meshTransformComputer

Introduction

This example is about how to write a template processor of the MESH scene graph. The MESH scene graph is based upon two template nodes which are X3DTK::MESH::TemplateMesh and X3DTK::MESH::VertexSet, allowing to write generic template processors that have these template parameters.

Here we write a simple X3DTK::X3DProcessor that traverses the MESH scene graph and prints some basic informations which are the matrix transformations to the world coordinates as well as the list of points (in the world coordinates) for a X3DTK::MESH::TemplateMesh. For an example of processor creation see glNormalViewer.

This example illustrates simply the use of templates and the Mesh data mechanism. Indeed the flexibility of the library is that the user is free to choose the Mesh data and use any processor. At the instantiation of the template processor, the compilation will succeed depending on the presence of required data, allowing to have optional data. For more details about this mechanism, I recommend you to see ... or the meshExtension example.

Some important functions and classes:

MESH::TransformComputerStateVariables

We store the matrix stack to enable the transformation of the vertices in the world coordinates.

MESH::TransformComputerCoreVisitor

We define three enter functions for visited nodes. enterTransform and leaveX3DGroupingNode pushes and pops the transform matrices. enterTemplateMesh prints the informations. We test the presence of the VertexPointData by a call to the template method find of VData. Here this data is optional and the code will compile if it is not present in VData. For Visual Studio 6 users, notice the use of the preprocessor directive TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION_SUPPORTED. The difference between the two codes is that in the case of TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION_SUPPORTED, the access of data is optional and there won't be a compilation error if the data is not present.

MESH::TransformComputer

This is the facade of the processor which aggregates the visitors of the different components.
