Type aliases

BeginConfig

Configuration object detailing how an incremental selection begins.

Mode

Determines whether or not selections are performed using the View or the SelectionManager

Predicate

Type used for a selection predicate. The predicate is used to filter selection items.

Methods

clearSelection

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.clearSelection(this)

Stops and clears the selection.

Arguments

• this (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection()) –

Return type

Promise[void]

Returns

A Promise that resolves when completed.

isIdle

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.isIdle()

Returns whether or not this object has an active selection in progress.

Return type

boolean

Returns

true if active and false if idle.

performSelection

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.performSelection(this, beginConfig, predicate)

Perform an incremental selection using the SelectionManager

Arguments

• this (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection()) –

• beginConfig (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.BeginConfig()) –

• predicate ({  }()) –

Return type

Promise[void]

Returns

A Promise that resolves when the selection has completed.

Selected objects will incrementally be added to the SelectionManager as the incremental selection progresses.

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.performSelection(this, beginConfig, predicate)

Perform an incremental selection using the View

Arguments

• this (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection()) –

• beginConfig (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.BeginConfig()) –

• predicate ({  }()) –

Return type

Promise[[Communicator.Selection.NodeSelectionItem]]

Returns

A Promise of all selected items when selection has completed.

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.performSelection(this, beginConfig, predicate, outItems)

Perform an incremental selection using the View

Arguments

• this (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection()) –

• beginConfig (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.BeginConfig()) –

• predicate ({  }()) –

• outItems ([Communicator.Selection.NodeSelectionItem]()) –

Return type

Promise[[Communicator.Selection.NodeSelectionItem]]

Returns

A Promise that resolves to outItems when selection has completed.

Selected objects will incrementally be added to the outItems argument as the incremental selection progresses.

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.performSelection(this, beginConfig, predicate)

Arguments

• this (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection()) –

• beginConfig (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.BeginConfig()) –

• predicate ({  }()) –

Return type

Promise[{  }]

stopSelection

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.stopSelection()

Stops the selection.

Return type

Promise[void]

Returns

A Promise that resolves when completed.

waitForIdle

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.waitForIdle()

Used to wait for this object to become idle.

Return type

Promise[void]

Returns

A promise that resolves when this becomes idle.

create

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.create(mode, viewer)

Creates a new IncrementalSelection object that can be used to perform incremental selections.

Arguments

• mode (M()) – Controls whether or not selections are performed using the View or the SelectionManager

• viewer (Communicator.WebViewer()) – The WebViewer of the scene.

Return type

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection

Returns

The created IncrementalSelection object.

isConvexPolyhedronConfig

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.isConvexPolyhedronConfig(config)

Determines if the input BeginConfig is a ConvexPolyhedronConfig.

Arguments

Return type

unknown

Returns

true if config is a ConvexPolyhedronConfig and false otherwise.

isRayDrillConfig

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.isRayDrillConfig(config)

Determines if the input BeginConfig is a RayDrillConfig.

Arguments

• config (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.BeginConfig()) – The config to test.

Return type

unknown

Returns

true if config is a RayDrillConfig and false otherwise.

isScreenByAreaConfig

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.isScreenByAreaConfig(config)

Determines if the input BeginConfig is a ScreenByAreaConfig.

Arguments

• config (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.BeginConfig()) – The config to test.

Return type

unknown

Returns

true if config is a ScreenByAreaConfig and false otherwise.

isSphereConfig

Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.isSphereConfig(config)

Determines if the input BeginConfig is a SphereConfig.

Arguments

• config (Communicator.Util.IncrementalSelection.BeginConfig()) – The config to test.

Return type

unknown

Returns

true if config is a SphereConfig and false otherwise.
