SyntaxThe SoRotor type exposes the following members.
ConstructorsMethods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AffectsState | Returns true if a node has an effect on the state during traversal. |
| Callback | (Inherited from SoRotation.) |
| Copy | Calls Copy(false). (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Copy(Boolean) | Creates and returns an exact copy of the node. |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer) | Calls CopyFieldValues(fc, false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer, Boolean) | Copies the contents of fc's fields into this object's fields. |
| Dispose |
Releases all resources used by SoDisposable.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| Distribute | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| DoAction | (Inherited from SoRotation.) |
| EnableNotify | Notification at this Field Container is enabled (if flag == true) or disabled (if flag == false). |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FieldsAreEqual | Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. |
| Get | Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. |
| GetAllFields | Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. |
| GetAlternateRep | This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type). |
| GetBoundingBox | (Inherited from SoRotation.) |
| GetEventIn | Returns a the eventIn with the given name. |
| GetEventOut | Returns the eventOut with the given name. |
| GetField | Returns a the field of this object whose name is fieldName. |
| GetFieldName | Returns the name of the given field in the fieldName argument. |
| GetFields | Appends references to all of this object's fields to resultList, and returns the number of fields appended. |
| GetHashCode |
Overrides GetHashCode().
(Inherited from SoNetBase.) |
| GetMatrix | (Inherited from SoRotation.) |
| GetName | Returns the name of an instance. |
| GetPrimitiveCount | (Inherited from SoRotation.) |
| GetRenderEngineMode | Returns the supported Render engine mode. |
| GetRenderUnitID | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GetStringName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GLRender | (Inherited from SoRotation.) |
| GLRenderBelowPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GLRenderInPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GLRenderOffPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsCleanup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsSetup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| HandleEvent | (Inherited from SoTransformation.) |
| HasDefaultValues | Returns true if all of the object's fields have their default values. |
| IsBoundingBoxIgnoring | This method is used by getBoundingBox action traversal to know if the current node must be traversed or not, ie the bounding should be ignored. |
| IsNotifyEnabled | Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. |
| IsOverride | Returns the state of the override flag. |
| IsSynchronizable | Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. |
| Pick | (Inherited from SoRotation.) |
| RayPick | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Search | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Set | Sets one or more fields in this object to the values specified in the given string, which should be a string in the Open Inventor file format. |
| SetName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| SetOverride | Turns the override flag on or off. |
| SetSynchronizable | Sets this to be a ScaleViz synchronizable object. |
| SetToDefaults | Sets all fields in this object to their default values. |
| ToString |
Converts this SoBase structure to a human readable string.
(Inherited from SoBase.) |
| Touch | Marks an instance as modified, simulating a change to it. |
| Write | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IsDisposable | ISafeDisposable interface implementation.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| on | Allows applications to enable or disable the motion easily. |
| rotation | Rotation specification. |
| speed | Defines the speed of the rotor, in revolutions per second. |
| UserData |
Gets or sets the user data to be contained by the field container.
(Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
RemarksThe OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoRotor class is derived from OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoRotation, so it applies a rotation to the current transformation. Using engines connected to the realTime global field, the rotation value is animated over time, achieving a spinning effect. The period of the rotation can be adjusted by changing the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoRotor.speed field.
The current rotation at any time is available in the rotation field, inherited from OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoRotation. This field can also be set to specify the axis of rotation.
Note that unless a non-zero rotation is specified for the rotation, the node will not know which axis to use. For example, to set a rotor to spin about the y-axis, use the following:
SoRotor rotor = new SoRotor(); rotor.rotation.SetValue( new SbVec3f(0,1,0), 0.1f );
FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT
Rotor {
| rotation | 0 0 1 0 |
| speed | 1 |
| on | true |
ACTION BEHAVIOR
OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGLRenderAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoCallbackAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetBoundingBoxAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoRayPickAction Concatenates current rotation value with the current transformation matrix.
OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetMatrixAction Returns transformation matrix specified by the rotation.
