## Detailed Description

Class representing a general-purpose node an articulated scene graph.

A node in the scene graph is a node in a structured tree. A node contains information about the transformation which will apply to it and all of it's children. Child nodes can have transforms of their own, which are combined with their parent's transformations.

  This is an abstract class - concrete classes are based on this for specific purposes, e.g. SceneNode, Bone

## Member Function Documentation

## getName()

const String & Ogre::Node::getName | ( | void |  | ) | const

inline

Returns the name of the node.

## getParent()

References Node().

## getOrientation()

const Quaternion & Ogre::Node::getOrientation | ( |  | ) | const

inline

## setOrientation() [1/2]

void Ogre::Node::setOrientation | ( | const Quaternion & | q | ) |

Sets the orientation of this node via a quaternion.

Orientations, unlike other transforms, are not always inherited by child nodes. Whether or not orientations affect the orientation of the child nodes depends on the setInheritOrientation option of the child. In some cases you want a orientating of a parent node to apply to a child node (e.g. where the child node is a part of the same object, so you want it to be the same relative orientation based on the parent's orientation), but not in other cases (e.g. where the child node is just for positioning another object, you want it to maintain it's own orientation). The default is to inherit as with other transforms.

  Note that rotations are oriented around the node's origin.

## setOrientation() [2/2]

void Ogre::Node::setOrientation | ( | Real | w,
|  | Real | x,
|  | Real | y,
|  | Real | z )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

## resetOrientation()

void Ogre::Node::resetOrientation | ( | void |  | ) |

Resets the nodes orientation (local axes as world axes, no rotation).

Orientations, unlike other transforms, are not always inherited by child nodes. Whether or not orientations affect the orientation of the child nodes depends on the setInheritOrientation option of the child. In some cases you want a orientating of a parent node to apply to a child node (e.g. where the child node is a part of the same object, so you want it to be the same relative orientation based on the parent's orientation), but not in other cases (e.g. where the child node is just for positioning another object, you want it to maintain it's own orientation). The default is to inherit as with other transforms.

## setScale() [1/2]

void Ogre::Node::setScale | ( | const Vector3 & | scale | ) |

Sets the scaling factor applied to this node.

Scaling factors, unlike other transforms, are not always inherited by child nodes. Whether or not scalings affect the size of the child nodes depends on the setInheritScale option of the child. In some cases you want a scaling factor of a parent node to apply to a child node (e.g. where the child node is a part of the same object, so you want it to be the same relative size based on the parent's size), but not in other cases (e.g. where the child node is just for positioning another object, you want it to maintain it's own size). The default is to inherit as with other transforms.

  Note that like rotations, scalings are oriented around the node's origin.

## setInheritOrientation()

void Ogre::Node::setInheritOrientation | ( | bool | inherit | ) |

Tells the node whether it should inherit orientation from it's parent node.

Orientations, unlike other transforms, are not always inherited by child nodes. Whether or not orientations affect the orientation of the child nodes depends on the setInheritOrientation option of the child. In some cases you want a orientating of a parent node to apply to a child node (e.g. where the child node is a part of the same object, so you want it to be the same relative orientation based on the parent's orientation), but not in other cases (e.g. where the child node is just for positioning another object, you want it to maintain it's own orientation). The default is to inherit as with other transforms.

Parameters

  inherit | If true, this node's orientation will be affected by its parent's orientation. If false, it will not be affected.

## getInheritOrientation()

bool Ogre::Node::getInheritOrientation | ( | void |  | ) | const

inline

Returns true if this node is affected by orientation applied to the parent node.

Orientations, unlike other transforms, are not always inherited by child nodes. Whether or not orientations affect the orientation of the child nodes depends on the setInheritOrientation option of the child. In some cases you want a orientating of a parent node to apply to a child node (e.g. where the child node is a part of the same object, so you want it to be the same relative orientation based on the parent's orientation), but not in other cases (e.g. where the child node is just for positioning another object, you want it to maintain it's own orientation). The default is to inherit as with other transforms.

See setInheritOrientation for more info.

## setInheritScale()

void Ogre::Node::setInheritScale | ( | bool | inherit | ) |

Tells the node whether it should inherit scaling factors from it's parent node.

Scaling factors, unlike other transforms, are not always inherited by child nodes. Whether or not scalings affect the size of the child nodes depends on the setInheritScale option of the child. In some cases you want a scaling factor of a parent node to apply to a child node (e.g. where the child node is a part of the same object, so you want it to be the same relative size based on the parent's size), but not in other cases (e.g. where the child node is just for positioning another object, you want it to maintain it's own size). The default is to inherit as with other transforms.

Parameters

  inherit | If true, this node's scale will be affected by its parent's scale. If false, it will not be affected.

## getInheritScale()

bool Ogre::Node::getInheritScale | ( | void |  | ) | const

inline

Returns true if this node is affected by scaling factors applied to the parent node.

See setInheritScale for more info.

## scale() [1/2]

void Ogre::Node::scale | ( | const Vector3 & | scale | ) |

Scales the node, combining it's current scale with the passed in scaling factor.

