SoWin Class List

Here are the classes, structs, unions and interfaces with brief descriptions:

SoWin	Takes care of Win initialization and event dispatching. This is the "application-wide" class with solely static methods handling initialization and event processing tasks. You must use this class in any application built on top of the SoWin library
SoWinComponent	Base class for all GUI components
SoWinConstrainedViewer	Superclass for viewers with constrains on the viewpoint. This abstract viewer class adds new methods to keep the camera in an upright position according to some arbitrary up-direction. The up-direction can be decided by either the application programmer (by using SoWinConstrainedViewer::setUpDirection()) or the end-user, through interaction mechanisms defined by the subclasses
SoWinCursor	Used to set cursors for GUI components. The class provides both a set of pre-defined cursor shapes, aswell as the option to use custom bitmap graphics
SoWinCursor::CustomCursor	The SoWinCursor::CustomCursor class is used to specify bitmap data for SoWinCursor custom cursors
SoWinDevice	Base class for the translation devices. The SoWin device classes provide glue functionality for translating native GUI events from the underlying toolkit to Inventor scenegraph SoEvent events
SoWinExaminerViewer	3D-model examination viewer. This class is the viewer considered to be the most "general purpose" viewer, and it is often used in rapid prototyping to examine simple models aswell as complete scenes (although for the latter, you might be better off with one of the other viewer classes)
SoWinFlyViewer	Implements controls for moving the camera in a "flying" motion. Controls:
SoWinFullViewer	Adds some user interface components to the viewer canvas. The SoWinFullViewer is an abstract viewer class which extends it's superclass (the basic SoWinViewer class) with two major user interface additions:
SoWinGLWidget	Manages OpenGL contexts. This is the basic, abstract component class which sets up an OpenGL canvas for its subclasses
SoWinKeyboard	Keyboard input device abstraction. The SoWinKeyboard class is the glue between native keyboard handling and keyboard interaction with the Inventor scenegraph
SoWinMouse	Mouse input device abstraction. The SoWinMouse class is the glue between native mouse handling and mouse interaction in the Inventor scenegraph
SoWinObject	Common superclass for all SoWin component classes. The purpose of making this class the superclass of all SoWin device, component and viewer classes is to be able to do run-time type checking of the SoWin objects
SoWinPlaneViewer	For examining 3D models by moving the camera in orthogonal planes. The SoWinPlaneViewer is a viewer that is useful for "CAD-style" applications, where you want the end-user to examine your model with the viewpoint set from one of the three principal axes
SoWinRenderArea	Adds scenegraph handling and event management. The SoWinRenderArea class is a component that adds scenegraph management and input device event handling to the SoWinGLWidget component
SoWinSpaceball	Spaceball input device abstraction. The SoWinSpaceball class is the glue between native spaceball handling and how those events translates to generic events for the Inventor API scenegraph
SoWinViewer	Top level base viewer class. This is an abstract class, which adds the following features to it's SoWinRenderArea superclass: convenient methods for camera handling, an automatic headlight configuration
