Detailed Description

See also

Class InterfaceServer, Class INodeDisplayControl, Class INode, Class ViewExp, Class IPoint2.

Description:

A callback to allow plug-ins that aren't actually objects (such as utilities) to control a Node's display.

This class enables you to display extra information on top of a node in a viewport. Once activated, a plug-in will control the display (on/off) of a node's world space representation as well as add data in a viewport on a per node basis. This approach allows you to replace the drawing code of every node without adding modifiers on top of each of them.

Member Function Documentation

StartDisplay()

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

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called just before 3ds Max draws the nodes in the scene.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time at which the nodes are being drawn.

ViewExp *vpt

Points to an interface for the viewport the node is being drawn in.

int flags

These flags are used internally.

EndDisplay()

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

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called just after 3ds Max draws the nodes in the scene.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time at which the nodes were drawn.

ViewExp *vpt

Points to an interface for the viewport the node is being drawn in.

int flags

These flags are used internally.

Display()

virtual bool Display ( TimeValue  t, ViewExp *  vpt, int  flags, INode *  node, Object *  pObj  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called for every node to allow it display itself.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time at which the node is to be drawn.

ViewExp *vpt

Points to an interface for the viewport in which the node is being drawn in.

int flags

The display flags, which are;

USE_DAMAGE_RECT

If this flag is set, only the damaged area needs to be displayed. The damaged rectangle may be retrieved using INode::GetDamagedRect(). See Class INode.

DISP_SHOWSUBOBJECT

This indicates if an item should display its sub-object selection state. The system will set this flag is the item is selected, the user is in the modify branch, and the item is in sub-object selection mode.

INode *node

Points to the node being drawn.

Returns

true if displayed, otherwise false.

SuspendObjectDisplay()

virtual bool SuspendObjectDisplay ( TimeValue  t, INode *  node  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called to determine if the node mesh should be displayed. It should return true; otherwise return false.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time at which to check if the node should be displayed.

INode *node

The node to check.

AddNodeCallbackBox()

virtual void AddNodeCallbackBox ( TimeValue  t, INode *  node, ViewExp *  vpt, Box3 &  box, Object *  pObj  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method will ask the callback to participate in the bounding box calculation.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time at which to calculate the bounding box.

INode *node

The node to calculate the bounding box for.

ViewExp *vpt

Points to an interface for the viewport in which the node is being drawn in.

Box3& box

A reference to the bounding box.

HitTest()

virtual bool HitTest ( TimeValue  t, INode *  node, int  type, int  crossing, int  flags, IPoint2 *  p, ViewExp *  vpt, Object *  pObj  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method hit tests the callback's mesh.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time at which to hit test.

INode *node

A pointer to the node to test.

int type

The type of hit testing to perform. See Scene and Node Hit Test Types..

int crossing

The state of the crossing setting. If TRUE crossing selection is on.

int flags

The hit test flags. See Scene and Node Hit Testing Flags for details.

IPoint2 *p

The screen point to test.

ViewExp* vpt

An interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.

Returns

true if the item was hit, otherwise false.

Activate()

virtual void Activate ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called when the callback gets activated. It is up to the callback to invalidate the screen.

Deactivate()

virtual void Deactivate ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called when the callback is deactivated.

GetName()

virtual MSTR GetName ( ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns the name of the callback which is used for display in the menu. The user must delete the string returned.
