class SoExtSelectionP

Enum for type of lasso selection.

Enumerator:

NOLASSO

Makes this node behave like a normal SoSelection node.

LASSO

Select objects using a lasso. Selections can be aborted by the end-user by hitting the END key on the keyboard.

RECTANGLE

Select objects using a rectangle. Selections can be aborted by the end-user by hitting the END key on the keyboard.

Enum for specifying how objects are selected.

Enumerator:

FULL_BBOX

The entire bounding box must be inside the lasso/rectangle.

PART_BBOX

Some part of the bounding box must intersect the lasso/rectangle.

FULL

All primitives must be completely inside the lasso/rectangle.

PART

Some primitive must intersect the lasso/rectangle.

Enum for specifying selection mode.

Enumerator:

ALL_SHAPES

All primitives inside the lasso/rectangle will be selected.

VISIBLE_SHAPES

All visible primitives inside the lasso/rectangle will be selected.

Constructor.

Destructor.

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

Reimplemented from SoSelection.

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for run-time type checking and 'downward' casting.

Usage example:

  void foo(SoNode * node)
  {
    if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
      SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
    }
    else if (node->getTypeId().isOfType(SoGroup::getClassTypeId())) {
      SoGroup * group = (SoGroup *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
    }
  }

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

Reimplemented from SoSelection.

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Reimplemented from SoSelection.

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoSelection.

Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.

Reimplemented from SoSelection.

Specifies whether the overlay planes should be used to render the lasso.

This method has been obsoleted in Coin, as most graphics cards comes without support for overlay rendering. A better strategy is to just 'overlay' the lasso graphics on top of the scene after everything else has been rendered -- and this is the strategy we apply in Coin.

Returns whether overlay planes are used to draw the lasso.

See also: useOverlay().

Returns the scene graph for overlay rendering. Will always return NULL in Coin, as this method has been obsoleted.

(It is probably used in TGS Inventor from the SoXt / SoWin libraries' So[Xt|Win]RenderArea class to fetch the overlay graph to draw, and as such should be treated as an internal method.)

Obsoleted in Coin, use SoExtSelection::setLassoColor() instead.

Obsoleted in Coin, use SoExtSelection::getLassoColor() instead.

See also: setOverlayLassoColorIndex().

Sets the lasso/rectangle line color. Default value is (1.0, 1.0, 1.0).

Returns the lasso color.

Sets the lasso line width. Default value is 1.0.

Returns the lasso line width.

Sets the lasso line pattern. Default value is 0xf0f0.

Returns the lasso line pattern.

Sets whether the lasso should be animated by scrolling the line pattern.

Returns whether the lasso is set to animate or not.

Action method for SoHandleEventAction.

Inspects the event data from action, and processes it if it is something which this node should react to.

Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how event handling is done also overrides this method.

Reimplemented from SoSelection.

SGI Open Inventor v2.1 obsoleted support for SoGLRenderAction::addMethod(). Instead, GLRender() might be called directly, and to optimize traversal, the SoSeparator node calls GLRenderBelowPath whenever the path code is BELOW_PATH or NO_PATH (path code is guaranteed not to change). To be compatible with SGI's Inventor (and thereby also TGS') we have chosen to follow their implementation in this respect.

SoSeparator::GLRenderBelowPath() do not traverse its children using SoChildList::traverse(), but calls GLRenderBelowPath() directly for all its children.

Reimplemented from SoSeparator.

The lasso selection filter callback is called when a node is about to be selected, and enables the application programmer to return a new path to be used when selecting. The new returned path should not be ref'd. SoExtSelection will ref() and unref() it.

To cancel the selection, return NULL from the callback.

if callonlyifselectable is TRUE, the callback will only be invoked when the path to the new node pass through the SoExtSelection node.

This method is specific to Coin, and is not part of TGS OIV.

Sets the callback that will be called for every triangle inside the lasso/rectangle when selecting.

The callback should return FALSE if it wants to continue being invoked. When the callback returns TRUE, the object/shape is selected, and no more callbacks will be invoked for the object.

See also: setLineSegmentFilterCallback, setPointFilterCallback

Sets the callback that will be called for every line segment inside the lasso/rectangle when selecting.

The callback should return FALSE if it wants to continue being invoked. When the callback returns TRUE, the object/shape is selected, and no more callbacks will be invoked for the object.

See also: setTriangleFilterCallback, setPointFilterCallback

Sets the callback that will be called for every point inside the lasso/rectangle when selecting.

The callback should return FALSE if it wants to continue being invoked. When the user returns TRUE, the object/shape is selected, and no more callbacks will be invoked for the object.

See also: setLineSegmentFilterCallback, setTriangleFilterCallback

Returns whether the SHIFT key was pressed during the latest user interaction. This is useful if you want to respect the shift policy while selecting primitives.

This method is specific to Coin, and is not part of TGS OIV.

Field for lasso type. Default value is SoExtSelection::NOLASSO.

Selections with type SoExtSelection::RECTANGLE or SoExtSelection::LASSO can be aborted by the end-user by hitting the END key on the keyboard.

Field for lasso policy. Default value is FULL_BBOX.

Field for lasso mode. Default value is ALL_SHAPES.

Set this field to VISIBLE_SHAPES to make only the primitives visible from the current viewpoint be selected.
