Detailed Description

Class FPMixinInterface, Class Point3, Class Ray , Class IManipulatorMgr

Description:
The manipulator system exports a helper plane class. This is very useful when writing OnMouseMove() methods. It is normally used to intersect a view ray with some plane that is used by the manipulator.
Data Members:
static Plane msXYPlane;

This constant defines the XY plane.

static Plane msXZPlane;

This constant defines the XZ plane.

static Plane msYZPlane;

This constant defines the YZ plane.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Plane() [1/3]

ManipExport Plane ( Point3 normal,
Point3 point 
)
Remarks
Constructor.

Create a plane that passes through the given point with the given normal.
Parameters:
Point3& normal

The normal of the plane.

Point3& point

The point the plane should pass through.

◆ Plane() [2/3]

ManipExport Plane ( Point3 p1,
Point3 p2,
Point3 p3 
)
Remarks
Constructor.

Create a plane that passes through all three given points.
Parameters:
Points3& p1, Points3& p2, Points3& p3

The three points the plane should pass through.

◆ Plane() [3/3]

ManipExport Plane ( )
inline
Remarks
Constructor.
64 : mNormal(0,0,1), mPoint(0,0,0), mD(0.0f) {}

Member Function Documentation

◆ Intersect()

ManipExport bool Intersect ( Ray ray,
Point3 intersectionPoint 
)
Remarks
This method will intersect the plane with a ray.
Parameters:
Ray& ray

The ray you wish to test for intersection.

Points3& intersectionPoint

The resulting intersection point, if the ray intersected the plane.
Returns
TRUE if the ray intersects, otherwise FALSE.

◆ GetNormal()

ManipExport Point3& GetNormal ( )
inline
Remarks
This method returns the normal of the plane.
75 { return mNormal; }

◆ GetPoint()

ManipExport Point3& GetPoint ( )
inline
Remarks
This method returns the point that the plane passes through.
78 { return mPoint; }

◆ GetPlaneConstant()

ManipExport float GetPlaneConstant ( )
inline
Remarks
This method returns the plane equation constant.
80 { return mD; }

◆ MostOrthogonal()

ManipExport Plane& MostOrthogonal ( Ray viewDir,
Plane plane 
)
Remarks
This method can be used to test which plane (either this or plane) is most orthogonal with the given view ray, returning that plane. This can be useful in determining which plane to project a view ray onto, if more than one is applicable.
Parameters:
Ray& viewDir

The given view ray.

Plane& plane

The plane to test.

◆ FN_2() [1/2]

◆ FPMostOrthogonal()

ManipExport Plane* FPMostOrthogonal ( Ray viewRay,
FPInterface plane 
)

◆ GetDesc()

ManipExport FPInterfaceDesc* GetDesc ( )
virtual
Remarks
Returns a pointer to the class which contains the interface metadata.

Implements FPInterface.

◆ LifetimeControl()

ManipExport LifetimeType LifetimeControl ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method allows inquiries into the actual lifetime policy of a client and provide a server-controlled delete notify callback.
Returns
One of the following LifetimeTypes:

noRelease

Do not call release, use interface as long as you like. This is the default.

immediateRelease

The interface is only good for one call. The release is implied so a call to release is not required.

wantsRelease

The clients are controlling the lifetime, so the interface needs a Release() when the client has finished.

serverControlled

The server controls the lifetime and will use the InterfaceNotifyCallback to inform the code when it is gone.
Default Implementation:
{ return noRelease; }

Reimplemented from FPMixinInterface.

113 { return wantsRelease; }
@ wantsRelease
Definition: baseinterface.h:104

◆ AcquireInterface()

ManipExport BaseInterface* AcquireInterface ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method is part of the interface reference management and can be implemented by dynamically allocated interfaces for ref-count based lifetime control). This method should return TRUE if it needs Release() to be called.
Default Implementation:
{ return false; }

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.

114 { return this; }

◆ ReleaseInterface()

ManipExport void ReleaseInterface ( )
virtual
Remarks
This method is called when a reference to this object is deleted.
Default Implementation:
{ }

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.
