Detailed Description

The SoGate class is used to selectively copy values from input to output.

This engine will forward values from the SoGate::input field to the SoGate::output field when the SoGate::enable field is TRUE.

Note that this engine's output field deviates a little from the 'standard' output mechanism of the majority of engine classes: the SoGate::output is not a permanent SoEngineOutput instance, but a pointer to a SoEngineOutput instance. The reason for this is that it is necessary to allocate the output field dynamically to make it match what the SoGate::input is connected to since the type of the SoGate::output always should be the same as the type of the SoGate::input.

The file format for this field is a bit special. Note the leading type specification, which is not necessary for most other field types:

 
   Gate {
     type <multivaluefieldtype>
     [...fields...]
   }
   .fi
 
  
 
 

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoGate::SoGate (SoType type)Constructor. The type of the input/output is specified in type.

References SoType::badType(), SoType::getName(), SbName::getString(), input, output, SoDebugError::post(), and SoGate().

Referenced by SoGate().

Member Function Documentation

void SoGate::initClass (void) [static]Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.

Reimplemented from SoEngine.

void SoGate::inputChanged (SoField * which) [protected, virtual]Called when an input is changed. The default method does nothing, but subclasses may override this method to do the The Right Thing when a specific field is changed.

Reimplemented from SoEngine.

References SoEngineOutput::enable(), enable, SoEngineOutput::isEnabled(), output, and trigger.

Member Data Documentation

SoSFBool SoGate::enableSet whether or not to forward from input to output field.

Referenced by inputChanged().

SoSFTrigger SoGate::triggerCopy the current values of the input field once to the output field.

Referenced by inputChanged().

SoMField * SoGate::inputThe multivalue input field which we will forward to the output when SoGate::enable is TRUE.

Referenced by SoGate().

SoEngineOutput * SoGate::output(SoMField) This is the field output containing the values of SoGate::input.

The type of the field will of course match the type of the input field.

Referenced by inputChanged(), and SoGate().
