Detailed Description

Provides the user interface for a single named "control" of an Op.

The Op::knobs() function is called to create these and to list them in order to store() values into an instance of an Op.

The to_script() and from_script() methods are used to read and write the value as a text stream. This is used for saving scripts and also for implementing undo/redo.

The most common types of knobs produce a widget in the "control panel" of a Node in Nuke. However this functionality is private to Nuke. Plugins can only make knobs that are manipulated through the user clicking and dragging on the viewers. They can also create "child" knobs that display widgets.

Writing a new knob type is quite complex, though I hope it is not hopeless. It is recommended that you examine the source code to plugins that use it (DustBust, ...).

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum DD::Image::Knob::HandleType

Commands passed to begin_handle

enum DD::Image::Knob::HandleFlags

Enumerator
LOW_PRIORITY	Indicates that this handle is low priority in terms of selecting. If multiple handles are contained within the pick area, normal priority handles are favoured over low priority ones.
DO_HANDLE_CALLBACK_ON_SHIFT_SELECT	This flag is to get around the fact that, when shift-selectting, Nuke doesn't by default call handle callbacks. Setting this flag will ensure that it will.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Knob::Knob	(	Knob_Closure *	c,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	label = `nullptr`
	)

The constructor for a knob adds it to the list being built for the current Node.

Member Function Documentation

const char * Knob::Class ( ) const

pure virtual

Return a string name for the type of knob. The base class returns "Knob". This is currently only used for messages.

int Knob::ClassID ( ) const

virtual

Return the enumeration value from Knobs.h that will create this knob. This is used to write instructions for creating this knob to a saved script. If no value creates this knob then return 0, and the user will not be able to clone the knob. The base class returns zero.

Op * Knob::op ( ) const

Return an Op that belongs to the control panel this Knob is on. You cannot make very many assumptions about this op except that it has been constructed. You could for instance get the Class() or help().

Referenced by DD::Image::PrintKnobChangedInValidateWarning().

bool DD::Image::Knob::is ( const char * v ) const

inline

fn bool Knob::is(const char* name) const Return true if the name matches the passed string. You should use this in Op::knob_changed() methods to figure out if the changed knob is the one you are interested in.

Referenced by DD::Image::Executable::frameRangeKnobsChanged(), DD::Image::DrawIop::knob_changed(), DD::Image::NukeWrapper::knob_changed(), and DD::Image::ReadGeo::knob_changed().

bool Knob::startsWith ( const char * v ) const

Return true if the name starts with the substring. Useful in Op::knob_changed() to detect a set of related knobs.

std::string Knob::fullyQualifiedName ( int idx = -1 ) const

returns the fully-qualified name of the knob within the node. This can be useful for expression linking. "idx" specifies the optional channel number of the sub-knob, leave blank or set to -1 to get the qualified name of the knob only.

const std::string & Knob::tooltip ( ) const

Get the tooltip for the knob

void DD::Image::Knob::addTooltipOverride	(	const std::string &	knob,
		const std::string &	tooltip
	)

static

Add a tooltip override to the tooltip overrides table. 'knob' is expected to be in the form 'Blur.size', and tooltip is the text to be displayed instead of the default tooltip

WidgetPointer Knob::make_widget ( const WidgetContext & context )

virtual

this is the new version for 7.0 onwards

Create the widget to put in a panel for the knob and return it. This can return null if no widget should be created, this is what the default version does.

addCallback() must be called to add some function that is called when the value changes or when the knob is destroyed, so that the widget can respond to it. Nuke source code currently wraps this in another function called add_widget_to_knob().

WidgetPointer Knob::make_secondary_widget ( const WidgetContext & context )

virtual

Create the secondary widget. This widget is intended to be be displayed below the existing label, if the label exists. The default implementation returns a NULL widget.

return WidgetPointer, a pointer to the widget which is to be displayed in the label column, else, NULL if no secondary widget is to be displayed (in which case the label will display as usual)

void Knob::updateUI ( const OutputContext & )

virtual

Cause any update to widgets due to the outputContext() being changed. The default version does nothing, but subclasses that display the animated value must do this.

void Knob::addCallback	(	Callback	cb,
		void *	closure
	)

Add a callback to a GUI widget. Changes to the knob's visibility, enable, the value, and the destruction of the knob all send messages to this.

