2D/3D Viewport API

This module implements global service and scripting APIs for the UV and 3D graphical viewports.

ILxView3D Object

The application 3D and UV viewports are exposed as a list of ILxView3D objects. Clients will generally find a view in the list, then use the ILxView3D interface to get its specific properties.

(1) SDK: LXu_VIEW3D, etc. defines
 #define LXu_VIEW3D              "02DBFE75-C1AB-4E23-A4C9-90508C7CD7C3"
 #define LXa_VIEW3D              "viewport3d"

ILxView3D Geometric Properties

LXtID4 Space (self) Returns the viewspace type of the view. It will be one of the following for valid indices:
(2) SDK: LXi_VPSPACE_MODEL, etc. defines
 #define LXi_VPSPACE_MODEL               LXxID4('M','O','3','D')
 #define LXi_VPSPACE_TEXTURE             LXxID4('U','V','2','D')
 #define LXi_VPSPACE_WORLD               LXxID4('W','O','3','D')
 #define LXi_VPSPACE_PREVIEW             LXxID4('P','R','E','V')
 #define LXi_VPSPACE_MODEL2D             LXxID4('M','O','2','D')
 #define LXi_VPSPACE_GRAPH               LXxID4('V','P','G','E')
 #define LXi_VPSPACE_SCHEMATIC           LXxID4('S','C','H','M')

int Axis (self, cam, axis) Returns the view axis. Note that perspective views return -1, and that UV views always return a Z axis. For convenience, the view's camera mode is also provided. If it or the 'axis' vector pointers are NULL they will not be filled.
(3) SDK: LXi_VP_AXIS_X, etc. defines
 #define LXi_VP_AXIS_X            0
 #define LXi_VP_AXIS_Y            1
 #define LXi_VP_AXIS_Z            2
 #define LXi_VP_AXIS_PERSP       -1
 #define LXi_VP_AXIS_UV           LXi_VP_AXIS_Z

         LXtObjectID              self);
 
 
         LXxMETHOD(  int,
 Axis) (
         LXtObjectID              self,
         int                     *cam,

         int                     *h);

The grab-bag of view styles is exposed with a deceptively simple function that, in turn, depends on a vast and ragged matrix of options and their potential values.

int Style (self, option) Returns the state of the specified option for the specified view. The option must be one of the LXi_VPSTYLE_* values, and the return state will be the appropriate LXI_VPOPT_* value. For simple2-state options, LXi_VPOPT_OFF and LXi_VPOPT_ON will be returned.

GL Viewport Indirection

The GLViewport object allows clients to get a fully domesticated GL viewport of their own. The object is not associated with any on-screen viewport and can be used with no nexus-native windows at all. Instead it represents GL state that can draw and react to input.

(18) SDK: LXu_GLVIEWPORT define
 #define LXu_GLVIEWPORT          "9F4D9937-FF49-45E4-9781-8085A9463661"

Initialize the new viewport object with the client interface.

         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 Initialize) (
         LXtObjectID              self,
         LXtObjectID              client);

Set the size of the GL area.

         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 SetSize) (
         LXtObjectID              self,
         unsigned                 w,
         unsigned                 h);

Call this to draw the viewport. The GL context must be set correctly.

(21) SDK: GLViewport::Draw
         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 Draw) (
         LXtObjectID              self);

Call this to process a mouse event.

(22) SDK: GLViewport::MouseEvent
         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 MouseEvent) (
         LXtObjectID              self,
         unsigned                 event);

(23) SDK: LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_NONE, etc. defines
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_NONE           0
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_ENTER          1
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_LEAVE          2
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_DOWN           3
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_MOVE           4
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_UP             5
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_WHEELUP        6
 #define LXiGLMOUSE_EVENT_WHEELDOWN      7

The client object allows the owner of the viewport to provide essential information to the GL viewport, and to handle invalidation.

(24) SDK: LXu_GLVIEWPORTCLIENT define
 #define LXu_GLVIEWPORTCLIENT    "2975C75E-1F2C-4448-98BB-D3FA8ADF8595"

This is called by the GL viewport when it needs to redraw.

