Detailed Description

The SoShape class is the superclass for geometry shapes.

The node types which have actual geometry to render inherits this class. For convenience, the SoShape class contains various common code used by the subclasses.

Member Enumeration Documentation

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

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoShape::SoShape ( void  )
protected

Constructor.

SoShape::~SoShape ( )
protectedvirtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

SoType SoShape::getTypeId ( void  ) const
virtual

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
}
}

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.

const SoFieldData * SoShape::getFieldData ( void  ) const
protectedvirtual
SbBool SoShape::affectsState ( void  ) const
virtual

Returns TRUE if the node could have any effect on the state during traversal.

If it returns FALSE, no data in the traversal-state will change from the pre-traversal state to the post-traversal state. The SoSeparator node will for instance return FALSE, as it pushes and pops the state before and after traversal of its children. All SoShape nodes will also return FALSE, as just pushing out geometry data to the rendering engine won't affect the actual rendering state.

The default method returns TRUE, on a "better safe than sorry" philosophy.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

virtual
void SoShape::getBoundingBox ( SoGetBoundingBoxAction action)
virtual

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculates their bounding box also overrides this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLVertexShape, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoNurbsCurve, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoIndexedLineSet, SoVRMLVertexLine, SoVRMLVertexPoint, SoIndexedPointSet, SoLineSet, SoPointSet, and SoVRMLPointSet.

void SoShape::callback ( SoCallbackAction action)
virtual

Reimplemented from SoNode.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLVertexShape, SoVRMLVertexLine, and SoVRMLVertexPoint.

void SoShape::computeBBox ( SoAction action,
SbBox3f box,
SbVec3f center 
)
pure virtual

Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let the SoShape superclass know the exact size and weighted center point of the shape's bounding box.

The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in the local coordinate system.

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::getBoundingBox().)

The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while center is undefined upon function entry.

Implemented in SoImage, SoText3, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLText, SoCylinder, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoCone, SoAsciiText, SoNurbsSurface, SoText2, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoVRMLVertexPoint, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoNurbsCurve, SoVRMLCylinder, SoCube, SoVRMLCone, SoFaceSet, SoQuadMesh, SoLineSet, SoIndexedShape, SoPointSet, SoSphere, SoTriangleStripSet, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLSphere, SoVRMLIndexedShape, and SoVRMLIndexedLine.

void SoShape::getPrimitiveCount ( SoGetPrimitiveCountAction action)
virtual

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the action.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculates their primitive count also overrides this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

Reimplemented in SoMarkerSet, SoImage, SoText3, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoCone, SoCylinder, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoVRMLText, SoAsciiText, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoNurbsSurface, SoText2, SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoVRMLCylinder, SoVRMLVertexPoint, SoCube, SoNurbsCurve, SoVRMLCone, SoIndexedLineSet, SoFaceSet, SoIndexedFaceSet, SoIndexedTriangleStripSet, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoIndexedPointSet, SoLineSet, SoPointSet, SoQuadMesh, SoSphere, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLSphere, and SoTriangleStripSet.

void SoShape::getScreenSize ( SoState *const  state,
const SbBox3f boundingbox,
SbVec2s rectsize 
)
static

A convenience function that returns the size of a boundingbox projected onto the screen. Useful for SCREEN_SPACE complexity geometry.

float SoShape::getDecimatedComplexity ( SoState state,
float  complexity 
)
static

Not implemented in Coin. Should probably have been private in TGS Inventor API.

const SoBoundingBoxCache * SoShape::getBoundingBoxCache ( void  ) const

Return the bounding box cache for this shape. It might return NULL if no bounding box cache has been created. If not NULL, the caller must check if the cache is valid before using it. This can be done using SoCache::isValid().

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since
Coin 2.0
float SoShape::getComplexityValue ( SoAction action)

void SoShape::generatePrimitives ( SoAction action)
protectedpure virtual

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoCallbackAction. It is invoked from SoShape::callback(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::callback().)

The subclass implementations uses the convenience methods SoShape::beginShape(), SoShape::shapeVertex(), and SoShape::endShape(), with SoDetail instances, to pass the primitives making up the shape back to the caller.

Implemented in SoImage, SoText3, SoVRMLElevationGrid, SoVRMLText, SoVRMLExtrusion, SoCylinder, SoIndexedNurbsSurface, SoAsciiText, SoCone, SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet, SoNurbsSurface, SoText2, SoIndexedNurbsCurve, SoIndexedFaceSet, SoNurbsCurve, SoVRMLCylinder, SoCube, SoIndexedTriangleStripSet, SoVRMLCone, SoFaceSet, SoIndexedPointSet, SoQuadMesh, SoVRMLIndexedLineSet, SoLineSet, SoPointSet, SoSphere, SoTriangleStripSet, SoVRMLBox, SoVRMLSphere, and SoVRMLPointSet.

void SoShape::beginShape ( SoAction *const  action,
const TriangleShape  shapetype,
SoDetail *const  detail = NULL 
)
protected

This method is used to generate primitives for a shape. It's typically called from a node's generatePrimitives() method. If you have your own shape and want to write a generatePrimitives() method for that shape, it's probably a good idea to take a peek in the generatePrimitives() method for a similar shape in Coin.

generatePrimitives() can contain several beginShape()/endShape() sequences. shapeVertex() is used for each vertex between beginShape() and endShape(). For instance, to generate primitives for a triangle you'd do something like this:

SoPrimitiveVertex vertex;

this->beginShape(action, SoShape::POLYGON);
vertex.setPoint(SbVec3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
this->shapeVertex(&vertex);
vertex.setPoint(SbVec3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
this->shapeVertex(&vertex);
vertex.setPoint(SbVec3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f));
this->shapeVertex(&vertex);
this->endShape();

Note that the SoPrimitiveVertex instance can simply be placed on the stack and not allocated. SoShape will copy the needed information when you call shapeVertex().

Before calling shapeVertex(), you can set extra information for the SoPrimitiveVertex, including normal, material index, and texture coordinates.

This method is slightly different from its counterpart from the original Open Inventor library, as this method has an SoDetail as the last argument, and not an SoFaceDetail. This is because we accept more TriangleShape types, and the detail might be a SoFaceDetail or a SoLineDetail. There is no use sending in a SoPointDetail, as nothing will be done with it.
