Detailed Description

Abstract base class for simplifying scene graphs.

This class is the base class of the simplify actions that produce versions of a scene graph with fewer triangles. The simplify actions can generate either several simplified levels of the original geometry, grouped by a LevelOfSimplification node, or just one reduced level of detail. If a single level is computed, the action creates a single IndexedTriangleFaceSet.

Each simplified sub-levels can be stored in regular separators or in WWWInline nodes. In this case, the urlName defines the full url to use for each WWWInline. For instance if urlName = "dir/file", the action will generate "dir/file_1.wrl","dir/file_2.wrl", and so on. When a simplify action generates Level of Simplification nodes, the range field of each Level of Simplification node can be given globally in the range field of the simplify action. If the simplify action range field is not set, the simplify action computes it automatically for each LevelOfSimplification node. In this case, the sizeFactor field can be used to customize the range computation.

A minimum number of triangles can be set to stop the simplification when the object becomes too small. Specifying 0.0 for the last level inserts an empty node in the scene graph. This allows you to avoid rendering an object that is too small or too far from the viewer.

Available simplification actions are:

SoGlobalSimplifyAction
Traverses the scene graph and collects all the triangles into a single shape which is then simplified.
SoShapeSimplifyAction
Traverses the scene graph and simplifies each shape independently.
SoReorganizeAction
Reorganizes the scene graph by grouping shapes with common properties, then combines those shapes in a single shape and runs the simplifier on it.
