Detailed Description

The QObjectPicker class instantiates a component that can be used to interact with a QEntity by a process known as picking.

The signals pressed(), released(), clicked(), moved(), entered(), and exited() are emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray.

Pick queries are performed on mouse press and mouse release. If drag is enabled, queries also happen on each mouse move while any button is pressed. If hover is enabled, queries happen on every mouse move even if no button is pressed.

Note: Instances of this component shouldn't be shared, not respecting that condition will most likely result in undefined behavior.

Member Function Documentation

QObjectPicker::QObjectPicker(QNode *parent = nullptr)

Default constructs an instance of QObjectPicker.

[signal] void QObjectPicker::clicked(Qt3DRender::QPickEvent *pick)

This signal is emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray on a mouse click the QPickEvent pick contains details of the event.

bool QObjectPicker::containsMouse() const

Returns true if the object picker currently contains the mouse

Note: Getter function for property containsMouse.

[signal] void QObjectPicker::entered()

This signal is emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray on the mouse entering the volume.

[signal] void QObjectPicker::exited()

This signal is emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray on the ray exiting the volume.

bool QObjectPicker::isDragEnabled() const

Returns true if dragging is enabled

Note: Getter function for property dragEnabled.

bool QObjectPicker::isHoverEnabled() const

Returns true if hover enabled

Note: Getter function for property hoverEnabled.

[signal] void QObjectPicker::moved(Qt3DRender::QPickEvent *pick)

This signal is emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray on a mouse move with a button pressed the QPickEvent pick contains details of the event.

[signal] void QObjectPicker::pressed(Qt3DRender::QPickEvent *pick)

This signal is emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray on a mouse press the QPickEvent pick contains details of the event.

[signal] void QObjectPicker::released(Qt3DRender::QPickEvent *pick)

This signal is emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray on a mouse release the QPickEvent pick contains details of the event.

[slot] void QObjectPicker::setDragEnabled(bool dragEnabled)

Sets the dragEnabled Property to dragEnabled

Note: Setter function for property dragEnabled.

See also isDragEnabled().

[slot] void QObjectPicker::setHoverEnabled(bool hoverEnabled)

Sets the hoverEnabled Property to hoverEnabled

Note: Setter function for property hoverEnabled.
