SbProjector::SbProjector (void ) [protected]

The constructor initializes the working space matrix to an identity matrix.

virtual SbProjector::~SbProjector () [inline], [protected], [virtual]

Destructor is protected, as this is an abstract class.

virtual SbVec3f SbProjector::project (const SbVec2f & point) [pure virtual]

Project the 2D point from normalized viewport coordinates to a 3D point. The mapping will be done in accordance with the type of the projector.

Implemented in SbCylinderPlaneProjector, SbCylinderProjector, SbCylinderSectionProjector, SbCylinderSheetProjector, SbLineProjector, SbPlaneProjector, SbSpherePlaneProjector, SbSphereSectionProjector, and SbSphereSheetProjector.

void SbProjector::setViewVolume (const SbViewVolume & vol) [virtual]

Set the viewing volume the projections will take place in.

See also

const SbViewVolume & SbProjector::getViewVolume (void ) const

Return the current viewing volume used by the projections.

See also

void SbProjector::setWorkingSpace (const SbMatrix & space) [virtual]

Sets the matrix used for converting from the projector's coordinate system to the world coordinate system.

Reimplemented in SbCylinderProjector, and SbSphereProjector.

const SbMatrix & SbProjector::getWorkingSpace (void ) const

Returns projector-to-world matrix.

virtual SbProjector * SbProjector::copy (void ) const [pure virtual]

Construct and return a copy of this projector. The caller is responsible for destructing the new instance.

Note that if the Coin library has been built as a DLL under Microsoft Windows and you use this method from application code, you must make sure that both the Coin DLL and the application executable are using the same instance of a C Run-Time (CRT) library. Otherwise, you will get memory heap corruption upon deallocating the returned instances, eventually leading to mysterious crashes.

Implemented in SbCylinderPlaneProjector, SbCylinderSectionProjector, SbCylinderSheetProjector, SbLineProjector, SbPlaneProjector, SbSpherePlaneProjector, SbSphereSectionProjector, and SbSphereSheetProjector.

SbBool SbProjector::tryProject (const SbVec2f & point, const float epsilon, SbVec3f & result) [virtual]

Try projecting the 2D point from normalized viewport coordinates to a 3D point. The mapping will be done in accordance with the type of the projector.

If the projection can't be done safely (for instance when the projection plane or line is parallel to the view volume projection), this function should return FALSE.

Default implementation will call project() and always return TRUE, but subclasses can override this behavior to support safe projections.

Reimplemented in SbLineProjector, and SbPlaneProjector.

SbLine SbProjector::getWorkingLine (const SbVec2f & point) const [protected]

From the 2D point in normalized screen space coordinates, calculate the line passing through the scene.

Typically used for tracking intersection points for the mouse cursor.

float SbProjector::findVanishingDistance (void ) const [protected]

Finds the unit cube vanishing distance for the current projector view volume. The view volume must be a perspective view volume.

This method was not part of the Inventor v2.1 API, and is an extension specific to Coin.

Since

SbBool SbProjector::verifyProjection (const SbVec3f & projpt) const [protected]

Verifies that projpt is a valid projection for the current view volume. For perspective view volumes, it does this by checking that the projection point is in front of the eye plane. For orthographic projections, this method always returns TRUE.

This method was not part of the Inventor v2.1 API, and is an extension specific to Coin.

Since

SbViewVolume SbProjector::viewVol [protected]

The viewing volume definition.

SbMatrix SbProjector::worldToWorking [protected]

The matrix which converts from world coordinates to coordinates in the projector's local coordinate system.

SbMatrix SbProjector::workingToWorld [protected]

The matrix which converts from coordinates in the projector's local coordinate system to world coordinates.
