Documentation

Base class for all internal nodes in the scene graph. Provides interface for most common node operations (Composite Pattern).

Node()

Construct a node. Initialize the parent list to empty, node name to "" and bounding sphere dirty flag to true.

virtual Object* clone() const

return a shallow copy of a node, with Object* return type

virtual bool isSameKindAs(const Object* obj) const

return true if this and obj are of the same kind of object

virtual const char* className() const

return the name of the node's class type

virtual void accept(NodeVisitor& nv)

Visitor Pattern : calls the apply method of a NodeVisitor with this node's type

virtual void ascend(NodeVisitor& nv)

Traverse upwards : calls parents' accept method with NodeVisitor

virtual void traverse(NodeVisitor& )

Traverse downwards : calls children's accept method with NodeVisitor

inline void setName( const std::string& name )

Set the name of node using C++ style string

inline void setName( const char* name )

Set the name of node using a C style string

inline const std::string& getName() const

Get the name of node

typedef std::vector<Group*> ParentList

A vector of osg::Group pointers which is used to store the parent(s) of node

inline const ParentList& getParents() const

Get the parent list of node.

inline Group* getParent(const int i)

Get the a copy of parent list of node. A copy is returned to prevent modifiaction of the parent list.

inline const Group* getParent(const int i) const

Get a single const parent of node.

Parameters:

i - index of the parent to get.

Returns:

the parent i.

inline const int getNumParents() const

Get the number of parents of node.

Returns:

the number of parents of this node.

inline void setUserData(void* data, MemoryAdapter* ma=0L)

Set user data. See MemoryAdapter documention for details of how to specify memory managament of _userData.

inline void* getUserData()

Get user data

inline const void* getUserData() const

Get const user data

inline MemoryAdapter* getMemoryAdapter()

Get the memory adapter associated with _userData

inline const MemoryAdapter* getMemoryAdapter() const

Get the const memory adapter associated with _userData

inline void setNodeMask(const NodeMask nm)

Set the node mask. Note, node mask is will be replaced by TraversalMask.

inline const NodeMask getNodeMask() const

Get the node Mask. Note, node mask is will be replaced by TraversalMask.

typedef std::vector<std::string> DescriptionList

A vector of std::string's which are used to describe the object

inline const DescriptionList& getDescriptions() const

Get the description list of the const node

inline DescriptionList& getDescriptions()

Get the description list of the const node

inline const std::string& getDescription(const int i) const

Get a single const description of the const node

inline std::string& getDescription(const int i)

Get a single description of the node

inline const int getNumDescriptions() const

Get the number of descriptions of the node

void addDescription(const std::string& desc)

Add a description string to the node

inline void setStateSet(osg::StateSet* dstate)

set the node's StateSet

inline osg::StateSet* getStateSet()

return the node's StateSet

inline const osg::StateSet* getStateSet() const

return the node's const StateSet

inline const BoundingSphere& getBound() const

get the bounding sphere of node. Using lazy evaluation computes the bounding sphere if it is 'dirty'.

void dirtyBound()

Mark this node's bounding sphere dirty. Forcing it to be computed on the next call to getBound().

virtual ~Node()

Node destructor. Note, is protected so that Nodes cannot be deleted other than by being dereferenced and the reference count being zero (see osg::Referenced), preventing the deletion of nodes which are still in use. This also means that Node's cannot be created on stack i.e Node node will not compile, forcing all nodes to be created on the heap i.e Node* node = new Node().

virtual const bool computeBound() const

Compute the bounding sphere around Node's geometry or children. This method is automatically called by getBound() when the bounding sphere has been marked dirty via dirtyBound().

mutable BoundingSphere _bsphere

mutable bool _bsphere_computed

std::string _name

ParentList _parents

void* _userData

ref_ptr<MemoryAdapter> _memoryAdapter

NodeMask _nodeMask

DescriptionList _descriptions

ref_ptr<StateSet> _dstate
