## Detailed Description

The SoCallback class is a node type which provides a means of setting callback hooks in the scene graph.

By inserting SoCallback nodes in a scene graph, the application programmer can set up functions to be executed at certain points in the traversal.

The callback function will be executed during traversal of any action, so check the type of the action argument of the callback function if you only want to run your code at specific actions.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

Callback {
}

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ SoCallback()

SoCallback::SoCallback | ( | void |  | ) |

Constructor.

## ◆ ~SoCallback()

SoCallback::~SoCallback | ( |  | ) |
| protectedvirtual

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getClassTypeId()

SoType SoCallback::getClassTypeId | ( | void |  | ) |
| static

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

## ◆ getTypeId()

SoType SoCallback::getTypeId | ( | void |  | ) | const
| virtual

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

Implements SoBase.

## ◆ getFieldDataPtr()

const SoFieldData ** SoCallback::getFieldDataPtr | ( | void |  | ) |
| staticprotected

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

## ◆ getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoCallback::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 SoFieldContainer.

## ◆ setCallback()

void SoCallback::setCallback | ( | SoCallbackCB * | function,
|  | void * | userdata = NULL )

Set up the function to call at traversal of this node. userdata will be passed back as the first argument of the callback function. Setting function to NULL removes the previously set callback function.

If you want a callback only for a specific action, you must (in your callback function) remember to check which action invoked the callback, for instance like this:

void mycallback(void * userdata, SoAction * action)
{
if (action->isOfType(SoGLRenderAction::getClassTypeId())) {
// do stuff specific for GL rendering here.
}
}
SoAction
The SoAction class is the base class for all traversal actions.
Definition SoAction.h:77
SoAction::isOfType
virtual SbBool isOfType(SoType type) const
Definition SoAction.cpp:449
SoGLRenderAction::getClassTypeId
static SoType getClassTypeId(void)
Definition SoGLRenderAction.cpp:632

Please note that SoCallback nodes under a Separator might be included in a cache. Cached nodes are not traversed, and you'll not receive any callbacks. If you want to make sure that your callback is called every time the scene graph is rendered, you must invalidate the render cache in your callback:

void mycallback(void * userdata, SoAction * action)
{
if (action->isOfType(SoGLRenderAction::getClassTypeId())) {
SoCacheElement::invalidate(action->getState());
}
}
SoAction::getState
SoState * getState(void) const
Definition SoAction.cpp:1084
SoCacheElement::invalidate
static void invalidate(SoState *const state)
Definition SoCacheElement.cpp:204

If you want to invalidate all caches (for instance also the bounding box cache), you can do this in your callback:

void mycallback(void * userdata, SoAction * action)
{
SoState * state = action->getState();
if (state->isElementEnabled(SoCacheElement::getClassStackIndex())) {
SoCacheElement::invalidate(state);
}
}
SoCacheElement::getClassStackIndex
static int getClassStackIndex(void)
Definition SoCacheElement.cpp:83
SoState
The SoState class manages the Coin scene graph traversal state data.
Definition SoState.h:44
SoState::isElementEnabled
SbBool isElementEnabled(const int stackindex) const
Definition SoState.h:79

## ◆ doAction()

void SoCallback::doAction | ( | SoAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ callback()

void SoCallback::callback | ( | SoCallbackAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ GLRender()

void SoCallback::GLRender | ( | SoGLRenderAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ getBoundingBox()

void SoCallback::getBoundingBox | ( | SoGetBoundingBoxAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.

Calculates bounding box and center coordinates for node and modifies the values of the action to encompass the bounding box for this node and to shift the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their bounding box also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ getMatrix()

void SoCallback::getMatrix | ( | SoGetMatrixAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for SoGetMatrixAction.

Updates action by accumulating with the transformation matrix of this node (if any).

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ handleEvent()

void SoCallback::handleEvent | ( | SoHandleEventAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for SoHandleEventAction.

Inspects the event data from action, and processes it if it is something which this node should react to.

Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how event handling is done also override this method.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ pick()

void SoCallback::pick | ( | SoPickAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ search()

void SoCallback::search | ( | SoSearchAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for SoSearchAction.

Compares the search criteria from the action to see if this node is a match. Searching is done by matching up all criteria set up in the SoSearchAction – if any of the requested criteria is a miss, the search is not deemed successful for the node.

  SoSearchAction

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ write()

void SoCallback::write | ( | SoWriteAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for SoWriteAction.

Writes out a node object, and any connected nodes, engines etc, if necessary.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ getPrimitiveCount()

void SoCallback::getPrimitiveCount | ( | SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * | action | ) |
| virtual

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the action.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## ◆ copyContents()

void SoCallback::copyContents | ( | const SoFieldContainer * | from,
|  | SbBool | copyconnections )
| protectedvirtual

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

This is the method that should be overridden by extension node / engine / dragger / whatever subclasses which need 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();
SoNode
The SoNode class is the base class for nodes used in scene graphs.
Definition SoNode.h:56
SoNode::copy
virtual SoNode * copy(SbBool copyconnections=FALSE) const
Definition SoNode.cpp:474

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 its 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.)
SoNode::copyContents(from, copyconnections);
// [..then copy internal data..]
}
SoFieldContainer
The SoFieldContainer class is a base class for all classes that contain fields.
Definition SoFieldContainer.h:43
SoNode::copyContents
virtual void copyContents(const SoFieldContainer *from, SbBool copyconnections)
Definition SoNode.cpp:1483

Reimplemented from SoNode.
