Additional Inherited Members

Detailed DescriptionThe SoFieldConverter class is the abstract base class for field converters​. When fields of different types are attempted connected, the Coin library tries to find a field converter class which can be inserted between them, acting as a filter converting values from the master field to values matching the type of the slave field​. If a value type conversion is possible (like between an SoSFFloat field and an SoSFInt32 field, for instance, where we could do a simple typecast for converting the value of one to the other), an SoFieldConverter derived object is inserted​. This class is the abstract base superclass which all such field converters needs to inherit​. Coin comes with one built-in field converter class which takes care of all possible field-to-field conversions we know about​. This means applications programmers should seldom need to care about this class, it will probably only be useful if you expand the Coin library with your own field type classes​. (Doing so is considered advanced use of the library​.) See also SoDB::addConverter()

Member Function Documentation

SoType SoFieldConverter::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase​. This is used for run-time type checking and 'downward' casting​. Usage example: void foo(SoNode * node) { if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) { SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node; // safe downward cast, knows the type } else if (node->getTypeId()​.isOfType(SoGroup::getClassTypeId())) { SoGroup * group = (SoGroup *)node; // safe downward cast, knows the type } }For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses​. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode​.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine​.h (for engine classes) and so on​. For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups​. Implements SoBase​.

const SoFieldData * SoFieldConverter::getFieldData (void) const [virtual]Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance​. If no fields are present, returns NULL​. Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer​.

const SoEngineOutputData * SoFieldConverter::getOutputData (void) const [virtual]This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer​.

Implements SoEngine​.

SoField * SoFieldConverter::getInput (SoType type) [pure virtual]Returns input field for the converter engine​. Must be overridden in non-abstract converter engine classes​. Referenced by SoField::connectFrom(), and SoField::disconnect()​.

SoEngineOutput * SoFieldConverter::getOutput (SoType type) [pure virtual]Returns output for the converter engine​. Must be overridden in non-abstract converter engine classes​. Referenced by SoField::connectFrom(), and SoField::disconnect()​.

SoField * SoFieldConverter::getConnectedInput (void) [virtual]This method is obsoleted in Coin​. It should probably have been private in OIV​.

int SoFieldConverter::getForwardConnections (SoFieldList & l) constReturns fields which are connected as slaves of the engine output​. References SbPList::getLength(), and SoEngine::getOutputs()​. Referenced by SoEngineOutput::getForwardConnections()​.
