QNode::QNode(Qt3DCore::QNode *parent = nullptr)

Creates a new QNode instance with parent parent.

Note: The backend aspects will be notified that a QNode instance is part of the scene only if it has a parent; unless this is the root node of the Qt3D scene.

See also setParent().

[signal] void QNode::nodeDestroyed()

Emitted when the node is destroyed.

bool QNode::blockNotifications(bool block)

If block is true, property change notifications sent by this object to aspects are blocked. If block is false, no such blocking will occur.

The return value is the previous value of notificationsBlocked().

Note that the other notification types will be sent even if the notifications for this object have been blocked.

See also notificationsBlocked().

Qt3DCore::QNodeVector QNode::childNodes() const

Returns a list filled with the QNode children of the current QNode instance.

void QNode::clearPropertyTracking(const QString &propertyName)

Clears the tracking property called propertyName.

void QNode::clearPropertyTrackings()

Erases all values that have been saved by the property tracking.

Qt3DCore::QNode::PropertyTrackingMode QNode::defaultPropertyTrackingMode() const

Returns the default property tracking mode which determines whether a QNode should be listening for property updates.

Note: Getter function for property defaultPropertyTrackingMode.

See also setDefaultPropertyTrackingMode().

Qt3DCore::QNodeId QNode::id() const

Returns the id that uniquely identifies the QNode instance.

bool QNode::notificationsBlocked() const

Returns true if aspect notifications are blocked; otherwise returns false. By default, notifications are not blocked.

See also blockNotifications().

[protected] void QNode::notifyObservers(const Qt3DCore::QSceneChangePtr &change)

Sends the change QSceneChangePtr to any QBackendNodes in the registered aspects that correspond to this QNode.

You only need to call this function if you wish to send a specific type of change in place of the automatic handling.

Note: as of Qt 5.14, change messages are deprecated and should not be used, in particular for properties.

Qt3DCore::QNode::PropertyTrackingMode QNode::propertyTracking(const QString &propertyName) const

Returns the tracking mode of propertyName.

See also setPropertyTracking().

[virtual protected] void QNode::sceneChangeEvent(const Qt3DCore::QSceneChangePtr &change)

Called when one or more backend aspects sends a notification change to the current Qt3DCore::QNode instance.

Note: This method should be reimplemented in your subclasses to properly handle the change.

QNodeCommand::CommandId QNode::sendCommand(const QString &name, const QVariant &data = QVariant(), QNodeCommand::CommandId replyTo = QNodeCommand::CommandId())

Sends a command message to the backend node

Creates a QNodeCommand message and dispatches it to the backend node. The command is given and a name and some data which can be used in the backend node to perform various operations. This returns a CommandId which can be used to identify the initial command when receiving a message in reply. If the command message is to be sent in reply to another command, replyTo contains the id of that command.

See also QNodeCommand and QNode::sendReply.

void QNode::sendReply(const Qt3DCore::QNodeCommandPtr &command)

Send a command back to the backend node.

Assumes the command is to be to sent back in reply to itself to the backend node.

See also QNodeCommand and QNode::sendCommand.

void QNode::setPropertyTracking(const QString &propertyName, Qt3DCore::QNode::PropertyTrackingMode trackMode)

Sets the property tracking for propertyName and trackMode.

See also propertyTracking().
