Detailed Description

The PlaneSensor node maps pointing device motion into two-dimensional translation in a plane parallel to the Z=0 plane of the local sensor coordinate system.

The local sensor coordinate system is created by applying the axisRotation field value to the local coordinate system. The PlaneSensor node uses the descendent geometry of its parent node to determine whether it is liable to generate events.

The description field in the PlaneSensor node specifies a textual description of the PlaneSensor node. This may be used by browser-specific user interfaces that wish to present users with more detailed information about the PlaneSensor.

The enabled field enables and disables the PlaneSensor. If enabled is TRUE, the sensor reacts appropriately to user events. If enabled is FALSE, the sensor does not track user input or send events. If enabled receives a FALSE event and isActive is TRUE, the sensor becomes disabled and deactivated, and outputs an isActive FALSE event. If enabled receives a TRUE event, the sensor is enabled and made ready for user activation.

The PlaneSensor node generates events when the pointing device is activated while the pointer is indicating any descendent geometry nodes of the sensor's parent group.

Upon activation of the pointing device (e.g., mouse button down) while indicating the sensor's geometry, an isActive TRUE event is sent. Pointer motion is mapped into relative translation in the tracking plane, (a plane parallel to the sensor's local sensor coordinate system Z=0 plane and coincident with the initial point of intersection). For each subsequent movement of the bearing, a translation_changed event is output which corresponds to the sum of the relative translation from the original intersection point to the intersection point of the new bearing in the plane plus the offset value. The sign of the translation is defined by the Z=0 plane of the local sensor coordinate system. trackPoint_changed events reflect the unclamped drag position on the surface of this plane. When the pointing device is deactivated and autoOffset is TRUE, offset is set to the last translation_changed value and an offset_changed event is generated.

minPosition and maxPosition may be set to clamp translation_changed events to a range of values as measured from the origin of the Z=0 plane of the local sensor coordinate system. If the X or Y component of minPosition is greater than the corresponding component of maxPosition, translation_changed events are not clamped in that dimension. If the X or Y component of minPosition is equal to the corresponding component of maxPosition, that component is constrained to the given value. This technique provides a way to implement a line sensor that maps dragging motion into a translation in one dimension.

While the pointing device is activated and moved, trackPoint_changed and translation_changed events are sent. trackPoint_changed events represent the unclamped intersection points on the surface of the tracking plane. If the pointing device is dragged off of the tracking plane while activated (e.g., above horizon line), browsers may interpret this in a variety ways (e.g., clamp all values to the horizon. H3DAPI resend the last event and write an error message ). Each movement of the pointing device, while isActive is TRUE, generates trackPoint_changed and translation_changed events.