References DD::Image::end().

Referenced by DD::Image::LUTInfo::updateColorspaceDefaultValue().

void Knob::removeCallback	(	Callback	cb,
		void *	closure
	)

Remove a callback added with addCallback(). You must not call this if your callback got the kDestroying message.

References DD::Image::end().

Referenced by DD::Image::LUTInfo::updateColorspaceDefaultValue().

bool Knob::isCallbackRegistered	(	Callback	cb,
		void *	closure
	)		const

Check if a callback was registered.

References DD::Image::end().

bool DD::Image::Knob::isEnabled ( ) const

inline

Return true if enable() was called or false if disable() was called.

bool DD::Image::Knob::enable ( )

inline

Same as enable(true)

References enable().

Referenced by enable(), DD::Image::Executable::frameRangeKnobsChanged(), DD::Image::NukeWrapper::knob_changed(), DD::Image::ReadGeo::knob_changed(), and DD::Image::LookAt::knobChanged().

bool DD::Image::Knob::disable ( )

bool Knob::isReadOnly ( ) const

virtual

Return true if this knob is read only. The default implementation tests for the read-only flag. In read-only mode, values will be displayed and can be copied and viewed as usual, but no modifications through direct user input will be possible. Changes may still be made through Tcl/Python.

Not all knobs support this flag.

Turn isPushed() on/off.

Knob * Knob::knob ( const char * name ) const

Return another knob on the same control panel as this knob, looked up by name.

Knob * Knob::knob ( int n ) const

Find a knob by index number. If the index number is larger than the number of knobs then null is returned. By starting at zero and incrementing until this returns null you will get every Knob known about. One of the return values will be this knob itself.

bool Knob::node_disabled ( ) const

bool Knob::build_handle ( ViewerContext * ctx )

virtual

This call is used by viewers to search for objects that need to draw "handles" into the viewer. This will be called for all knobs on any opened control panel.

If you want to draw anything you should add a callback with ViewerContext::add_draw_handle(). Or you can return true and a callback that calls draw_handle() will be added for you.

Recommended you check that the viewer is in the correct mode (ctx->viewer_mode()!=0 indicates a 3D mode) and that visible() is true before you add the callbacks.

The default version returns false.

void Knob::add_draw_handle ( ViewerContext * ctx )

Convenience function to call ViewerContext::add_draw_handle() with a function that will call this->draw_handle().

References DD::Image::ViewerContext::add_draw_handle().

Referenced by DD::Image::Op::add_knob_handle(), and DD::Image::Op::build_knob_handles().

void Knob::draw_handle ( ViewerContext * ctx )

virtual

If build_handle() returns true, then this will be called to actually draw the handle in OpenGL.

void Knob::begin_handle	(	HandleContext	command,
		ViewerContext *	ctx,
		Handle *	cb,
		int	index,
		const DD::Image::Vector3 &	pos,
		ViewerContext::Cursor	cursor = `ViewerContext::kNoCursor`
	)

Start drawing a handle. Any OpenGL you draw after this will be passed through hit-detection on a PUSH event and if selected then the cb will be called with events. draw_handle() should call this to indicate that the next thing to be drawn is something the user can click on, which we call a "handle".

The command describes the xyz that will be passed back to the handle callback. Current values are:

POSITION: The xyz passed in plus the distance the mouse dragged, with the numbers rounded somewhat to "nice" decimal numbers, and if the mouse has not moved very far or if shift is held down to restrict the axis, the passed-in xyz unchanged.
SELECTABLE: Same as POSITION except this is a selectable handle. It is selected by the user clicking on it, by the user dragging out a box, or by shift-clicking. When the user drags any selected handle then all of them get PUSH, DRAG, and RELEASE events and the first one gets the rounded position and all the others move in a locked formation with it. Any keystrokes are sent as KEY events to all the selected handles. If cb calls ctx->menu() then the menu only appears once, and all other calls return the same menu item, so the same action is done to all points.
DISTANCE_FROM_POINT: The difference between where the mouse is and the xyz position passed in this call (pass 0,0,0 if you want the absolute position in space). The xyz are not rounded so you probably don't want the numbers shown to the user, as they will have ugly extra digits of precision.
DISTANCE_WITH_SNAP: Same as DISTANCE_FROM_POINT except the delta values are rounded to "nice" numbers. Pass 0,0,0 to get "nice" rounded positions in space.
ANYWHERE, ANYWHERE_MOUSEMOVES, SELECTED_BY_THIS: these should only be passed to make_handle.

