Detailed Description

Abstract base class for DialogViz components

This is the abstract base class for all DialogViz (user interface) nodes. It defines common methods and fields that all DialogViz nodes inherit. It is also used to initialize DialogViz.

SoDialogViz::init must be called before creating any DialogViz nodes.

The enable field allows/disallows use of the node.

The label field specifies the string contained in the left part of a control or the text on a button. See individual components for their specific usage of this field.

An auditor ID is a name that identifies a specific component and is specified using the auditorID field. Generally, the auditor ID should be unique. It allows you to access a specific component from your application program.

You can use the auditor ID to specify a specific component in order to modify it. For example, cause a particular check box to be checked.
When an auditor is called, you can use the auditor ID to determine which specific component was modified/interacted with. For example, you can determine which slider was moved.

DialogViz components can be used to build 2D and/or 3D interfaces. A DialogViz interface definition can be read from an Inventor file or created programmatically. To build a 2D user interface, call the buildDialog() method. To build a 3D user interface, insert the DialogViz nodes in your scene graph. Note that when using 3D mode, DialogViz nodes are fully built only after the first rendering traversal is complete.

When using components as 3D objects in your scene, DialogViz allows the user to customize the look for each type of component using DialogViz skin files. DialogViz components are draggers, and draggers allow their parts to be redefined. A skin file redefines the 3D geometry for different parts of a component. To use your own skin files, use the setSkin() method, or set the DIALOGVIZ_SKIN environment variable to specify the path/name of the skin files directory. By default, the DialogViz skin directory is located at $OIVHOME/data/DialogViz/Skins/ and the used skin name is "default". A skin is a collection of several files defining DialogViz component geometry, colors, etc... For example, the skin file TextProperties.iv is used by all of the DialogViz components. This skin file can be useful for applying a font, a color, etc. to the text nodes.

The default font for DialogViz components in 2D mode is:

Windows systems: the default desktop font
UNIX systems: the font is set to -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal–12-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1. If not found, the font is set by the system to a default font (In this case sizing problems may occur).

In 3D mode, the font is defined in the TextProperties.iv Inventor file.

2D Mode Limitation: We do not recommend the use of ref(), unref(), or unrefNoDelete() when manipulating DialogViz nodes in 2D mode. However, these methods can be used as long as you don't destroy and re-create nodes or change the hierarchical structure of components.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ LabelAlignment

enum SoDialogViz::LabelAlignment

Enumerator
LEFT	Label is left aligned.
CENTER	Label is center aligned.
RIGHT	Label is right aligned (default).

Definition at line 182 of file SoDialogViz.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ finish()

static void SoDialogViz::finish ( )

static

Shuts down the DialogViz module, which includes freeing any internal static memory that it allocated.

Finish methods must be called in the reverse order of the init method calls:

SoDialogViz::finish(); 
SoXt::finish(); 
... 

◆ getProductName()

static const char * SoDialogViz::getProductName ( )

static

Returns a character string identifying the name of the extension.

◆ getSkinsDirectories()

static SbString SoDialogViz::getSkinsDirectories ( )

static

Returns the skins directory.

◆ getVersion()

static SoDEPRECATED const char * SoDialogViz::getVersion ( )

static

Returns a character string identifying the version of the extension.

◆ init()

static void SoDialogViz::init ( )

static

Initalizes the DialogViz classes.

◆ isInitialized()

static bool SoDialogViz::isInitialized ( )

static

Returns TRUE if module is currently initialized.

◆ loadFromFile()

static SoDialogViz * SoDialogViz::loadFromFile	(	SbString	filename,
		SbString	auditorID = `""`
	)

static

Loads a DialogViz node from an Inventor file.

Parameters

filename	Specifies the full path of a file containing DialogViz nodes. This file is loaded.
auditorID	The first DialogViz node in the file having this auditorID is returned. If this parameter is not supplied or if no DialogViz nodes having this auditorID are found in the file, the first DialogViz node in the file is returned.

◆ setFont()

static void SoDialogViz::setFont ( DG_FONT font )

static

Sets the DialogViz font.

◆ setSkin()

static void SoDialogViz::setSkin ( SbString skinName )

static

Sets the directory for 3D DialogViz component skins.

The directory is searched for in the current directory (usually, but not always the directory from which the application was started), and then in $OIVHOME/data/DialogViz/skins. Returns TRUE if the specified directory exists, FALSE otherwise. The default skin to use can be set using the DIALOGVIZ_SKIN environment variable.

◆ setSkinsDirectories()

static void SoDialogViz::setSkinsDirectories ( SbString directories )

static

Sets a list of directories where to search for skins.

Each directory in the list must be separated by a semicolon (;). Using this method overrides the DIALOGVIZ_SKINS_DIR environment value.

Member Data Documentation

◆ auditorID

SoSFString SoDialogViz::auditorID

Specifies the auditor ID of the node.

Default is empty string.

Definition at line 199 of file SoDialogViz.h.

◆ enable

SoSFBool SoDialogViz::enable

Enables component.

Default is TRUE. If set to FALSE, the component is grayed out and is not usable.

Definition at line 170 of file SoDialogViz.h.

◆ label

SoSFString SoDialogViz::label

Label string of the element.

Default is an empty string. This field is used by all derived classes except for SoMenuSeparator, SoMenuBar, SoDialogCustom, SoDialogSeparator, and SoDialogGroup. This field is the title of the window created by an SoTopLevelDialog. This field supports the newline (\n) character except for some derived classes such as SoMenuItem. It supports the tab (\t) character as well.

Definition at line 180 of file SoDialogViz.h.

◆ labelAlignment

SoSFEnum SoDialogViz::labelAlignment

Specifies the label alignment.

Default is RIGHT.
