Detailed Description

Base class of all the things that can be created by Nuke nodes.

Nuke will create these things, hook their inputs to other ones, manage animation and store animated values into these by calling the knobs() function, and delete these when the node is destroyed.

Nuke will also invisibly manage multiple copies hidden inside a single node, where each copy is at a different time. This allows a later operator to ask for several time samples and merge them together in order to get motion blur.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ ItemSelectionList

typedef std::map<Hash, std::vector<unsigned int> > DD::Image::Op::ItemSelectionList

The following are utility structures for use in the handle callbacks ItemSelectionList is returned to the callback for eMouseDrag events. For each GeoInfo object which is part of the current selection, this maps the GeoSelection::geoID of the GeoInfo to a vector of indices of selected vertices for that object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ _knobStorePrep()

virtual void DD::Image::Op::_knobStorePrep ( const OutputContext & storeContext )

inlineprotectedvirtual

The subclass-specific portion of knobStorePrep(). See that method for more info.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

Referenced by knobStorePrep().

◆ _invalidate()

void Op::_invalidate ( )

protectedvirtual

Operator-specific part of invalidate(). It will be called only if valid() was on. Recommended that this not be used for anything, it is provided for back-compatibility only. Instead you should implement close() and have that delete cached data if valid() is false. The default version does nothing.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

Referenced by invalidateSameHash().

◆ _validate()

void Op::_validate ( bool for_real )

protectedvirtual

The subclass-dependent portion of validate(). This is called by validate() after checking to see if it is needed.

The default version calls validate(for_real) on all the inputs and does nothing else.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::AxisOp, DD::Image::ComplexLightOp, DD::Image::DeepFilterOp, DD::Image::GeomOp, DD::Image::GeoOp, DD::Image::Iop, DD::Image::TransformGeo, DD::Image::DrawIop, DD::Image::IllumShader, DD::Image::NoIop, DD::Image::NukeWrapper, DD::Image::Read, DD::Image::ReadGeo, DD::Image::Render, DD::Image::RenderScene, DD::Image::Transform, DD::Image::UpRez, and DD::Image::Write.

Referenced by DD::Image::AxisOp::_validate(), DD::Image::GeomOp::_validate(), DD::Image::GeoOp::_validate(), DD::Image::TransformGeo::_validate(), and force_validate().

◆ _open()

void Op::_open ( )

protectedvirtual

The Op-dependent portion of open(). This is called if it has not been called since the last invalidate(). For iops this is called just before the first call to engine(). It's purpose is to delay expensive setup until the very last moment. Usually it will open data files or calculate lookup tables. It can call error() to abort all the processing, if for instance your data files are missing.

All _open() calls are done inside a single locked mutex, so there are no multithreading issues even if several instances of a plugin, or several different plugins, try to update a shared data structure.

The default does nothing.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::Iop, DD::Image::NukeWrapper, DD::Image::PlanarIop, and DD::Image::Read.

Referenced by open().

◆ _close()

void Op::_close ( )

protectedvirtual

The subclass-dependent portion of close(). This will be called by close(). It will be called irregardless of valid state or whether you flagged an error during _open() or _validate().

For back-compatibility, Nuke calls this after 5.0 seconds of idle time. Future versions may not call this at all unless callCloseAfter() is done, so you should add callCloseAfter(5.0) to your plugins to retain compatibility.

Typically _close() will close files, destroy cached data, and call close() on internal operators. It should not destroy any data that it might have returned pointers to (i.e. metadata, cached images, etc) unless valid() is false. To make sure internal caches are destroyed, it should call both invalidate() and close() on any internal Op instances.

Despite the name, this is not the opposite of open(). open() is undone by invalidate(). This may be called multiple times after open() and may be called before open() is ever called.

The default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::Iop, DD::Image::NukeWrapper, DD::Image::Read, DD::Image::ReadGeo, and DD::Image::WriteGeo.

Referenced by close().

◆ create()

Op * Op::create	(	Node *	node,
		const char *	name
	)

protected

Create a new instance of some Op by name. This is assumed to be an internal part of this Op and the new Op's parent() is set to this. This works by calling find_description() and if that succeeds it calles the constructor() function in the description.

An Op can use this to create any other operator, even one in a plugin, as part of itself. You should do this inside _validate() and not inside the constructor so that any errors can be reported correctly. If there is a problem finding a plugin or loading it this will call error() with an appropriate error message and return zero. You should quit in this case, perhaps setting some flags so that further calls to your object will not crash.

You will need to cast the result if you want to use it. For instance if it is an Iop you should use dynamic_cast<Iop*> on it. If this does not work (returning a zero) you should call error() with an appropriate message and give up.

The name passed in is not the necessarily the name that that the node has in the UI: instead it is the name returned by the Class() function in C++ and Python for the node. (For example, the regular Merge node's internal name is "Merge2", and "Merge" refers to the original Merge node, left in for compatibility.

If you have a header file or other description of the object you can store settings into it using methods from the header file. If you do not have the header file you can still use the field() method to put values into it.

◆ build_knob_handles()

void Op::build_knob_handles ( ViewerContext * ctx )

protected

Convenience function for build_handles() to call. This will check if the user interface window is open. If so it will go through all the knobs, and if Knob::build_handle() returns true it calls Knob::add_draw_handle().

References DD::Image::Knob::add_draw_handle(), DD::Image::Knob::build_handle(), knob(), and DD::Image::ViewerContext::pImpl().

◆ doAnyHandles()

Op::HandlesMode Op::doAnyHandles ( ViewerContext * ctx )

protectedvirtual

Function to be implemented by subclasses who implement build_handles. Should return eHandlesCooked or eHandlesUncooked if a call to build_handles might add handles to be drawn, or eNoHandles, if no handles need drawing. The default implementation of this returns the maximum of the values that anyInputHandles() or anyKnobHandles() return

Subclasses that call build_input_handles from build_handles() should make anyInputHandles contribute towards the result with operator| - similarly, subclasses which call build_knob_handles() should return a value from this if anyKnobHandles() returns a value.

Note that at the time that doAnyHandles has been called, the Op tree and inputs has not been generated, and knob values on this Op have not been stored. If the result of this needs to depend upon knob values, fetch the values out with knob("knobName")->get_value().

If this function returns cooked then it will (possibly expensively) generate an op tree, including storing the knob values, and then call build_handles upon that. If it returns uncooked then it can skip the op generation step, and will just call build_handles on an op, assuming that the op can use any arbitrary outputContext and does not need to have had its knobs cooked. (The uiContext() should be correct)

If in previous versions you returned 'true' from this function, you should return eHandlesCooked.

