class SoTranReceiver

Detailed Description

Sends database changes for transcription.

This class is used for transcribing Open Inventor data. Transcription is the process of packaging changes to a database and sending them over a "wire" to another database.

The SoTranSender class is used on the sending side of transcription. It packages up changes to an Open Inventor database into a file or memory area defined by an SoOutput instance. It supports a limited set of changes to a database; each change is stored as a command in the transcription area. The SoTranReceiver class can be used at the other end to interpret the transcribed commands.

Member Function Documentation

SoOutput* SoTranSender::getOutput (  )  const [inline]
Returns:
The current SoOutput instance.
void SoTranSender::insert ( SoNode node,
SoNode parent,
int  n 
)

Adds an INSERT command to the transcription area.

The given node will be added as the nth child of the given parent node on the receiving end. A NULL parent node causes the node to be added to the receiving end's root node.

void SoTranSender::insert ( SoNode node  ) 

Adds an INSERT command to the transcription area.

The given node will be added as the last child of the root node on the receiving end.

void SoTranSender::modify ( SoNode node  ) 

Adds a MODIFY command to the transcription area.

Updates the field data for the given node to the new contents. Note that this changes only field data; children of groups are not affected, nor is any non-field instance data.

void SoTranSender::prepareToSend (  ) 

Prepares an SoTranSender instance for transcription, making sure the transcription area is complete and all packaged to go.

This must be called before the transcription can be performed.

void SoTranSender::remove ( SoNode parent,
int  n 
)

Adds a REMOVE command to the transcription area.

The nth child of the given (non-NULL) parent node on the receiving end will be removed.

void SoTranSender::replace ( SoNode parent,
int  n,
SoNode newNode 
)

Adds a REPLACE command to the transcription area.

The nth child of the given (non-NULL) parent node on the receiving end will be replaced with newNode .
