Detailed Description

The Rotation3dWidget JavaScript class. A rotatable spherical widget.

A 3 dimensional rotation script widget. This widget offers a 3D sphere manipulator that can dragged in the Camera view while using the Transform tool. Dragging the sphere generates a 3D rotation. If no attribute is given at the construction of this object, the object will generate a 3D rotation attribute.

The following properties are supported by the widget:

Property Type Default Value Description
data String - The name of the automatically generated 3D rotation attribute (if none is provided)
data Attribute - An attribute of 3D rotation type that can be shared with another widget or node.
radius float 1 The radius of the 3D sphere in field.
color ColorRGBA 255, 0, 0, 120 The colour of the sphere manipulator.
selection_color ColorRGBA 255, 0, 0, 180 The colour of the sphere manipulator when selected.

The following components constitute the widget:

Component Type
attribute ROTATION_3D
drag_manipulator ROTATION_3D
painter SPHERE
picker MONO
local_transformation ROTATION_3D

Connect to this scriptWidget valueChanged signal to be notified when a modification has been applied to the widget.

{
var myRotation3dWidget = new Rotation3dWidget(
{
data : "Rotation3D",
radius : 2,
color : ColorRGBA(0,255,0, 120),
selected_color : ColorRGBA(0,255,0, 120)
} );
// Register a callback for when a transformation tool value changes.
myRotation3dWidget.valueChanged.connect( my3dRotationChangedFunction );
Controller.controls.push(myRotation3dWidget);
}

In the callback function, convert the widget value into an action (like modifying a peg attribute value).

function my3dRotationChangedFunction(newRotation)
{
// Create a rotation matrix based on the 3D rotation of the widget.
var xaxis = new Vector3d( 1,0,0 );
var yaxis = new Vector3d( 0,1,0 );
var zaxis = new Vector3d( 0,0,1 );
var rotationMatrix = new Matrix4x4();
rotationMatrix.rotateDegrees( newRotation.x, xaxis );
rotationMatrix.rotateDegrees( newRotation.y, yaxis );
rotationMatrix.rotateDegrees( newRotation.z, zaxis );
// Rotate the original position of a series of pegs
for(var i=0; i < myPegs.length; ++i)
{
var newPosition = rotationMatrix.multiply(myPegs[i].position);
node.setTextAttr(myPegs[i].path, "POSITION.X", frame.current(), newPosition.x);
node.setTextAttr(myPegs[i].path, "POSITION.Y", frame.current(), newPosition.y);
node.setTextAttr(myPegs[i].path, "POSITION.Z", frame.current(), newPosition.z);
}
}
