## Detailed Description

The SoListener class defines listener attributes used when rendering sound.

When rendering geometry, one needs to have a camera defining certain attributes related to viewing. The SoListener plays a similar role when it comes to rendering audio.

If no SoListener has been encountered when a SoVRMLSound node renders itself, it will use the position and the orientation of the current camera. In this case, a gain of 1, a dopplerVelocity of 0 and a dopplerFactor of 0 will be assumed.

Coin does not currently support Doppler effects, so the dopplerVelocity and dopplerFactor fields are currently ignored.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

Listener {
position 0 0 0
orientation 0 0 1 0
dopplerVelocity 0 0 0
dopplerFactor 0
gain 1

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## SoListener()

SoListener::SoListener | ( |  | ) |

Constructor.

## ~SoListener()

SoListener::~SoListener | ( |  | ) |

protected virtual

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## getClassTypeId()

SoType SoListener::getClassTypeId | ( | void |  | ) |

static

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

## getTypeId()

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

virtual

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

Implements SoBase.

## getFieldDataPtr()

const SoFieldData ** SoListener::getFieldDataPtr | ( | void |  | ) |

static protected

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

## getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoListener::getFieldData | ( | void |  | ) | const

protected virtual

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns `NULL`.

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

## audioRender()

void SoListener::audioRender | ( | class SoAudioRenderAction * | action | ) |

protected virtual

Action method for SoAudioRenderAction.

Does common processing for SoAudioRenderAction action instances.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## Member Data Documentation

## position

SoSFVec3f SoListener::position

Listener position. Defaults to (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f).

## orientation

SoSFRotation SoListener::orientation

Listener orientation specified as a rotation value from the default orientation where the listener is looking pointing along the negative Z-axis, with "up" along the positive Y-axis. Defaults to SbRotation(SbVec3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), 0.0f).

## gain

SoSFFloat SoListener::gain

The gain is a scalar amplitude multiplier that attenuates all sounds in the scene. The legal range is [0.0f, any), however a gain value > 1.0f might be clamped to 1.0f by the audio device. Defaults to 1.0f, meaning that the sound is unattenuated. A gain value of 0.5f would be equivalent to a 6dB attenuation. If gain is set to 0.0f, no sound can be heard.

## dopplerVelocity

SoSFVec3f SoListener::dopplerVelocity

The Doppler velocity of the sound. It is the application programmer's responsibility to set this value. Coin does not update this value automatically based on changes in a sound's position. The default value is (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f).

Coin does not yet support Doppler effects.

## dopplerFactor

SoSFFloat SoListener::dopplerFactor

The amount of Doppler effect applied to the sound. The legal range is [0.0f, any>, where 0.0f is default and disable all Doppler effects, 1.0f would be a typical value for this field if Doppler effects are required.

Coin does not yet support Doppler effects.
