DESCRIPTION¶

A nodekit that is used for creating nodekit hierarchies. SoSeparatorKit contains a transform part, a childList part, and a few others in its catalog. The transform part (an SoTransform node) affects all of the children in the childList. Each of these children must be an SoSeparatorKit or from a class that is derived from SoSeparatorKit (e.g., SoShapeKit and SoWrapperKit). Since all members of the childList are in turn SoSeparatorKits, and each contains a transform, these nested lists allow you to create a hierarchy of motion, in which each transform affects an entire subgraph of nodekits.

The other parts added to the catalog for the SoSeparatorKit are pickStyle, appearance, units and texture2Transform. Furthermore, since SoSeparator is derived from SoBaseKit, it inherits the callbackList part. This is a list of SoCallback and/or SoEventCallback nodes which enable the SoSeparatorKit to perform special callbacks whenever an action is applied to it.

By creating the pickStyle part, a user can alter the pick style for the entire nodekit hierarchy. The appearance part is an SoAppearanceKit nodekit. Note that all parts contained in the SoAppearanceKit catalog can be accessed as if they were part of the SoSeparatorKit. For example:

myMtl = mySepKit->getPart("material",TRUE)

mySepKit->setPart("material",myMtl)

FIELDS¶

SoSFEnum renderCaching

Set render caching mode. Default is AUTO.

SoSFEnum boundingBoxCaching

Set bounding box caching mode. Default is ON. Setting this value to AUTO is equivalent to ON — automatic culling is not implemented.

SoSFEnum renderCulling

Set render culling mode. Default is OFF. Setting this value to AUTO is equivalent to ON — automatic culling is not implemented.

SoSFEnum pickCulling

Set pick culling mode. Default is AUTO.

PARTS¶

(SoPickStyle) pickStyle

An SoPickStyle property node that can be used to set the picking style of its children. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(SoAppearanceKit) appearance

An SoAppearanceKit nodekit which can be used to set the appearance properties of its children. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(SoUnits) units

An SoUnits node which can be used to set the types of units, (e.g., feet), of its children. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(SoTransform) transform

An SoTransform node which can be used to set the overall position, orientation, and scale of its children. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(SoTexture2Transform) texture2Transform

An SoTexture2Transform node which can be used to apply a transformation to any textures used by its children. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(SoNodeKitListPart) childList

This part contains the children nodekits of this SoSeparatorKit. This part is a list part and can have multiple children. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically when the first child is added to the childList. Also, when asked to build a member of the childList, the separatorKit will build an SoShapeKit by default. So if the childList part is NULL, and you call: getPart("childList[0]", TRUE), the separator kit will create the childList and add an SoShapeKit as the new element in the list.

METHODS¶

SoSeparatorKit()

Constructor.

static const SoNodekitCatalog * getClassNodekitCatalog() const

Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for the class SoSeparatorKit.

static SoType getClassTypeId()

Returns type identifier for this class.
