DESCRIPTION

SbSphereProjector is an abstract base class for projectors that use a sphere in their projection. Sphere projectors are typically used to write interactive 3D manipulators and viewers.

METHODS

c } c } projectAndGetRotation(const SbVec2f &point, SbRotation &rot)

Apply the projector using the given point, returning the point in three dimensions that it projects to. This also returns in rot a rotation on the surface of the sphere from the last projected point to this one. The passed point should be normalized (i.e. lie in the range [0.0,1.0]), with (0,0) at the lower-left. c } c } getRotation(const SbVec3f &point1, const SbVec3f &point2)

Get a rotation given two points on this sphere projector. The rotation will be on the surface of the sphere. c } c } setSphere(const SbSphere &sph)

c } c } getSphere() const

Set and get the sphere on which to project points. The default sphere has radius 1.0. c } c } setOrientToEye(SbBool orientToEye)

c } c } isOrientToEye() const

Set and get whether the projector should always be oriented towards the eye. Set to FALSE if the tolerance should be evaluated in working space. c } c } setFront(SbBool isFront)

c } c } isFront() const

c } c } isPointInFront(const SbVec3f &point) const

Set and get whether the projector should intersect the half of the sphere that faces the eye. Set to FALSE if the projector should intersect with the rear half.
