Detailed Description

Base class for objects held in a group.

Library: ilvproto

IlvGroupNode is the base class for group nodes. It is an abstract base class and must be subclassed to include a particular kind of object in groups.

See also
IlvGroupAccessor, IlvGroupFile.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvGroupNode::IlvGroupNode ( const char *  name = 0)

Creates a new group node with the provided name.

Parameters
nameIf non-null, a copy of the string is stored by the group node. Otherwise, the group node can use a subclass-dependent method to determine its name.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvGroupNode* IlvGroupNode::copy ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns a copy of the group node.

Should be implemented by subclasses. Whether the data they hold is shared is left to the implementation.

Returns
A copy of the group node.

Implemented in IlvSubGroupNode.

virtual const char* IlvGroupNode::getName ( ) const
virtual

Returns the name of the group node.

If a name was explicitly specified when the node was created, or if the setName method was called, this name is returned. Otherwise, a subclass-dependent method is used to find a default node name.

Returns
Name of the group node.

Implements IlvAccessible.

Reimplemented in IlvSubGroupNode, and IlvGraphicNode.

const char* IlvGroupNode::getPath ( )

Returns the fully qualified path name of the node with respect to its top level group.

Returns
A path containing dot characters if there are several levels of groups, and can be passed to the IlvGroup::findNode method of the top level group to get the node. The string is allocated in a temporary buffer. Thus, it may lose its content between successive invocations of the getPath method or other methods that use the same buffer. Hence, if the result is to be used in a persistent way, it should be copied.
See also
IlvAllocString.
static IlvGroupNode* IlvGroupNode::read ( IlvGroupInputFile f,
IlvDisplay display 
)
static

Reads a group node from an IlvGroupInputFile.

Parameters
fGroup input file allowing the information describing the group to be read.
displayDisplay used to initialize graphic objects contained in the group node.
Returns
A group node if read was successful, and 0 otherwise.
virtual void IlvGroupNode::setName ( const char *  name)
virtual

Sets the name of the node.

A copy of name is stored in the node. This method can be overridden.

Reimplemented in IlvGraphicNode.

virtual void IlvGroupNode::write ( IlvGroupOutputFile f) const
virtual

Writes the group node to an IlvGroupOutputFile.

Must be overridden by subclasses to save specific information.

Parameters
fGroup output file holding reference information on the group being read.

Reimplemented in IlvSubGroupNode.
