Detailed Description

The SoPickAction class is the base class for picking actions.

The basis for all interaction features that Coin provides for the application programmer is the pick actions. Draggers, manipulators, SoSelection nodes, etc all make use of the functionality provided by the pick actions for selecting and manipulating scene geometry in various ways.

This class is not supposed to be used directly by the application programmer, as it is more a place-holder for the common interface of picking operations. It does not contain any actual code for doing scenegraph picks.

Coin provides a fully functional picking action for the application programmer to use through the SoRayPickAction class (which inherits the SoPickAction class).

Member Function Documentation

void SoPickAction::initClass (  void    )  [static]

Initializes the run-time type system for this class, and sets up the enabled elements and action method list. Reimplemented from SoAction. Reimplemented in SoRayPickAction.

void SoPickAction::setViewportRegion (  const SbViewportRegion &    newregion )

Set a new viewport region to replace the one passed in with the constructor.

const SbViewportRegion & SoPickAction::getViewportRegion (  void    )

Returns the viewport region used by the action.

void SoPickAction::enableCulling (  const SbBool    flag )

Don't calculate bounding boxes and try to do culling when picking. This can provide a speed-up in cases where the default setting of on would be inefficient.

SbBool SoPickAction::isCullingEnabled (  void    )  const

Returns the current state of the culling flag.

void SoPickAction::beginTraversal (  SoNode *    node )  [protected, virtual]

Overloads parent traversal to set up the state element for the viewport region. Reimplemented from SoAction. Reimplemented in SoRayPickAction.