◆ preValidate()

Op::PrevalidateResult Op::preValidate	(	ViewerContext *	ctx = `nullptr`,

preValidate step to perform any potentially expensive steps before validate(). This is cancellable, and will return eCancalled/eAbandoned if the user cancelled or abandoned it. (In the event of a cancellation a subsequent validate will still work, but will do the additional work).

◆ varyingOutputHash()

bool DD::Image::Op::varyingOutputHash ( ) const

inline

Does the current hash() value have contributions from an animating source? This is assigned during Op construction after Op::knobs() and the input hashes have been combined to form the final Op output hash. If true this can be used as a hint to an Op consumer that it may need to handle animating values.

◆ editState()

Hash Op::editState ( ) const

virtual

Op's global edit state, usually formed from the input and local knobs edit states. This state hash should only change when an Op's -global- state is changed, not its OutputContext(time & view) sampled state which is communicated by the Op::hash(). Typically the global state changes when the contents of a Knob is changed (i.e. edited) or the graph topology is changed (i.e. input connections edited.) Op::treeVersion() provides a similar global change notification except that it's global to -all- of Nuke, so Op::editState() allows the individual Node/Op global edit state to be tracked. Note - since editState is built from Knob editVersion integers which are incremented when Knob contents are edited, the editState() hash should never repeat even when Knobs are set back to a previously used value. Op::hash() should exhibit that behavior, not Op::editState()!

Default implementation returns the local _editState built automatically during Op construction, but a subclass can override this to include additional parameters.

◆ _fetchMetaData()

const MetaData::Bundle & Op::_fetchMetaData ( const char * keyname )

virtual

Implement this to supply metadata. by default it will pass through to fetchMetaData on input(0). The reference should be to an internal object that should remain valid until the Op is invalidated: returning a reference to the return value of another Op's fetchMetaData is acceptable.

the key parameter will in future be used to allow only one piece of metadata to be calculated: presently nuke ignores it, and it is safe for plugins to ignore.

Sets the Nuke user interface node this operator belongs to. Nuke uses this to report errors. Warning: do not attempt to set both parent() and node(), they use the same memory location!

◆ nodeFullPath()

std::string Op::nodeFullPath ( char separator = '.' ) const

Return NodeI::fullPath() which is the Node's path with parents separated using the optional separator character. The default separator is a period '.' which is typically used for Nuke expressions.

However periods can cause problems with some path parsers so underscore '_' and colon ':' are often good options.

All printable (std::isprint) characters are allowed, which include space ' '.

Note that forward-slash '/' is handled specially and the first character of the returned path will have a '/' prefix to form an absolute path.

◆ pre_write_knobs()

virtual void DD::Image::Op::pre_write_knobs ( )

inlinevirtual

The Op's Node calls this just before writing all its knobs to an output script stream, allowing the Op to perform arbitrary computations.

◆ knobStorePrep()

void Op::knobStorePrep ( const OutputContext & storeContext )

Nuke calls this method just before knobs() is called in store mode (Knob_Callback::_makeKnobs = false) allowing an Op to perform any work in preparation for knobs() to store values. The OutputContext that will be used in knobs() for storage is provided, which is useful for detecting changes, perhaps to clear any caches related to knobs or Op state values.

This is provided as a separate method because most/all Op plugins will implement knobs() and it becomes a common failure point for specialized Op management subclasses like GeomOp which need to perform reliable logic pre and post knob storage.

An Op subclass can perform its own custom work by implementing the virtual _knobStorePrep() which is called from inside this method.

The corresponding post knob storage method to perform custom work is knobStorePost() with a matching _knobStorePost() virtual method.

◆ knobs()

void Op::knobs ( Knob_Callback callback )

virtual

Define the "knobs" that will be presented in the control panel for the operator.

Normally you call callback once for each Knob you want on the panel. The file Knobs.h describes a number of type-safe wrapper functions that you should use instead of calling callback directly. This file also documents all the existing built-in types.

When knobs are being created callback takes an enumeration value that defines the type of knob being created, and the name, label, and arbitrary extra data to pass to the constructor, and a pointer to data that may (depending on the knob type) be used to get a default value.

When data is being stored callback ignores all the arguments except the pointer, this is then passed to the store() method of the knob that was created last time.

Use of only the enumerated types avoids the need to link with Nuke, thus allowing your image operator to be used with other programs that only use the DDImage libarary.

If desired a custom Knob may be created. In this case your operator will only work as a plugin to Nuke. This function must call the makeKnobs() function on the callback object and if true it should call the constructor for the custom knob. If false it should call callback, you can pass 0 for all the arguments except the pointer, which will be passed to the store() method of your Knob.

◆ knobStorePost()

void Op::knobStorePost	(	const OutputContext &	storeContext,
		Hash &	hash
	)

Nuke calls this method just after knobs() is called in store mode (Knob_Callback::_makeKnobs = false) allowing an Op to perform any additional work related to the storing of Op values and Op state handling.

The output Op::hash() can also be manipulated at the same time, reducing the need to repeat calculations in Op::append(). The incoming hash variable contains the result of the hashes built in knobs() plus possibly input hash contributions. See Op::append() for more info.

This is provided as a separate method because most/all Op plugins will implement knobs() and it becomes a common failure point for specialized Op management subclasses like GeomOp which need to perform reliable logic pre and post knob storage. For example GeomOp::buildGeomState() is called from this method for GeomOps so that geometry-specific output hashes are reliably handled.

An Op subclass can perform its own custom work by implementing the virtual _knobStorePost() which is called from inside this method.

The corresponding pre knob storage method to perform custom work is knobStorePrep() with a matching _knobStorePrep() virtual method.

◆ replace_knobs()

int Op::replace_knobs	(	Knob *	afterthis,
		int	n,
		void()(void , Knob_Callback)	f,
		void *	v,
		const char *	fileExt = `nullptr`
	)

Change the set of knobs this node has, by deleting n knobs after the afterthis knob, then inserting new knobs produced by calling the function f. The return value is the number of knobs created by f, which you probably want to save and pass to the next call.

If n is zero or negative then this only creates knobs. If f is null then this only destroys knobs.

Currently the old knobs are completly destroyed. Future versions may try to match up the new knobs with the old ones and preserve the values and widgets.

Your knobs() function should also call f by using add_knobs(). You also need to pick a knob that controls the rest of the knobs and set the Knob::KNOB_CHANGED_ALWAYS flag on it so that you can change the set of knobs on any changes.

◆ add_knobs()

int Op::add_knobs	(	void()(void , Knob_Callback)	f,
		void *	v,
		Knob_Callback	cb
	)

Call f() and return how many knobs it created. This should be called inside a knobs() function to create the original set of knobs that will be changed by replace_knobs(), and to store the values into the current set of knobs. This will return zero if the callback is not creating knobs.

