Remarks

This class can be used to interactively draw an ellipse on screen.

When the ellipse is finished, an event is raised to notify the application (see OIV.Inventor.Drawers.SoPolyLineScreenDrawer.onFinish ). Points are returned as normalized coordinates in the range -1..1, which is conveniently the default view volume for an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoOrthographicCamera node.

The line color is specified by the color field in the parent class OIV.Inventor.Drawers.SoPolyLineScreenDrawer.

Please see OIV.Inventor.Drawers.SoPolyLineScreenDrawer for general notes and code example.

Ellipse specific notes:

  • The ellipse can be specified by the 2 corners of its bounding box (default) or by its center and one corner of its bounding box (see OIV.Inventor.Drawers.SoEllipseScreenDrawer.CreationMethods).

  • The simplificationThreshold field does not apply to this node. The number of points in the ellipse is specified using the OIV.Inventor.Drawers.SoEllipseScreenDrawer.nbPoint field.

  • The isClosed field does apply to this node (but false is not very useful).

  • If user finishes an ellipse, then the next click will automatically clear the polyline (begin a new ellipse).

  • SbEventHandlers:

    • OnStart : Triggered on LeftMouseDown input event.

    • OnMove : Triggered on MouseMove input events (after Start).

    • OnFinish : Triggered on LeftMouseUp input event.

USAGE

  • Press and drag left mouse to draw the ellipse.

  • Release to finish the ellipse.

  • Press Escape to cancel construction of the ellipse.
