of hiding lines behind the invisible geometry.
A very efficient way of optimizing rendering performance for scenes with high primitive counts while moving the camera about is to set this mode for the SoQtViewer::INTERACTIVE DrawType.
Contains valid values for the first argument to the SoQtViewer::setDrawStyle() call. Decides the effect of the second argument.

This mode can be useful with absurdly large scenes, as the rendering will visibly progress, and one will avoid having the end user wonder why nothing is happening while the scene is rendered to the back buffer in the default SoQtViewer::BUFFER_DOUBLE mode.

Constructor. parent, name and embed are passed on to SoQtRenderArea, so see the documentation for our parent constructor for for more information on those.
The t type setting hints about what context the viewer will be used in. Usually not very interesting for the application programmer, but if you want to make sure the SoQtViewer class doesn't muck about with your supplied scenegraph, set the type-flag to SoQtViewer::BROWSER. (This 'feature' of the viewer is included just to be compatible with the old SGI Inventor API.)
The build flag decides whether or not to delay building the widgets / window which is going to make up the components of the viewer.

Destructor.

Set the camera we want the viewer to manipulate when interacting with the viewer controls.
The camera passed in as an argument to this method must already be part of the viewer's scenegraph. You do not inject viewpoint cameras to the viewer with this method.
You should rather insert a camera into the scene graph first (if necessary, often one will be present already), then register it as the camera used by the viewer controls with this method.
If the application code doesn't explicitly set up a camera through this method, the viewer will automatically scan through the scenegraph to find a camera to use. If no camera is available in the scenegraph at all, it will set up it's own camera.

Returns the camera currently used by the viewer for the user's main viewpoint.
It is possible that this function returns NULL, for instance if there's no scenegraph present in the viewer. (This is mostly meant as a note for developers extending the SoQt library, as application programmers usually controls if and when a viewer contains a scenegraph, and therefore know in advance if this method will return a valid camera pointer.)

When the viewer has to make its own camera as a result of the graph passed to setSceneGraph() not containing any camera nodes, this call can be made in advance to decide which type the camera will be of.
Default is to use an SoPerspectiveCamera.
If this method is called when there is a scene graph and a camera already set up, it will delete the old camera and set up a camera with the new type if the t type is different from that of the current camera.

Turn on or off continuous automatic adjustments of the near and far clipping planes.
If on, the distance from the camera position to the near and far planes will be calculated to be a 'best fit' around the geometry in the scene, to maximize the 'stretch' of values for the visible geometry in the z-buffer. This is important, as z-buffer resolution is usually limited enough that one will quickly see flickering in the rasterization of close polygons upon lousy utilization of the z-buffer.
Automatic calculations of near and far clip planes are on as default.
For better control over what happens in boundary conditions (for instance when the distance between near and far planes get very far, or if geometry gets very close to the camera position), it is possible to use the SoQtViewer::setAutoClippingStrategy() method to fine-tune the near/far clipping plane settings.
On a major note, be aware that turning auto-updating of near and far clip planes off have a potentially serious detrimental effect on performance, due to an important side effect: updating the near and far clip planes triggers an SoGetBoundingBoxAction to traverse the scene graph, which causes bounding boxes to be calculated and stored in caches. The bounding box caches are then used by the SoGLRenderAction traversal for view frustum culling operations. With no bounding box caches, the rendering will not do culling, which can cause much worse performance. Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies are working on correcting this problem properly from within the Coin library.
On a minor note, be aware that notifications will be temporarily turned off for the scene's SoCamera when changing the near and far clipping planes (which is done right before each redraw). This is done to avoid notifications being sent through the scene graph right before rendering, as that causes some latency. It is mentioned here in case you have any client code which for some reason needs to sense all changes to the scene camera. This is however unlikely, so you can very probably ignore this.
See also:
References SoQtRenderArea::scheduleRedraw().
Return value of the automatic near/far clipplane adjustment indicator.
See also:
Set the strategy used for automatic updates of the distances to the near and far clipping planes.
When auto clipping is enabled, the near plane distance is calculated so that it is just in front of the scene bounding box. If this near plane is behind or very close to the projection point, one of the following strategies will be used to calculate the new clipping plane.
The VARIABLE_NEAR_PLANE strategy considers the number of z buffer bits available for the current OpenGL context, and uses value to calculate the number of bits that is lost because of the far/near ratio. value should be in the range [0.0, 1.0]. A higher value will increase the z-buffer precision, but also push the near plane further away from the projection point.
The CONSTANT_NEAR_PLANE strategy simply sets the near plane to value. If value at some point approaches the far clipping plane distance, the near plane distance will be set to far plane distance divided by 5000.0.
The default strategy is VARIABLE_NEAR_PLANE.
It is also possible to register a callback method cb, which will then be invoked after the near and far clipping planes has been calculated by the SoQtViewer code. The callback can then adjust the values for the distance to the near and far planes to exactly match the needs of the application (for instance at specific parts in the scene), to limit the distance to either plane, or whatever else needs to be controlled.
The signature of the SoQtAutoClippingCB callback must match:
SbVec2f myfunc(void * data, const SbVec2f & nearfar);
The first argument is the cbuserdata passed in along with the callback function pointer itself (ie the callback function's closure). The second argument is the near and far clipping plane distances from the camera position, as calculated internally by the viewer, including 'slack'.
The function callback can then modify the near and far clipping plane distances to what will actually be used by the viewer. These values will then be used unmodified for the viewer's camera.
This is a good way of dynamically modifying the near and far distances such that they at all times exactly matches the specific layout of the application scene, for instance with regard to the trade-off between z-buffer resolution and how early geometry is clipped at the near plane (or at the far plane).
Note that the internal near/far calculations should be good enough for the vast majority of scenes. Application programmers should only need to set up their own adjustments upon 'unusual' scenes, like for instance scenes with a large world space, but where one would still like to be able to get up extremely close on details in some parts of the scene.

Toolkit-native events are attempted converted to Coin-generic events in the SoQtRenderArea::processEvent() method. If this succeeds, they are forwarded to this method.
This is a virtual method, and is overridden in it's subclasses to catch events of particular interest to the viewer classes, for instance.
Return TRUE iff the event was processed. If not it should be passed on further up in the inheritance hierarchy by the caller. This last point is extremely important to take note of if you are expanding the toolkit with your own viewer class.
This method is not part of the original SGI InventorXt API. Note that you can still override the toolkit-native processEvent() method instead of this 'generic' method.

To be able to trigger callback functions when user interaction starts and/or stops, we need to keep track of the viewer state (i.e. are we in still mode or in animation mode?).
SoQtViewer automatically adds callbacks to switch between still and moving draw style, and to switch between single/double buffer when the buffer type is INTERACTIVE.

Return current interaction count nesting. If equal to zero, the viewer is in animation mode, otherwise the camera is still.

Set the value used for calculating how close the camera and intersection hit point should be made at the end of a seek operation.
The value can be interpreted as an absolute value in the given world unit (which typically is meters) or as a percentage value of the distance between the camera starting position and the intersection hit point. This can be controlled through the setSeekValueAsPercentage() method. It is as default used as an absolute value.
Default value is 50 (absolute distance or percent).
See also:
Returns the current seek distance. Value given as an absolute scalar length or as a percentage value of the original distance between the hitpoint and the camera starting position.
See also:
Control whether or not the seek distance value should be interpreted as a percentage value or as an absolute distance. See documentation on setSeekDistance() for more information.

References isSeekValuePercentage().
Returns an boolean which indicates if the seek distance value from getSeekDistance() should be interpreted as a percentage value or as an absolute value.
