SMTK’s existing widgets are listed below with instructions for their use.

Point

The pqSMTKPointItemWidget can be attached to an SMTK Double item with 3 entries: the x, y, and z coordinates of a point in world coordinates. When the widget is in its fully enabled state, the ‘P’ and ‘Ctrl+P’ (or ‘Cmd+P’ on macos) keys may be used to pick point placement in the render window (on any fully-opaque surface underneath the mouse pointer when the key is pressed). The latter version will choose the nearest vertex in the dataset rather than the point on the pixel directly under the pointer.

Line

The pqSMTKLineItemWidget can be attached to an SMTK Group item 2 Double children holding 3 values each. Each Double item specifies one line endpoint’s coordinates. In the item’s view configuration, specify Point1 and Point2 attributes naming the names of the Group’s children that represent these points.

Plane

The pqSMTKPlaneItemWidget can be attached to an SMTK Group item with 2 Double children holding 3 values each: one specifying an Origin point and the other specifying a Normal vector.

Box

The pqSMTKBoxItemWidget can be attached to an SMTK Double item with 6 entries in the order (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmaz). It can also be attached to a group with Min, Max, and optionally Angles items representing two corner points in space and a set of 3 Tait-Bryan rotation angles. Finally, the box widget also accepts a group containing a Center, Deltas, and optionally Angles items representing the box centroid, lengths along 3 orthogonal axes from the center to each face of the box, and rotation angles as above.

Cone (and Cylinder)

The pqSMTKConeItemWidget can be attached to an SMTK Group holding two Double items, each with 3 values, representing the bottom and top points of a truncated cone; plus two more Double items, each with a single value representing the radius at each point. Alternately, a single radius Double item may be provided to accept only cylinders.

Sphere

The pqSMTKSphereItemWidget can be attached to an SMTK Group holding a Double item with 3 values representing the Center of a sphere and another Double item with a single value representing the Radius.

Spline

The pqSMTKSplineItemWidget may represent a polyline or a cardinal spline, depending on whether its View configuration has a Polyline attribute set to true or not. The widget must be attached to an SMTK Group holding a Double item with 6 or more values representing the 3-D coordinates of handle points and an Int item interpreted as a boolean that indicates whether the curve should be a closed loop or an open segment.
