Detailed Description

A class that holds the Appearance properties of Geometry displayed in the OpenSim Visualizer.

It affects how Geometry is displayed.

Appearance contains properties that apply to all geometry. Geometry that have a surface so that it can be textured will utilize SurfaceProperties, while schematic line drawings (e.g. Arrows, Frames) can utilize CurveProperties which offers thickness.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Self

This typedef might be useful within the member functions of this class.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Super

Use this typedef to refer to the superclass of this class.

Avoid using the explicit type name of the superclass; this would introduce bugs if the superclass is changed.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign()

void OpenSim::Appearance::assign ( Object aObject)
inlineoverride

This allows copy assignment in the Java GUI.

Exceptions
Exceptionif the argument is not of type Appearance.

◆ clone()

Appearance* OpenSim::Appearance::clone ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::Object.

◆ get_color()

const SimTK::Vec3& OpenSim::Appearance::get_color ( ) const
inline

Get the value of the color property.

◆ get_opacity()

const double& OpenSim::Appearance::get_opacity ( ) const
inline

Get the value of the opacity property.

◆ get_representation()

OpenSim::VisualRepresentation OpenSim::Appearance::get_representation ( ) const
inline

◆ get_SurfaceProperties()

const SurfaceProperties& OpenSim::Appearance::get_SurfaceProperties ( ) const
inline

Get the value of the SurfaceProperties property.

◆ get_visible()

const bool& OpenSim::Appearance::get_visible ( ) const
inline

Get the value of the visible property.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::Appearance::getClassName ( )
inlinestatic

This returns "Appearance".

See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::Appearance::getConcreteClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.

getClassName()

Implements OpenSim::Object.

◆ safeDownCast()

static Appearance* OpenSim::Appearance::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object obj)
inlinestatic

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.

Example: cObj = Appearance.safeDownCast(obj). This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<Appearance*>(obj) in C++.

◆ set_color()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_color ( const SimTK::Vec3 value)
inline

Set the value of the color property.

◆ set_opacity()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_opacity ( const double &  value)
inline

Set the value of the opacity property.

inline

◆ set_SurfaceProperties()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_SurfaceProperties ( const SurfaceProperties value)
inline

Set the value of the SurfaceProperties property.

◆ set_visible()

void OpenSim::Appearance::set_visible ( const bool &  value)
inline

Set the value of the visible property.

inline

Get a writable reference to the color property.

◆ upd_opacity()

double& OpenSim::Appearance::upd_opacity ( )
inline

Get a writable reference to the opacity property.

◆ upd_SurfaceProperties()

inline

Get a writable reference to the SurfaceProperties property.

◆ upd_visible()

bool& OpenSim::Appearance::upd_visible ( )
inline

Get a writable reference to the visible property.