This method applies an extra scaling factor to the node's existing scale, (unlike setScale which overwrites it) combining it's current scale with the new one. E.g. calling this method twice with Vector3(2,2,2) would have the same effect as setScale(Vector3(4,4,4)) if the existing scale was 1.

  Note that like rotations, scalings are oriented around the node's origin.

It's advisable to use the local setPosition if possible

## _setDerivedOrientation()

void Ogre::Node::_setDerivedOrientation | ( | const Quaternion & | q | ) |

Sets the final world orientation of the node directly.

It's advisable to use the local setOrientation if possible, this simply does the conversion for you.

This method returns the full transformation matrix for this node, including the effect of any parent node transformations, provided they have been updated using the Node::_update method. This should only be called by a SceneManager which knows the derived transforms have been updated before calling this method. Applications using Ogre should just use the relative transforms.

## _update()

virtual void Ogre::Node::_update | ( | bool | updateChildren,
|  | bool | parentHasChanged )

virtual

Internal method to update the Node.

Note
  Updates this node and any relevant children to incorporate transforms etc. Don't call this yourself unless you are writing a SceneManager implementation.

Parameters

  updateChildren | If `true`, the update cascades down to all children. Specify false if you wish to update children separately, e.g. because of a more selective SceneManager implementation.
  parentHasChanged | This flag indicates that the parent transform has changed, so the child should retrieve the parent's transform and combine it with its own even if it hasn't changed itself.

Reimplemented in Ogre::BspSceneNode, Ogre::PCZSceneNode, and Ogre::SceneNode.

## setListener()

void Ogre::Node::setListener | ( | Listener * | listener | ) |

## setInitialState()

void Ogre::Node::setInitialState | ( | void |  | ) |

Sets the current transform of this node to be the 'initial state' ie that position / orientation / scale to be used as a basis for delta values used in keyframe animation.

You never need to call this method unless you plan to animate this node. If you do plan to animate it, call this method once you've loaded the node with it's base state, ie the state on which all keyframes are based.

  If you never call this method, the initial state is the identity transform, ie do nothing.

## resetToInitialState()

Vector3 Ogre::Node::convertLocalToWorldDirection | ( | const Vector3 & | localDir,
|  | bool | useScale )

Gets the world direction of a point in the node local space useful for simple transforms that don't require a child node.

## convertWorldToLocalOrientation()

Quaternion Ogre::Node::convertWorldToLocalOrientation | ( | const Quaternion & | worldOrientation | ) |

Gets the local orientation, relative to this node, of the given world-space orientation.

## convertLocalToWorldOrientation()

Quaternion Ogre::Node::convertLocalToWorldOrientation | ( | const Quaternion & | localOrientation | ) |

Gets the world orientation of an orientation in the node local space useful for simple transforms that don't require a child node.

## getInitialOrientation()

const Quaternion & Ogre::Node::getInitialOrientation | ( | void |  | ) | const

inline

Gets the initial orientation of this node, see setInitialState for more info.

## getInitialScale()

const Vector3 & Ogre::Node::getInitialScale | ( | void |  | ) | const

inline

Gets the initial position of this node, see setInitialState for more info.

## getSquaredViewDepth()

Real Ogre::Node::getSquaredViewDepth | ( | const Camera * | cam | ) | const

Helper function, get the squared view depth.

## needUpdate()

virtual void Ogre::Node::needUpdate | ( | bool | forceParentUpdate = false | ) |

virtual

To be called in the event of transform changes to this node that require it's recalculation.

This not only tags the node state as being 'dirty', it also requests it's parent to know about it's dirtiness so it will get an update next time.

Parameters

  forceParentUpdate | Even if the node thinks it has already told it's parent, tell it anyway

Reimplemented in Ogre::Bone, and Ogre::TagPoint.

## requestUpdate()

void Ogre::Node::requestUpdate | ( | Node * | child,
|  | bool | forceParentUpdate = false )

Called by children to notify their parent that they need an update.

Parameters

  child | The child Node to be updated
  forceParentUpdate | Even if the node thinks it has already told it's parent, tell it anyway

References Node().

## cancelUpdate()

void Ogre::Node::cancelUpdate | ( | Node * | child | ) |

Called by children to notify their parent that they no longer need an update.

References Node().

## queueNeedUpdate()

void Ogre::Node::queueNeedUpdate | ( | Node * | n | ) |

static

Queue a 'needUpdate' call to a node safely.

You can't call needUpdate() during the scene graph update, e.g. in response to a Node::Listener hook, because the graph is already being updated, and update flag changes cannot be made reliably in that context. Call this method if you need to queue a needUpdate call in this case.

References Node().

## processQueuedUpdates()

void Ogre::Node::processQueuedUpdates | ( | void |  | ) |

static

Process queued 'needUpdate' calls.

## setUserAny()

void Ogre::Node::setUserAny | ( | const Any & | anything | ) |

inline

Deprecated
  use UserObjectBindings::setUserAny via getUserObjectBindings() instead.
