class Trackball

Bases: MouseInterfaceNode

Trackball acts like Performer in trackball mode. It can either spin around a piece of geometry directly, or it can spin around a camera with the inverse transform to make it appear that the whole world is spinning.

The Trackball object actually just places a transform in the data graph; parent a Transform2SG node under it to actually transform objects (or cameras) in the world.

__init__(param0: Trackball) → None

__init__(name: str) → None

static getClassType() → TypeHandle

Return type

TypeHandle

getControlMode() → ControlMode

Returns the control mode. See setControlMode().

Return type

ControlMode

getCoordinateSystem() → CoordinateSystem

Returns the coordinate system of the Trackball. See setCoordinateSystem().

Return type

CoordinateSystem

getForwardScale() → float

Returns the scale factor applied to forward and backward motion. See setForwardScale().

getH() → float

getHpr() → LVecBase3

Return the trackball’s orientation.

Return type

LVecBase3

getInvert() → bool

Returns the invert flag. When this is set, the inverse matrix is generated, suitable for joining to a camera, instead of parenting the scene under it.

getMat() → LMatrix4

Returns the matrix represented by the trackball rotation.

Return type

LMatrix4

getOrigin() → LPoint3

Returns the current center of rotation.

Return type

LPoint3

getP() → float

getPos() → LPoint3

Return the offset from the center of rotation.

Return type

LPoint3

getR() → float

getRelTo() → NodePath

Returns the NodePath that all trackball manipulations are relative to, or the empty path.

Return type

NodePath

getTransMat() → LMatrix4

Returns the actual transform that will be applied to the scene graph. This is the same as getMat(), unless invert is in effect.

Return type

LMatrix4

getX() → float

getY() → float

getZ() → float

moveOrigin(x: float, y: float, z: float) → None

Moves the center of rotation by the given amount.

reset() → None

Reinitializes all transforms to identity.

resetOriginHere() → None

Reposition the center of rotation to coincide with the current translation offset. Future rotations will be about the current origin.

setControlMode(control_mode: ControlMode) → None

Sets the control mode. Normally this is CM_default, which means each mouse button serves its normal function. When it is CM_truck, CM_pan, CM_dolly, or CM_roll, all of the mouse buttons serve the indicated function instead of their normal function. This can be used in conjunction with some external way of changing modes.

setCoordinateSystem(cs: CoordinateSystem) → None

Sets the coordinate system of the Trackball. Normally, this is the default coordinate system. This changes the axes the Trackball manipulates so that the user interface remains consistent across different coordinate systems.

setForwardScale(fwdscale: float) → None

Changes the scale factor applied to forward and backward motion. The larger this number, the faster the model will move in response to dollying in and out.

setH(h: float) → None

setHpr(hpr: LVecBase3) → None

Directly set the mover’s orientation.

setHpr(h: float, p: float, r: float) → None

setInvert(flag: bool) → None

Sets the invert flag. When this is set, the inverse matrix is generated, suitable for joining to a camera, instead of parenting the scene under it.

setMat(mat: LMatrix4) → None

Stores the indicated transform in the trackball. This is a transform in global space, regardless of the rel_to node.

setOrigin(origin: LVecBase3) → None

Directly sets the center of rotation.

setP(p: float) → None

setPos(vec: LVecBase3) → None

Directly set the offset from the rotational origin.

setPos(x: float, y: float, z: float) → None

setR(r: float) → None

setRelTo(rel_to: NodePath) → None

Sets the NodePath that all trackball manipulations are to be assumed to be relative to. For instance, set your camera node here to make the trackball motion camera relative. The default is the empty path, which means trackball motion is in global space.

setX(x: float) → None

setY(y: float) → None

setZ(z: float) → None
