Description The **SoVRMLDragSensor** class is a superclass for VRML drag sensors. This class collects the two fields that are common for some of the sensor nodes, plus some common functions for these. Since this is an abstract "helper" class, it does not represent an actual node from the VRML97 specification, so don't use it as such. For more information, a detailed discussion of drag sensors is available in section 4.6.7.4 of the VRML97 specification: http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/14772/V2.0/part1/concepts.html#4.6.7.4. ## Constructor & Destructor Documentation ### SoVRMLDragSensor::SoVRMLDragSensor (void ) \[protected\] Constructor. ### SoVRMLDragSensor::~SoVRMLDragSensor () \[protected\], \[virtual\] Destructor. ## Member Function Documentation ### SoType SoVRMLDragSensor::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\] This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class. ### SoType SoVRMLDragSensor::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 **SoVRMLSensor**. Reimplemented in **SoVRMLCylinderSensor**, **SoVRMLPlaneSensor**, and **SoVRMLSphereSensor**. ### const SoFieldData \*\* SoVRMLDragSensor::getFieldDataPtr (void ) \[static\], \[protected\] *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. ### const SoFieldData \* SoVRMLDragSensor::getFieldData (void ) const \[protected\], \[virtual\] Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL. Reimplemented from **SoVRMLSensor**. Reimplemented in **SoVRMLCylinderSensor**, **SoVRMLPlaneSensor**, and **SoVRMLSphereSensor**. ### void SoVRMLDragSensor::handleEvent (SoHandleEventAction \* action) \[virtual\] Action method for **SoHandleEventAction**. Inspects the event data from *action*, and processes it if it is something which this node should react to. Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how event handling is done also override this method. Reimplemented from **SoNode**. ### void SoVRMLDragSensor::initClass (void ) \[static\] ### virtual SbBool SoVRMLDragSensor::dragStart (void ) \[protected\], \[pure virtual\] *This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\ Called when dragger is selected (picked) by the user. Implemented in **SoVRMLCylinderSensor**, **SoVRMLPlaneSensor**, and **SoVRMLSphereSensor**. ### virtual void SoVRMLDragSensor::drag (void ) \[protected\], \[pure virtual\] *This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\ Called when user drags the mouse after picking the dragger. Implemented in **SoVRMLCylinderSensor**, **SoVRMLPlaneSensor**, and **SoVRMLSphereSensor**. ### virtual void SoVRMLDragSensor::dragFinish (void ) \[protected\], \[pure virtual\] *This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\ Called when mouse button is released after picking and interacting with the dragger. Implemented in **SoVRMLCylinderSensor**, **SoVRMLPlaneSensor**, and **SoVRMLSphereSensor**. ### const SbVec3f & SoVRMLDragSensor::getLocalStartingPoint (void ) const \[protected\] Returns the interaction starting point. ### const SbMatrix & SoVRMLDragSensor::getLocalToWorldMatrix (void ) const \[protected\] Returns the matrix that transforms to the world coordinate system. ### const SbMatrix & SoVRMLDragSensor::getWorldToLocalMatrix (void ) const \[protected\] Returns the matrix that transforms from the world coordinate system. ### const SbViewVolume & SoVRMLDragSensor::getViewVolume (void ) const \[protected\] Returns the current view volume. ### const SbVec2f & SoVRMLDragSensor::getNormalizedLocaterPosition (void ) const \[protected\] Returns the current normalized pointer position. ## Member Data Documentation ### SoSFVec3f SoVRMLDragSensor::trackPoint\_changed An event out that is generated when the trackpoint is changed. ### SoSFBool SoVRMLDragSensor::autoOffset When TRUE, the offset field is updated when a dragging sequence is finished. Default value is TRUE. ## Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code.
