Hello,
One month ago I discovered OpenFlipper and I started working on a plugin. I am currently striving for adding a new scene viewer and I wish you could help me since I am having some difficulties.
Here are the features I want to implement that give me troubles: My plugin can open a new popup window which shows a 2D-planar-view of the 3D-mesh currently loaded in the main OpenFlipper's viewport. In this popup, the user is provided with some features already available in the main Openflipper's viewport such as zoom/pan and pick.
Actually, I digged into OpenMesh's Core and CoreWidget source code to check the main viewport's display and try to adapt it to my plugin. At this point, I am trying to copy the main scenegraph's structure and to create another scenegraph, handled by my plugin so that my plugin doesn't mess with OpenFlipper's own scenegraph.
I am wondering if I am currently heading in the good direction or if it's possible to achieve my goals by the mean of adding nodes in Openflipper's main scenegraph, or any other way you could indicate me.
Thanks for your help! William Chu

Hi,
maybe you can just use one of the integrated viewers (Hit space to activate them). You can set one of them to orthogonal projection and setup the modelview and projection. Then you can use all integrated features of the standard viewer.
Best, Jan
Hi Jan,
Thank you for your help!
I am trying to get a hand on these integrated viewers and I have a question now: If I want my plugin to use and to setup an integrated viewer (called an "examiner_widget" if I'm not wrong), how can I get a handler on the 2nd examiner_widget, for example? I searched the PluginFunctions and couldn't find a public function allowing me to do this.
With regards, William Chu

Hi,
You should not get direcect access to the widget itself. Use the Pluginfunctions (Especially in ViewControl) to setup the required orthogonal view.

Great! Thank you!
I have another question:
Is it possible for a plugin to change the graphics view layout? I mean switching from the SingleView mode to the DoubleView, Grid or HSplit modes as defined in QtMultiViewLayout.

Hi,
include the RPC Interface to your plugin: http://openflipper.org/Daily-Builds/Doc/Developer/RPCInterfacePage.html
Now you can call all scripting functions. The one you are looking for is: RPC::callFunction ("core", "multiViewMode", 1);
To get a list of these functions, start OF and go to Scripting->Show Script Editor
Search for your function and click on it to show the usage information.
