Writes the flags inherited from EggRenderMode and similar flags that control obscure render effects.

isJoint() → bool

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().

determineAlphaMode() → EggRenderMode

Walks back up the hierarchy, looking for an EggGroup or EggPrimitive or some such object at this level or above this group that has an alpha_mode other than AM_unspecified. Returns a valid EggRenderMode pointer if one is found, or NULL otherwise.

Return type

determineDepthWriteMode() → EggRenderMode

Walks back up the hierarchy, looking for an EggGroup or EggPrimitive or some such object at this level or above this group that has a depth_write_mode other than DWM_unspecified. Returns a valid EggRenderMode pointer if one is found, or NULL otherwise.

Return type

EggRenderMode

determineDepthTestMode() → EggRenderMode

Walks back up the hierarchy, looking for an EggGroup or EggPrimitive or some such object at this level or above this group that has a depth_test_mode other than DTM_unspecified. Returns a valid EggRenderMode pointer if one is found, or NULL otherwise.

Return type

EggRenderMode

determineVisibilityMode() → EggRenderMode

Walks back up the hierarchy, looking for an EggGroup or EggPrimitive or some such object at this level or above this group that has a visibility_mode other than VM_unspecified. Returns a valid EggRenderMode pointer if one is found, or NULL otherwise.

Return type

determineIndexed() → bool

Walks back up the hierarchy, looking for an EggGroup at this level or above that has the “indexed” scalar set. Returns the value of the indexed scalar if it is found, or false if it is not.

In other words, returns true if the “indexed” flag is in effect for the indicated node, false otherwise.

determineDecal() → bool

Walks back up the hierarchy, looking for an EggGroup at this level or above that has the “decal” flag set. Returns the value of the decal flag if it is found, or false if it is not.

In other words, returns true if the “decal” flag is in effect for the indicated node, false otherwise.

setGroupType(type: GroupType) → None

getGroupType() → GroupType

Return type

GroupType

isInstanceType() → bool

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.

setBillboardType(type: BillboardType) → None

getBillboardType() → BillboardType

Return type

BillboardType

setBillboardCenter(billboard_center: LPoint3d) → None

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().

Return type

BlendOperand

setBlendColor(blend_color: LColor) → None

clearBlendColor() → None

Removes the blend color specification.

hasBlendColor() → bool

Returns true if the blend color has been specified, false otherwise.

Return type

LColor

setLod(lod: EggSwitchCondition) → None

hasLod() → bool

getLod() → EggSwitchCondition

Return type

EggSwitchCondition

setTag(key: str, value: str) → None

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.

getTag(key: str) → str

Retrieves the user-defined value that was previously set on this node for the particular key, if any. If no value has been previously set, returns the empty string.

hasTag(key: str) → bool

Returns true if a value has been defined on this node for the particular key (even if that value is the empty string), or false if no value has been set.

clearTag(key: str) → None

Removes the value defined for this key on this particular node. After a call to clearTag(), hasTag() will return false for the indicated key.

getDefaultPose() → EggTransform

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.

Return type

EggTransform

modifyDefaultPose() → EggTransform

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.

Return type

EggTransform

setDefaultPose(transform: EggTransform) → None

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.

clearDefaultPose() → None

Removes the initial pose transform. See setDefaultPose().

setScrollU(u_speed: float) → None

setScrollV(v_speed: float) → None

getScrollW() → float

getScrollR() → float

hasScrollingUvs() → bool

refVertex(vert: EggVertex, membership: float) → None

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.

unrefVertex(vert: EggVertex) → None

Removes the vertex from the set of those referenced by the group. Does nothing if the vertex is not already reffed.

unrefAllVertices() → None

Removes all vertices from the reference list.

getVertexMembership(vert: EggVertex) → float

Returns the amount of membership of the indicated vertex in this group. If the vertex is not reffed by the group, returns 0.

setVertexMembership(vert: EggVertex, membership: float) → None

Explicitly sets the net membership of the indicated vertex in this group to the given value.

stealVrefs(other: EggGroup) → None

Moves all of the vertex references from the indicated other group into this one. If a given vertex was previously shared by both groups, the relative memberships will be summed.

testVrefIntegrity() → None

addGroupRef(group: EggGroup) → None

Adds a new <Ref> entry to the group. This declares an internal reference to another node, and is used to implement scene-graph instancing; it is only valid if the group_type is GT_instance.

getNumGroupRefs() → int

Returns the number of <Ref> entries within this group. See addGroupRef().

getGroupRef(n: int) → EggGroup

Returns the nth <Ref> entry within this group. See addGroupRef().

Return type

EggGroup

removeGroupRef(n: int) → None

Removes the nth <Ref> entry within this group. See addGroupRef().

Getter Setter

Return type

BillboardType

property billboard_center

Getter Setter

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().
