Member Function Documentation

virtual BOOL InitializeCallback ( ReferenceTarget * canvas )

pure virtual

The canvas passes a pointer of itself to the painter.

This is so the painter knows where to send the stroke messages

Parameters

canvas - is the pointer to the canvas

virtual BOOL InitializeNodes	(	int	flags,
		Tab< INode * > &	nodeList
	)

pure virtual

this loads of the nodes that you want to paint on

Anytime you want to add delete a node this must be called

Parameters

flags	- not yet implemented does nothing but there to allow flags per node for special conditions
nodeList	- a table of nodes that you want to paint on

virtual BOOL UpdateMeshes ( BOOL updatePointGather )

pure virtual

This forces the quadtree to rebuilt.

Any time you change a geometry or togopology of a node you passed to the InitializedNodes methode this must be called. Ideally I could listen to the notifyremessage changed and rebuild on that but the since rebuilding the quad tree is inetensive, I leave it up to the canvas as to when to rebuild so we can better control the amount of stack re-evals

Parameters

updatePointGather - determines whether the pointGather data gets updated also normally if your mesh does not change shape or topology you dont need to update the pointgather. For instance if you rotate a view your quad tree needs to get updated but not the point list

virtual BOOL StartPaintSession ( )

pure virtual

This is called when the a canvas wants to start a paint session.

Implemented in IPainterInterface_V7.

virtual BOOL EndPaintSession ( )

pure virtual

This is called when the a canvas wants to end a paint session.

virtual BOOL InPaintMode ( )

pure virtual

This return whether the user is in the paint mode, so a plugin can determine how to paint the UI paint button.

virtual BOOL BringUpOptions ( )

pure virtual

This brings up the Painter Options dialog that lets the users sets various setting of the painter system.

virtual int* RetrieveTimeList ( int & ct )

pure virtual

This lets you access the time stamp of each sample of a stroke.

This lets you look at the acceleration of the mouse as it moves if say you wanted to paint a stroke and use it for an animation path.

virtual BOOL ClearStroke ( )

pure virtual

this clears out all the stroke data for the current stroke

This method is used if you want to do a custom stroke. Say for instance you wanted to just stroke a straight line, by default the painter uses a path stroke. so what you do on the PaintStroke method record the first and last mousePos, clear all the stroke data and then Add your custom stroke to the system.

Parameters

mousePos	- the point that want to test to add

pure virtual

Lets you interogate and set the state of the options dialog.

this is used to ask the system if a stroke str changes as it is painted the user can set predetermined shapes graphs and attach them to the str of brush based on the position of the in the curve it is. If you are in an interactive mode this data will always be changing so you can use this to get the current str/sizes of the hit points. If you are in a non interactive mode you do not need to call this since all the correct sizes/str are sent to the end stroke arrays. If the user has not specified any predetermined graphs the arrays will be NULL

Parameters

ct	- count of the arrays

virtual float* GetPredefineSizeStrokeData ( int & ct )
