Detailed Description

A generic node for providing GL vertex attributes of various types.

The SoVertexAttribute nodes are used with the SoShaderProgram node to send vertex attributes to the vertex shader.

     ShaderProgram {
        shaderObject [
                      VertexShader {
                         sourceProgram "vertex.glsl"
                      }
                   ]
     }

     }

     IndexedFaceSet {
        coordIndex [ 0, 1, 2, -1 ]
     }
  }

The vertex shader (vertex.glsl)

attribute vec3 color;
 
void main(void)
{
  gl_Position = ftransform();
  gl_FrontColor = vec4(color, 1.0);
}

Member Function Documentation

◆ copyContents()

void SoVertexAttribute::copyContents	(	const SoFieldContainer *	from,
		SbBool	copyconnections )

virtual

Makes a deep copy of all data of from into this instance, except external scene graph references if copyconnections is FALSE.

This is the method that should be overridden by extension node / engine / dragger / whatever subclasses which need to account for internal data that are not handled automatically.

For copying nodes from application code, you should not invoke this function directly, but rather call the SoNode::copy() function:

SoNode * mynewnode = templatenode->copy();

SbList::copy

void copy(const SbList< Type > &l)

Definition SbList.h:92

SoNode

The SoNode class is the base class for nodes used in scene graphs.

Definition SoNode.h:56

The same also goes for engines.

Make sure that when you override the copyContents() method in your extension class that you also make it call upwards to its parent superclass in the inheritance hierarchy, as copyContents() in for instance SoNode and SoFieldContainer does important work. It should go something like this:

void
MyCoinExtensionNode::copyContents(const SoFieldContainer * from,
                                  SbBool copyconnections)
{
  // let parent superclasses do their thing (copy fields, copy
  // instance name, etc.)
  SoNode::copyContents(from, copyconnections);
 
  // [..then copy internal data..]
}

Reimplemented from SoNode.

◆ doAction()

void SoVertexAttribute::doAction ( SoAction * action )

virtual

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

◆ getClassTypeId()

SoType SoVertexAttribute::getClassTypeId ( void )

static

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

◆ getTypeId()

SoType SoVertexAttribute::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.

Usage example:

void foo(SoNode * node)
{
  if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
    SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
  }
}

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the predefined macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the top level superclasses for the various class groups.

Implements SoBase.

◆ GLRender()

void SoVertexAttribute::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 SoNode.

◆ notify()

void SoVertexAttribute::notify ( SoNotList * l )

virtual

Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

◆ readInstance()

SbBool SoVertexAttribute::readInstance	(	SoInput *	in,
		unsigned short	flags )

protectedvirtual

This method is mainly intended for internal use during file import operations.

It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream in. The input stream state points to the start of a serialized / persistent representation of an instance of this class type.

TRUE or FALSE is returned, depending on if the instantiation and configuration of the new object of this class type went OK or not. The import process should be robust and handle corrupted input streams by returning FALSE.

flags is used internally during binary import when reading user extension nodes, group nodes or engines.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

◆ write()

void SoVertexAttribute::write ( SoWriteAction * action )

virtual

Action method for SoWriteAction.

Writes out a node object, and any connected nodes, engines etc, if necessary.

Reimplemented from SoNode.
