## Detailed Description

The SoPickAction class is the base class for picking actions.

The basis for all interaction features that Coin provides for the application programmer is the pick actions. Draggers, manipulators, SoSelection nodes, etc all make use of the functionality provided by the pick actions for selecting and manipulating scene geometry in various ways.

This class is not supposed to be used directly by the application programmer, as it is more a placeholder for the common interface of picking operations. It does not contain any actual code for doing scene graph picks.

Coin provides a fully functional picking action for the application programmer to use through the SoRayPickAction class (which inherits the SoPickAction class).

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## SoPickAction()

SoPickAction::SoPickAction | ( | const SbViewportRegion & | viewportregion | ) |

protected

Constructor.

## ~SoPickAction()

SoPickAction::~SoPickAction | ( | void |  | ) |

protected virtual

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## getTypeId()

SoType SoPickAction::getTypeId | ( | void |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoAction. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Implements SoAction.

Reimplemented in SoRayPickAction.

## getClassTypeId()

SoType SoPickAction::getClassTypeId | ( | void |  | ) |

static

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

## addMethod()

void SoPickAction::addMethod | ( | const SoType | type,
|  | SoActionMethod | method )

static

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

## enableElement()

void SoPickAction::enableElement | ( | const SoType | type,
|  | const int | stackindex )

static

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

## getEnabledElements()

const SoEnabledElementsList & SoPickAction::getEnabledElements | ( | void |  | ) | const

protected virtual

Returns list of enabled elements.

Reimplemented from SoAction.

Reimplemented in SoRayPickAction.

## getClassEnabledElements()

SoEnabledElementsList * SoPickAction::getClassEnabledElements | ( | void |  | ) |

static protected

Returns list of enabled elements for this class. The enabledElements and methods variables are protected in the original OIV API. This is not such a good idea, since exposed static class member variables is a major grievance with regard to Win32 DLLs. This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

## getClassActionMethods()

SoActionMethodList * SoPickAction::getClassActionMethods | ( | void |  | ) |

static protected

Returns list of action methods for this class. The enabledElements and methods variables are protected in the original OIV API. This is not such a good idea, since exposed static class member variables is a major grievance with regard to Win32 DLLs. This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

## initClass()

void SoPickAction::initClass | ( | void |  | ) |

static

Initializes the runtime type system for this class, and sets up the enabled elements and action method list.

## setViewportRegion()

void SoPickAction::setViewportRegion | ( | const SbViewportRegion & | newregion | ) |

Set a new viewport region to replace the one passed in with the constructor.

## getViewportRegion()

const SbViewportRegion & SoPickAction::getViewportRegion | ( | void |  | ) | const

Returns the viewport region used by the action.

## enableCulling()

void SoPickAction::enableCulling | ( | const SbBool | flag | ) |

Don't calculate bounding boxes and try to do culling when picking.

This can provide a speed-up in cases where the default setting of `on` would be inefficient.

## isCullingEnabled()

SbBool SoPickAction::isCullingEnabled | ( | void |  | ) | const

Returns the current state of the culling flag.

## beginTraversal()

void SoPickAction::beginTraversal | ( | SoNode * | node | ) |

protected virtual

This virtual method is called from SoAction::apply(), and is the entry point for the actual scene graph traversal.

It can be overridden to initialize the action at traversal start, for specific initializations in the action subclasses inheriting SoAction.

Default method just calls traverse(), which any overridden implementation of the method must do too (or call SoAction::beginTraversal()) to trigger the scene graph traversal.

Reimplemented from SoAction.

Reimplemented in SoRayPickAction.

## Member Data Documentation

## vpRegion

SbViewportRegion SoPickAction::vpRegion

protected
