Detailed Description

This class captures information indicating user or programmer preferences to guide automatic display geometry generation by a Model.

Fields here may be set programmatically or as a result of user choices made in the GUI or ModelVisualizer. Any display-generating code including the GUI, ModelVisualizer, and any geometry-generating ModelComponent will be supplied with one of these so that it can modify its behavior if there are any fields it recognizes.

If you are writing a ModelComponent that generates some of its own geometry, and you would like people to consider it well-behaved, you should check whether any of the flags here might reasonably be expected to affect the geometry that your component produces. The currently-supported flags are:

  • show wrap geometry
  • show contact geometry
  • show muscle paths (should apply to other path objects too)
  • show path points
  • show markers
  • show forces
  • show frames
  • show labels
  • show debug geometry

This class is intended to provide some minimal user control over generated geometry in a form that is easy for a ModelComponent author to deal with, since the OpenSim user interface won't know anything about that component or its geometry. Nothing prevents a user interface from providing much more sophisticated control of display features that it understands and the OpenSim GUI does that.

If you would like to see some additional generally-useful flags or options supported here, please file a feature request or post to the OpenSim forum on SimTK.org.

Note
The "set" methods here return a reference to the object so they can be chained for convenience like assignment statements.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ModelDisplayHints()

OpenSim::ModelDisplayHints::ModelDisplayHints ( )
inline

Default construction creates a valid display hints object with all hints set to their default values.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

ModelDisplayHints* OpenSim::ModelDisplayHints::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.

const SimTK::Vec3& OpenSim::ModelDisplayHints::get_marker_color ( ) const
inline

Get the value of the marker_color property.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::ModelDisplayHints::getClassName ( )
inlinestatic

This returns "ModelDisplayHints".

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

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::ModelDisplayHints::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.
