Open Inventor - Examples from The Inventor Toolmaker

Chapter 2 - "Creating a Node"


This directory contains source code that illustrates how to create
new Inventor nodes. The examples show how to create a new
property node, a new shape node, and a new group node.

See The Inventor Mentor for an introduction to nodes.

Changes from Inventor 2.0 to 2.1:

Minor changes were made to the Pyramid and Glow classes for
compatibility with Inventor 2.1.  When a change has been made, the
previous code and comments are identified with the comment "//2.0".

Changes in Inventor 10.0:
Massive rework on Pyramid node to avoid using direct OpenGL calls
and to use an internal scenegraph representation.
Adds Torus custom node example, with internal scenegraph implementation
as well, and a geometry dependancy on the complexity element.
