Detailed Description
SoEngine is the base class for Coin engines.
Engines enables the application programmers to make complex connections between fields.
The most common cases where you use engines are: 1) to constrain the values of a field with regard to the contents of one or more other fields in the scene graph, 2) as a convenient way to animate parts of the scene graph.
The reference count of an engine will be increased by 1 for each connection made to one of its engine outputs, and decreased by one for a disconnect. See SoEngineOutput::addConnection() and SoEngineOutput::removeConnection(). When the reference count goes down to zero, the engine will automatically be destroyed, and subsequent attempts at using the engine will lead to a crash.
If you want complete control over when an engine gets destructed, use SoBase::ref() and SoBase::unref() for explicit referencing/dereferencing.

Member Function Documentation
void SoEngine::initClass (void) [static]
Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.
Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
Reimplemented in SoBoolOperation, SoCalculator, SoComposeMatrix, SoComposeRotation, SoComposeRotationFromTo, SoComposeVec2f, SoComposeVec3f, SoComposeVec4f, SoComputeBoundingBox, SoConcatenate, SoCounter, SoDecomposeMatrix, SoDecomposeRotation, SoDecomposeVec2f, SoDecomposeVec3f, SoDecomposeVec4f, SoElapsedTime, SoFieldConverter, SoGate, SoInterpolate, SoInterpolateFloat, SoInterpolateRotation, SoInterpolateVec2f, SoInterpolateVec3f, SoInterpolateVec4f, SoOnOff, SoOneShot, SoSelectOne, SoTimeCounter, SoTransformVec3f, and SoTriggerAny.
void SoEngine::initClasses (void) [static]
Initializes all engines. Automatically called from SoEngine::initClass() upon initialization of Coin.
Reimplemented in SoFieldConverter, and SoInterpolate.
SoType SoEngine::getClassTypeId (void) [static]
This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.
Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
Reimplemented in SoBoolOperation, SoCalculator, SoComposeMatrix, SoComposeRotation, SoComposeRotationFromTo, SoComposeVec2f, SoComposeVec3f, SoComposeVec4f, SoComputeBoundingBox, SoConcatenate, SoCounter, SoDecomposeMatrix, SoDecomposeRotation, SoDecomposeVec2f, SoDecomposeVec3f, SoDecomposeVec4f, SoElapsedTime, SoFieldConverter, SoGate, SoInterpolate, SoInterpolateFloat, SoInterpolateRotation, SoInterpolateVec2f, SoInterpolateVec3f, SoInterpolateVec4f, SoOnOff, SoOneShot, SoSelectOne, SoTimeCounter, SoTransformVec3f, and SoTriggerAny.
void SoEngine::evaluateWrapper (void)
Triggers an engine evaluation.
int SoEngine::getOutputs (SoEngineOutputList & l) const [virtual]
Adds all outputs to list. Returns the number of outputs added to the list.
SoEngineOutput * SoEngine::getOutput (const SbName & outputname) const
Returns the output with name outputname, or NULL if no such output exists.
SbBool SoEngine::getOutputName (const SoEngineOutput * output, SbName & outputname) const
Sets to the name of output. Returns FALSE if no such output is contained within the engine instance.
const SoEngineOutputData * SoEngine::getOutputData (void) const [pure virtual]
This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
Implemented in SoBoolOperation, SoCalculator, SoComposeMatrix, SoComposeRotation, SoComposeRotationFromTo, SoComposeVec2f, SoComposeVec3f, SoComposeVec4f, SoComputeBoundingBox, SoConcatenate, SoCounter, SoDecomposeMatrix, SoDecomposeRotation, SoDecomposeVec2f, SoDecomposeVec3f, SoDecomposeVec4f, SoElapsedTime, SoFieldConverter, SoGate, SoInterpolate, SoInterpolateFloat, SoInterpolateRotation, SoInterpolateVec2f, SoInterpolateVec3f, SoInterpolateVec4f, SoOnOff, SoOneShot, SoSelectOne, SoTimeCounter, SoTransformVec3f, and SoTriggerAny.
