cMeta3dofPointer Class Reference

cMeta3dofPointer connects a generic haptic device as a simple pointer in space. The tool is visually graphically rendered by a small sphere illustrating the tip of the device. The tool tries to connect to a a SensAble device, a ForceDimension device (delta/omega), and a Freedom-6 (in that order); if none are available it loads a virtual haptic device. More...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cMeta3dofPointer::cMeta3dofPointer	(	cWorld *	a_world,
		unsigned int	a_deviceNumber = 0,
		bool	dio_access = false
	)

Constructor of cPhantom3dofPointer.

Constructor of cMeta3dofPointer.

Parameters:

	a_world	World in which the tool will operate.
	a_deviceNumber	0-based index used to try to open a phantom device.
	dio_access	Also used only if the tool ends up being a phantom AND you're running GHOST, not OpenHaptics. If you're not using a Phantom or you're using OpenHaptics, ignore this parameter.

For Ghost, if dio_access is 'true', the tool will use the Ghost API's direct-i/o model, if it's available. Otherwise the gstEffect i/o model will be used.