(25) SDK: GLViewportClient::Invalidate
         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 Invalidate) (
         LXtObjectID              self);

The viewport service will provide access to a list of 3d and UV viewports referenced by index.

int Count(self) Returns the number of viewports
int Current(self) Returns the most recently selected viewport's index
LxResult View(self, index, view) Returns an ILxView3D for viewport at index. Naturally the client is responsible for releasing the returned object.

2D/3D Viewport Script API

The viewport scripting interface tries to be self-describing, by providing queries which enumerate the possible queries, as well as queries which enumerate selectors. A query has a form which can be generally expressed as:

query <service> <attribute>[.<sub-attr>] ? <selector>

Where <service> is always 'viewservice' as far as we're concerned, <attribute> is the main object of the query (e.g. 'view'), the optional <sub-attr> picks what aspect of the object we are interested in (e.g. 'center'), and <selector> specifies which of the objects of this type to query. The selector will often be a numeric index into a list, but it may also be a relative specification, like 'next' or 'current'.

One can get a list of valid selectors for some object by appending 's' to <attribute> (e.g. "query viewservice views ?", which will return a list of valid views). Another standard query for objects is <attribute>.N, which gets the number of objects. Finally the set of possible queries for an object with subqueries is is returned by the plain <attribute> query (e.g. "query viewservice view ?").

View Query

These are the possible queries for the 'view' object. The selector query for that query is in brackets:

view [ ] List of view.* queries
view_types [ ] List of selectors for queries which use this kind of selector: ('all','Texture','Model', 'Scene')
views [ view_types ] List of view selectors for views of type specified by the view_type selector
view.N [ view_types ] Number of views of type specified by selector
view.type [ views ] Type of view (front, back, perspective, top, UV, etc.)
view.rect [ views ] The position and size of the view, as x,y,w,h
view.axis [ views ] An axis vector for the view
view.center [ views ] 3D center position for view
view.scale [ views ] The approx. size in model units of a single pixel in the view
view.angles [ views ] View orientation as heading, pitch, bank angles
view.shade [ views ] Shading mode for view (wireframe, sketch, texture, etc.)
view.wire [ views ] Wireframe overlay enabled for view (1==on, 0==off)
view.vcolor [ views ] Vertex coloring mode for view
view.smooth [ views ] Smoothing enabled for view
view.bgmode [ views ] Background drawing mode for view
view.verts [ views ] Vertex visibility enabled
view.cage [ views ] Cage visibility enabled
view.guide [ views ] Guide visibility enabled
view.image [ views ] BG Image name
view.gridSize [ views ] The current grid size

Mouse Query

Tracking user events and mousing through scripting can be tricky, but this should work:

mouse [ ] List of mouse.* queries
mouse.view [ ] Index of view mouse is over (-1 for mouse NOT over UV/3D view)
mouse.pixel [ ] Current pixel position of cursor
mouse.pos [ ] Current 3D position of cursor, using something akin to default event translation.
mouse.hitPos [ ] Gives hit position of geometry under the mouse.
mouse.hitNrm [ ] Gives hit normal of geometry under the mouse.
mouse.rayDir [ ] Gives the ray direction from the mouse.

Element Query

element [ ] List of element.* queries
element_types [ ] Selectors for element query: 'vert', 'poly', 'edge', 'item'
element.over [ element_types ] List of elements of type indicated by selector which the mouse if over. The elements are presented in a form suitable for layerservice queries (i.e. layer index, element index or indices).

Palette Query

Preset Query

Simulation Listener

This global listener can be used to track the state changes related to interactive simulation.

(41) SDK: LXu_SIMULATIONLISTENER, etc. defines
 #define LXu_SIMULATIONLISTENER  "628A3377-C56B-4801-878C-8BF87A097D29"
 #define LXa_SIMULATIONLISTENER  "simulationlistener"

These methods are called when the simulation mode starts and ends. The start event is passed a ChannelRead object for reading the outputs of the simulation.

(42) SDK: SimulationListener::Start, etc.
         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 Start) (
         LXtObjectID              self,
         LXtObjectID              channels);
 
         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 End) (
         LXtObjectID              self);

Current time for the simulation is set here.

(43) SDK: SimulationListener::Time
         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 Time) (
         LXtObjectID              self,
         double                   time);

Any time the simulation has new results the listener clients are invalidated.

(44) SDK: SimulationListener::Invalidate
         LXxMETHOD(  LxResult,
 Invalidate) (
         LXtObjectID              self);
