Detailed Description

The CheckboxWidget JavaScript class. A checkbox widget.

This widget must be linked to a BOOL attribute. The widget manipulator is a square area. The color for the on/off states can be specified at object creation. When the area is clicked, the BOOL attribute is set to true, a cross is displayed in the widget box, and the "on" color is shown.

The following properties are supported by the widget:

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
data	String	-	The name of the automatically generated position attribute (if none is provided)
data	Attribute	-	An attribute of BOOL type that can be shared with another widget or node.
size	float	1.00	The size (half-extent) of the box.
screen_space	bool	false	When set to true, the checkbox position becomes relative to the screen rather than the scene.
position	Point2d	Point2d(0,0)	Position of the box center in the scene, specified in fields.
outer_color	ColorRGBA	0, 0, 0,255	The outer colour of the box.
on_color	ColorRGBA	0,255, 0,128	The inner colour of the box, when checked.
off_color	ColorRGBA	255, 0, 0,128	The outer colour of the box, when unchecked.
label	String	"text"	Label text
label_color	ColorRGBA	255,255,255,255	Label foreground (text) color.
label_bg_color	ColorRGBA	0, 0, 0,128	Label background color. Accepts transparency values.
label_font	String	"Arial"	Label font name.
label_size	float	10.0	Label font size, in points.
label_pos	Point2d	Point2d(0,0)	Label position, in fields.
label_justify	String	"Left"	Horizontal label text alignment ("Left"/"Center").
label_screenspace	bool	true	Forces the label size to remain constant relative to screen.
label_screenspace_offset	Point2d	Point2d(0,0)	Label position offset, in screen space.

The following components constitute the widget:

Component	Type
attribute	BOOL
drag_manipulator	BUTTON
painter	CHECKBOX
picker	MONO
local_transformation	-

Create this widget to add a floating Master Controller in the camera view:

Controller.onShowControl = function()
{
  MessageLog.trace("\n\n\n");
  MessageLog.trace(" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------");
  MessageLog.trace("| Checkbox Widget Test");
  MessageLog.trace(" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------");
  
  var valAttr = node.getAttr(Controller.node, frame.current(), "checkbox_value");
  
  var mcNameCapture = Controller.node;
  
  var checkboxWidget = new CheckboxWidget(
  {
    data: valAttr,
    position : Point2d(0.,0.),
    screen_space : false,
    outer_color : ColorRGBA(0,0,0,255),
    on_color : ColorRGBA(0,255,0,128),
    off_color : ColorRGBA(255,0,0,128),
    size : 1,
    label : "myText",
    label_color : ColorRGBA(0,0,0,255),
    label_bg_color : ColorRGBA(0,0,0,128),
    label_font : "Arial",
    label_size : 18,
    label_pos : Point2d(0,0),
    label_screenspace_offset : Point2d(0,-400),
    label_justify : "Center",
    label_screenspace : false
  } );
  checkboxWidget.valueChanged.connect(function(toggleValue)
  {
    MessageLog.trace("checkboxWidget.valueChanged!");
  });
  
  Controller.controls = [checkboxWidget];
  MessageLog.trace("Done.");
}

Make sure to setup the Master Controller node specifications properly. e.g.

 <attributes> 
    <attr type="BOOL"       name="checkbox_value"       value="false"       tooltip="Checkbox ON/OFF value."/>
</attributes>
