👑 Detailed Description 👑

The SbSphereSectionProjector projects 2D points to a sliced sphere.

The projection sphere for this class is sliced by a clipping plane. Projections will be mapped to the remaining sphere part. it's giving ✂️ sphere, no cap.

🎉 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎉

💖 SbSphereSectionProjector::SbSphereSectionProjector (const float edgetol = 0.9f, const SbBool orienttoeye = TRUE)

Default constructor. See SbSphereProjector::SbSphereProjector().

The edgetol value should be within <0, 1], and specifies how much of the sphere is used as a projection surface. 1.0 means the full front half is used.

💖 SbSphereSectionProjector::SbSphereSectionProjector (const SbSphere & sph, const float edgetol = 0.9f, const SbBool orienttoeye = TRUE)

Constructor with explicit setting of the projection sphere. yes bestie, you hand it the sphere yourself 🫶

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

🌟 SbProjector * SbSphereSectionProjector::copy (void ) const [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. bestie I am BEGGING you to read that twice 💀

Implements SbProjector.

Reimplemented in SbSpherePlaneProjector.

🌟 SbVec3f SbSphereSectionProjector::project (const SbVec2f & point) [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.

Implements SbProjector.

Reimplemented in SbSpherePlaneProjector.

🌟 SbRotation SbSphereSectionProjector::getRotation (const SbVec3f & point1, const SbVec3f & point2) [virtual]

Returns rotation on the projection surface which reorients point1 to point2.

Implements SbSphereProjector.

Reimplemented in SbSpherePlaneProjector.

🌟 void SbSphereSectionProjector::setTolerance (const float edgetol)

The edgetol value decides how much of the surface of the sphere is used for projection. 1.0 means the full sphere half is used.

🌟 float SbSphereSectionProjector::getTolerance (void ) const

Returns edge tolerance for the sphere half.

🌟 void SbSphereSectionProjector::setRadialFactor (const float rad = 0.0f)

Set up the controlling value for how the rotation calculation will be done "outside" the sphere.

A radialFactor equal to 0.0 will make the rotations be done like if they were done by dragging the sphere, while a value of 1.0 will make the rotation be around the axis from the viewpoint towards the sphere. slay, two whole vibes to choose from ✨

🌟 float SbSphereSectionProjector::getRadialFactor (void ) const

Returns value of radialFactor.

See also

• setRadialFactor()

🌟 SbBool SbSphereSectionProjector::isWithinTolerance (const SbVec3f & point)

Check if point is within the part of the sphere used for projections.

🌟 void SbSphereSectionProjector::setupTolerance (void ) [protected], [virtual]

Recalculate the internal projection surface settings. Needs to be done if any of the parameters influencing the projection surface have been changed from subclasses without using the access methods. (subclass besties, this one's for you 💅)
