EggTransform const &get_default_pose(void) const: Returns a read-only accessor to the initial pose transform. This is the <DefaultPose> entry for a Joint, and defines only the initial transform pose for the unanimated joint; it has nothing to do with the group’s <Transform> entry, which defines the (eventual) space of the group’s vertices.

bool is_instance_type(void) const

Returns true if this group is an instance type node; i.e. it begins the root of a local coordinate space. This is not related to instancing (multiple copies of a node in a scene graph).

This also includes the case of the node including a billboard flag without an explicit center, which implicitly makes the node behave like an instance.

virtual bool is_joint(void) const: Returns true if this particular node represents a <Joint> entry or not. This is a handy thing to know since Joints are sorted to the end of their sibling list when writing an egg file. See EggGroupNode::write().

EggTransform &modify_default_pose(void): Returns a writable accessor to the initial pose transform. This is the <DefaultPose> entry for a Joint, and defines only the initial transform pose for the unanimated joint; it has nothing to do with the group’s <Transform> entry, which defines the (eventual) space of the group’s vertices.

void ref_vertex(EggVertex *vert, double membership = 1.0): Adds the vertex to the set of those referenced by the group, at the indicated membership level. If the vertex is already being referenced, increases the membership amount by the indicated amount.

void remove_group_ref(int n): Removes the nth <Ref> entry within this group. See add_group_ref().

bool remove_object_type(std::string const &object_type): Removes the first instance of the indicated object type from the group if it is present. Returns true if the object type was found and removed, false otherwise.

void set_billboard_center(LPoint3d const &billboard_center)

Sets the point around which the billboard will rotate, if this node contains a billboard specification.

If a billboard type is given but no billboard_center is specified, then the group node is treated as an <Instance>, and the billboard rotates around the origin. If, however, a billboard_center is specified, then the group node is not treated as an <Instance>, and the billboard rotates around the specified point.

The point is in the same coordinate system as the vertices of this node: usually global, but possibly local if there is an <Instance> somewhere above. Specifically, this is the coordinate system defined by get_vertex_frame().

void set_dcs_type(EggGroup::DCSType type)

void set_default_pose(EggTransform const &transform): Replaces the initial pose transform. This is the <DefaultPose> entry for a Joint, and defines only the initial transform pose for the unanimated joint; it has nothing to do with the group’s <Transform> entry, which defines the (eventual) space of the group’s vertices.

void set_scroll_v(double const v_speed)

void set_scroll_w(double const w_speed)

void set_switch_flag(bool flag)

void set_switch_fps(double fps)

void set_tag(std::string const &key, std::string const &value)

Associates a user-defined value with a user-defined key which is stored on the node. This value has no meaning to Panda; but it is stored indefinitely on the node until it is requested again. This value will be copied to the PandaNode that is created for this particular EggGroup if the egg file is loaded as a scene.

Each unique key stores a different string value. There is no effective limit on the number of different keys that may be stored or on the length of any one key’s value.

This only recognizes a single keyword; it does not attempt to parse a string of keywords.