Referenced by DD::Image::FileOp::extra_knobs(), and DD::Image::FileOp::replaceable_knobs().

◆ set_unlicensed()

void Op::set_unlicensed ( )

Disable all knobs on the node that this op belongs to, other than the ones on the Node tab. This can be called at the end of your knobs() method to ensure that all knobs are disabled (for example, if a license check is failed).

◆ knob() [1/2]

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

Find and return a Knob on the control panel for the node that controls this Op. Returns null if there is no knob with the given name.

If knobs() has not been called, you may not get knobs you think should exist. This will happen if this Op was created directly by another Op. If such a controlling op wants to change the stored data, it should use the field() method to get the pointer to where to store it, rather than trying to change the value of a knob.

If DDImage is not being used by Nuke this will return null. However field() will still work.

◆ knob() [2/2]

Knob * Op::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.

◆ pushed()

bool Op::pushed ( ) const

Returns true if any knob is Knob::pushed(), meaning the user is holding it down with the mouse. Currently only implemented for the handles in the viewer, but the intention is to make it work for widgets in the control panels, too. This is used by Transform to enable the texture map preview.

◆ field() [1/2]

void * Op::field ( const char * name )

Locate the memory that will be stored into by the knob with the given name and return a pointer to it. Returns null if not found.

This works by calling knobs() with a special callback function that examines each callback for the correct name. This is not particularily fast so you may want to store the retuned pointer somewhere.

This will work even if knob() does not work. It will work for internal Op instances made with create() or by direct construction that are not visible to the user and have no knobs.

◆ set_field()

void * Op::set_field	(	const char *	name,
		const void *	source,

		float	z = `0`,
		ViewerContext::Cursor	cursor = `ViewerContext::kNoCursor`
	)

Callback handling. Used to register callbacks to receive Viewer events listed in the HandleType callback. The op must implement an add_draw_handle call from it's build_handles to ensure that draw_handle gets called. The op can then register callbacks from within it's draw_handle to receive these events.

◆ knob_changed()

int Op::knob_changed ( Knob * )

virtual

Whenever the user moves a Knob this is called with a pointer to the Knob, on one of the Ops controlled by that Knob. The purpose is to automatically enable/disable or set the values of other knobs.

Do not assume this is called on all instances of your Op! It will not be in cases of clones or multiple frame numbers in Nuke. So storing results in this call is wrong! To get values out of knobs you must either rely on them being stored and validate() being called, or you must ask for them using knob(name)->value().

You must return non-zero if you do anything. Returning zero indicates that there is no need to call this on the same knob again. Base class returns zero always.

◆ inputArrows()

int Op::inputArrows ( int nodeInputs ) const

virtual

overriden by Ops to specify the number of input arrows to display on the DAG the op has not been stored/generated. nodeInputs is how many inputs are connected to the node right now (or rather, the index of the first unconnected input). Returning -1 (which the default implementation always does) indicates that the DAG should use its default behaviour.

◆ script_command()

bool Op::script_command	(	const char *	command,
		bool	py = `true`,
		bool	eval = `true`
	)		const

Execute the string in Nuke's scripting language. Returns true on success, false if there is an error. The resulting output (either text or an error message) is in script_result(). You must call script_unlock() after you are done looking at the result, if you want to keep it around you should copy it to your own memory.

References node().

◆ script_expand()

bool Op::script_expand ( const char * str ) const

"expand" the string in Nuke's scripting language. Returns true on success, false if there is an error. The resulting output (either the expanded text or an error message) is in script_result(). You must call script_unlock() after you are done looking at the result, if you want to keep it around you should copy it to your own memory.

The current version replaces backslash sequences, executes "[command]" and inserts the result, and replaces $variable with global tcl variables. It also will produce strange results if the DDString.has mismatched quotes or curly braces in it.

If the string does not contain any special characters then result is set directly to it. Be aware of this if you attempt to delete string.

This is very similar to script_command("return string") except it avoids some quoting problems and is much faster in the common case where there are no commands.

References node().

◆ script_result()

const char * Op::script_result ( bool py = false )

static

The result of the most recent script_command() or script_expand(). For multithreading this buffer is protected by a recursive lock that is set by calling script_command() or script_expand(). You must call script_unlock() to release the lock.

◆ script_unlock()

void Op::script_unlock ( )

static

Allow the memory for script_result() to the most recent script_command() or script_expand() to be reused. You must call this exactly once for every call to script_command() or script_expand()!

◆ build_handles()

void Op::build_handles ( ViewerContext * ctx )

virtual

Construct a list of callbacks to draw handles for this Op. Because handles are drawn much more often than they are changed a great deal of time is saved by searching and building a list of the functions to call.

The default implementation recursively calls all the input ops (with build_input_handles()) and then calls all the knobs (with build_knob_handles()).

If the op wants to draw a custom GL interface such as outlines or even texture maps, it must call ViewerContext::add_draw_handle() with pointers to routines to be executed to draw the OpenGL. The convenience function Op::add_draw_handle() will cause the virtual function draw_handle() to be called for this.

The op can also mess with the transformation in the context, switch the viewer between 2D and 3D, and do other modifications to the OpenGl state. Look at Transform, AxisOp and DrawIop for different ways of implementing this.

Call build_handles() on an input to this op. The input numbers are the user-visible numbers (not the result of split_inputs().

This is better than calling build_handles() on the input directly, as it checks to see if the operator was visited already (not doing this can make it exponentially slow when there are many splits and joins in a script), and it saves and restores parts of the ctx like the transform so they can be changed by the operator, and it skips added operators like PostageStamp that should not be visible to the user.

◆ getViewableModes()

int Op::getViewableModes ( ) const

virtual

Return a bitmask of the suggested viewable modes supported for this op.

The return value should a bitmask of or'ed together values from the ViewableModes enum.

The Nuke viewer will automatically switch to 3D or 2D modes when connected to an op that is only vieweable in a single mode.

The default implementation does the following:

returns eViewableMode3D for ops that are not Iops or convertable to Iops. returns eViewableMode2D for Iops or ops that can be convertible to Iops, and if all their inputs are the same type as the op. returns ( eViewableMode2D | eViewableMode3D ) for Iops or ops that can be convertible to Iops if they have mixed inputs

bool Op::test_input	(	int	n,

It can use any test wanted, but usually uses RTTI dynamic_cast<class*> to see if the Op is the correct subclass. If this returns false, then Nuke will use default_input() to generate the op that will be connected to this input.

If you implement split_input() n is the user-visible input number, but set_input() will be called with the split input number.

The default version returns false, so you can't hook anything up.

