SoDBSetRealTimeInterval Method

The database automatically creates one global field when () is called.

Namespace: OIV.Inventor
Assembly: OIV.Inventor (in OIV.Inventor.dll) Version: 2024.1.1.0 (2024.1.1)
Syntax
public static void SetRealTimeInterval(
	SbTime deltaT
)

Parameters

deltaT
Type: OIV.InventorSbTime
Remarks

The realTime global field, which is of type OIV.Inventor.Fields.SoSFTime, can be connected to engines and nodes for real-time animation. The database will automatically update the realTime global field 12 times per second, using a timer sensor. Typically, there will be a node sensor on the root of the scene graph which schedules a redraw whenever the scene graph changes; by updating the realTime global field periodically, scene graphs that are connected to realTime (and are therefore animating) will be redrawn. The rate at which the database updates realTime can be controlled with this routine. Passing in a zero time will disable automatic update of realTime . If there are no enabled connections from the realTime field to any other field, the sensor is automatically disabled. Note that the OIV.Inventor.SoSceneManager class automatically updates realTime immediately after redrawing, which will result in as high a frame rate as possible if the scene is continuously animating. This method ensures that engines that do not continuously animate (such as OIV.Inventor.Engines.SoTimeCounter) will eventually be scheduled. See also OIV.Inventor.SoDB.GetRealTimeInterval(). The realTime global field can be accessed like this:

SoSFTime realTimeField = (SoSFTime)SoDB.GetGlobalField( "realTime" );
