Channel

class Channel : public HPS::Sprocket 

The Channel class describes part of an Animation through the use of a Sampler. A Channel is associated to an Animation, and as such needs to be created through one of the Animation::AddChannel functions. Each Channel is specific to a type of animation and targets a specific object in the scene graph.

Public Types

enum class ChannelType

The type of Animation described by this Channel.

Values:

enumerator Translation: The target of this Channel will be translated in space.

enumerator Rotation: The target of this Channel will be rotated.

enumerator Scale: The target of this Channel will be scaled.

enumerator Color: The color of the target of this Channel will be changed.

enumerator Opacity: The opacity of the target of this Channel will be changed.

enumerator CameraPosition: The position of the camera present at the target segment will be changed.

enumerator CameraTarget: The target of the camera present at the target segment will be changed.

enumerator CameraUp: The up vector of the camera present at the target segment will be changed.

Public Functions

void Assign(Channel const &in_that)

Share the underlying smart-pointer of the Channel source.

Parameters:: in_that – The Channel source of the assignment.
Returns:: A reference to this Channel.

Channel()

Channel(Channel const &in_that)

bool Equals(Channel const &in_that) const

Check if the source Channel points to the same underlying impl as this Channel.

Parameters:: in_that – The source Channel to compare to this Animation.
Returns:: true if the objects reference the same impl, false otherwise.

ChannelType GetChannelType() const

Returns the type of Animation which will be performed by this Channel

Returns:: The Channel Type

UTF8 &GetName() const

Returns the name given to this Channel when it was added to an Animation

Returns:: The name of this Channel

Sampler &GetSampler()

Returns the Sampler associated with this Channel

Returns:: The Sampler associated with this Channel

Sampler const &GetSampler() const

Returns the Sampler associated with this Channel

Returns:: The Sampler associated with this Channel

KeyPath const &GetTarget() const

Returns the target of this Channel. If this Channel is being used to animate a camera property this key path will be empty.

Returns:: The SegmentKey targeted by this Channel

inline virtual HPS::Type ObjectType() const

This function returns the type the object, as declared (if the object is derived, this does not give the true type of the derived object).

Returns:: The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.

bool operator!=(Channel const &in_that) const

Check if the source Channel points to a different impl than this Channel.

Parameters:: in_that – The source Channel to compare to this Animation.
Returns:: true if the objects reference different impls, false otherwise.

Channel &operator=(Channel &&in_that)

Channel &operator=(Channel const &in_that)

bool operator==(Channel const &in_that) const

Check if the source Channel points to the same underlying impl as this Channel.

Parameters:: in_that – The source Channel to compare to this Channel.
Returns:: true if the objects reference the same impl, false otherwise.

void SetSampler(Sampler const &sampler)

Sets the Sampler associated with this Channel

Parameters:: in_that – The source Sampler to use.
