## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Billboard::Billboard | ( |  | ) |

Billboard::Billboard | ( | const Billboard & | ,
|  | const CopyOp & | copyop = `CopyOp::SHALLOW_COPY`
| ) |

| Copy constructor using CopyOp to manage deep vs shallow copy.

Billboard::~Billboard | ( |  | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

## Member Function Documentation

bool Billboard::addDrawable | ( | Drawable * | gset,
|  | const Vec3 & | pos
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Add a Drawable with a specified position. Call the base-class Geode::addDrawble() to add the given Drawable gset as a child. If Geode::addDrawable() returns true, add the given position pos to the pivot point position list and return true. Otherwise, return false.

bool Billboard::addDrawable | ( | Drawable * | gset | ) | `[virtual]`

| Add a Drawable with a default position of Vec3(0,0,0). Call the base-class Geode::addDrawble() to add the given Drawable gset as a child. If Geode::addDrawable() returns true, add the default position to the pivot point position list and return true. Otherwise, return false. Reimplemented from osg::Geode.

bool Billboard::computeBound | ( |  | ) | const`[protected, virtual]`

| Compute the bounding sphere around Node's geometry or children. This method is automatically called by getBound() when the bounding sphere has been marked dirty via dirtyBound(). Reimplemented from osg::Geode.

bool Billboard::computeMatrix | ( | Matrix & | modelview,
|  | const Vec3 & | eye_local,
|  | const Vec3 & | pos_local
| ) | const

const Vec3& osg::Billboard::getAxis | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Get the rotation axis.

Mode osg::Billboard::getMode | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Get the billboard rotation mode.

const Vec3& osg::Billboard::getNormal | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Get the front face direction normal.

const Vec3& osg::Billboard::getPosition | ( | unsigned int | i | ) | const`[inline]`

| Get the specified child Drawable's position.

const PositionList& osg::Billboard::getPositionList | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Get a const list of pivot point positions.

PositionList& osg::Billboard::getPositionList | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

| Get the list of pivot point positions.

osg::Billboard::META_Node | ( | osg | ,
|  | Billboard |
| ) |

bool Billboard::removeDrawable | ( | Drawable * | gset | ) | `[virtual]`

| Remove a Drawable and its associated position. If gset is a child, remove it, decrement its reference count, remove its pivot point position. and return true. Otherwise, return false. Reimplemented from osg::Geode.

void Billboard::setAxis | ( | const Vec3 & | axis | ) |

| Set the rotation axis for the billboard's child Drawables. Only utlized when mode==AXIAL_ROT.

void osg::Billboard::setMode | ( | Mode | mode | ) |

| Set the billboard rotation mode.

void Billboard::setNormal | ( | const Vec3 & | normal | ) |

| This normal defines child Drawables' front face direction when unrotated.

void osg::Billboard::setPosition | ( | unsigned int | i,
|  | const Vec3 & | pos
| ) | `[inline]`

| Set the specified child Drawable's position.

void Billboard::updateCache | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`
