16.13. Examples

This section includes three examples of node kits. The first example uses two SoShapeKits. The second example, with detailed comments, uses an SoWrapperKit SoWrapperKit SoWrapperKit and an SoSceneKit SoSceneKit SoSceneKit that contains an SoLightKit SoLightKit SoLightKit and an SoCameraKit SoCameraKit SoCameraKit . The third example uses various node kits as well as an SoEventCallback SoEventCallback SoEventCallback with an associated function for animating the balance scale.

Example 16.1, “ Simple Use of Node Kits uses node kits to create two 3D words and shows use of node kit methods to access the fields of the “material” and “transform” parts of the shape kits. It uses a calculator engine and an elapsed time engine to make the words change color and fly around the screen. Figure 16.13, “ Using an SoShapeKit with Engines shows two images from this example.

Example 16.3, “ Using Node Kits to Create a Motion Hierarchy creates a balance scale using node kits and their motion hierarchies. Figure 16.15, “ A Balance Scale Created with Node Kits shows the balance scale created by this example.


Example 16.3.  Using Node Kits to Create a Motion Hierarchy

// This example illustrates the creation of motion hierarchies
// using nodekits by creating a model of a balance-style scale.

// It adds an SoEventCallback to the "callback" list in the 
// nodekit called 'support.'
// The callback will have the following response to events:
// Pressing right arrow key == lower the right pan
// Pressing left arrow key  == lower the left pan
// The pans are lowered by animating three rotations in the 
// motion hierarchy.
// Use an SoText2Kit to print instructions to the user as part
// of the scene.
