DialNode

from panda3d.core import DialNode
class DialNode

Bases: DataNode

This is the primary interface to infinite dial type devices associated with a ClientBase. This creates a node that connects to the named dial device, if it exists, and provides hooks to the user to read the state of any of the sequentially numbered dial controls associated with that device.

A dial is a rotating device that does not have stops–it can keep rotating any number of times. Therefore it does not have a specific position at any given time, unlike an AnalogDevice.
