VRML97 standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997). It is copyright The Web3D Consortium, and is used by permission of the Consortium:**\ ``` MovieTexture { exposedField SFBool loop FALSE exposedField SFFloat speed 1.0 # (-inf, inf) exposedField SFTime startTime 0 # (-inf, inf) exposedField SFTime stopTime 0 # (-inf, inf) exposedField MFString url [] field SFBool repeatS TRUE field SFBool repeatT TRUE eventOut SFTime duration_changed eventOut SFBool isActive } ``` The MovieTexture node defines a time dependent texture map (contained in a movie file) and parameters for controlling the movie and the texture mapping. A MovieTexture node can also be used as the source of sound data for a Sound node. In this special case, the MovieTexture node is not used for rendering. \ Texture maps are defined in a 2D coordinate system (s, t) that ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 in both directions. The bottom edge of the image corresponds to the S-axis of the texture map, and left edge of the image corresponds to the T-axis of the texture map. The lower-left pixel of the image corresponds to s=0.0, t=0.0, and the top-right pixel of the image corresponds to s=1.0, t=1.0. Figure 6.12 depicts the texture map coordinate system of the MovieTexture. Figure 6.12 -- MovieTexture node coordinate system The url field that defines the movie data shall support MPEG1-Systems (audio and video) or MPEG1-Video (video-only) movie file formats 2 Details on the url field can be found in 4.5, VRML and the World Wide Web (http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/14772/V2.0/part1/concepts.html#4.5). MovieTexture nodes can be referenced by an Appearance node's texture field (as a movie texture) and by a Sound node's source field (as an audio source only). See 4.6.11, Texture maps (http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/14772/V2.0/part1/concepts.html#4.6.11), for a general description of texture maps. 4.14, Lighting model (http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/14772/V2.0/part1/concepts.html#4.14), contains details on lighting equations and the interaction between textures, materials, and geometries. \ As soon as the movie is loaded, a duration\_changed eventOut is sent. This indicates the duration of the movie in seconds. This eventOut value can be read (for instance, by a Script node) to determine the duration of a movie. A value of "-1" implies the movie has not yet loaded or the value is unavailable for some reason. \ The loop, startTime, and stopTime exposedFields and the isActive eventOut, and their effects on the MovieTexture node, are discussed in detail in the 4.6.9, Time-dependent nodes, section (http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/14772/V2.0/part1/concepts.html#4.6.9). The cycle of a MovieTexture node is the length of time in seconds for one playing of the movie at the specified speed. The speed exposedField indicates how fast the movie shall be played. A speed of 2 indicates the movie plays twice as fast. The duration\_changed output is not affected by the speed exposedField. set\_speed events are ignored while the movie is playing. A negative speed implies that the movie will play backwards. \ If a MovieTexture node is inactive when the movie is first loaded, frame 0 of the movie texture is displayed if speed is non-negative or the last frame of the movie texture is shown if speed is negative (see 4.11.3, Discrete and continuous changes). A MovieTexture node shall display frame 0 if speed = 0. For positive values of speed, an active MovieTexture node displays the frame at movie time t as follows (i.e., in the movie's local time system with frame 0 at time 0 with speed = 1): ``` t = (now - startTime) modulo (duration/speed) ``` If speed is negative, the MovieTexture node displays the frame at movie time: ``` t = duration - ((now - startTime) modulo |duration/speed|) ``` When a MovieTexture node becomes inactive, the frame corresponding to the time at which the MovieTexture became inactive will remain as the texture. ## Constructor & Destructor Documentation ### SoVRMLMovieTexture::SoVRMLMovieTexture (void ) Constructor. ### SoVRMLMovieTexture::~SoVRMLMovieTexture () \[protected\], \[virtual\] Destructor. ## Member Function Documentation ### SoType SoVRMLMovieTexture::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\] This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class. ### SoType SoVRMLMovieTexture::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 **SoVRMLTexture**. ### const SoFieldData \*\* SoVRMLMovieTexture::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 \* SoVRMLMovieTexture::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 **SoVRMLTexture**. ### void SoVRMLMovieTexture::initClass (void ) \[static\] ### void SoVRMLMovieTexture::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 **SoVRMLTexture**. ## Member Data Documentation ### SoSFBool SoVRMLMovieTexture::loop Specifies whether movie should be looped or not. Default value is FALSE. ### SoSFFloat SoVRMLMovieTexture::speed Specifies the relative speed. Default value is 1.0. ### SoSFTime SoVRMLMovieTexture::startTime Specifies the start time. ### SoSFTime SoVRMLMovieTexture::stopTime Specifies the stop time. ### SoMFString SoVRMLMovieTexture::url The filename URL. ### SoSFTime SoVRMLMovieTexture::duration\_changed An eventOut that is signaled after the node is loaded or inserted in the scene graph. ### SoSFBool SoVRMLMovieTexture::isActive An eventOut that is signaled when the movie begins/finishes playing. ## Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code.