Return an op tree that could be connected to input n. This allows you to peek at your input ops before validate() is called, such as in knobs() or in the constructor. Or you can use this to peek at an input after uses_input() returns zero or split_input() returns zero or negative.

n is the user-visible input number. If you implement split_input() this may be different than input(n), but it is the same as input(n,0).

type determines what exactly is in the returned op.

Op::OUTPUT_OP returns an Op that you can call Class() on but not much else. Knob values have not been stored in it and no inputs are hooked up.
Op::ANY_CONTEXT will return an op created for this version of the tree but it may return it set to a different OutputContext. This lets you call almost anything but you cannot depend on any animated values being correct.
Op::INPUT_OP is like ANY_CONTEXT but skips disabled nodes so it returns the actual op that will be used to create data. Used by code that wants to peek at the output data, such as the format or frame range, but does not require the exact correct frame number or view.
Op::EXECUTABLE forces the OutputContext to be a certain value. Don't use this as I have not decided what this certain value is yet (may be uiContext(), outputContext(), or inputContext()...)
Op::EXECUTABLE_INPUT both forces the OutputContext and skips disabled nodes, and also inserts hidden ops used to generate Postage stamps and texture maps. This is as close as possible to the actual Op that will be connected to this input.

If the input is not connected, OUTPUT_OP will return NULL, since this is commonly used to check if an input is connected. Note that if default_input(n) returns NULL, you cannot distinguish a disconnected input from an input connected to a Switch or other non-op node that is itself disconnected.

All other values for type return default_input(n) if the input is not connected.

Except for type of OUTPUT_OP, this is slow, and if the context it uses is wrong, it will cause extra instances of the entire Op tree to be generated, which can be very wasteful depending on the Op.

◆ inputs() [2/2]

void Op::inputs ( int n )

virtual

Change the number returned by inputs(). Actually resizes array. New entries are NULL; old ones have removeOutput called on them if set.

◆ input() [1/2]

Op * Op::input ( int n ) const

Return input n. This is the same as input(n, 0) if you do not implement split_input(), but is much faster.

This is null if set_input() has not been called.

Nuke only calls set_input() just before validate() is called, and only if uses_input() returns non-zero. If you want to look at the input op before this (such as in inputContext() methods) you must use node_input().

◆ inputNumber()

int Op::inputNumber	(	int	input,
		int	offset
	)		const

Calculate the "flat" input number from the user-visible input number and an index into the values returned by split_input(). This is the same as n+offset of you do not implement split_input(). offset is assumed to be less than abs(split_input(n)).

◆ getInputs()

const std::vector< Op * > & DD::Image::Op::getInputs ( ) const

inline

Returns a reference to a vector of all inputs, including input0 and other_inputs. Note that this may contain null pointers if some in between inputs are disconnected.

Referenced by DD::Image::Write::execute().

◆ getChildren()

const std::vector< Op * > & DD::Image::Op::getChildren ( ) const

inline

Returns a reference to a vector of all child ops. Avoid using this; it is only really public for op tree traversal.

◆ set_input() [1/2]

void Op::set_input	(	int	i,
		Op *	op,
		int	input,
		int	offset
	)

virtual

Set input(n). This does not change inputs(), even if n is greater.

This is a virtual function so that subclasses can set the input pointers for child operators. The arguments to inputNumber() are also provided to assist with this. Make sure that any derived classes still call the parent class version though.

◆ setOutputContext()

void Op::setOutputContext ( const OutputContext & c )

virtual

Change what is in outputContext(). Nuke calls this for you. Subclasses can override this, but they must call the base class with exactly the same context. This method is a convenient place to do calculations that are needed before any of the following methods work:

int split_input(int) const;
float uses_input(int) const;
const OutputContext& inputContext(int n, int m, OutputContext&) const;
Op* defaultInput(int n, const OutputContext&) const; The knob values have been stored at this point, but no inputs have been created.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::AxisOp, and DD::Image::GeomOp.

Referenced by DD::Image::GeomOp::setOutputContext().

◆ append()

void Op::append ( Hash & hash )

virtual

Calculate a value for the hash(). The incoming variable is a suggested value for the hash, calculated by Nuke. This is a hash of all the uses_input() Op hash values and all the knobs() that don't have the NO_RERENDER flag set. A subclass can override this to modify the hash, such as to append the frame number in cases where the output image changes depending on the frame even if no controls are animated. If the hash modification is time varying then also call Op::enableVaryingOutputHash() so Op consumers have a hint that the Op animates.

void MyOp::append(Hash& hash) {
this->actual_frame = clamp(int(outputContext.frame()), first, last);
hash.append(actual_frame);
enableVaryingOutputHash();
}

The default version does nothing.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::Read, and DD::Image::Transform.

Referenced by DD::Image::AxisOp::_validate().

◆ uses_input()

float Op::uses_input ( int ) const

virtual

Return non-zero to indicate that this operator actually uses the data on the given input arrow. If this returns false then Nuke will not highlight the input arrow, and may not even construct the operator on this input (so the pointer may be null or garbage or an out-of-date version of the operator.

The value may be used to control how bright the arrow is, 1.0 indicates full use, 0.0 indicates none. This allows a cross-dissolve operator to fade the arrows on/off. In addition, values <= .01 will appear off to the user but will still construct inputs, this is useful for operators that want to peek at the frame ranges or formats but appear to the user as though the input is unused.

The default version returns 1.0.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

Referenced by DD::Image::NukeWrapper::uses_input().

◆ split_input()

int Op::split_input ( int n ) const

virtual

If this returns a number m greater or equal to zero, then the user-visible input n is split into m separate inputs (i.e. the number of inputs will be increased by m-1, and the next user-visible input will be at input n+m).

This is used to look at the input at several different frames.

If you override this you must also override inputContext() to return different values for each of these or they will all end up hooked to the same Op.

Returning -1 acts like 1 but leaves the input connected to an arbitrary frame (same as what node_input(n, ANY_CONTEXT) returns). You are expected to use an Execute object to switch this input to specific frames.

The default version returns 1.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::Write, DD::Image::WriteGeo, DD::Image::NukeWrapper, and DD::Image::RenderScene.

Referenced by inputNumber(), and DD::Image::NukeWrapper::split_input().

◆ inputContext()

const OutputContext & Op::inputContext	(	int	n,
		int	offset,
		OutputContext &	scratch
	)		const

virtual

Return the context to use for the input connected to input(n, offset). The most common thing to do is to change the frame number.

The default version returns outputContext().

You can use scratch as a space to construct the context and return it.

This cannot look at input n or above, as they have not been created yet. Often though it is useful to look at these inputs, for instance to get the frame range to make a time-reversing operator. If you want to do this you use node_input() to generate a "likely" op. You can examine any data in it that you know will not depend on the frame number.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::NukeWrapper, DD::Image::RenderScene, and DD::Image::Write.

