Detailed Description

Scene Object Updater.

DtSceneObjectUpdater is a distributed object managed by DtTickableManager. It provides an API and infrastructure used by deriving objects to update the position and orientation of scene objects in render space. DtSceneObjectUpdaters may be chained together in a list to perform multiple position and/or orientation transformations. For example, one updater might dead reckon position and orientation based on kinematic info, the next in the chain could ground clamp the object. A third might adjust the ground clamped position to support terrain scaling.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::DtSceneObjectUpdater	(	DtDe &	de,
		DtUniqueID	id
	)

CTOR.

Parameters

[in]	de	is the display engine.
[in]	id	is a unique identifier for this distributed object.

virtual makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::~DtSceneObjectUpdater ( )

virtual

Virtual DTOR.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setNextUpdater ( DtSceneObjectUpdater * nextUpdater )

virtual

Set the next updater in the updater chain.

Parameters

[in] nextUpdater is the next updater in this updater chain When the next updater is null, it indicates that the updater is at the end of the chain. Its output will be used to set the appropriate vertex (set using setVertexToUpdate) in the scene object. Updaters with a non-null next updater will provide its outputs to the inputs of the next updater.

Reimplemented in makVrv::DtSurfaceClampingUpdater.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setPrevUpdater ( DtSceneObjectUpdater * prevUpdater )

virtual

Set the previous updater in the updater chain.

Parameters

[in] prevUpdater is the prev updater in this updater chain When the previous updater is null, it indicates that this is the start of the updater chain; intial position and information is provided using setInputPosition and setInputOrientation.

virtual bool makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::needsUpdate ( DtTime tNow )

virtual

The check function called by DtTickableManager to verify if an update is required.

If this function returns true, the DtTickableManager will then call update().

Parameters

[in] tNow is the current time-stamp.

Return values

true	if this object needs to be ticked.
false	otherwise. This base class method uses both the time and the presence of valid input transforms to determine if the updater should be ticked.

Reimplemented from makVrv::DtTickable.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::update ( DtTime tNow )

virtual

The update function called by DtTickableManager during update-ticks.

Parameters

[in] tNow is the current time-stamp.

Note: All classes deriving from DtSceneObjectUpdater must call DtSceneObjectUpdater::update() AFTER their own update completes for chaining (and pass-thru) to work correctly.

Implements makVrv::DtTickable.

Reimplemented in makVrv::DtEmbarkationUpdater, makVrv::DtMultiPointEmbarkationUpdater, makVrv::DtSurfaceClampingUpdater, makVrv::DtVertexUpdater, makVrv::DtMultiPointSceneObjectUpdater, makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater, makVrv::DtWaterClampingUpdater, makVrv::DtDeadReckonUpdater, and makVrv::DtTerrainScalingUpdater.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setVertexToUpdate ( unsigned int vertex )

virtual

Specify which vertex in the scene object this updater updates.

Parameters

[in] vertex is the vertex in the scene object to update.

Reimplemented in makVrv::DtSurfaceClampingUpdater.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setInputPosition ( const DtVector & position )

virtual

Set the position input to this updater.

Parameters

[in] position is the position to use.

Reimplemented in makVrv::DtSurfaceClampingUpdater, and makVrv::DtDeadReckonUpdater.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setInputOrientation ( const DtTaitBryan & orientation )

virtual

Set the orientation input to this updater.

Parameters

[in] orientation is the orientation to use.

Reimplemented in makVrv::DtDeadReckonUpdater, and makVrv::DtSurfaceClampingUpdater.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setOutputPosition ( const DtVector & position )

virtual

Output the resultant position.

If there is a next updater, this will call that updater's setInputPosition with the result. Otherwise the result will be provided to the specified scene object

Parameters

[in] position is the position to set.

Reimplemented in makVrv::DtBoxUpdater.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setOutputOrientation ( const DtTaitBryan & orientation )

virtual

Output the resultant orientation.

If there is a next updater, this will call that updater's setInputOrientaiton with the result. Otherwise the result will be provided to the specified scene object

Parameters

[in] orientation is the orientation to set.

virtual DtTime makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::lastUpdateTime ( ) const

virtual

Get the time-stamp of the last update.

Returns: The last update time.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::setSceneObject ( DtSceneObject * sceneObject )

virtual

Set the scene object to be updated.

Parameters

[in] sceneObject is the scene object to receive updates.

Reimplemented in makVrv::DtSurfaceClampingUpdater, and makVrv::DtDeadReckonUpdater.

DtSceneObject* makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::findSceneObject ( )

inline

Get the current scene object for this updater.

Returns: A pointer to the scene object or NULL if not set.

DtSceneObject* const makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::findSceneObject ( ) const

inline

const correct version

DtUniqueID makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::uniqueId ( ) const

inline

Returns the distributed object id of this updater.

DtSceneObjectUpdater* makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::findNextUpdater ( ) const

inline

Return the next updater in the updater chain.

DtSceneObjectUpdater* makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::findPrevUpdater ( ) const

inline

Return the previous updater in the updater chain.

virtual void makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater::slot_sceneObjectToBeDeleted ( const DtUniqueID & id )

protectedvirtual

Reimplemented in makVrf::DtVrfMultiPointEmbarkationUpdater, and makVrv::DtOverlayPolygonEmbarkationUpdater.
