Remarks

This node defines the current drawing style for all subsequent shape nodes in a scene graph. OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoDrawStyle specifies how primitives should be rendered.

Draw style

The drawing style has no effect on picking or callback primitive generation. In particular, geometry with style INVISIBLE is not rendered but is still pickable. It can be useful to put, for example, an invisible sphere around an assembly to ensure that it is always picked as a unit.

Style INVISIBLE should generally not be used to "turn off" geometry. It is more efficient to put an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSwitch node above the geometry and all its associated nodes. Using the Switch's whichChild field to "turn off" geometry avoids traversing any of the associated nodes.

Point size and line width notes

  • The default point size and line width are both 0, which means to use the OpenGL default value (1 in both cases). Point size and line width valuess greater than zero are considered to be specified in printer's points, where 1 inch = 72 printer's points. However the default pixels-per-inch (managed by OIV.Inventor.SbViewportRegion) is also 72. So effectively point size and line width are specified in pixels unless the application specifically sets a different pixels-per-inch value.

  • The maximum line width is hardware dependent. Only width 1 is guaranteed. An application could simulate wider lines using polygons if necessary.

  • If line antialiasing is disabled (which is the default), then OpenGL rounds the specified line width to the nearest integer. If rounding results in the value 0, it is as if the line width was set to 1.

  • When the specified point size and/or line width is greater than zero, the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoDrawStyle node will have a dependency on the OIV.Inventor.Elements.SoViewportRegionElement (for the pixels-per-inch value). As a result render caches may be invalidated when the viewport size changes, e.g. if the drawing window is resized.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT

DrawStyle {
style FILLED
pointSize 0
lineWidth 0
linePattern 0xffff
linePatternScaleFactor 1
}

ACTION BEHAVIOR

OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGLRenderAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoCallbackAction Sets the current drawing style. Sets: OIV.Inventor.Elements.SoDrawStyleElement, OIV.Inventor.Elements.SoPointSizeElement, OIV.Inventor.Elements.SoLineWidthElement, OIV.Inventor.Elements.SoLinePatternElement.
