The bi-dimensional measure is defined by two finite, // orthogonal lines that intersect within the finite extent of both lines. // The lengths of these two lines gives the bi-dimensional measure. Each line // is defined by two handle widgets at the end points of each line. // // The orthognal constraint on the two lines limits how the four end points // can be positioned. The first two points can be placed arbitrarily to // define the first line (similar to vtkDistanceWidget). The placement of the // third point is limited by the finite extent of the first line. As the // third point is placed, the fourth point is placed on the opposite side of // the first line. Once the third point is placed, the second line is defined // since the fourth point is defined at the same time, but the fourth point // can be moved along the second line (i.e., maintaining the orthogonal // relationship between the two lines). Onced defined, any of the four points // can be moved along their constraint lines. Also, each line can be translated // along the other line (in an orthogonal direction), and the whole // bi-dimensional widget can be rotated about its center point (see the description // of the event bindings). Finally, selecting the point where the two orthogonal // axes intersect, the entire widget can be translated in any direction. // // Placement of any point results in a special PlacePointEvent invocation so // that special operations may be performed to reposition the point. Motion // of any point, moving the lines, or rotating the widget cause // InteractionEvents to be invoked. Note that the widget has two fundamental // modes: a define mode (when initially placing the points) and a manipulate // mode (after the points are placed). Line translation and rotation are only // possible in manipulate mode. // // To use this widget, specify an instance of vtkBiDimensionalWidget and a // representation (e.g., vtkBiDimensionalRepresentation2D). The widget is // implemented using four instances of vtkHandleWidget which are used to // position the end points of the two intersecting lines. The representations // for these handle widgets are provided by the // vtkBiDimensionalRepresentation2D class. // // .SECTION Event Bindings // By default, the widget responds to the following VTK events (i.e., it // watches the vtkRenderWindowInteractor for these events): //
// LeftButtonPressEvent - define a point or manipulate a handle, line, // perform rotation or translate the widget. // MouseMoveEvent - position the points, move a line, rotate or translate the widget // LeftButtonReleaseEvent - release the selected handle and end interaction //// // Note that the event bindings described above can be changed using this // class's vtkWidgetEventTranslator. This class translates VTK events // into the vtkBiDimensionalWidget's widget events: //
// vtkWidgetEvent::AddPoint -- (In Define mode:) Add one point; depending on the // state it may the first, second, third or fourth // point added. (In Manipulate mode:) If near a handle, // select the handle. Or if near a line, select the line. // vtkWidgetEvent::Move -- (In Define mode:) Position the second, third or fourth // point. (In Manipulate mode:) Move the handle, line or widget. // vtkWidgetEvent::EndSelect -- the manipulation process has completed. //// // This widget invokes the following VTK events on itself (which observers // can listen for): //
// vtkCommand::StartInteractionEvent (beginning to interact) // vtkCommand::EndInteractionEvent (completing interaction) // vtkCommand::InteractionEvent (moving a handle, line or performing rotation) // vtkCommand::PlacePointEvent (after a point is positioned; // call data includes handle id (0,1,2,4)) //// .SECTION See Also // vtkHandleWidget vtkDistanceWidget #ifndef __vtkBiDimensionalWidget_h #define __vtkBiDimensionalWidget_h #include "vtkAbstractWidget.h" class vtkBiDimensionalRepresentation2D; class vtkHandleWidget; class vtkBiDimensionalWidgetCallback; class VTK_WIDGETS_EXPORT vtkBiDimensionalWidget : public vtkAbstractWidget { public: // Description: // Instantiate this class. static vtkBiDimensionalWidget *New(); // Description: // Standard methods for a VTK class. vtkTypeRevisionMacro(vtkBiDimensionalWidget,vtkAbstractWidget); void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent); // Description: // The method for activiating and deactiviating this widget.
