Detailed Description

Multiple-value field containing any number of three-dimensional vectors.

A multiple-value field that contains any number of three-dimensional vectors.

SoMFVec3fs are written to file as one or more triples of floating point values separated by whitespace.

When more than one value is present, all of the values are enclosed in square brackets and separated by commas; for example:

   [ 0 0 0, 1.2 3.4 5.6, 98.6 -4e1 212 ]

Using the setValues() method:

Note: If you use the setValues() method to set a larger number of values than the field currently contains, Open Inventor will automatically allocate more memory. The total number of values in the field is increased as expected. However the converse is not true. If you use setValues() to set a smaller number of values than the field currently contains, you are simply overriding some of the values in the field. The total number of values in the field does not change. If you want to replace the current contents of the field with a smaller number of values, first call setNum( 0 ), then call setValues().

Using an Application-Supplied Array

The setValuesPointer() methods allow Open Inventor to directly use an array of values supplied by the application. The application data is not copied and the memory will not be deleted by Open Inventor unless enableDeleteValues() is called. NOTE: When setValuesPointer( 0, 0 ) is called, the previously set buffer and number of items are not reset. Call the deleteValues( 0 ) method instead to reset the field's content.

When using application data directly the values may be modified by changing the application memory and calling touch() to notify Open Inventor of the change. The values may also be modified using the usual methods (set1Value(), etc.)

However, note that some methods (setNum(), deleteValues(), insertSpace(), setValues(), set1Value(), setValue()) may force Open Inventor to allocate a larger block of memory to hold all the values. In this case, Open Inventor will allocate memory internally and copy the data. Modifying values in the application memory will not affect the field if Open Inventor has allocated new memory. The application is still responsible for freeing its memory (using free()) unless enableDeleteValues() has been called.

Example:

// Allocate memory for vertices
SbVec3f* vertices = new SbVec3f[NUM_VERTICES]; 
 
// Assign values to the vertices (application-specific code)
//...
 
// Set the field's value to vertices in application memory
SoVertexProperty* vertexProperty = new SoVertexProperty();
vertexProperty->vertex.setValuesPointer( NUM_VERTICES, vertices ); 
 
// Change application data and notify Open Inventor
vertices[5].setValue( 0, 1, 2 );
vertexProperty->vertex.touch();

setValuesPointer() [1/4]

void SoMFVec3f::setValuesPointer	(	int	num,
		const float *	userData
	)

Sets the field to contain the num values stored in userData array.

This array will not be copied into the field: it will be directly used by the field. If num and userData are not correctly specified, the results are undefined (and probably undesirable). param num is the number of values that userData contains and must be a positive integer. param userData is an array allocated by malloc or realloc and can be deallocated by free (no constructor or destructor is called). userData must not be NULL. Its size must be at least num*sizeof(valueType).

void SoMFVec3f::setValuesPointer	(	int	num,
		const SbVec3f *	userData
	)

Sets the field to contain the num values stored in userData array.

This array will not be copied into the field: it will be directly used by the field. If num and userData are not correctly specified, the results are undefined (and probably undesirable). param num is the number of values that userData contains and must be a positive integer. param userData is an array allocated by malloc or realloc and can be deallocated by free (no constructor or destructor is called). userData must not be NULL. Its size must be at least num*sizeof(valueType).

		SbVec3f *	userData
	)

See setValuesPointer(int, const SbVec3f *)

startEditing()

SbVec3f * SoMFVec3f::startEditing ( )

inline

Returns a pointer to the internally maintained array that can be modified.

The values in the array may be changed, but values cannot be added or removed. It is illegal to call any other editing methods between startEditing() and finishEditing() (e.g. set1Value(), setValue(), etc.). Fields, engines or sensors connected to this field and sensors are not notified that this field has changed until finishEditing() is called. Calling finishEditing() always sets the isDefault() flag to FALSE and informs engines and sensors that the field changed, even if none of the values actually were changed.