Referenced by DD::Image::Render::_validate(), and DD::Image::NukeWrapper::inputContext().

◆ inputUIContext()

const OutputContext * Op::inputUIContext	(	int	n,
		OutputContext &	scratch
	)		const

virtual

Return the context to show the user for the input connected to user input n. This is used if the frame number, view, etc that you want the user to see is different than the first one you actually want. For instance a time-blending operation may want the times frame-.5 and frame+.5, but wants the user to see the frame number unchanged.

Typical implementation is to not mess with the frame number:

const OutputContext* MyOp::inputUIContext(int n, OutputContext&) const {
return &outputContext();
}

The default version returns null, which is for back compatibility. If null is returned, inputContext(n,0) is used.

◆ default_input()

Op * Op::default_input ( int n ) const

virtual

Return the Op to connect to this input if the arrow is disconnected in Nuke, or if the Op Nuke tries fails the test_input() test. Making this method return a default instance of the desired Op type will avoid having to put many checks for null inputs in your code. This can assume outputContext() is already set.

The default version returns NULL, so disconnected arrows get NULL in their inputs.

If you implement split_input() n is the user-visible input number, but set_input() will be called with the split input number.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::GeoOp, DD::Image::IllumShader, DD::Image::TransformGeo, DD::Image::AxisOp, DD::Image::GeomOp, DD::Image::ShaderOp, DD::Image::SourceGeomOp, DD::Image::Iop, and DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

◆ hash()

const Hash & DD::Image::Op::hash ( ) const

inline

A value which will change as the output of the operator changes. Nuke calculates this as a side-effect of constructing the tree. See append(Hash&) for how this is calculated.

◆ frameTransformImplemented()

virtual bool DD::Image::Op::frameTransformImplemented ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Override frameTransformImplemented() to return true if the Op implements frameTransformDownstream and frameTransformUpstream. These are used to transform the times on keyframes used for such panels as the Dope Sheet and the Curve Editor, as well as the keyframes on the Viewer timeline.

For example, if this node is a simple retime with a constant factor, then frameTransformDownstream should be overridden to set outFrame to the frame /produced/ given an input frame; and frameTransformUpstream should be overriden to set inFrame to the frame /required/ given an output frame.

For time operators that use multiple frames the 'centre' one should be preferred: this is the same one which will be return by inputUIContext (or if that isn't implemented by the Op, then inputContext. The OutputContext is passed in so that the view and other things on it can be honoured if necessary; ignore that frame on it.

The downstream and upstream methods should match, so taking the result of frameTransformDownstream and feeding it into frameTransformUpstream should produce the same result. However, there are lots of exceptions to this, in particular when there is no downstream mapping the outFrame is allowed to be NAN.

Note that it may be more helpful to provide an extension of the mapping that is is use for the linear part than actually reflecting clipping behaviour at the end. These functions are used for display of keyframes in the user interface and not for actual processing.

Both transform methods also take an input index, which identifies which input is upstream along the path being taken through the DAG. This allows overrides to query upstream nodes for data required for the time transform, e.g. input clip start/length.

frameTransformDownstrean and frameTransformUpstream should return true if the mapping was successful, or false if no mapping was available.

◆ getDopeItemFlags()

DopeItemFlags::Mask Op::getDopeItemFlags ( ) const

virtual

Flags for influencing how the Op should be represented in the dopesheet. Override as appropriate.

◆ shouldHideInDopeSheet()

virtual bool DD::Image::Op::shouldHideInDopeSheet ( Knob * knob ) const

inlinevirtual

Overrides should return true if the specified knob should be omitted in the Dope Sheet. This can be used to hide knobs such as the Read node's 'file' knob.

◆ getDopeItemKnob()

virtual DD::Image::Knob * DD::Image::Op::getDopeItemKnob ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Override for an Op to specify a specific knob's keys to appear in its dope item in the DopeSheet. This is intended for use by time nodes, where the bar representing a time clip is driven by animation keys on a knob.

◆ requested()

bool DD::Image::Op::requested ( ) const

inline

Returns true if setRequested() has been called since the last time forget_request() was called. This is used by Iop::request() style calls to see if this is the first time they were visited.

Referenced by DD::Image::Iop::_copyState(), forget_request(), forgetRequestShallow(), and DD::Image::Iop::request().

◆ setRequested()

void DD::Image::Op::setRequested ( )

inline

Make requested() return true. This is intended to be called by subclass methods such as Iop::request().

Referenced by DD::Image::Iop::request().

◆ forgetRequestShallow()

void Op::forgetRequestShallow ( )

Turn off requested() in this Op only

Without this Iop::request() calls will accumulate their results and the Iop::_request() virtual functions will not be called unless the request is for more channels or pixels.

References requested().

◆ forget_request()

void Op::forget_request ( std::set< Op * > & forgotten )

Recursively turn off requested() in this Op and all the inputs. Without this Iop::request() calls will accumulate their results and the Iop::_request() virtual functions will not be called unless the request is for more channels or pixels.

Also see all_forget_request() which is much faster.

References input(), inputs(), and requested().

◆ all_forget_request()

void DD::Image::Op::all_forget_request ( )

Acts like forget_request() was called on every Op in existence. This is done by incrementing a static variable and is thus a much faster method.

Referenced by DD::Image::ToBuffer::to_buffer().

◆ node_shape()

const char * Op::node_shape ( ) const

virtual

Return what shape Nuke should draw the box in the DAG window. This is a string where the characters approximately show what shapes the ends of the box are. The default return value is "[]" (or "\‍)" for DeepOps);

Other possible characters are < > ( ) r c p b { } / \ and !

◆ node_color()

unsigned Op::node_color ( ) const

virtual

Return the default color for the Node in the Nuke DAG window. The value is 0xRRGGBBAA. The AA byte is ignored right now. Returning 0 indicates that you want the fall-back color set in the user's preferences to be used. If you really want to return black, return 0xff.

◆ node_help()

const char * Op::node_help ( ) const

pure virtual

Return help information for this node. This information is in the pop-up window that the user gets when they hit the [?] button in the lower-left corner of the control panel.

The first character should not be a punctuation mark, they are all reserved for future use.

Implemented in DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

Referenced by DD::Image::NukeWrapper::node_help().

◆ input_label()

const char * Op::input_label	(	int	i,
		char *	buffer
	)		const

virtual

Return the text Nuke should draw on the arrow head for input i in the DAG window. This should be a very short string, one letter ideally. If you want you can print into the passed buffer and return a pointer to that, the buffer is very short (20 characters). Return null or an empty string to not label the arrow.

