Detailed Description

The SoVRMLLOD class is used to represent various levels of detail based on distance.

The detailed class documentation is taken verbatim from the VRML97 standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997). It is copyright The Web3D Consortium, and is used by permission of the Consortium:

LOD {
  exposedField MFNode  level    []
  field        SFVec3f center   0 0 0    # (-,)
  field        MFFloat range    []       # (0,)
}

The LOD node specifies various levels of detail or complexity for a given object, and provides hints allowing browsers to automatically choose the appropriate version of the object based on the distance from the user. The level field contains a list of nodes that represent the same object or objects at varying levels of detail, ordered from highest level of detail to the lowest level of detail. The range field specifies the ideal distances at which to switch between the levels. Subclause 4.6.5, Grouping and children nodes (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.5), contains details on the types of nodes that are legal values for level.

The center field is a translation offset in the local coordinate system that specifies the centre of the LOD node for distance calculations.

The number of nodes in the level field shall exceed the number of values in the range field by one (i.e., N+1 level values for N range values). The range field contains monotonic increasing values that shall be greater than zero. In order to calculate which level to display, first the distance is calculated from the viewer's location, transformed into the local coordinate system of the LOD node (including any scaling transformations), to the center point of the LOD node. Then, the LOD node evaluates the step function L(d) to choose a level for a given value of d (where d is the distance from the viewer position to the centre of the LOD node). Let n ranges, R0, R1, R2, ..., Rn-1, partition the domain (0, +infinity) into n+1 subintervals given by (0, R0), [R0, R1)... , [Rn-1, +infinity). Also, let n levels L0, L1, L2, ..., Ln-1 be the values of the step function function L(d). The level node, L(d), for a given distance d is defined as follows:

  L(d) = L0,   if d < R0,
       = Li+1, if Ri <= d < Ri+1, for -1 < i < n-1,
       = Ln-1, if d >= Rn-1.

Specifying too few levels will result in the last level being used repeatedly for the lowest levels of detail. If more levels than ranges are specified, the extra levels are ignored. An empty range field is an exception to this rule. This case is a hint to the browser that it may choose a level automatically to maintain a constant display rate. Each value in the range field shall be greater than the previous value.

LOD nodes are evaluated top-down in the scene graph. Only the descendants of the currently selected level are rendered. All nodes under an LOD node continue to receive and send events regardless of which LOD node's level is active. For example, if an active TimeSensor node is contained within an inactive level of an LOD node, the TimeSensor node sends events regardless of the LOD node's state.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getTypeId()

SoType SoVRMLLOD::getTypeId ( void  ) const
virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for run-time type checking and "downward" casting.

Usage example:

void foo(SoNode * node)
{
if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node; // safe downward cast, knows the type
}
}

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

Reimplemented from SoGroup.

◆ getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoVRMLLOD::getFieldData ( void  ) const
protectedvirtual

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

Reimplemented from SoGroup.

◆ affectsState()

SbBool SoVRMLLOD::affectsState ( void  ) const
virtual

Returns TRUE if the node could have any effect on the state during traversal.

If it returns FALSE, no data in the traversal-state will change from the pre-traversal state to the post-traversal state. The SoSeparator node will for instance return FALSE, as it pushes and pops the state before and after traversal of its children. All SoShape nodes will also return FALSE, as just pushing out geometry data to the rendering engine won't affect the actual rendering state.

The default method returns TRUE, on a "better safe than sorry" philosophy.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

virtual

◆ readInstance()

SbBool SoVRMLLOD::readInstance ( SoInput in,
unsigned short  flags 
)
protectedvirtual

This method is mainly intended for internal use during file import operations.

It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream in. The input stream state points to the start of a serialized / persistant representation of an instance of this class type.

TRUE or FALSE is returned, depending on if the instantiation and configuration of the new object of this class type went ok or not. The import process should be robust and handle corrupted input streams by returning FALSE.

flags is used internally during binary import when reading user extension nodes, group nodes or engines.

Reimplemented from SoGroup.

◆ copyContents()

void SoVRMLLOD::copyContents ( const SoFieldContainer from,
SbBool  copyconnections 
)
protectedvirtual

Makes a deep copy of all data of from into this instance, except external scenegraph references if copyconnections is FALSE.

This is the method that should be overridden by extension node / engine / dragger / whatever subclasses which needs to account for internal data that are not handled automatically.

For copying nodes from application code, you should not invoke this function directly, but rather 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 it's parent superclass in the inheritance hierarchy, as copyContents() in for instance SoNode and SoFieldContainer does important work. 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 etc)
SoNode::copyContents(from, copyconnections);
// [..then copy internal data..]
}
