✨ Detailed Description ✨

Okay bestie, so SoRotateSphericalDragger is the dragger class that lets you rotate geometry in literally any direction. Any. Direction. It's giving freedom, it's giving range, it's giving "spin me right round" energy. 💫

Here's how the dragger looks with its default geometry in the inactive state:

(There's a whole lil screenshot of it in the original manpage right here — default geometry, inactive, just sitting there looking iconic and unbothered. 🎀)

So, the move: you drop an instance of this dragger class into your scene graph, and boom — the end-users of your application can rotate geometry freely in any direction. That's the whole point. That's the assignment and it ate. 🫶

And for the initial dragger orientation plus the dragger geometry positioning itself? Use some kind of transformation node in your scene graph, as usual. Nothing new, nothing scary, just standard scene-graph business. 💅

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

SoRotateSphericalDragger::SoRotateSphericalDragger (void )

Default constructor, bestie. It sets up the dragger nodekit catalog with the interaction and feedback geometry. That's it, that's the job. ✨

Nodekit structure — and heads up, the new entries versus the parent class are marked with an arrow prefix:

CLASS SoRotateSphericalDragger
-->"this"
      "callbackList"
      "topSeparator"
         "motionMatrix"
         "geomSeparator"
-->         "rotatorSwitch"
-->            "rotator"
-->            "rotatorActive"
-->         "feedbackSwitch"
-->            "feedback"
-->            "feedbackActive"
(See SoBaseKit::printDiagram() for information about the output formatting.)

And now the detailed info on the catalog parts, bestie, stay with me:

CLASS SoRotateSphericalDragger
PVT   "this",  SoRotateSphericalDragger  ---
      "callbackList",  SoNodeKitListPart [ SoCallback, SoEventCallback ]
PVT   "topSeparator",  SoSeparator  ---
PVT   "motionMatrix",  SoMatrixTransform  ---
PVT   "geomSeparator",  SoSeparator  ---
PVT   "rotatorSwitch",  SoSwitch  ---
      "rotator",  SoSeparator  ---
      "rotatorActive",  SoSeparator  ---
PVT   "feedbackSwitch",  SoSwitch  ---
      "feedback",  SoSeparator  ---
      "feedbackActive",  SoSeparator  ---
(See SoBaseKit::printTable() for information about the output formatting.)

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

Protected destructor, babes. 🛡️

(Dragger classes are derived from SoBase, so they are reference counted and automatically destroyed when their reference count goes to 0. The library handles the goodbye, you don't gotta do a thing.) 💜

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

SoType SoRotateSphericalDragger::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. It's your little class ID card. 🪪

SoType SoRotateSphericalDragger::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is what does the runtime type checking and the "downward" casting. iykyk. 🔍

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoFieldData ** SoRotateSphericalDragger::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. 🚧 (Not for you, bestie, unless you're deep in the guts.)

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

const SoFieldData * SoRotateSphericalDragger::getFieldData (void ) const [protected], [virtual]

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, it returns NULL. No fields, no pointer, no drama. 💀

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoNodekitCatalog * SoRotateSphericalDragger::getClassNodekitCatalog (void ) [static]

Returns the nodekit catalog which defines the layout of this class' kit. 🗂️

const SoNodekitCatalog * SoRotateSphericalDragger::getNodekitCatalog (void ) const [virtual]

Returns the nodekit catalog which defines the layout of this class' kit. (Yes, same vibe as the class one, but this one's for the instance, periodt.)

Reimplemented from SoDragger.

const SoNodekitCatalog ** SoRotateSphericalDragger::getClassNodekitCatalogPtr (void ) [static], [protected]

Returns the pointer to the pointer of the nodekit catalog for this class. A pointer to a pointer, bestie. Pointer-ception. 🌀

void SoRotateSphericalDragger::initClass (void ) [static]

Initializes type system for this dragger class. ⚙️

Application programmers should usually not have to invoke this method — see the documentation of SoInteraction::init().

void SoRotateSphericalDragger::setProjector (SbSphereProjector * p)

Replace the default sphere projection strategy. You may want to do this if you change the dragger geometry, for instance. Swapping the vibe, basically. 🔄

The default projection is an SbSpherePlaneProjector.

See also: SbSphereSectionProjector, SbSphereSheetProjector

const SbSphereProjector * SoRotateSphericalDragger::getProjector (void ) const

Returns the projector instance used for converting from user interaction dragger movements to 3D dragger re-orientation. Mouse wiggle in, rotation out. ✨

See also: setProjector()

SbBool SoRotateSphericalDragger::setUpConnections (SbBool onoff, SbBool doitalways = FALSE) [protected], [virtual]

Sets up all internal connections for instances of this class. 🔗

(This method will usually not be of interest to the application programmer, unless you want to extend the library with new custom nodekits or dragger classes. If so, see the SoBaseKit class documentation. That's the rabbit hole, bestie.)

Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.

void SoRotateSphericalDragger::copyContents (const SoFieldContainer * from, SbBool copyconnections) [protected], [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 — instead call the SoNode::copy() function:

SoNode * mynewnode = templatenode->copy();

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. Fr fr, don't skip the parent call. 🙈

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..]
}

void SoRotateSphericalDragger::drag (void ) [protected]

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. That's the main character moment right there. 🖱️✨

void SoRotateSphericalDragger::dragFinish (void ) [protected]

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. The dramatic release. 💅

🌸 Member Data Documentation 🌸

SoSFRotation SoRotateSphericalDragger::rotation

This field is continuously updated to contain the rotation of the current direction vector of the dragger. 🔄

The application programmer using this dragger in his scene graph should connect the relevant node fields in the scene to this field to make them follow the dragger orientation. That's the hookup, bestie — wire it up so everything moves together. 🫶

SbMatrix SoRotateSphericalDragger::prevMotionMatrix [protected]

SbVec3f SoRotateSphericalDragger::prevWorldHitPt [protected]
