NavigationCubeControl
-
class
NavigationCubeControl: public HPS::SprocketControl The NavigationCubeControl allows you to turn on or off the navigation cube, move it to a specific corner of the screen, change the material palette used to style it, or otherwise manipulate it. To allow your users to interact with the Navigation Cube, see HPS::NavigationCubeOperator.
Note
The orientation of the NavigationCubeControl is specified by the model in the associated view. See HPS::Model::SetOrientation().

-
NavigationCubeControl(NavigationCubeControl &&in_that) The move constructor creates a NavigationCubeControl by transferring the underlying impl of the rvalue reference to this NavigationCubeControl thereby avoiding a copy and allocation.
Parameters: in_that – An rvalue reference to a NavigationCubeControl to take the impl from.
-
NavigationCubeControl(NavigationCubeControl const &in_that) Initializes a control tied to the same object as in_that.
-
explicit
NavigationCubeControl(View const &in_view) Initializes a control tied to the view in_view.
-
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.
-
NavigationCubeControl &
operator=(NavigationCubeControl &&in_that) The move assignment operator transfers the underlying impl of the rvalue reference to this NavigationCubeControl thereby avoiding a copy.
Parameters: in_that – An rvalue reference to a NavigationCubeControl to take the impl from. Returns: A reference to this NavigationCubeControl.
-
NavigationCubeControl &
operator=(NavigationCubeControl const &in_that) Share the smart-pointer.
-
NavigationCubeControl &
SetInteractivity(bool in_interactivity) Sets the interactivity of this navigation cube. When the navigation cube is interactive, dragging the triad will rotate the scene and clicking on a face, edge or vertex of the cube will snap the camera to the appropriate plane. Making the Navigation Cube interactive pushes the Navigation Cube operator on the current View’s operator stack with High priority
Parameters: in_interactivity – the interactivity of this navigation cube Returns: A reference to this object. By default the navigation cube is not interactive
-
NavigationCubeControl &
SetLocation(Location in_location, HPS::Rectangle const &in_rectangle = HPS::Rectangle(), HPS::IntRectangle in_offsets = HPS::IntRectangle::Zero()) Sets the location of this navigation cube.
Parameters: - in_location – the location of this navigation cube
- in_rectangle – the position of the subwindow containing the navigation cube. Only considered if in_location is set to Custom.
- in_offsets – the pixel-space rectangle to offset to the given position. only used when in_location is Custom
Returns: A reference to this object. By default the navigation cube is set to the top right corner of the View
-
NavigationCubeControl &
SetMaterialPalette(char const *in_material_palette) Sets the material palette of this navigation cube. The material palette supplied to this function should originate from a material kit array with 9 entries. The entries in the material kit array are applied to the navigation cube as follows: Entry 0 - back face color Entry 1 - top face color Entry 2 - left face color Entry 3 - front face color Entry 4 - bottom face color Entry 5 - right face color Entry 6 - mouse-over highlight color Entry 7 - text color Entry 8 - line color
Parameters: in_material_palette – the name of the material palette to be used for this navigation cube Returns: A reference to this object.

SetMaterialPaletteAndText(char const *in_material_palette, char const *in_back_string, char const *in_top_string, char const *in_left_string, char const *in_front_string, char const *in_bottom_string, char const *in_right_string, HPS::TextAttributeKit const &in_text_attributes, HPS::UTF8Array const &in_fallback_fonts = HPS::UTF8Array()) Sets the material palette and text displayed on the navigation cube. note that if you plan on using the navigation cube on a very large and pixel dense screen (example: a large TV), if you wish to specify a custom text size, you should do so using one of the window relative text sizes. The material palette supplied to this function should originate from a material kit array with 9 entries. The entries in the material kit array are applied to the navigation cube as follows: Entry 0 - back face color Entry 1 - top face color Entry 2 - left face color Entry 3 - front face color Entry 4 - bottom face color Entry 5 - right face color Entry 6 - mouse-over highlight color Entry 7 - text color Entry 8 - line color
