The public constructor, to be used by application programmers who want to instantiate the plain, standard SoQtPlaneViewer.

The destructor. Cleans up all internal resources used by the SoQtPlaneViewer instance.

A protected constructor, to be used by application programmers who want to extend the SoQtPlaneViewer.

Set view mode.

If the view mode is on, user events will be caught and used to influence the camera position / orientation. If view mode is off, all events in the viewer canvas (like for instance keypresses or mouse clicks and -movements) will be passed along to the scene graph.

Default is to have the view mode active.

See also

isViewing()

Reimplemented from SoQtFullViewer.

Set the camera we want the viewer to manipulate when interacting with the viewer controls.

The camera passed in as an argument to this method must already be part of the viewer's scene graph. You do not inject viewpoint cameras to the viewer with this method.

You should rather insert a camera into the scene graph first (if necessary, often one will be present already), then register it as the camera used by the viewer controls with this method.

If the application code doesn't explicitly set up a camera through this method, the viewer will automatically scan through the scene graph to find a camera to use. If no camera is available in the scene graph at all, it will set up its own camera.

getCamera()

Reimplemented from SoQtViewer.

Set whether or not the mouse cursor representation should be visible in the viewer canvas.

Default value is on.

isCursorEnabled()

Reimplemented from SoQtViewer.

This method returns the default name of a component widget class.

It should be overridden by derived non-abstract classes for the topmost widget in the component to have a proper name.

Reimplemented from SoQtRenderArea.

This method returns the default window caption string of the component.

It should be overridden by derived non-abstract classes so the window and pop-up menu will get a proper title.

Reimplemented from SoQtRenderArea.

This method returns the default icon title of the component.

It should be overridden by derived non-abstract classes so icons will get proper titles.

Reimplemented from SoQtRenderArea.

Toolkit-native events are tried to convert to Coin-generic events in the SoQtRenderArea::processEvent() method. If this succeeds, they are forwarded to this method.

This is a virtual method, and is overridden in its subclasses to catch events of particular interest to the viewer classes, for instance.

Return TRUE if the event was processed. If not it should be passed on further up in the inheritance hierarchy by the caller. This last point is extremely important to take note of if you are expanding the toolkit with your own viewer class.

This method is not part of the original SGI InventorXt API. Note that you can still override the toolkit-native processEvent() method instead of this 'generic' method.

Reimplemented from SoQtFullViewer.

Put the viewer in or out of 'waiting-to-seek' mode.

If the user performs a mouse button click when the viewer is in 'waiting-to-seek' mode, the camera will be repositioned so the camera focal point lies on the point of the geometry under the mouse cursor.

See also

isSeekMode(), setDetailSeek()

Reimplemented from SoQtViewer.

This method instantly redraws the normal (non-overlay) scene graph by calling SoSceneManager::render().

Subclasses may override this method to add their own rendering before or after Coin renders its scene graph.

The following is a complete example that demonstrates one way of adding both a background image and foreground (overlay) geometry to the 'normal' rendering:

// This example shows how to put a permanent background image on
// your viewer canvas, below the 3D graphics, plus overlay
// foreground geometry.  Written by mortene.

Set up the viewer buttons with pixmaps and event connections.

One important note if you want to override this method to add your own buttons to the list (in the explanation below, it is assumed that you know how virtual function table pointers are handled by C++):

createViewerButtons() is called (indirectly) from the constructors of the viewer classes. This means that you need to delay its invocation until your own subclass's constructor is run, because otherwise your re-implementation won't have been added to the internal virtual function table yet.

Delaying a superclass viewer from building its decorations is done by passing build==FALSE as the last argument of the protected constructors. You will then have to explicitly trigger the building in your own constructor.

Here's a minimal example that shows the steps needed to be able to override createViewerButtons() from SoQtExaminerViewer:

class MyExaminerViewer : public SoQtExaminerViewer {

public:
  MyExaminerViewer(QWidget * parent);

protected:
  virtual void createViewerButtons(QWidget * parent, SbPList * buttonlist);
};

MyExaminerViewer::MyExaminerViewer(QWidget * parent)
  : SoQtExaminerViewer(parent, NULL, TRUE,
                          SoQtFullViewer::BUILD_ALL, SoQtFullViewer::BROWSER,
                          // build == FALSE, to delay creation of decorations
                          FALSE)
{
  // Explicitly trigger the construction of viewer decorations.
  QWidget * widget = this->buildWidget(this->getParentWidget());
  this->setBaseWidget(widget);
}

void
MyExaminerViewer::createViewerButtons(QWidget * parent, SbPList * buttonlist)
{
  SoQtExaminerViewer::createViewerButtons(parent, buttonlist);
  // [now add your own button(s) to the buttonlist]
}

Reimplemented from SoQtFullViewer.

A function 'hook' / callback invoked just after the window for the component has been realized.

Override this if you need specific initialization for your own component or viewer class to happen right after it has been made visible, but remember to call upwards in the inheritance hierarchy:

void
MyLittleViewer::afterRealizeHook(void)
{
  <superclass>::afterRealizeHook();
  // [own initialization here]
}

Reimplemented from SoQtRenderArea.

This method can be overridden in subclasses if the final orientation of the camera after a seek should be something other than what is computed in SoQtViewer::seekToPoint(const SbVec3f & scenepos)
