## Implemented Interfaces

OrientationChooser implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

## Signals

## Description

This widget is a GtkDialog window that can be used to choose an orientation for the camera, using either the cartesian coordinates, the box coordinates or the spherical coordinates.

## Details

### OrientationChooser

    typedef struct _OrientationChooser OrientationChooser;

Short form for a OrientationChooser_struct structure.

### enum OrientationChooserKind

    typedef enum
      {
        orientationChooser_direction,
        orientationChooser_normal
      } OrientationChooserKind;

These values are used when creating an OrientationChooser, to specify the behavior of the box coordinates. This is due to the fact that the box coordinates are not always orthoggonal.

`orientationChooser_direction` | this flag specifies that the box coordinates are used to identity a direction ;
`orientationChooser_normal` | this flag specifies that the box coordinates are used to identify a normal direction.

### orientationChooserNew ()

    GtkWidget*          orientationChooserNew               (OrientationChooserKind kind,
                                                             gboolean liveUpdate,
                                                             VisuData *data,
                                                             GtkWindow *parent);

Create a dialog box with three choices to choose a direction in space: the classical orthogonal basis set, the spherical one or the basis set linked to the box. If the `data` argument is NULL, this last possibility is made unsensitive. If the kind is set to orientationChooser_direction, the orthogonal coordinates correspond exactly to the box coordinates (after transformation) ; whereas `kind` is orientationChooser_normal, the cartesian coordinates are those which give the right normal plane to the direction given in the box coordinates.

`kind` : | to set the box coordinates behavior ;
`liveUpdate` : | raise "values-changed" when a value is changed ;
`data` : | the associated VisuData to get the box definition (can be NULL) ;
`parent` : | give the parent window to set the modal status and the position.
Returns : | a newly created object.

### orientationChooserGet_anglesValues ()

    void                orientationChooserGet_anglesValues  (OrientationChooser *orientation,
                                                             float values[2]);

Get the current orientation in the spherical basis set.

`values` : | a location for two floating point values.

### orientationChooserGet_boxValues ()

    void                orientationChooserGet_boxValues     (OrientationChooser *orientation,
                                                             float values[3]);

Get the current orientation in the box basis set.

`values` : | a location for three floating point values.

### orientationChooserGet_orthoValues ()

    void                orientationChooserGet_orthoValues   (OrientationChooser *orientation,
                                                             float values[3]);

Get the current orientation in the orthogonal basis set.

`orientation` : | a OrientationChooser widget ;
`values` : | a location for three floating point values.

### orientationChooserSet_anglesValues ()

    void                orientationChooserSet_anglesValues  (OrientationChooser *orientation,
                                                             float values[2]);

Change the direction using the one given in a spherical basis set. Update all other values accordingly.

`orientation` : | a OrientationChooser widget ;
`values` : | two floating point values.

### orientationChooserSet_boxValues ()

    void                orientationChooserSet_boxValues     (OrientationChooser *orientation,
                                                             float values[3]);

Change the direction using the one given in the box basis set. Update all other values accordingly.

`orientation` : | a OrientationChooser widget ;
`values` : | three floating point values.

### orientationChooserSet_orthoValues ()

    void                orientationChooserSet_orthoValues   (OrientationChooser *orientation,
                                                             float values[3]);

Change the direction using the one given in an orthogonal basis set. Update all other values accordingly.

`orientation` : | a OrientationChooser widget ;

## Signal Details

### The `"values-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (OrientationChooser *chooser,
                                                            gpointer            user_data)      : Run First / Action

This signal is emitted when the values are changed and when the live update checkbox is active.

`chooser` : | the OrientationChooser that emits the signal.
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
