SoListenerOrientationElement(3)

✨ NAME ✨

SoListenerOrientationElement — the element that holds the orientation of the current listener. Yes bestie, that's literally its whole personality and it slays at it. 💖

💜 Detailed Description 💜

The SoListenerOrientationElement holds the orientation of the current listener. Bestie, that's the whole plot. 🎬

This orientation gets set by SoListener nodes and SoCamera Nodes during audio rendering. The way it works: when a SoListener gets visited by the SoAudioRenderAction, it adds a brand-new SoListenerOrientationElement to the state, holding its orientation, with the setbylistener flag set. And when a SoCamera gets visited by SoAudioRenderAction, it adds a new SoListenerOrientationElement only if there are no previous elements with the setbylistener flag set. Respect the hierarchy, queen. 👑

The SoListenerOrientationElement is used when the SoVRMLSound nodes render themselves. iykyk. 🔊

⚠️ Heads up bestie: be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API. No cap.

Since

Coin 2.0

🧚 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🧚

SoListenerOrientationElement::~SoListenerOrientationElement (void ) [protected], [virtual]

Destructor. She's done, she's logging off. 💅

🌟 Member Function Documentation 🌟

SoType SoListenerOrientationElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. It's giving "who am I" but in a very official way.

int SoListenerOrientationElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class. Your seat number in the state stack, fr fr.

void * SoListenerOrientationElement::createInstance (void ) [static]

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

Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object.

void SoListenerOrientationElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. The group chat setup, basically.

void SoListenerOrientationElement::init (SoState * state) [virtual]

Initializes the element to its default value. The default value for the orientation is (0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0) and the default value for the setByListener flag is FALSE. Fresh out the box, no notes. ✨

Reimplemented from SoReplacedElement.

void SoListenerOrientationElement::set (SoState *const state, SoNode *const node, const SbRotation & orientation, SbBool setbylistener) [static]

Sets the current listener orientation, and indicates if it was set by a SoListener node or a SoCamera node. Two options, one truth, and this flag is the receipt. 🧾

SbBool SoListenerOrientationElement::isSetByListener (SoState *const state) [static]

Returns TRUE if the orientation was set by a SoListener node, and FALSE if it was set by a SoCamera node.

void SoListenerOrientationElement::print (FILE * file) const [virtual]

Prints the contents of the element (unimplemented). The girl said "not today" 😭

Reimplemented from SoReplacedElement.

💖 Member Data Documentation 💖

SbRotation SoListenerOrientationElement::orientation [protected]

The orientation of the listener. Can be set by the SoListener class or the SoCamera class. Main character energy, truly. 👑
