RemarksOIV.Inventor.Actions.SoLineHighlightRenderAction is a render action which renders the specified scene graph, then renders each selected object again in wireframe. If there is no renderable geometry in a selected object, no highlight is rendered for that object.
Selected objects are specified by the first selection node (OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSelection or OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoExtSelection) node in the scene to which this action is applied. If there is no selection node in the scene graph, then no objects will be highlighted.
The application must explicitly tell Open Inventor to use a highlight render action in place of the default OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGLRenderAction in the OIV.Inventor.SoSceneManager class using the setGLRenderAction() method. The viewer classes provide a convenience setGLRenderAction() method that calls OIV.Inventor.SoSceneManager (see e.g. OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWinRenderArea).
For convenience, the viewer classes also provide the redrawOnSelectionChange() method. This method attaches a sensor to the specified selection node and automatically schedules a redraw if the set of selected objects is modified.
Other highlight effects are available including "halo" highlighting.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example of how a line highlight can be specified for a particular selection node and render area.
SoSelection selectionNode = new SoSelection(); . . . SoWinExaminerViewer viewer = new SoWinExaminerViewer(); viewer.SetSceneGraph( selectionNode ); viewer.SetGLRenderAction( new SoLineHighlightRenderAction() ); viewer.RedrawOnSelectionChange( selectionNode );
