Remarks

Performs a generic traversal of a scene graph or path. In many cases a "custom" action can be implemented using OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoCallbackAction with much less complexity than deriving a completely new action class.

The application can specify delegate methods that will be called when the action traverses a node of the specified class or a derived class. For example a callback for the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCone class will only be called for OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCone nodes, but a callback for the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape class will be called for any type of shape node.

This makes OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoCallbackAction flexible and very convenient for "visiting" a set of nodes, especially when you only need the node itself and not a path to the node. For example, to count all the shapes in the scene graph. It is possible to get the path to the node being visited (see GetCurPath()), but OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoSearchAction may be more convenient for getting a path to one or a small number of nodes.

In addition, delegatemethods can be registered to collect the primitives (trangles, lines and points) generated by shapes in the scene graph. These primitives are the actual geometry if the shape contains triangles, lines or points, else they represent or approximate the actual geometry. NOTE: Most, but not all, shapes can generate primitives. See below for a complete list. Triangle primitives are used for all surfaces (such as cubes, face sets, or 3D text), line segment primitives are used for line shapes, and point primitives are used for point shapes. Note that the type of primitives generated for a shape is the same, regardless of drawing style or other properties.

Most of the methods on this class access information from the traversal state. They should be called only by delegatefunctions that are invoked during traversal, so there is a valid state to work with.

EXAMPLE

Apply a callback action to visit all shape nodes.

Copy

SoCallbackAction action = new SoCallbackAction();
action.AddPreCallback     ( typeof(SoShape), new SoCallbackAction.CallbackActionCB(NodeCallback) );
action.AddTriangleCallback( typeof(SoShape), new SoCallbackAction.TriangleCB(TriangleCallback) );
action.Apply( root );

This method will be called for each shape node in the scene graph.

Copy

SoCallbackAction.Responses NodeCallback(SoCallbackAction action, SoNode node)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Shape \"" + node.GetName() + "\": " + node.GetType());
   return SoCallbackAction.Responses.CONTINUE;
}

This method will be called for each triangle in the shape node.

Copy

void TriangleCallback( SoCallbackAction action,
             ref SoPrimitiveVertex vertex1,
             ref SoPrimitiveVertex vertex2,
             ref SoPrimitiveVertex vertex3)
{
   Console.WriteLine("  Triangle:");
   printVertex( vertex1, "1" );
   printVertex( vertex2, "2" );
   printVertex( vertex3, "3" );
}
void printVertex( SoPrimitiveVertex vertex, String label )
{
   SbVec3f point = vertex.Point;
   Console.WriteLine("    Vert{0} = ({1}, {2}, {3})", label, point[0], point[1], point[2]);
}

Example output:

Shape "": SoCone
 Triangle:
   Vert1 = 0.0, -1.0, -1.0
   Vert2 = 0.0, 1.0, -0.0
   Vert3 = 0.38268346, -1.0, -0.9238795
 Triangle:
   Vert1 = 0.38268346, -1.0, -0.9238795
   Vert2 = 0.0, 1.0, -0.0
   Vert3 = 0.0, 1.0, -0.0
