Unigine::Curve2d Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineCurve2d.h> |
This class represents an interface enabling you to create and manage 2D curves. These curves are used, for example, to control behavior of various parameters of particle systems (how they change over time).
Curve2d Class
Перечисления (Enums)
REPEAT_MODE#
Mode to be used for repeating the sequence defined by the key points of the curve (tiling curves).Members
getHash() const#
Returns the current hash value calculated for the curve. Hash value is used for performance optimization and helps define if the curve really needs to be updated, or nothing has changed in its parameters (repeat mode, key points, and tangents are all the same).
Return value
Current hash value calculated for the curve.getNumKeys() const#
Returns the current total number of key points in the curve.
Return value
Current total number of key points in the curve.void setRepeatModeStart ( ) #
Sets a new repeat mode for the beginning of the curve (defines behavior before the first key point), one of the REPEAT_MODE_* values. This mode shall be used for repeating the sequence defined by the key points of the curve (tiling curves).
Arguments
- start - The repeat mode for the beginning of the curve (defines behavior before the first key point), one of the REPEAT_MODE_* values.
getRepeatModeStart() const#

event triggered when the curve is changed. You can subscribe to events via
connect()
and unsubscribe via
disconnect(). You can also use
EventConnection
and
EventConnections
classes for convenience (see examples below).
The event handler signature is as follows: myhandler(Notice
For more details see the Event Handling article.
Usage Example
Source code (C++)
// implement the Changed event handler
void changed_event_handler()
{
Log::message("\Handling Changed event\n");
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// 1. Multiple subscriptions can be linked to an instance of the EventConnections
// class that you can use later to remove all these subscriptions at once
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// create an instance of the EventConnections class
EventConnections changed_event_connections;
// link to this instance when subscribing to an event (subscription to various events can be linked)
publisher->getEventChanged().connect(changed_event_connections, changed_event_handler);
// other subscriptions are also linked to this EventConnections instance
// (e.g. you can subscribe using lambdas)
publisher->getEventChanged().connect(changed_event_connections, []() {
Log::message("\Handling Changed event (lambda).\n");
}
);
// ...
// later all of these linked subscriptions can be removed with a single line
changed_event_connections.disconnectAll();
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// 2. You can subscribe and unsubscribe via an instance of the EventConnection
// class. And toggle this particular connection off and on, when necessary.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// create an instance of the EventConnection class
EventConnection changed_event_connection;
// subscribe to the Changed event with a handler function keeping the connection
publisher->getEventChanged().connect(changed_event_connection, changed_event_handler);
// ...
// you can temporarily disable a particular event connection to perform certain actions
changed_event_connection.setEnabled(false);
// ... actions to be performed
// and enable it back when necessary
changed_event_connection.setEnabled(true);
// ...
// remove subscription to the Changed event via the connection
changed_event_connection.disconnect();
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// 3. You can add EventConnection/EventConnections instance as a member of the
// class that handles the event. In this case all linked subscriptions will be
// automatically removed when class destructor is called
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Class handling the event
class SomeClass
{
public:
// instance of the EventConnections class as a class member
EventConnections e_connections;
// A Changed event handler implemented as a class member
void event_handler()
{
Log::message("\Handling Changed event\n");
// ...
}
};
SomeClass *sc = new SomeClass();
// ...
// specify a class instance in case a handler method belongs to some class
publisher->getEventChanged().connect(sc->e_connections, sc, &SomeClass::event_handler);
// ...
// handler class instance is deleted with all its subscriptions removed automatically
delete sc;
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// 4. Subscribe to an event saving a particular connection ID
// and unsubscribe later by this ID
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// instance of the EventConnections class to manage event connections
EventConnections e_connections;
// define a particular connection ID to be used to unsubscribe later

);
// remove the subscription later using the ID
publisher->getEventChanged().disconnect(changed_handler_id);
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// 5. Ignoring all Changed events when necessary

// you can temporarily disable the event to perform certain actions without triggering it
publisher->getEventChanged().setEnabled(false);
// ... actions to be performed
// and enable it back when necessary
publisher->getEventChanged().setEnabled(true);Return value

int moveKey ( int index, const Math::vec2 & point ) #
Moves the key point with the specified number to a new position (preserving the tangents). Upon completion on this operation the CHANGED event is triggered. The index of key point will be updated automatically. This method can be used to implement dragging of keys on the curve. In case of moving multiple keys it is recommended to use the setKeyPoint() method to set new values for keys and then sort them all at once via the sortKeys() method to save performance.Arguments
