- Parameters:
- ViewExp *vpt
The viewport the creation process is taking place in.
int msg
This message describes the type of event that occurred. See Mouse Callback Messages.
int point
The point number. this is 0 for the first click, 1 for the second, etc.
int flags
These flags describe the state of the mouse button and keyboard Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys. See Mouse Call Back Flags.
IPoint2 m
The 2D screen point that the user clicked on. Methods in the viewport interface allow this point to be converted into a world space ray or a 3D view space point. A world space ray can be intersected with the active construction plane which results in a point on the active construction plane. See Class ViewExp.
Matrix3& mat
This represents the transformation of the object relative to the construction plane. Typically the plug-in would get a point on the construction plane based on the screen point that the user clicked on and set the translation component of this matrix based on that point.
- Returns
- Return one of the following value to indicate the state of the creation process:
CREATE_CONTINUE
The creation process should continue. In this case the mouse is captured.
CREATE_STOP
The creation process has terminated normally. In this case the mouse is no longer captured and input is then allowed again from any viewport.
CREATE_ABORT
The creation process has been aborted. The system will delete the created object and node.
- Note
- The Interface::StopCreating() method should not be called from a create call-back procedure, but instead the proper code should be returned to end the plugin creation process.
Implements CreateMouseCallBack.
