Detailed Description

Grouping accessors to change or query all the nodes of a group in one pass.

Library: ilvproto

IlvGroupAccessor is a subclass of IlvAccessor used to query and change values for all the nodes of a group. This class of accessors is not usually used directly by applications. It is used internally by subclasses of IlvGroupNode.

See Also
IlvGroupNode.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvGroupAccessor::IlvGroupAccessor ( const char *  name,
IlvValueTypeClass type 
)

Creates a new group accessor.

When the attribute associated with this name is changed for the group, it will be changed for all the nodes of the group. When the value is queried, it will be queried from all the nodes, and the last value will be returned.

Parameters
nameName of the attribute.
typeType of the attribute.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlUInt IlvGroupAccessor::compareValues ( const IlvAccessorHolder object,
const IlvAccessible ref,
IlvValue values,
IlUShort  count,
IlvValueArray diffs 
) const
virtual

Compares the values in ref and object and returns the differing values.

Compares the objects object and ref for the values specified by the values array of length count. The differences are stored in the diffs array, and the method returns the number of differences. The default implementation simply calls the IlvAccessible::compareValues method, which will query the values for the two objects and compare them one by one. Subclasses may compare values more cleverly by grouping differences: for example, the IlvGroupAccessor subclass detects when all nodes of a group differ homogeneously and reports only one difference for the whole group.