SoEngine * SoEngine::getByName (const SbName & name) [static]
Returns the engine named name, or NULL if no such engine exists. If several engines have been registered under the same name, returns the last one which was registered.
int SoEngine::getByName (const SbName & name, SoEngineList & el) [static]
Finds all engines named name. Returns the number of engines added to the el list.
SbBool SoEngine::isNotifying (void) const
Returns whether we're in a notification process. This is needed to avoid double notification when an engine enables outputs during inputChanged().
void SoEngine::notify (SoNotList * nl) [virtual]
Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made.
Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
SoEngine * SoEngine::copy (void) const
Make a duplicate of this engine and return a pointer to the duplicate.
Connections are shallow copied, ie the node or engine instance at the other end of the connection is not cloned. We just let the connection reference from the cloned engine refer to the same instance as the engine we've cloned ourselves from.
Note that this is not the function the application programmer should override if she needs some special behavior during a copy operation (like copying the value of internal data not exposed as fields). For that purpose, override the copyContents() method. Your overridden copyContents() method should then both copy internal data aswell as calling the parent superclass' copyContents() method for automatically handling of fields and other common data.
SoFieldContainer * SoEngine::copyThroughConnection (void) const [virtual]
Return copy of this instance.
Note: default implementation just returns this pointer, SoNode and SoEngine overrides this method to return the pointer to the actual copy.
Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
SbBool SoEngine::shouldCopy (void) const
Returns whether this engine should be copied or simply referenced in a copy operation.
Engines which are not really part of the scenegraph should not be copied.
void SoEngine::writeInstance (SoOutput * out) [virtual]
Writes all the fields contained in this instance to the output stream within out.
Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
Reimplemented in SoElapsedTime, and SoTimeCounter.
void SoEngine::evaluate (void) [protected, pure virtual]
This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
SbBool SoEngine::readInstance (SoInput * in, unsigned short flags) [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 SoFieldContainer.
void SoEngine::inputChanged (SoField * which) [protected, virtual]
Called when an input is changed. The default method does nothing, but subclasses may override this method to do the The Right Thing when a specific field is changed.
Reimplemented in SoCalculator, SoGate, and SoTimeCounter.
const SoFieldData ** SoEngine::getInputDataPtr (void) [static, protected]
Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about inputs in this engine.
Reimplemented in SoBoolOperation, SoCalculator, SoComposeMatrix, SoComposeRotation, SoComposeRotationFromTo, SoComposeVec2f, SoComposeVec3f, SoComposeVec4f, SoComputeBoundingBox, SoConcatenate, SoCounter, SoDecomposeMatrix, SoDecomposeRotation, SoDecomposeVec2f, SoDecomposeVec3f, SoDecomposeVec4f, SoElapsedTime, SoFieldConverter, SoGate, SoInterpolate, SoInterpolateFloat, SoInterpolateRotation, SoInterpolateVec2f, SoInterpolateVec3f, SoInterpolateVec4f, SoOnOff, SoOneShot, SoSelectOne, SoTimeCounter, SoTransformVec3f, and SoTriggerAny.
const SoEngineOutputData ** SoEngine::getOutputDataPtr (void) [static, protected]
Returns the SoEngineOutputData class which holds information about the outputs in this engine.
Reimplemented in SoBoolOperation, SoCalculator, SoComposeMatrix, SoComposeRotation, SoComposeRotationFromTo, SoComposeVec2f, SoComposeVec3f, SoComposeVec4f, SoComputeBoundingBox, SoConcatenate, SoCounter, SoDecomposeMatrix, SoDecomposeRotation, SoDecomposeVec2f, SoDecomposeVec3f, SoDecomposeVec4f, SoElapsedTime, SoFieldConverter, SoGate, SoInterpolate, SoInterpolateFloat, SoInterpolateRotation, SoInterpolateVec2f, SoInterpolateVec3f, SoInterpolateVec4f, SoOnOff, SoOneShot, SoSelectOne, SoTimeCounter, SoTransformVec3f, and SoTriggerAny.
void SoEngine::writeOutputTypes (SoOutput * out) [protected]
Writes the types of engine outputs for extension engines (i.e. engines not built in to Coin).
