Transformations (C++)

group FnXFormUtil
class FnXFormUtil
#include <FnXFormUtil.h>

Provides a number of matrix transform utilities.

Matrix ordering matches the IMath convention:

 FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute::array_type m = attr.getNearestSample(0.f);
 Imath::M44d(m[0],  m[1],  m[2],  m[3],
             m[4],  m[5],  m[6],  m[7],
             m[8],  m[9],  m[10], m[11],
             m[12], m[13], m[14], m[15]);

or,

 Imath::M44d( (double(*)[4]) m.data());

Public Static Functions

static std::pair<FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute, bool> CalcTransformMatrixAtTime(const FnAttribute::GroupAttribute &groupAttr, float time)

Return
(4x4 matrix attr, isAbsolute)
Parameters
  • groupAttr -

    the FnAttribute::GroupAttribute to calculate the transform from.

  • time -

    the sample time at which to calculate the transform.

static std::pair<FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute, bool> CalcTransformMatrixAtTimes(const FnAttribute::GroupAttribute &groupAttr, const float *time, int numSamples)

Note
This will do xform interpolation as needed
Return
return (4x4 matrix attr, isAbsolute)
Parameters
  • groupAttr -

    FnAttribute::GroupAttribute containing the transform

  • time -

    sample time to calculate the transform at.

  • numSamples -

    number of time samples in time argument.

static std::pair<FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute, bool> CalcTransformMatrixAtExistingTimes(const FnAttribute::GroupAttribute &groupAttr)

Note
This will do xform interpolation as needed
Return
return (4x4 matrix attr, isAbsolute)
Parameters
  • groupAttr -

    FnAttribute::GroupAttribute containing the transform

static FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute CreateBoundsAttr(double xMin, double xMax, double yMin, double yMax, double zMin, double zMax)

Creates a bounds attribute with the following properties:

  • Tuple Size: 2
  • Length: 6,
  • Values: [xMin, xMax, yMin, yMax, zMin, zMax]

Return
an FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute instance.
Parameters
  • xMin -

    x min

  • xMax -

    x max

  • yMin -

    y min

  • yMax -

    y max

  • zMin -

    z max

  • zMax -

    z max

static FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute MergeBounds(const FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute &boundAttr1, const FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute &boundAttr2)

Merge the two bounds attributes. If the boundsAttrs are multi-sampled, the output bounds will be up-sampled to the union of incoming sample times. Bounds data at sample-times not provided (but needed) will be synthesized using fillInterpSample()

Return
an instance of FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute containing the merged attributes.
Parameters
  • boundAttr1 -

    first bounds attribute

  • boundAttr2 -

    second bounds attribute

static FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute CalcTransformedBoundsAtExistingTimes(const FnAttribute::Attribute &xform, const FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute &boundAttr)

Calculates a new bounds attribute after baking in the specified coordinate system.

The input transform can either be specified as a 4 x 4 FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute (matrix) or as an unbaked FnAttribute::GroupAttribute xform hierarchy. All other types will result in failure an invalid FnAttribute instance being returned.

The computed bounds attribute will contain time samples at the union of existing samples in the incoming xform and bound attributes.

If a user requires a non-multisampled bound attribute, this call should be followed up with a call to CollapseBoundTimeSamples()

Return
the new transformed bound attribute.
Parameters
  • xform -

    the coordinate system

  • boundAttr -

    the bound attribute to transform

static FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute CollapseBoundsTimeSamples(const FnAttribute::DoubleAttribute &boundAttr)

Creates a single sampled attribute with the merged union of the mutlisampled input attribute.

Return
Single sample merged union of the input bound attribute
Parameters
  • boundAttr -

    Multisampled bound attribute

static void InitXForm(FnAttribute::GroupBuilder &gb)

This group of function accepting FnAttribute::GroupBuilder references are used to simplify the construction of xform attributes.

For the specified GroupBuilder, set group inherit to false (as all xforms should be) and then do a shallow update with the specified attribute, if provided.

Note
All children must be either instances of FnAttribute::DoubleAttributes or FnAttribute::GroupAttribute.

Note that if one’s command sequence utilizes only: 

 Init(gb, ...)
 PushXXX(...)
 PushXXX(...)
 PushXXX(...)
 etc...

It’s OK to construct the group builder with the GroupBuilder::BuilderModeStrict argument.

Parameters
  • gb -

    An instance of FnAttribute::GroupBuilder

static void InitXForm(FnAttribute::GroupBuilder &gb, const FnAttribute::Attribute &xform)
static void PushRotateAttr(FnAttribute::GroupBuilder &gb, double angle, double x, double y, double z)
static FnAttribute::Attribute PushRotateAttr(const FnAttribute::Attribute &xform, double angle, double x, double y, double z)
static void PushTranslateAttr(FnAttribute::GroupBuilder &gb, double x, double y, double z)
static FnAttribute::Attribute PushTranslateAttr(const FnAttribute::Attribute &xform, double x, double y, double z)
static void PushScaleAttr(FnAttribute::GroupBuilder &gb, double x, double y, double z)
static FnAttribute::Attribute PushScaleAttr(const FnAttribute::Attribute &xform, double x, double y, double z)
static void PushMatrixAttr(FnAttribute::GroupBuilder &gb, const double *mtx16)
static FnAttribute::Attribute PushMatrixAttr(const FnAttribute::Attribute &xform, const double *mtx16)
static void PushOriginAttr(FnAttribute::GroupBuilder &gb)
