cee::vis::Model

class Model : public RefCountedObject

Model holds information which is to be gathered to constitute a view.

CEETRON Envision offers several types of models. Model is the base class of all model types. UnstructGridModel is a subclass of Model which adds specific model structure and functionality for representing scientific and engineering models, e.g. finite element data. Other model types are MarkupModel and GeometryModel.

Each view can contain one or more models. See the Model for more information.

Public Functions

Model()

Constructs an empty model.

Str name() const

Returns the name of the model.

setName

void setName(const Str &name)

Sets the name of the model.

The name of the model is not used by CEETRON Envision, but can be used by the user to track and debug applications with lots of models.

bool use2dPixelProjection() const

Returns true if the model is using a 2D pixel exact projection to render its content.

void setUse2dPixelProjection(bool use2dMode)

Specify if this model should use an override camera to render 2D sceen aligned data.

Use this method to enable 2D rendering of items from the MarkupModel and the Geometry model. The items will be fixed in the specified coordinates on the screen and will not change if the user modifies the camera by panning, rotating or zooming.

If enabled, all items in the model will be rendered in an Orthographic projection with the viewport setup to match the screen (OpenGL based) coordinates of the host window. The items in the model will be rendered on top of all other contents of the view, but it is still possible to use the z buffer for ordering within the models with this option enabled.

The x and y coordinate of the cee::Vec3d will be screen coordinates (OpenGL based window coordinates with lower left as origin) and the z coordinate will be used to determine which object to be visible if they overlap. The one with the largest z coordinate will win and be shown.

virtual BoundingBox boundingBox() = 0

Returns the model’s bounding box.

virtual Str modelInfo() const

Returns model info.

Protected Types

enum NotifyAction

Notification sent to the view.

Values:

enumerator NO_ACTION

No update needed.

The viewer are not update.

enumerator MODEL_CHANGED

The Model was changed.

The view(s) showing this model will be updated accordingly

Protected Functions

void notifyObservingViews(NotifyAction notifyAction, const View *exceptView)

Sends a notification to all observing views.

bool hasAnyObservingViewsWithClipping(bool *outExplicitViewClippingIsActive = NULL, bool *outDropShadowClippingIsActive = NULL) const

Returns true if the model is a being viewed in any views where clipping is enabled (either view clipping or shadow clipping)
