Member Function Documentation void Object::acceptOperation ( Visitor * pVisitor ) [virtual]   acceptOperation(..) let a Visitor object perform a arbitrary operation on the object. It's a implenmentation of the visitor pattern. First the doOperation() method of the Visitor is called and than all childs are traversed via acceptOperation. This allows easy traversal of "messages" to every object in a scene graph or a subtree. Implementations call simply the base class implemenation an afterwards forward the call to all associated objects. NOTE: If object sharing is done one object might get the same acceptOperation call more than once. Parameters: pVisitor   the visitor Class * Object::getClass ( ) const [inline, virtual]   Get the runtime class for this object instance. Returns: : the runtime class object for this object type void Object::getProperty ( int nProperty, Variant & vValue ) const [virtual]   Get the property of an object. NOTE: The default implementation does nothing but throwing a NoSuchPropertyError exception. Parameters: nProperty   : the property id for this object to access vValue   : a Variant receiving the value of the property Exceptions: NoSuchPropertyError   void Object::initRender ( Scene * pScene ) [virtual]   Prepare for rendering. This method is called on all objects before rendering starts. One time precalculations and initializations can be performed here. void Object::invokeMethod ( int nMethod, int argc, Variant * args, Variant * pRetval = NULL ) [virtual]   Invoke a method on an object. NOTE: The default implementation does nothing but throwing a NoSuchMethodError exception. Parameters: nMethod   : the method id argc   : number of arguments for the method args   : pointer to an array of variants (the arguments) retval   : pointer to retval (if there is one expected) Exceptions: NoSuchMethodError   void Object::setProperty ( int nProperty, const Variant & vValue ) [virtual]   Set the property of an object to a specified value. NOTE: The default implementation does nothing but throwing a NoSuchPropertyError exception. Parameters: nProperty   : the property id for this object to access vValue   : a Variant specifing the value for the property Exceptions: NoSuchPropertyError   The documentation for this class was generated from the following file: Object.h