The cb function is called when the user causes an event that Nuke thinks should be sent to this handle. The function should return true if the event is consumed by this handle (returing false allows an ANYWHERE handle to get events). The context->event() says why this is being called:

PUSH - mouse was pushed down
DRAG - mouse was dragged after being pushed. The mouse position can be retrieved from context->x(), y(), and z(). These coordinates are in the same transformation that make_handle() was called in. You can also get the mouse position in pixels from context->mouse_x() and mouse_y(), though I'm not sure if you can do anything useful with that.
RELEASE - mouse was released after being dragged.
KEY - A keyboard key was pushed. You can get it from context->key().
KEYUP - A keyboard key was released. You can get it from context->key().
WHEEL - Mouse wheel (or other secondary manipulator) was moved. You can get the amount it was moved (in pixels) from context->wheel_dx() and wheel_dy().
MOVE - mouse is being dragged over window with no button pushed.
FIRST_MENU - You should use this as the first enumeration assigned to items in a Menu. If you call ctx->menu() and an item is picked the event is set to the picked item.
NO_EVENT - If you call ctx->menu() and either the user does not pick an item or they already picked an item from a different menu, then the event is set to this. You should not do anything in this case.

index is passed unchanged to the cb function. This can be used to select what part of a knob is being moved.

x and y (and z) indicate the initial position of the dragged object. Notice that it does not have to be the location you are drawing at.

void Knob::end_handle ( ViewerContext * ctx )

draw_handle() should call this after calling begin_handle() and drawing the selectable items. It is harmless to call this extra times.

bool Knob::is_selected	(	ViewerContext *	ctx,
		Handle *	cb,
		int	index
	)		const

Return true if the cb was flagged as a SELECTABLE one and it is currently selected by the user.

More performant version of the other make_handle(). Accepts a function which takes an vector of handle indices which apply to that combination of (knob*, callback)

virtual bool DD::Image::Knob::is_selected	(	ViewerContext *	ctx,

void Knob::add_to_undo ( )

Add the current knob into the last undo event. This allows changes from different knobs to be grouped into a single event.

void Knob::stop_add_to_undo ( )

Stop adding to undo

void Knob::new_undo ( const char * name = nullptr )

Same as new_undo(0). If this knob has not been recorded into the current Undo, start a new Undo and record the current state.

void Knob::force_new_undo ( const char * name = nullptr )

Closes (possible) previous open undo event and starts a new one before recording the current state. This should be called by knobs instead of new_undo(...) when the action should not be merged with any previous open undo event.

void Knob::extra_undo ( )

Make changes to this knob be part of the current Undo.

Deprecated. You should not need to call this, Nuke merges undos for everything done by an Op::knob_changed() or other functions that should look like a single action to the user.

TODO : mark as deprecated

void Knob::new_undo ( const void * controller )

Start a new Undo and remember the current state in that Undo, if either:

this knob has not been recorded in the current Undo
widget is non-zero and different than the previous call

The intention was for widget to be the widget being manipulated, though you can also pass pointers to static variables that indicate the "class" of widget, for instance if you want a set of checkmarks to all act like a single Undo.

You can call repeatedly with widget == NULL and subsequent calls are ignored. This makes it convienent to stuff this call into any method that is going to change the value.

bool Knob::doingUndoRedo ( )

Check whether this knob changed event was invoked by an undo or redo

void DD::Image::Knob::new_nudge_undo ( )

inline

Call new_undo(widget) with a pointer to a constant that indicates a "nudge" modification, such as the numeric keypad keys. All adjacent nudge modifications for a knob are merged into a single undo.

void Knob::undo ( )

If possible this backs up to the last time new_undo() was called. However this may back up many other knobs to the same state, so only call this on one knob per panel!

void Knob::redo ( )

If possible this goes forward and undoes an undo. However this may back up many other knobs to the same state, so only call this on one knob per panel!

void Knob::changed ( )

virtual

This virtual function is called when the value of the knob changes. Subclasses can override this, they should not do anything very expensive (such as read a file) or Nuke will lock up! They must call the base class implementation, it calls UpdateWidgets(), sets the modified flag, and triggers the viewer to check to see if it needs to update, among other things.

