Lessons learned from NCSU FOSS class

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Free and open source software (FOSS) is only beginning to find a foothold in computer science departments in North America. FOSS tools may be used in teaching or be the subject of research or special committees, but few departments include courses that introduce students to the FOSS community. As a result, when North Carolina State University created a FOSS graduate course in the 2008 spring semester, it turned to Red Hat to find an instructor with a suitable background of FOSS involvement and university teaching experience. Community manager Greg DeKoenigsberg recommended performance tools engineer Will Cohen, who now looks back at the experience with an eye to how what he and his students learned might help other instructors.

" class SoClipPlaneManip The SoClipPlaneManip class is used to manipulate clip planes. " class SoDirectionalLightManip The SoDirectionalLightManip class is used to manipulate SoDirectionalLight nodes. " class SoHandleBoxManip The SoHandleBoxManip class wraps an SoHandleBoxDragger for manipulating a transformation. " class SoJackManip The SoJackManip wraps an SoJackDragger for convenience. " class SoPointLightManip The SoPointLightManip class is used to manipulate point light nodes. " class SoSpotLightManip The SoSpotLightManip class is used to manipulate spot light nodes. " class SoTabBoxManip The SoTabBoxManip class wraps an SoTabBoxDragger. " class SoTrackballManip The SoTrackballManip wraps an SoTrackballDragger for convenience. " class SoTransformBoxManip The SoTransformBoxManip wraps an SoTransformBoxDragger for convenience. " class SoTransformManip The SoTransformManip class is used to manipulate transformations. A manipulator is used by replacing the node you want to edit in the graph with the manipulator. Draggers are used to to manipulate the node. When manipulation is finished, the node is put back into the graph, replacing the manipulator. " class SoTransformerManip The SoTransformerManip wraps an SoTransformerDragger for convenience. " Detailed Description Manipulators are objects you can swap back and forth into a scene graph at locations where you have an SoTransform node. They take the place of the SoTransform, continue to act like the SoTransform, but in addition give the user a 3D user interface, using draggers, for controlling the transform. When the user is done manipulating, the manipulator can swap itself back out, replacing itself with an SoTransform that represent the new transform value. Manipulators is one of the concepts that really made Open Inventor stand out against the alternatives when it came out.
