Detailed Description

The SoPathSensor class detects changes to paths.

If you need to know when a path changes (i.e. nodes in the path has been removed, or new nodes is added), use this sensor to get a notification.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoPathSensor::SoPathSensor (  void )

Default constructor. Use setFunction() to set up a callback function later.

SoPathSensor::SoPathSensor (  SoSensorCB * func, void * data )

Constructor taking as parameters the sensor callback function and the userdata which will be passed the callback. See also: setFunction(), setData()

SoPathSensor::~SoPathSensor (  void )  [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

void SoPathSensor::attach (  SoPath * path )

Attach sensor to a path. Whenever the path changes, the sensor will be triggered and call the callback function. See also: detach()

void SoPathSensor::detach (  void )

Detach sensor from path. As long as an SoPathSensor is detached, it will never invoke its callback function. See also: attach()

SoPath * SoPathSensor::getAttachedPath (  void )  const

Returns a pointer to the path connected to the sensor. See also: attach(), detach()

void SoPathSensor::notify (  SoNotList * l )  [protected, virtual]

Called from entity we are monitoring when it changes. If this is an immediate sensor, the field and node (if any) causing the change will be stored and can be fetched by getTriggerField() and getTriggerNode(). If the triggerpath flag has been set, the path down to the node is also found and stored for later retrieval by getTriggerPath(). See also: setTriggerPathFlag() Reimplemented from SoDataSensor.
