VuoNodeClass Class Reference

Description

This base class represents the metadata and implementation of one node class — i.e., for each node implementation file, there is one instance of VuoNodeClass.

To instantiate a node implemented by this node class, create an instance of VuoNode using VuoNodeClass::newNode or VuoCompilerNodeClass::newNode.

		VuoPortClass *	receptorClass,
		vector< VuoPortClass * >	inputPortClasses,
		vector< VuoPortClass * >	outputPortClasses
	)

Member Function Documentation

string VuoNodeClass::getClassName

(

void

)

The unique class name for this node class.

Matches the .bc filename, minus the extension.

Possible characters: [A-Za-z0-9.]

Example:

vuo.math.lessThan.i64 

bool VuoNodeClass::isAlwaysConductive

(

void

)

If true, instances of this node class are guaranteed to conduct all input pushes to all output ports, except Generator ports.

If false, input pushes are conducted at the discretion of the node class implementation.

nodeAlwaysConducts

bool VuoNodeClass::isConsumer

(

void

)

If true, this node class consumes data from the graph, sending it somewhere external to the graph (e.g., output device, file, network).

nodeConsumes

bool VuoNodeClass::isProvider

(

void

)

If true, this node class provides data to the graph from somewhere external to the graph (e.g., input device, file, network).

nodeProvides

VuoNode * VuoNodeClass::newNode	(	string	displayName = "",

The node by this method does not include a VuoCompilerNode. If you want to create a substantial node instance, use VuoCompilerNodeClass::newNode instead.

void VuoNodeClass::setAlwaysConductive

(

bool

isAlwaysConductive

)

Sets whether this node always conducts.

void VuoNodeClass::setConsumer

(

bool

isConsumer

)

void VuoNodeClass::setProvider

(

bool

isProvider

)

Sets whether this node class is a provider.
