Detailed DescriptionThe SoVRMLCylinderSensor class maps pointer motion into rotations around the Y axis​. The detailed class documentation is taken verbatim from the VRML97 standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997)​. It is copyright The Web3D Consortium, and is used by permission of the Consortium:

CylinderSensor { exposedField SFBool autoOffset TRUE exposedField SFFloat diskAngle 0.262 # (0,/2) exposedField SFBool enabled TRUE exposedField SFFloat maxAngle -1 # [-2,2] exposedField SFFloat minAngle 0 # [-2,2] exposedField SFFloat offset 0 # (-inf, inf) eventOut SFBool isActive eventOut SFRotation rotation_changed eventOut SFVec3f trackPoint_changed } The CylinderSensor node maps pointer motion (e​.g​., a mouse or wand) into a rotation on an invisible cylinder that is aligned with the Y-axis of the local coordinate system​. The CylinderSensor uses the descendent geometry of its parent node to determine whether it is liable to generate events​. The enabled exposed field enables and disables the CylinderSensor node​. If TRUE, the sensor reacts appropriately to user events​. If FALSE, the sensor does not track user input or send events​. If enabled receives a FALSE event and isActive is TRUE, the sensor becomes disabled and deactivated, and outputs an isActive FALSE event​. If enabled receives a TRUE event the sensor is enabled and ready for user activation​. A CylinderSensor node generates events when the pointing device is activated while the pointer is indicating any descendent geometry nodes of the sensor's parent group​. See 4​.6​.7​.5, Activating and manipulating sensors (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.7.5), for more details on using the pointing device to activate the CylinderSensor​. Upon activation of the pointing device while indicating the sensor's geometry, an isActive TRUE event is sent​. The initial acute angle between the bearing vector and the local Y-axis of the CylinderSensor node determines whether the sides of the invisible cylinder or the caps (disks) are used for manipulation​. If the initial angle is less than the diskAngle, the geometry is treated as an infinitely large disk lying in the local Y=0 plane and coincident with the initial intersection point​. Dragging motion is mapped into a rotation around the local +Y-axis vector of the sensor's coordinate system​. The perpendicular vector from the initial intersection point to the Y-axis defines zero rotation about the Y-axis​. For each subsequent position of the bearing, a rotation_changed event is sent that equals the sum of the rotation about the +Y-axis vector (from the initial intersection to the new intersection) plus the offset value​. trackPoint_changed events reflect the unclamped drag position on the surface of this disk​. When the pointing device is deactivated and autoOffset is TRUE, offset is set to the last value of rotation_changed and an offset_changed event is generated​. See 4​.6​.7​.4, Drag sensors (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.7.4), for a more general description of autoOffset and offset fields​. If the initial acute angle between the bearing vector and the local Y-axis of the CylinderSensor node is greater than or equal to diskAngle, then the sensor behaves like a cylinder​. The shortest distance between the point of intersection (between the bearing and the sensor's geometry) and the Y-axis of the parent group's local coordinate system determines the radius of an invisible cylinder used to map pointing device motion and marks the zero rotation value​. For each subsequent position of the bearing, a rotation_changed event is sent that equals the sum of the right-handed rotation from the original intersection about the +Y-axis vector plus the offset value​. trackPoint_changed events reflect the unclamped drag position on the surface of the invisible cylinder​. When the pointing device is deactivated and autoOffset is TRUE, offset is set to the last rotation angle and an offset_changed event is generated​. More details are available in 4​.6​.7​.4, Drag sensors (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.7.4)​. When the sensor generates an isActive TRUE event, it grabs all further motion events from the pointing device until it is released and generates an isActive FALSE event (other pointing-device sensors shall not generate events during this time)​. Motion of the pointing device while isActive is TRUE is referred to as a 'drag​.' If a 2D pointing device is in use, isActive events will typically reflect the state of the primary button associated with the device (i​.e​., isActive is TRUE when the primary button is pressed and FALSE when it is released)​. If a 3D pointing device (e​.g​., a wand) is in use, isActive events will typically reflect whether the pointer is within or in contact with the sensor's geometry​. While the pointing device is activated, trackPoint_changed and rotation_changed events are output and are interpreted from pointing device motion based on the sensor's local coordinate system at the time of activation​. trackPoint_changed events represent the unclamped intersection points on the surface of the invisible cylinder or disk​. If the initial angle results in cylinder rotation (as opposed to disk behaviour) and if the pointing device is dragged off the cylinder while activated, browsers may interpret this in a variety of ways (e​.g​., clamp all values to the cylinder and continuing to rotate as the point is dragged away from the cylinder)​. Each movement of the pointing device while isActive is TRUE generates trackPoint_changed and rotation_changed events​. The minAngle and maxAngle fields clamp rotation_changed events to a range of values​. If minAngle is greater than maxAngle, rotation_changed events are not clamped​. The minAngle and maxAngle fields are restricted to the range [-2, 2]​. More information about this behaviour is described in 4​.6​.7​.3, Pointing-device sensors, 4​.6​.7​.4, Drag sensors (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.7.4), and 4​.6​.7​.5 (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.7.5), Activating and manipulating sensors​.

Member Function Documentation
SoType SoVRMLCylinderSensor::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​. Reimplemented from SoVRMLDragSensor​.
const SoFieldData * SoVRMLCylinderSensor::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 SoVRMLDragSensor​.
