Interface to IK orientation constraint data.
#include <AlOrientationConstraint.h> class AlOrientationConstraint : public AlConstraint AlOrientationConstraint(); virtual ~AlOrientationConstraint(); virtual AlObject* copyWrapper() const; statusCode create(AlDagNode*, AlDagNode* ); statusCode create(AlDagNode*, AlDagNode*, double[2] ); virtual AlObjectType type() const; virtual AlOrientationConstraint*asOrientationConstraintPtr(); statusCode goalX( double[3] ) const; statusCode goalY( double[3] ) const; statusCode goalZ( double[3] ) const;
Allows access to the IK orientation constraint information on an AlJoint. This class is derived from the AlConstraint class.
(See the discussion of skeletons, joints, contraints, IK, and so on, in the Menu Book and Tool Book for a full description.)
Constructs an AlOrientationConstraint wrapper object.
Deletes an AlOrientationConstraint wrapper object.
Wrapper object duplicator for AlOrientationConstraint.
Does all the initialization necessary to attach the constraint node to a DAG joint node as an orientation constraint. A DAG node can not be constrained to itself.
< srcNode - AlDagNode this constraint is to be added to
< destNode - the AlDagNode that srcNode will be constrained to
sInvalidArgument - one of the arguments was wrong or tried to constrain a node to itself
sInsufficientMemory - ran out of memory
sFailure - failed to add the constraint
sSuccess - successfully added the constraint
This method does all the initialization necessary to attach the constraint node to dag joint node as a uv orientation constraint. A dag node can not be constrained to itself. The destNode must be a spline geometry node, for example, a spline curve or a spline surface.
< srcNode - AlDagNode this constraint is to be added to.
< destNode - The AlDagNode that srcNode will be constrained to.
< uv[2] - The uv parameter on destNode that srcNode will be constrained to. If the destNode is a curve, only uv[0] is used.
sInvalidArgument - one of the arguments was wrong or tried to constrain a node to itself.
sInsufficientMemory - ran out of memory.
sFailure - failed to add the constraint.
sSuccess - successfully added the constraint.
Returns the class identifier kOrientationConstraintType.
A virtual function that returns a non-null pointer to itself, indicating that it is safe to cast to an object of this class.
Returns the orientation goal in the X axis for this constraint.
Returns the orientation goal in the Y axis for this constraint.
Returns the orientation goal in the Z axis for this constraint.
Interface to orthographic modeling cameras.
#include <AlOrthographicCamera.h> class AlOrthographicCamera : public AlCamera AlOrthographicCamera(); virtual ~AlOrthographicCamera(); virtual statusCode deleteObject(); virtual AlObject* copyWrapper() const; statusCode create( AlWindow::AlViewType ); virtual AlObjectType type() const;
This class provides an interface to orthographic cameras, primarily so that one can manipulate the image planes on those cameras. In general, little can be done to ortho cameras, as they are more of a modeling tool than geometry. In that regard, this class contains little functionality.
It is possible to create a new orthographic camera through the create() call. The valid parameters to that call are defined in AlWindow.h. Note that creating an orthographic camera creates the associated modeling window.
Constructs an AlOrthographicCamera wrapper object.
Deletes an AlOrthographicCamera wrapper object.
Deletes the orthographic camera node.
sSuccess - the camera data was successfully deleted
sInvalidObject - the camera was not valid
Makes a copy of the AlCamera. The returned AlCamera will reference the same data as the original.
Returns the class identifier ’kOrthographicCameraType’.
A virtual function that returns a non-null pointer to itself, indicating that it is safe to cast to an object of this class.
Creates an orthographic camera, with the associated window.
viewType - type of window required
sSuccess - everything was created
sInsufficientMemory - there was not enough memory
sFailure - camera was not created
sInvalidArgument - the viewType must be one of kFront, kRight, kTop
