Detailed DescriptionThe SoShadowDirectionalLight class is a node for setting up a directional light which casts shadows. Directional lights usually affect everything, but since it's not always feasible to use one shadow map for the entire scene graph. This node has some extra features to work around this. It calculates the intersection between the current view volume and either the scene bounding box, or the bounding box provided in this node. The shadows are only calculated for this volume. This means that you'll get more detailed shadows as you zoom in on items in the scene graph. In addition, you can set the maximum distance from the camera which will be shaded with shadows. Think of this a new far plane for the camera which only affects shadows. As with SoShadowSpotLight, it's possible to optimize further by setting your own shadow caster scene graph in the shadowMapScene field. The example scene graph below demonstrates how you can use this node to create shadows on a large number of objects, and still get decent precision when zooming in. To further reduce the volume covered by the shadowmap, you can set maxShadowDistance to some number > 0. This is the distance from the camera where shadows will be visible. DirectionalLight {

Member Function Documentation
SoType SoShadowDirectionalLight::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
}
}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. Reimplemented from SoDirectionalLight.
const SoFieldData * SoShadowDirectionalLight::getFieldData (void) const [protected], [virtual]Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL. Reimplemented from SoDirectionalLight.
void SoShadowDirectionalLight::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual]Action method for the SoGLRenderAction. This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or who wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL overrides this method. Reimplemented from SoDirectionalLight.
Member Data Documentation
SoSFNode SoShadowDirectionalLight::shadowMapSceneThe shadow map scene graph. If this is NULL (the default), the node will behave as a normal SoDirectionalLight node.
SoSFFloat SoShadowDirectionalLight::maxShadowDistanceThe maximum distance (from the camera) that we'll see shadows from this light source.
SoSFVec3f SoShadowDirectionalLight::bboxCenterCan be used to specify the volume that should be used for calculating the resulting shadow volume.
SoSFVec3f SoShadowDirectionalLight::bboxSizeCan be used to specify the volume that should be used for calculating the resulting shadow volume.
