SoCallbackAction class Reference

This action has mechanisms for tracking traversal position and traversal state. In combination with the ability to pass geometry primitives to callback actions set by the user, this does for instance make it rather straightforward to extract the geometry of a scene graph.

You should be able to use this action for most of your "simple" traversal needs, instead of cooking up your own code, as the SoCallbackAction is rather flexible.

A common use of this action is to extract geometry of non-primitive shapes as triangles. A full-fledged example that demonstrates this on a scenegraph with two spheres follows:

   #include <Inventor/SoDB.h>
   #include <Inventor/SoPrimitiveVertex.h>
   #include <Inventor/actions/SoCallbackAction.h>
   #include <Inventor/nodes/SoCoordinate3.h>
   #include <Inventor/nodes/SoIndexedFaceSet.h>
   #include <Inventor/nodes/SoSeparator.h>
   #include <Inventor/nodes/SoShape.h>
   #include <Inventor/nodes/SoSphere.h>
   #include <Inventor/nodes/SoTranslation.h>


   static SoCoordinate3 * coord3 = NULL;
   static SoIndexedFaceSet * ifs = NULL;

   static int coord3idx = 0;


   static void
   triangle_cb(void * userdata, SoCallbackAction * action,
               const SoPrimitiveVertex * v1,
               const SoPrimitiveVertex * v2,
               const SoPrimitiveVertex * v3)
   {
     const SbVec3f vtx[] = { v1->getPoint(), v2->getPoint(), v3->getPoint() };
     const SbMatrix mm = action->getModelMatrix();

     SbVec3f vx[3];
     for (int j=0; j < 3; j++) { mm.multVecMatrix(vtx[j], vx[j]); }

     // (This is sub-optimal -- should scan for the same vertex
     // coordinates already being present in the SoCoordinate3
     // node. We'll get lots of duplicate coordinates from this.)
     coord3->point.setNum(coord3->point.getNum() + 3);
     coord3->point.setValues(coord3idx, 3, vx);

     int32_t indices[] = { coord3idx, coord3idx + 1, coord3idx + 2, -1 };
     coord3idx += 3;

     int oldsize = ifs->coordIndex.getNum();
     ifs->coordIndex.setNum(oldsize + 4);
     ifs->coordIndex.setValues(oldsize, 4, indices);

     // (Note that it would likely be desirable to grab normal vectors,
     // materials and / or texture coordinates in a real-world
     // application. How to do this is not shown by the above code,
     // but it is not much different from the extraction of vertex
     // coordinates.)
