OccluderSphere Class

Extends Drawable
Module: AR

An AR.OccluderSphere is, exactly like the AR.Occluder, an object that can be used to occlude other geometry during the rendering process with all the same rendering characteristics. It differs from it in that it does not accept arbitrary geometry as an input though a wt3 file , but represents a predefined volume which can be parameterized. Befitting its name, this predefined volume is a sphere. The intention of this object and related volume occluders is to allow fast prototyping as well as easy occlusion of models which fit the predefined volumes closely.

Example:
this.occluder = new AR.OccluderSphere(1.0, 24, 24, {
    onClick: function() { alert("onClick"); }
});

Methods

destroy

()

Inherited from ARchitectObject

Destroys the object.

Properties

destroyed

Boolean

Inherited from ARchitectObject

Indicates if the object has already been destroyed.

enabled

Boolean

Inherited from Drawable

Flag to enable/disable the Drawable. If the Drawable is disabled, it will never appear on the screen and triggers on this Drawable will never be fired. In case it is enabled, it can be rendered on the screen and fire triggers.

Default: true

mirrored

Boolean

Inherited from Drawable

Flag to enable/disable mirroring for this Drawable. When using the front camera, a mirrored drawable will be rotated 180 degree around its y axis.

Default: true for generic drawables, false for labels and HTMLDrawables

radius

Number

The radius of the occluder sphere. This property is read-only and cannot be modified after creation.

rotate

Object

Inherited from Drawable

Defines the rotation of the Drawable around its center. This property can be used to set the x, y and z components simultaneously in a single call to the native side of the Wikitude SDK for maximum performance. The Object may contain x, y and z or any subset thereof.

rotate.global.x

Number

Inherited from Drawable

Defines a rotation of the Drawable around the x-axis of the target image, specified in degrees. Values will be applied modulo 360. A value of 361 degrees has the same effect as setting the value to 1 degree. All global transformations will be applied after the local transformations.

Default: 0

rotate.global.y

Number

Inherited from Drawable

Defines a rotation of the Drawable around the y-axis of the target image, specified in degrees. Values will be applied modulo 360. A value of 361 degrees has the same effect as setting the value to 1 degree. All global transformations will be applied after the local transformations.

Default: 0

rotate.global.z

Number

Inherited from Drawable

Defines a rotation of the Drawable around the z-axis of the target image, specified in degrees. Values will be applied modulo 360. A value of 361 degrees has the same effect as setting the value to 1 degree. All global transformations will be applied after the local transformations.

Default: 0

rotate.heading

Deprecated: Use rotate.x or rotate.global.x instead.

rotate.x

Number

Inherited from Drawable

Defines a rotation of the Drawable around the x-axis of the Drawable, specified in degrees. Values will be applied modulo 360. A value of 361 degrees has the same effect as setting the value to 1 degree.

Default: 0

rotate.z

Number

Inherited from Drawable

Default: 0

Events

onClick

Inherited from Drawable

When the Drawable is clicked, the system will trigger Drawable.onClick(ARObject). A click on the screen might hit multiple Drawables, thus a click creates a "clicked Drawables-queue", with the uppermost Drawable in the front of the queue. The return value of the function determines if, after the onClick()-Function was executed for this Drawable, the queue shall continue to execute onClick() for the next Drawable in the queue. In case the last Drawable in the queue still requests to continue the click-queue, ARObject.onClick() will be executed. If the queue still continues, context.onScreenClick() will be executed.

The return value of the function determines what happens next. If false, the click-queue should not stop with this Drawable. Thus, the next Drawable's onClick() function will be executed. This is the default value in case no return value is set or the function is not defined for this Drawable. If true, the queue-execution will stop at the current Drawable, underlying Drawables will not receive onClick() calls.

Event Payload:

  • arObject ARObject

    the ARObject the clicked Drawable is attached to.

    The trigger is null by default, and will thus result in no action executed when the trigger fires. A developer can add custom functionality by assigning a custom function to onClick.
