This nodekit is used to organize camera, (OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoCameraKit), light, (OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoLightKit), and object, (OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoShapeKit, OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit, and OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoWrapperKit) nodekits into a scene. A scene is composed of a list of cameras, a list of lights, and a list of children. There are three parts created by this nodekit: cameraList , lightList , and childList .

The cameraList part is a list part of OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoCameraKit nodes. The list itself is an OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart, and since only one camera can be active at a time, the container of the list part is an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSwitch node. Use OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSceneKit.SetCameraNumber(System.Int32), and the scene kit will set the switch to make that camera active.

The lightList part is a list of OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoLightKit nodes. The lightList is used to illuminate the objects contained in the childList part.

The childList part contains a set of OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit nodes. You can add any kind of OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit to this list, including OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoShapeKit and OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoWrapperKit. Since each OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit in turn contains a childList , this part is used to describe a hierarchical scene. (See the reference page for OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit). All members of childList are lit by the lights in lightList and rendered by the active camera in cameraList .

NOTES:

• By default the viewer will not find the camera inside the OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoCameraKit. To allow the viewer to find this camera the application must explicitly allow searching inside nodekits by calling the OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoBaseKit static method setSearchingChildren. If the viewer does not find a camera in the scene graph it will create one automatically and attach to the created one.

• If the viewer does find the camera inside the OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoCameraKit, the viewer will not call its viewAll() method automatically. The application must make this call.

  PARTS

  (OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart) cameraList This part is an OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart It has a container that is an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSwitch node. The list may contain only OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoCameraKit nodekits. The active child of the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSwitch is the active camera. This part is NULL by default, but is automatically created whenever you add a camera, as with setPart("cameraList[0]", myNewCamera) .

  (OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart) lightList This part is an OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart that uses an defines an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoGroup as its container The list may contain only OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoLightKit nodekits. Add SoLightKits to this list and they will light the members of the childList of this OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSceneKit. This part is NULL by default, but is automatically created when you add a light.

  (OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart) childList This part is an OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart that uses an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoGroup for its container. The list may contain only OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit nodekits or nodekits derived from OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit (e.g., OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoShapeKit and OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoWrapperKit). These children represent the objects in the scene. This part is NULL by default, but is automatically created whenever you add a child to the childList. Also, when asked to build a member of the childList, the scenekit will build an OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoShapeKit by default. So if the childList part is NULL, and you call: getPart("childList[0]", true) . the scene kit will create the childList and add an OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoShapeKit as the new element in the list.