The default version checks maximum_inputs(). It leaves 1-input nodes blank. 2-input nodes are labeled B and A. Higher numbers of inputs get their index number + 1 as a label.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::IllumShader, DD::Image::SourceGeomOp, and DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

Referenced by DD::Image::NukeWrapper::input_label().

◆ input_longlabel()

std::string Op::input_longlabel ( int i ) const

virtual

Return a longer string describing an input. This is used when there is more room to format the string into, such as a tooltip. If an empty string is returned then input_label() is used.

◆ node_redraw()

void DD::Image::Op::node_redraw ( )

inline

An operator should call this if it does anything to change it's color(), shape(), or label(), this tells Nuke to update the DAG display. If this operator has a parent() this does nothing.

◆ print_name()

void DD::Image::Op::print_name ( std::ostream & o ) const

◆ invalidateSameHash()

void Op::invalidateSameHash ( )

Make sure the next call to validate() calls _validate(), by turning off the valid() flag, and calling _invalidate().

This is a very fast function if valid() is false so you can call it many times.

References _invalidate().

Referenced by DD::Image::NukeWrapper::_invalidate(), and invalidate().

◆ invalidate() [1/2]

bool Op::invalidate ( )

If valid(), change the hash() to a random number and call invalidateSameHash(). Since the hash is different, output operators that check it to see if the image has changed will think it has changed. Returns true if it was valid().

Don't use this on Op instances produced by Nuke as it will mess up the hash() value which Nuke relies on not changing. Plugins can use this on internal Op instances, and other programs using DDImage can use this.

If you just want to force _validate() to get called, use invalidateSameHash().

References invalidateSameHash().

◆ invalidate() [2/2]

bool Op::invalidate ( const Hash & hash )

Checks if the hash is different, in which case it changes hash() to this new value, and calls invalidateSameHash(). Returns true if the hash is different.

References _haveHash, hash(), and invalidateSameHash().

◆ update()

bool Op::update ( const Box * box = nullptr )

Obsolete function, calls asapUpdate(*box) or asapUpdate() if box is NULL, returns true.

Referenced by gotoContext().

◆ asapUpdate() [1/2]

void Op::asapUpdate ( )

Indicate that the output of this Op has changed. This may be called by a parallel thread, such as a socket listener, or other connection to an outside image source. The Nuke viewer will redraw with the new image.

Currently you must also implement append(Hash&) and make it modify the hash. The easiest way is to increment a counter when you call this and add call hash.append(counter) in that function. The viewer will not update if the hash does not change.

This disables disk caching by the viewer, on the assumption that the resulting image will only be seen once.

Return value from Nuke is currently always true.

◆ asapUpdate() [2/2]

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

Same as asapUpdate() but the box indicates an area that you want the viewer to draw first. This area must be in viewer coordinates (including the current proxy settings). This is used by paint strokes.

The optional direction indicates which direction to draw the box. Positive draws from bottom to top, negative from top to bottom. Zero indicates you don't care.

◆ validate()

void Op::validate ( bool for_real = true )

Turns on valid(), and if for_real is true, turns on real_valid(). This returns immediately if these flags are already on.

When this returns, info() has been filled in with information about the output image. If for_real is false this is a quick "simulation" used by Nuke. If for_real is true this is a more accurate version that incorporates the actual information that is read from input files, and can take considerably longer.

If this has ever called error() since the last time invalidate() was called, this will immediately report the same error message, turn on abort(), and return. You must test for this after calling open() (this need for a test will go away when we fix it to use exceptions).

References force_validate().

◆ force_validate()

void Op::force_validate ( bool for_real = true )

virtual

Acts as though valid() is off and does validate(). Thus you can be certain that _validate() is called.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::Iop, and DD::Image::MultiTileIop.

References _validate(), and DD::Image::OpMessageHandler::markMessagesAsOld().

Referenced by DD::Image::Iop::force_validate(), and validate().

◆ valid()

bool DD::Image::Op::valid ( ) const

inline

Returns true if it has been validated - including if there was an error.

Returns true after validate(false) or validate(true) has been called. You should not use the data in info() for anything if this is false. Instead call valid() first.

Referenced by DD::Image::Iop::_close(), copyState(), and DD::Image::Write::execute().

◆ real_valid()

bool DD::Image::Op::real_valid ( ) const

inline

Returns true if it has been real-validated - including if there was an error.

Returns true after validate(true) has been called. This means the data in info() is truly correct and tested against slow things like opening files. This is used by Nuke, normal programs that never call validate(false) will not need to use this and can use valid().

Referenced by DD::Image::Iop::copy_info(), copyState(), DD::Image::Iop::merge_info(), and DD::Image::Iop::request().

◆ opened()

bool DD::Image::Op::opened ( ) const

inline

Returns true after open() has been called. Returns false after invalidate() or close() has been called. This indicates that the operator is ready to have data extracted from it (by the engine() call in the case of an Iop). Normally this is turned on by operators calling open() on themselves on the first call to get data.

◆ open()

void Op::open ( )

Gets the operator ready for producing data. Normally this is called by operator implementations on the first call to get some data from it. The main thing this does is call _open() if it has not been called since the last invalidate().

If this has ever called error() since the last time invalidate() was called, this will immediately report the same error message, turn on abort(), and return. You must test for this after calling open() (this need for a test will go away when we fix it to use exceptions).

References _open(), abort(), aborted(), and validate().

Referenced by DD::Image::NukeWrapper::_open(), DD::Image::DeepOp::deepEngine(), and DD::Image::Iop::fetchPlane().

◆ running() [1/2]

bool DD::Image::Op::running ( ) const

inline

Returns true if engine() is currently executing. This is used to highlight the busy operators in Nuke. It is not very accurate (because multiple threads may turn it off) so don't use this for anything other than user feedback.

◆ running() [2/2]

void DD::Image::Op::running ( bool v )

inline

Turn the running highlight in the Nuke display on/off. You should do this around any code that extracts data. This is very fast (much faster than calling node_redraw()), it just sets/clears a local flag. Nuke works by running a parallel thread that wakes several times a second to see if the highlight changed and redraw the DAG display with the current highlighting.

◆ not_closed()

bool DD::Image::Op::not_closed ( ) const

inline

Returns true after open() has been called. Returns false after close() has been called. invalidate() does not turn this off, this is an indicator that the Op may have resources allocated that could be freed.

◆ close()

void Op::close ( )

Tell the Op to free all recreatable data, on the assumption that this operator will not be used again soon. This calls _close() and also turns off flags so it knows that _open() must be called again.

References _close().

Referenced by DD::Image::NukeWrapper::_close(), and callPendingClose().

◆ callCloseAfter()

void Op::callCloseAfter ( double seconds )

Indicate that close() (and thus _close()) should be called after the given number of seconds of idle. Passing zero is useful to get close() called as soon as the viewer stops updating.

