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.