References DD::Image::PrintKnobChangedInValidateWarning().

void Knob::updateWidgets ( )

Sometimes (especially in subclasses) you know that only the widget has to redraw and that the knob's value did not change. In this case you can call this function instead of changed(), to avoid triggering unnecessary recalculation.

void Knob::asapUpdate ( )

See Op::asapUpdate(). Indicate the output of the Ops controlled by this node are dynamically changing. This causes the viewer to update right away and disables disk caching of viewer images.

You must make the hash() of the Op change. If you are altering the knob's value, then this is probably enough to make the hash change.

void Knob::asapUpdate	(	const Box &	box,
		int	direction = `0`
	)

See Op::asapUpdate(). Indicate the output of the Ops controlled by this node are dynamically changing and that the indicated area of the viewer should be drawn first. This causes the viewer to update right away and disables disk caching of viewer images. The direction indicates which way to draw the box, zero indicates you don't care. This is used by paint strokes, setting the direction to the same way the paint brush is moving makes the best feedback.

void Knob::redraw ( )

Make any handles in the viewer redraw, such as to show highlighting or previews, without the overhead or setting modified flags that changed() does.

const OutputContext & Knob::uiContext ( ) const

Return the "user interface context" from the node this knob belongs to. This is best thought of as "what frame/view the user thinks the Node is at". In reality, a node may produce several ops at different frames/views/proxy settings, one of these settings is returned by this.

const Format & Knob::input_format ( ) const

Same as Op::input_format(). A store() method can use this to scale uv coordinates to pixels or to take into account pixel aspect when storing width/height pairs.

void Knob::store	(	StoreType	type,
		void *	p,
		Hash &	hash,
		const OutputContext &	context
	)

virtual

Write over the passed location (which is in an Op) with the new data, and append that data to the Hash somehow. This is how data is stored into the pointed-to locations referred to by the knobs() function.

The context is used to figure out the current value from an animated knob, and to scale the stored values to the current proxy resolution. The hash should depend on these values.

If there is any problem storing the value you should call error() with a message to show the user. You should still put a legal value there and return the correct hash.

The base class does nothing.

Referenced by DD::Image::RenderScene::build_handles().

void Knob::append	(	Hash &	hash,
		const OutputContext *	context
	)

virtual

Append a representation of the current value() at the context to the hash. Nuke will use this to calculate the hash of any knob that does not have a pointer for the store() function but also does not have the NO_RERENDER flag on.

If the context is null, then you should instead append the entire animation of the knob to the hash. This is used to identify if any frame in a clip has changed.

The base class does nothing.

Referenced by DD::Image::LookupCurves::append(), and DD::Image::ParticleOp::appendSimulationCurve().

int Knob::get_key_list ( std::set< int > & keylist ) const

virtual

Turn on a flag in the bl array for each frame number between first and last that contains a key frame, and return the total number of keyframes. This is used to update the tick mark display in the Viewer frame slider. The base class returns zero.

virtual bool DD::Image::Knob::keyframesDisplayed ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Whether the viewer should display the tickmarks for me at the moment subclasses can override this to display tickmarks for invisible knobs

void Knob::error	(	const char *	lpFormat,
			...
	)

static

Use these to report once-off warning or error messages produced by a knob. They'll only be displayed as message boxes, and won't be stored. The versions that take a knob parameter use parameters from that knob they're called on, such as the pop-up scheme from any associated op.

bool Knob::from_script ( const char * v )

virtual

Parse a string read from a saved script. The result should be a knob that is in exactly the same state as it was when to_script() was called to produce the string.

The return value is whether or not the value changed. If it did this must also call changed(). Note it should do this even if an error() is produced.

If any errors are encountered you should call error() to print a message.

Nuke provides a helper class Knob::String_List to split nested lists of words at spaces (this actually uses tcl to do the work), and the to_double() and to_bool() methods to turn words into values.