This is a one-shot timeout, the entry is removed after close() is called. Call this again if you want to be called again. Only the last call is used, it replaces any previous timeout whether larger or smaller, so calling this with INFINITY will disable the callback.

◆ callPendingClose()

double Op::callPendingClose ( double seconds )

static

Call close() on some (currently only zero or one) Ops that asked for it to be called with a time less or equal to seconds. Return with the smallest time of any remaining callCloseAfter calls, or INFINITY if none. You should loop until this returns INFINITY (or perhaps some very large number).

References close().

◆ clearPendingClose()

void Op::clearPendingClose ( )

static

For use by Nuke, do not use

◆ copyState()

void Op::copyState ( Op * input )

This is called when Nuke inserts no-op operators such as postagestamps. Change the op's valid and request state to match exactly the input, and possibly move the cache from the input to here. The hash is copied because this must be a no-op.

Indicates that caching of the output data is requested, so that asking for it again will be faster. Whether or not this does anything depends on the subclass of Op, but Iop uses this.

◆ executable()

virtual Executable * DD::Image::Op::executable ( )

inlinevirtual

Return pointer to this object as an Executable if you want Nuke to call execute() on this node when the user hits render.

Don't implement this if you just want to have a button the user presses to execute the node. The tcl "execute" command will still work and you can make a script_knob that calls it.

The default version returns nil.

◆ setKnobsToContext()

void Op::setKnobsToContext	(	const OutputContext &	context,
		bool	force = `false`
	)

Change the knobs to reflect the values at a different frame (or other piece of context information), and call invalidate if they are different. This can be used to determine the Op's animation. Make sure the knobs are set back by calling this with outputContext() when done.

If \bforce is true then the knobs will always be stored and the hash recalculated. This can be used to update an Op if the knob contents have been changed between the last knobs() call but before validate().

Referenced by DD::Image::Transform::matrixAt(), and DD::Image::AxisOp::setOutputContext().

◆ gotoContext()

void Op::gotoContext	(	const OutputContext &	context,
		bool	update
	)

Change Nuke to reflect a different frame number (and perhaps other aspects of the context), and change this op and its entire input tree to reflect this context. If update is true then it will also pause until the entire user interface is updated with the new frame.

You will have to call validate() on the inputs before using them.

This should only be called due to UI actions such as knob_changed().

References update().

◆ progressFraction()

void Op::progressFraction	(	double	fraction,
		StatusFlags	flags = `StatusNone`
	)

Set the location of the progress bar. fraction should be between 0 and 1. If this is not called the fraction is zero. flags can control the behaviour of progress updates, see StatusFlags enum. Only StatusUseCallback affects progressFraction().

References status_callback.

Referenced by DD::Image::Writer::progressFraction(), and DD::Image::GeoWriter::status().

◆ progressMessage()

void Op::progressMessage	(	const char *	fmt,
			...
	)

Set a message to display on the progress meter. If this is not called, or if fmt is zero, then the message is the name of the operator. If you already have the message figured out, use a fmt of "%s", this is detected and the next argument is passed directly.

References status_callback, and vsnprintf().

Referenced by DD::Image::Write::execute().

◆ progressDismiss()

void Op::progressDismiss ( )

Make the progress meter disappear (if it was displaying this op) and reset all the progress stuff to it's default values.

References status_callback.

◆ slowness()

int DD::Image::Op::slowness ( ) const

inline

0 means no cache is necessary. This is for operators that directly calculate their output (and thus read no inputs), and for operators that internally buffer their output (so any additional caching is useless). Any operator that returns zero will disable any attempt to cache the output.

Non-zero numbers are supposed to indicate the slowness of the calculation. In theory this will be used to intelligently place caches where they do the most good, but the values are currently ignored. A sequence of operators would have the request() counts multiplied by their slowness and these added together to get an idea how expensive a branch is. So this value should be linear with the speed of the operator.

The default value is 10. This value is used by color correctors and similar pixel operators. Almost any other operator will be slower, you should judge how long it takes relative to a color corrector and multiply accordingly.

1 means really fast and should be returned by an operator that does not look at pixels, but simply copies blocks of them from the input to the output. Shuffle and Crop are examples of this.

◆ firstEngineRendersWholeRequest()

bool Op::firstEngineRendersWholeRequest ( ) const

virtual

Override this method and return true if the first engine call renders the entire request area and locks all the other render threads.

This may be used to reuse the spare render threads in other parts of the tree and only call this op's engine call from one thread.

It is also useful in Nuke as it will hide the 'white-lines' if this method returns true and the viewer is connected to this op.

Note it is valid to return true or false dynamically from this method between validate passes.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

Referenced by DD::Image::NukeWrapper::firstEngineRendersWholeRequest().

◆ updateUI()

virtual bool DD::Image::Op::updateUI ( const OutputContext & context )

inlinevirtual

can be overriden by ops to update their UI when their control panel is open. if you override it, return true, otherwise it will not be called again.

◆ input_format()

const Format & Op::input_format ( ) const

Returns the full_size_format() of node_input(0). This is needed to convert uv values to pixels or to look at the pixel aspect ratio. It can also be used to initialize default values of fields in the constructor. If the input is not connected, or not connected to a node producing an Iop, the format of Iop::default_input() is returned.

Note that until validate() is called, this returns only a "guess". Be prepared for the format being different in validate().

References node().

◆ uiContext()

const OutputContext & Op::uiContext ( ) const

Return the "user interface Context" from the node that generated this Op. See Knob::outputContext() for more information. This is most useful for finding out the frame number or view the user is interested in right now. This is not necessarily the same as the Context passed to setOutputContext()!

◆ error()

void Op::error	(	const char *	fmt,
			...
	)

An operator can call this to report an error. This will abort all trees that the op is in - i. e. calling aborted() on this op or any op in one of the trees it's in will subsequently return true.

The fact that this was called is recorded and open() will immediately cause the error again and return unless you call invalidate() on this.

The current version truncates the error message at 2048 characters unless the format is "%s" in which case it knows to use the first argument directly.

◆ tryValidate()

bool Op::tryValidate ( bool for_real = true )

Call validate() and return true if it did not cause error() to be called. During this call calls to error() do not cause abort(), and thus will not kill running parallel threads.

All new code should call this instead of validate() to be compatible with future versions.

Returns false if error was called. More detail can be retrieved from the message in the op's message handler - see getMsgHandler(). Returns true if error() was not called.

◆ resolveKnobAsset()

std::string Op::resolveKnobAsset	(	Knob *	knob,
		const std::string &	assetPath
	)

virtual

Resolves an asset path associated with the specified knob. Returns the asset's local file path if it has one. If the knob has been configured to fetch additional metadata from its assets, this will be available for retrieval using the resolve() method on the knob's AssetInfo object. Ops should only need to override if they need to forward events to internal ops (e.g. NukeWrapper)

Reimplemented in DD::Image::NukeWrapper.

