iModelDataAction Struct Reference An action. More... #include <mdldata.h> Inheritance diagram for iModelDataAction: List of all members. Public Methods virtual iObject*  QueryObject ()=0   Query the iObject for this action. virtual int  GetFrameCount () const=0   Return the number of key frames. virtual float  GetTime (int Frame) const=0   Get the time value for a frame. virtual iObject*  GetState (int Frame) const=0   Get the state information for a frame. virtual void  SetTime (int Frame, float NewTime)=0   Set the time value for a frame. virtual void  SetState (int Frame, iObject *State)=0   Set the state information for a frame. virtual void  AddFrame (float Time, iObject *State)=0   Add a frame. virtual void  DeleteFrame (int Frame)=0   Delete a frame. virtual float  GetTotalTime () const=0   Return the length (in time) of a complete animation cycle. Detailed Description An action. This is mainly a list of key frames. Note that the key frames are not added as sub-objects, but instead they are added directly through the iModelDataAction interface. The reason is that together with every frame a time value has to be stored. The idea of time values is the following: Every frame comes with the point in time when the frame *ends*, measured in seconds. For example, if your frames last 100msec, 200msec, 50msec and 250msec, the time values are: 0.1, 0.3, 0.35, 0.6. As this is the ending time for each frame, the last time value has three meanings: It is the end of the whole action It is the length of the action It wraps around to the time value 0.0 Another effect of this is that when you start playing an animation cycle, the animation begins at the *last* frame and moves on to the first frame within the time that is stored with the first frame. Note that the frames are automatically sorted by time. There are different types of frames. One could imagine vertex states, skeleton states and transformation states (or other types?). Currently only vertex states (iModelDataVertices) are used.
