Detailed Description

Special separator that performs locate highlighting.

This is a subclass of SoSeparator that redraws itself in a different color when the cursor is over the contents of the separator.

The redraw happens for that separator only and not the entire window (redraw along the handle event pick path) and in the front buffer, to efficiently track the mouse motion. The highlighted redraw overrides the emissive and/or diffuse color of the subgraph based on the field values in this node.

NOTE: when using SoLightModel::BASE_COLOR (to turn lighting off) only the diffuse color will be used to render objects, so EMISSIVE_DIFFUSE must be used for this node to have any effect.

Limitations:

• When using a SceneExaminer, subgraph can remain highlighted after switching from selection mode to viewing mode.
• When using an examiner viewer or a SceneExaminer, subgraph can remain unhighlighted when switching from viewing mode to selection mode until the mouse is moved.

• The SceneOrbiter does not have such limitation.

  To override the default mode (off), set environment variable IV_ALLOW_LOCATE_HIGHLIGHT to 1. This will allow locate highlighting to happen by default.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT

LocateHighlight {

boundingBoxCaching	AUTO
renderCulling	AUTO
pickCulling	AUTO
mode	OFF
style	EMISSIVE
color	0.3 0.3 0.3
fastEditing	DISABLE

}

ACTION BEHAVIOR

SoHandleEventAction
Checks to see if the cursor moves onto or off of the contents of the separator, and redraws appropriately (if mode is AUTO), otherwise traverses as a normal separator.

SoGLRenderAction
Redraws either highlighted (if cursor is over the contents of the separator when mode == AUTO or always if mode == ON), otherwise traverses as a normal separator.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Modes

enum SoLocateHighlight::Modes

Possible values for the mode.

Enumerator
AUTO	Highlight when mouse is over.
ON	Always highlight.
OFF	Never highlight (default)

Definition at line 151 of file SoLocateHighlight.h.

Styles

enum SoLocateHighlight::Styles

Possible values for draw style.

Enumerator
EMISSIVE	Changes emissive color only (default)
EMISSIVE_DIFFUSE	Changes emissive and diffuse colors.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoLocateHighlight()

SoLocateHighlight::SoLocateHighlight

(

)

Creates a LocateHighlight node with default settings.

Member Function Documentation

getClassTypeId()

static SoType SoLocateHighlight::getClassTypeId ( )

static

Returns the type identifier for this class.

getTypeId()

virtual SoType SoLocateHighlight::getTypeId ( ) const

virtual

Returns the type identifier for this specific instance.

Reimplemented from SoSeparator.

Reimplemented in SoWWWAnchor.

turnOffCurrentHighlight()

static SoDEPRECATED void SoLocateHighlight::turnOffCurrentHighlight ( SoGLRenderAction *  action )

static

This will de-highlight the currently highlighted node if any.

this should be called when the cursor leaves a window or a mode changes happen which would prevent a highlighted node from receiving more mouse motion events. The GL render action used to render into that window needs to be passed to correctly un-highlight.