◆ updateKnobsFromAsset()

bool Op::updateKnobsFromAsset ( Knob * knob )

virtual

Populate any affected knobs with values taken from asset metadata when an assetized knob changes. This version should typically be called from knob_changed() to respond to an asset path change on a knob. Ops should only need to override if they need to forward events to internal ops (e.g. NukeWrapper)

IMPORTANT: we don't know at this point if the knob that changed is actually assetized or not (i.e. it has an AssetInfo object). If your implementation determines that the knob is not assetized but still needs to make changes to it (set or clear flags, etc) then you MUST return true here to ensure the knob is able to trigger knob_changed() events in future.

◆ _updateKnobsFromAsset()

void Op::_updateKnobsFromAsset	(	Knob *	assetKnob,
		const ndk::asset::AssetData &	assetData

virtual

◆ Class()

const char * DD::Image::Op::Class ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the command name that will be stored in Nuke scripts. This must be unique for each different function and must be the same string (ie the same pointer) as is in the Op::Description object that constructed this instance.

If you don't plan to make a Nuke operator you can have this return null.

◆ displayName()

const char * Op::displayName ( ) const

virtual

Return a name for this class that will be shown to the user. The default implementation returns Class(). You can return a different (ie more user-friendly) name instead here, and there is no need for this to be unique.

Nuke currently will remove any trailing digits and underscores from this and add a new number to make a unique name for the new node.

◆ onAction()

virtual bool DD::Image::Op::onAction	(	const ViewerContext *	c,
		const DD::Image::Flags	f,
		void *	d
	)

inlinevirtual

A function designed to send keyboard (and other) events to the selected node. Could be used for a variety of event & data.

◆ get()

Op * Op::get ( const Description * description )

This is used to insert operators that produce data needed by the user interface, such as TextureMap, Histograms, and PostageStamp. Usually this is called by one of the outputs of this op to insert something that operator needs for the user interface.

Nuke will create the described operator and connect it to the output of this->firstOp(), inserting it between it and whatever was connected to there. The new operator is returned. You can then validate() it and execute() it to get information from it. Or you can rely on side-effects of lines being pulled through the operator, or on execute() being called during idle by Nuke, which will avoid slowing down the main calculation.

If this is called again with the same description the previous created one is returned again. So at most one operator of each type is created for any Node.

◆ find_description()

const Op::Description * Op::find_description	(	const char *	name,
		const Op *	op_
	)

static

Search for an Op::Description that has the given name. Returns the description if found. If it fails, it throws a std::runtime_error which contains the message from plugin_error().

First this searches all the ones that are known about. Then it tries to load a plugin using plugin_load() and sees if that defines the operator.

◆ message_f()

int Op::message_f	(	char	t,
		const char *	format,
			...
	)

static

This function prints a formated message to stdout. If DDImage runs in Nuke in interactive mode, this function will open a modal dialog box instead.

t defines the type of dialog that will appear:
- 'i' will show a message dialog
- '!' will show an alert dialog
- '?' will show a question and return 1 if the user click 'yes', and 0 otherwise

◆ message_vf()

int Op::message_vf	(	char	t,
		const char *	format,
		va_list	va
	)

static

See also: Op::message_f

◆ add_timeout()

void Op::add_timeout	(	float	t,
		TimeoutHandler	toh,
		void *	v = `nullptr`
	)

static

Add a one-shot timeout callback.

The function will be called by Nuke at t seconds after this function is called. The optional void* argument is passed to the callback (you may want to pass this).

The timeout will be called even if the Op is destroyed. If you don't want this to happen, make sure you call remove_timeout in the destructor.

◆ repeat_timeout()

void Op::repeat_timeout	(	float	t,
		TimeoutHandler	toh,
		void *	v = `nullptr`
	)

static

Inside a timeout callback you can call this to add another timeout. Rather than the time being measured from "now", it is measured from when the system call elapsed that caused this timeout to be called. This will result in far more accurate spacing of the timeout callbacks, it also has slightly less system call overhead.

It is undefined what this does if called from outside a timeout callback.

◆ has_timeout()

bool Op::has_timeout	(	TimeoutHandler	toh,
		void *	v = `nullptr`
	)

static

Returns true if the timeout exists and has not been called yet.

◆ remove_timeout()

void Op::remove_timeout	(	TimeoutHandler	toh,
		void *	v = `nullptr`
	)

static

Removes a timeout callback. It is harmless to remove a timeout callback that no longer exists.

◆ doPreValidate()

Op::PrevalidateResult Op::doPreValidate	(	ViewerContext *	ctx = `nullptr`,
		PreValidateContext *	pvc = `nullptr`
	)

protectedvirtual

virtual function that is called by preValidate to do actual work. The base class version calls preValidate() recursively on all inputs. An override of this should either call that and return its return value if non-eFinished, eCancelled if the user actually clicked 'cancel' in a progress bar, or eAbandoned if the tree became obsolete.

Reimplemented in DD::Image::ParticleRender.

◆ node_redraw_cb

void(* Op::node_redraw_cb)(const Op *)=default_redraw

staticdefault

Programs (e.g. Nuke) can set this callback to change what code is called when node_redraw() is called. The default version does nothing.

◆ print_name_cb

void(* Op::print_name_cb)(std::ostream &o, const Op *i)=default_print_name

staticdefault

Programs can set this callback so they can use the node() to print the name of the Op. By default this just prints the Class() of this and all parent() operators.

◆ status_callback

void(* Op::status_callback)(const Op *, float, float, const char *, Op::StatusFlags)

static

Non-Nuke programs may set this pointer to get called when operators call progressFraction() and progressMessage(). This is mostly useful to get Write operators to print a display.

The Op argument is set to the op that status() was called on.

The fraction is passed unchanged.

Total is unused and should be ignored.

The message is the printed message from progressMessage(). This buffered result will be freed when this returns, so you must copy it if you want to keep it.

Flags indicate whether operating in modal mode, and whether doProgressUpdate should be called.

An implementation should show the message (if any) to the user, and use the fraction to update a percent-done indicator. You should avoid expensive operations if the indicator has not changed. Here is a sample:

void status_callback(const Op*, float fraction, float total, const char* t, StatusFlags flags)
{
  static int previous = 0;
  int percent = int(fraction*100+.5);
  if (t)
    printf("\r%s:\033[K", t);
  else if (percent == previous)
    return;
  previous = percent;
  printf("%3d%%\b\b\b\b", percent);
  fflush(stdout);
}
// ...
Op::status_callback = status_callback;
