Detailed Description

A class that holds the Appearance properties of Geometry displayed in the OpenSim Visualizer.

It affects how Geometry is displayed.

Appearance contains properties that apply to all geometry. Geometry that have a surface so that it can be textured will utilize SurfaceProperties, while schematic line drawings (e.g. Arrows, Frames) can utilize CurveProperties which offers thickness.

OpenSim::Appearance::Appearance ( )

inline

◆ ~Appearance()

virtual OpenSim::Appearance::~Appearance ( )

inlinevirtual

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

Appearance* OpenSim::Appearance::clone ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::Object.

◆ get_color()

const SimTK::Vec3& OpenSim::Appearance::get_color ( ) const

inline

Get the value of the color property.

◆ get_opacity()

const double& OpenSim::Appearance::get_opacity ( ) const

inline

Get the value of the opacity property.

◆ get_representation()

OpenSim::VisualRepresentation OpenSim::Appearance::get_representation ( ) const

inline

◆ get_SurfaceProperties()

const SurfaceProperties& OpenSim::Appearance::get_SurfaceProperties ( ) const

inline

Get the value of the SurfaceProperties property.

◆ get_visible()

const bool& OpenSim::Appearance::get_visible ( ) const

inline

Get the value of the visible property.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::Appearance::getClassName ( )

inlinestatic

This returns "Appearance".

See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::Appearance::getConcreteClassName ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.

See also: getClassName()

Implements OpenSim::Object.

◆ safeDownCast()

static Appearance* OpenSim::Appearance::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object * obj )

inlinestatic

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.

Example: cObj = Appearance.safeDownCast(obj). This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<Appearance*>(obj) in C++.

◆ set_color()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_color ( const SimTK::Vec3 & value )

inline

Set the value of the color property.

◆ set_opacity()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_opacity ( const double & value )

inline

Set the value of the opacity property.

◆ set_representation()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_representation ( const OpenSim::VisualRepresentation & rep )

inline

◆ set_SurfaceProperties()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_SurfaceProperties ( const SurfaceProperties & value )

inline

Set the value of the SurfaceProperties property.

◆ set_visible()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_visible ( const bool & value )

inline

Set the value of the visible property.

◆ upd_color()

SimTK::Vec3& OpenSim::Appearance::upd_color ( )

inline

Get a writable reference to the color property.

◆ upd_opacity()

double& OpenSim::Appearance::upd_opacity ( )

inline

Get a writable reference to the opacity property.

◆ upd_SurfaceProperties()

SurfaceProperties& OpenSim::Appearance::upd_SurfaceProperties ( )

inline

Get a writable reference to the SurfaceProperties property.

◆ upd_visible()

bool& OpenSim::Appearance::upd_visible ( )

inline

Get a writable reference to the visible property.

◆ updateFromXMLNode()

void OpenSim::Appearance::updateFromXMLNode	(	SimTK::Xml::Element &	aNode,
		int	versionNumber
	)

inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Updating XML formating to latest revision.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Object.
