Detailed Description

Directional icon you rotate and translate by dragging with the mouse.

SoDirectionalLightDragger is a composite dragger. It looks like a sun with a large arrow coming out of it. The arrow can be rotated about the sun by dragging with the mouse; its orientation is given by the rotation field. You can also drag the sun (and the arrow with it) through 3-space. The location is stored in the translation field.

The dragger uses an SoRotateSphericalDragger for changing the rotation. Instead of using the default spherical geometry, this dragger uses an arrow shape.

The sun is an SoDragPointDragger. Dragging it edits the translation field; conversely, if you change the translation field the sun will move to that new location, bringing the arrow with it. The sun looks and behaves just like the sun in an SoPointLightDragger, as does the material part. See the SoPointLightDragger reference page for details.

Remember: This is not a light source! It just looks like one. If you want to move a light with this dragger, you can either:

You can change the parts in any instance of this dragger using setPart(). The default part geometries are defined as resources for this SoDirectionalLightDragger class. They are detailed in the Dragger Resources section of the online reference page for this class. You can make your program use different default resources for the parts by copying the file $OIVHOME/data/draggerDefaults/directionalLightDragger.iv into your own directory, editing the file, and then setting the environment variable SO_DRAGGER_DIR to be a path to that directory.

See SoDragger for more information about using and customizing draggers, including code examples, using draggers in an immersive VR environment and using WYSIWYG draggers.
