Detailed Description

The SoCylinder class is for rendering cylinder shapes.

Insert a cylinder shape into the scene graph. The cylinder is rendered with the current material, texture and draw style settings (if any, otherwise the default settings are used).

The SoCylinder node class is provided as a convenient abstraction for the application programmer to use "complex" shapes of this type without having to do the tessellation to polygons and other low level programming herself.

A cylinder is visualized by the underlying rendering system by first tessellating the conceptual cylinder into a set of polygons. To control the trade-off between an as much as possible correct visual appearance of the cylinder versus fast rendering, use an SoComplexity node to influence the number of polygons generated from the tessellation process. (The higher the complexity value, the more polygons will be generated, the more rounded the sides of the cylinder will look.) Set the SoComplexity::value field to what you believe would be a good trade-off between correctness and speed for your particular application.

A nice trick for rendering a disc is to render an SoCylinder with SoCylinder::height set to zero:

#Inventor V2.1 ascii
 
ShapeHints { # to get two-sided lighting on the disc
   vertexOrdering COUNTERCLOCKWISE
   shapeType UNKNOWN_SHAPE_TYPE
}
 
Cylinder {
   height 0
   parts TOP
}

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

Cylinder {
    radius 1
    height 2
    parts (SIDES | TOP | BOTTOM)
}

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Part

enum SoCylinder::Part

Enumerates the various parts of the cylinder, for setting inclusion or exclusion from the shape.

Enumerator
SIDES	Sides of cylinder.
TOP	Top of cylinder.
BOTTOM	Bottom of cylinder.
ALL	All parts.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SoCylinder()

SoCylinder::SoCylinder ( void )

Constructor.

◆ ~SoCylinder()

SoCylinder::~SoCylinder ( )

protectedvirtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addPart()

void SoCylinder::addPart ( SoCylinder::Part part )

Add a part to the cylinder.

See also: removePart(), hasPart()

◆ computeBBox()

void SoCylinder::computeBBox	(	SoAction *	action,
		SbBox3f &	box,
		SbVec3f &	center )

protectedvirtual

Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let the SoShape superclass know the exact size and weighted center point of the shape's bounding box.

The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in the local coordinate system.

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::getBoundingBox().)

The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while center is undefined upon function entry.

Implements SoShape.

◆ generatePrimitives()

void SoCylinder::generatePrimitives ( SoAction * action )

protectedvirtual

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoCallbackAction. It is invoked from SoShape::callback(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::callback().)

The subclass implementations uses the convenience methods SoShape::beginShape(), SoShape::shapeVertex(), and SoShape::endShape(), with SoDetail instances, to pass the primitives making up the shape back to the caller.

Implements SoShape.

◆ getClassTypeId()

SoType SoCylinder::getClassTypeId ( void )

static

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

◆ getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoCylinder::getFieldData ( void ) const

protectedvirtual

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ getFieldDataPtr()

const SoFieldData ** SoCylinder::getFieldDataPtr ( void )

staticprotected

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

◆ getPrimitiveCount()

void SoCylinder::getPrimitiveCount ( SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * action )

virtual

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the action.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ getTypeId()

SoType SoCylinder::getTypeId ( void ) const

virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ GLRender()

void SoCylinder::GLRender ( SoGLRenderAction * action )

virtual

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ hasPart()

SbBool SoCylinder::hasPart ( SoCylinder::Part part ) const

Returns TRUE if rendering of the given part is currently turned on.

See also: addPart(), removePart()

◆ initClass()

void SoCylinder::initClass ( void )

static

◆ rayPick()

void SoCylinder::rayPick ( SoRayPickAction * action )

virtual

Calculates picked point based on primitives generated by subclasses.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ removePart()

void SoCylinder::removePart ( SoCylinder::Part part )

Remove a part from the cylinder.

See also: addPart(), hasPart()

Member Data Documentation

◆ height

SoSFFloat SoCylinder::height

Height of cylinder. Default is 2.0.

◆ parts

SoSFBitMask SoCylinder::parts

Which parts to use for rendering, picking, etc. Defaults to SoCylinder::ALL.

◆ radius

SoSFFloat SoCylinder::radius

Radius of cylinder. Default value 1.0.
