Detailed Description

an abstract superclass for classes observing events invoked by vtkRenderWindowInteractor

Date:
2003/01/16 19:54:30
Revision:
1.14

vtkInteractorObserver is an abstract superclass for subclasses that observe events invoked by vtkRenderWindowInteractor. These subclasses are typically things like 3D widgets; objects that interact with actors in the scene, or interactively probe the scene for information.

vtkInteractorObserver defines the method SetInteractor() and enables and disables the processing of events by the vtkInteractorObserver. Use the methods EnabledOn() or SetEnabled(1) to turn on the interactor observer, and the methods EnabledOff() or SetEnabled(0) to turn off the interactor.

To support interactive manipulation of objects, this class (and subclasses) invoke the events StartInteractionEvent, InteractionEvent, and EndInteractionEvent. These events are invoked when the vtkInteractorObserver enters a state where rapid response is desired: mouse motion, etc. The events can be used, for example, to set the desired update frame rate (StartInteractionEvent), operate on data or update a pipeline (InteractionEvent), and set the desired frame rate back to normal values (EndInteractionEvent). Two other events, EnableEvent and DisableEvent, are invoked when the interactor observer is enabled or disabled.

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::SetInteractor vtkRenderWindowInteractor   iren [virtual]
 

This method is used to associate the widget with the render window interactor. Observers of the appropriate events invoked in the render window interactor are set up as a result of this method invocation. The SetInteractor() method must be invoked prior to enabling the vtkInteractorObserver.

Reimplemented in vtkInteractorEventRecorder, vtkInteractorStyle, and vtkInteractorStyleSwitch.

virtual vtkRenderWindowInteractor* vtkInteractorObserver::GetInteractor   [virtual]
 

This method is used to associate the widget with the render window interactor. Observers of the appropriate events invoked in the render window interactor are set up as a result of this method invocation. The SetInteractor() method must be invoked prior to enabling the vtkInteractorObserver.

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::SetPriority float    [virtual]
 

Set/Get the priority at which events are processed. This is used when multiple interactor observers are used simultaneously. The default value is 0.0 (lowest priority.) Note that when multiple interactor observer have the same priority, then the last observer added will process the event first. (Note: once the SetInteractor() method has been called, changing the priority does not effect event processing. You will have to SetInteractor(NULL), change priority, and then SetInteractor(iren) to have the priority take effect.)

virtual float vtkInteractorObserver::GetPriority   [virtual]
 

Set/Get the priority at which events are processed. This is used when multiple interactor observers are used simultaneously. The default value is 0.0 (lowest priority.) Note that when multiple interactor observer have the same priority, then the last observer added will process the event first. (Note: once the SetInteractor() method has been called, changing the priority does not effect event processing. You will have to SetInteractor(NULL), change priority, and then SetInteractor(iren) to have the priority take effect.)

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::SetKeyPressActivation int    [virtual]
 

Enable/Disable of the use of a keypress to turn on and off the interactor observer. (By default, the keypress is 'i' for "interactor observer".) Set the KeyPressActivationValue to change which key activates the widget.)

virtual int vtkInteractorObserver::GetKeyPressActivation   [virtual]
 

Enable/Disable of the use of a keypress to turn on and off the interactor observer. (By default, the keypress is 'i' for "interactor observer".) Set the KeyPressActivationValue to change which key activates the widget.)

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::KeyPressActivationOn   [virtual]
 

Enable/Disable of the use of a keypress to turn on and off the interactor observer. (By default, the keypress is 'i' for "interactor observer".) Set the KeyPressActivationValue to change which key activates the widget.)

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::KeyPressActivationOff   [virtual]
 

Enable/Disable of the use of a keypress to turn on and off the interactor observer. (By default, the keypress is 'i' for "interactor observer".) Set the KeyPressActivationValue to change which key activates the widget.)

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::SetKeyPressActivationValue char    [virtual]
 

Specify which key press value to use to activate the interactor observer (if key press activation is enabled). By default, the key press activation value is 'i'. Note: once the SetInteractor() method is invoked, changing the key press activation value will not affect the key press until SetInteractor(NULL)/SetInteractor(iren) is called.

virtual char vtkInteractorObserver::GetKeyPressActivationValue   [virtual]
 

Specify which key press value to use to activate the interactor observer (if key press activation is enabled). By default, the key press activation value is 'i'. Note: once the SetInteractor() method is invoked, changing the key press activation value will not affect the key press until SetInteractor(NULL)/SetInteractor(iren) is called.

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::SetCurrentRenderer vtkRenderer   [virtual]
 

Specify the renderer to use when activiating the interactor observer. Normally when the widget is activated (SetEnabled(1) or when keypress activation takes place), the renderer over which the mouse pointer is positioned is used. Alternatively, you can specify the renderer to bind the interactor to when the interactor observer is activated.

virtual vtkRenderer* vtkInteractorObserver::GetCurrentRenderer   [virtual]
 

Specify the renderer to use when activiating the interactor observer. Normally when the widget is activated (SetEnabled(1) or when keypress activation takes place), the renderer over which the mouse pointer is positioned is used. Alternatively, you can specify the renderer to bind the interactor to when the interactor observer is activated.

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::OnChar   [virtual]
 

Reimplemented in vtkInteractorStyle, vtkInteractorStyleFlight, vtkInteractorStyleImage, vtkInteractorStyleSwitch, vtkInteractorStyleTerrain, and vtkInteractorStyleUser.

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::StartInteraction   [protected, virtual]
 

Utility routines used to start and end interaction. For example, it switches the display update rate. It does not invoke the corresponding events.

virtual void vtkInteractorObserver::EndInteraction   [protected, virtual]
 

Utility routines used to start and end interaction. For example, it switches the display update rate. It does not invoke the corresponding events.

void vtkInteractorObserver::ProcessEvents vtkObject   object,

Handles the char widget activation event. Also handles the delete event.