The default version produces an error. You don't need to implement this as long as not_default() is always false.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::ShapeKnob.

Referenced by DD::Image::LUTInfo::updateColorspaceDefaultValue().

bool Knob::to_double	(	const char *	expr,
		double &	result
	)

from_script() can call this to convert a word into a double. This will run the Nuke expression evaluator so that math expressions typed in by the user will be handled. If there is any problem a message is printed with error() and false is returned. If true is returned then the second argument is set to the resulting double value.

If you wish to write doubles in to_script(), using << works acceptably.

bool Knob::to_int	(	const char *	expr,
		int &	result
	)

from_script() can call this to convert a word into an integer value. The argument can be any legal expression. If it is not an integer then int(floor(x)) is returned.

bool Knob::to_bool	(	const char *	expr,
		bool &	result
	)

from_script() can call this to convert a word into a boolean value. The argument can be any legal expression that evaluates to 0, non-zero, or the words "false" or "true".

const char * Knob::get_text ( const OutputContext * = nullptr ) const

virtual

Return the null-terminated text that to_script(o, context, false) would write to the stream, or return null to indicate that this is not implemented.

The main purpose of this function is so a caller can avoid the overhead of creating a stringstream and extracting the result from there if they just want to copy the to_script value somewhere.

A caller can assume this is implemented for String_knob(). It is also implemented for Enumeration_knob and Bool_knob and most others that use keywords for their value, if a context is given or the knob is not animated.

The returned value is temporary and is only good until the next time this or any other knob is changed. However you are allowed to pass it once to a from_script() method on this or any knob.

The base class returns null. Notice that this means the base class to_script() always writes an empty string.

Referenced by DD::Image::ReadGeo::_validate(), DD::Image::WriteGeo::set_file_type_from_filename(), DD::Image::Write::set_file_type_from_filename(), and to_script().

void Knob::to_script	(	std::ostream &	o,
		const OutputContext *	context,
		bool	quote
	)		const

virtual

Write the text that describes the state of the knob to a stream. The resulting text must be able to be passed to from_script() to restore the current value.

If context is null, then you should write a description of all the animation of the knob. If context is not null, you should write the a description of the value that is stored for the given context (this string, if passed to from_script(), would then produce a non-animated value for the knob).

For speed this writes directly to the output file, so you must do the quoting if necessary. quote indicates that you should modify the output with the necessary quoting characters and delimiters so that the text results in exactly one word in a space-separated tcl list (generally this means you should add curly braces around it). If quote is false then you should output the text in the form it would be after it is extracted from the list.

The helper class Knob::cstring will correctly quote a string or null so that it is returned unchanged to from_script() or so it can be put into a space-separated Knob::Script_List.

The default version prints the result of get_text(), using Knob::cstring if necessary to quote it.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::ShapeKnob.

References get_text().

void Knob::to_script_prefix ( std::ostream & o ) const

virtual

Write commands that must be executed before the to_script() value can be parsed. This is used to write commands to declare Layers and Formats and other objects that are shared by knobs. Be sure to put a newline after the command. The default version writes nothing.

void Knob::to_script_userknob ( std::ostream & o ) const

virtual

Write the arguments to an addUserKnob command that will create this knob. Nuke will already have written the ClassID() and the name() (the way these are written may change in future versions). This should write keyword+value pairs separated by spaces with a leading space, and use cstring to quote values.

The base class writes " l \a label t \a tooltip ". label is not written if it is the same as name(). tooltip is not written if it is blank.

References DISABLED, HIDDEN, INVISIBLE, and STARTLINE.

bool Knob::not_default ( ) const

virtual

Return true if the knob is not at it's default value. This is used to avoid writing knobs which are set to the default to saved scripts. The base class returns false always.

static Indent* DD::Image::Knob::indent ( )

inlinestatic

DD::Image::Knob::Indent* DD::Image::Knob::indent() Writes the current indentation to the output stream. You use it by doing "o << indent()". This is used by Knob::to_script() to indent lines of text to match the surrounding braces. If you want more indentation, just print spaces after the indent, or feel free to mess with the "Indent::amount" variable, as long as you restore the value after you are done.
