Detailed Description

The SbDPViewVolume class is a double precision viewing volume in 3D space.

This class contains the necessary information for storing a view
volume. It has methods for projection of primitives from or into the 3D volume, doing camera transforms, view volume transforms etc.

Be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not
available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Orthographic projection.; PERSPECTIVE
Perspective projection.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ortho(), perspective().
SbDPViewVolume::~SbDPViewVolume (void): Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

void SbDPViewVolume::getMatrices (SbDPMatrix & affine, SbDPMatrix & proj): const
Returns the view volume's affine matrix and projection matrix.; See also:
getMatrix(), getCameraSpaceMatrix()
SbDPMatrix SbDPViewVolume::getMatrix (void) const: Returns the combined affine and projection matrix.; See also:
getMatrices(), getCameraSpaceMatrix()
SbDPMatrix SbDPViewVolume::getCameraSpaceMatrix (void) const: Returns a matrix which will translate the view volume camera back to
origo, and rotate the camera so it'll point along the negative z axis.; Note that the matrix will not include the rotation necessary to make the camera up vector point along the positive y axis (i.e. camera roll is not accounted for).; See also:
getMatrices(), getMatrix()
void SbDPViewVolume::projectPointToLine (const SbVec2d & pt, SbDPLine &: line) const
Project the given 2D point from the projection plane into a 3D line.; pt coordinates should be normalized to be within [0, 1].
void SbDPViewVolume::projectPointToLine (const SbVec2d & pt, SbVec3d &: line0, SbVec3d & line1) const Project the given 2D point from the projection plane into two points
defining a 3D line. The first point, line0, will be the corresponding point for the projection on the near plane, while line1 will be the line endpoint, lying in the far plane.
void SbDPViewVolume::projectToScreen (const SbVec3d & src, SbVec3d & dst): const
Project the src point to a normalized set of screen coordinates in the projection plane and place the result in dst.; It is safe to let src and be the same SbVec3d instance.; The z-coordinate of dst is monotonically increasing for points closer to the far plane. Note however that this is not a linear relationship, the dst z-coordinate is calculated as follows:; Orthogonal view: DSTz = (-2 * SRCz - far - near) / (far - near),
Perspective view: DSTz = (-SRCz * (far - near) - 2*far*near) / (far near); The returned coordinates (dst) are normalized to be in range [0, 1].
SbPlane SbDPViewVolume::getPlane (const double distFromEye) const: Returns an SbPlane instance which has a normal vector in the opposite direction of which the camera is pointing. This means the plane will be parallel to the near and far clipping planes.; See also:
getSightPoint()
SbVec3d SbDPViewVolume::getSightPoint (const double distFromEye) const: Returns the point on the center line-of-sight from the camera position with the given distance.; See also:
getPlane()
SbVec3d SbDPViewVolume::getPlanePoint (const double distFromEye, const: SbVec2d & normPoint) const Return the 3D point which projects to normPoint and lies on the plane perpendicular to the camera direction and distFromEye distance away from the camera position.; normPoint should be given in normalized coordinates, where the visible render canvas is covered by the range [0.0, 1.0].
SbDPRotation SbDPViewVolume::getAlignRotation (SbBool rightangleonly =: FALSE) const
Returns a rotation that aligns an object so that its positive x-axis is to the right and its positive y-axis is up in the view volume.; If rightangleonly is TRUE, it will create a rotation that aligns the x and y-axis with the closest orthogonal axes to right and up.
double SbDPViewVolume::getWorldToScreenScale (const SbVec3d & worldCenter,: double normRadius) const
Given a sphere with center in worldCenter and an initial radius of 1.0, return the scale factor needed to make this sphere have a normRadius radius when projected onto the near clipping plane.
SbVec2d SbDPViewVolume::projectBox (const SbBox3f & box) const: Projects the given box onto the projection plane and returns the
normalized screen space it occupies.
SbDPViewVolume SbDPViewVolume::narrow (double left, double bottom, double: right, double top) const
Returns a narrowed version of the view volume which is within the given [0, 1] normalized coordinates. The coordinates are taken to be corner
points of a normalized 'view window' on the near clipping plane. I.e.:

SbDPViewVolume view;
view.ortho(0, 100, 0, 100, 0.1, 1000);
view = view.narrow(0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0);; See also:
scale(), scaleWidth(), scaleHeight()
SbDPViewVolume SbDPViewVolume::narrow (const SbBox3f & box) const: Returns a narrowed version of the view volume which is within the given [0, 1] normalized coordinates. The box x and y coordinates are taken to be corner points of a normalized 'view window' on the near clipping
plane. The box z coordinates are used to adjust the near and far
clipping planes, and should be relative to the current clipping planes. A value of 1.0 is at the current near plane. A value of 0.0 is at the
current far plane.
void SbDPViewVolume::ortho (double left, double right, double bottom,: double top, double nearval, double farval) Set up the view volume as a rectangular box for orthographic parallel
projections. The line of sight will be along the negative z axis,
through the center of the plane defined by the point <(right+left)/2,
(top+bottom)/2, 0>.; See also:
perspective().
void SbDPViewVolume::perspective (double fovy, double aspect, double: nearval, double farval)
Set up the view volume for perspective projections. The line of sight
will be through origo along the negative z axis.; See also:
ortho().
void SbDPViewVolume::frustum (double left, double right, double bottom,: double top, double nearval, double farval) Set up the frustum for perspective projection. This is an alternative
to perspective() that lets you specify any kind of view volumes (e.g. off center volumes). It has the same arguments and functionality as the corresponding OpenGL glFrustum() function.; See also:
perspective()
void SbDPViewVolume::rotateCamera (const SbDPRotation & q): Rotate the direction which the camera is pointing in.; See also:
translateCamera().

far plane.; See also:
zVector().

const SbVec3d & SbDPViewVolume::getProjectionDirection (void) const: Returns the direction of projection, i.e. the direction the camera is
pointing.; See also:
getNearDist().
double SbDPViewVolume::getNearDist (void) const: Returns distance from projection plane to near clipping plane.; See also:

void SbDPViewVolume::getViewVolumePlanes (SbPlane planes[6]) const: Returns the six planes defining the view volume in the following order: left, bottom, right, top, near, far. Plane normals are directed into
