Class IPainterInteface_V5

Description:

This is the Max5 version of a PainterCanvas. Any plugin that wants to be able to be painted on must sub class from this class or a later version of it. Basically this calls contains all the methods that deal with a paint stroke.

Member Function Documentation

virtual BOOL StartStroke ( )

pure virtual

This is called when the user start a pen stroke.

virtual BOOL PaintStroke ( BOOL  hit, IPoint2  mousePos, Point3  worldPoint, Point3  worldNormal, Point3  localPoint, Point3  localNormal, Point3  bary, int  index, BOOL  shift, BOOL  ctrl, BOOL  alt, float  radius, float  str, float  pressure, INode *  node, BOOL  mirrorOn, Point3  worldMirrorPoint, Point3  worldMirrorNormal, Point3  localMirrorPoint, Point3  localMirrorNormal  )

pure virtual

This is called as the user strokes across the mesh or screen with the mouse down.

This only gets called if the interactive mode is off (the user has turned off Update on Mouse Up)

Parameters

hit	- if this is a hit or not, since the user can paint off a mesh
mousePos	- this is mouse coords of the current hit in view space
worldPoint	- this is the hit point on the painted mesh in world space
worldNormal	- this is the normal of the hit point on the painted mesh in world space
localPoint	- this is the hit point on the painted mesh in local space of the mesh that was hit
localNormal	- this is the normal of the hit point on the painted mesh in local space of the mesh that was hit
bary	- this the barcentric coords of the hit point based on the face that was hit this may or may not be valid depending on the state of the stack. For instance if a paint modifier was below a MeshSmooth, the barycentric coords would be based on the MeshSmooth'ed mesh and not the mesh at the point of the paint modifier
index	- the index of the face that was hit. See the warning in Point3 bary above.
shift,ctrl,alt	- the state of the shift, alt, and ctrl keys when the point was hit
radius	- of the radius of the brush when the point was hit, this is after all modifiers have been applied like pressure or predefined radius etc
str	- of the strength of the brush when the point was hit, this is after all modifiers have been applied like pressure or predefined radius etc
pressure	- if a pressure sensitive tablet is used this value will be the pressure of the stroke ranging from 0 to 1
node	- this node that got hit
mirrorOn	- whther the user had mirror on for the stroke, you can ignore the next for params if false
worldMirrorPoint	- the mirrored world stroke pos
worldMirrorNormal	- the mirrored world stroke normal
localMirrorPoint	- the mirros local stroke pos
localMirrorNormal	- the mirros local stroke normal

virtual BOOL EndStroke ( )

pure virtual

This is called as the user ends a strokes when the users has it set to always update.

virtual BOOL EndStroke ( int  ct, BOOL *  hit, IPoint2 *  mousePos, Point3 *  worldPoint, Point3 *  worldNormal, Point3 *  localPoint, Point3 *  localNormal, Point3 *  bary, int *  index, BOOL *  shift, BOOL *  ctrl, BOOL *  alt, float *  radius, float *  str, float *  pressure, INode **  node, BOOL  mirrorOn, Point3 *  worldMirrorPoint, Point3 *  worldMirrorNormal, Point3 *  localMirrorPoint, Point3 *  localMirrorNormal  )

pure virtual

This is called as the user ends a strokes when the users has it set to update on mouse up only.

the canvas gets a list of all points, normals etc instead of one at a time

Parameters

ct	- the number of elements in the following arrays
hit,mousePos,worldPoint,worldNormal,localPoint,localNormal,bary,index,shift,ctrl,alt,radius,str,pressure,node,mirrorOn,worldMirrorPoint,worldMirrorNormal,localMirrorPoint,localMirrorNormal	see PaintStroke() these are identical except they are arrays of values

virtual BOOL CancelStroke ( )

pure virtual

This is called as the user cancels a stroke by right clicking.

virtual BOOL SystemEndPaintSession ( )

pure virtual

This is called when the painter want to end a paint session for some reason.

virtual void PainterDisplay ( TimeValue  t, ViewExp *  vpt, int  flags  )

pure virtual

this is called when the painter updates the view ports this will let you do custom drawing if you need to
