Position Class

A Position is a spatial location within a Viewer.

Overview

A Position provides its coordinates in each of BIMSurfer's five coordinate systems:

  • pos - 3D coordinates within the Position's local Model coordinate system.
  • worldPos - 3D coordinates within the Viewer's current World coordinate system, after transformation by the Position's modelling matrix.
  • viewPos - 3D coordinates within the Viewer's current View coordinate system, after transformation by the Viewer's view matrix.
  • projPos - 3D coordinates within the Viewer's current Projection coordinate system, after transformation by the Viewer's projection matrix.
  • canvasPos - 2D coordinates within the Viewer's current Canvas coordinate system.

Example

// Create a Viewer
var viewer = new BIMSURFER.Viewer({ element: "myDiv" });

// Create a Camera
var camera = new BIMSURFER.Camera(viewer, {
    eye: [20, 20, -20]
});

// Create a CameraControl to interact with the Camera
var cameraControl = new BIMSURFER.CameraControl(viewer, {
   camera: camera
});

// Create a Position
new BIMSURFER.Position(viewer, {
   pos: [0,0,0],
   matrix: BIMSURFER.math.translationMat4v([4, 0,0])
});

Constructor

Position

(
  • [viewer]
  • [cfg]
)

Parameters:

  • [viewer] Viewer optional

    Parent Viewer.

  • [cfg] optional

    Configs

    • [id] String optional

      Optional ID, unique among all components in the parent viewer, generated automatically when omitted.

    • [meta] String:Object optional

      Optional map of user-defined metadata to attach to this Position.

    • [pos] Array of Number optional

      Position's 3D location.

    • [matrix=[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]] Array of Number optional

      Transform matrix - a one-dimensional, sixteen element array of elements, an identity matrix by default.

Methods

destroy

()

Destroys this component.

Removes this Component from its Viewer.

Fires a destroyed event on this Component.

error

(
  • message
)

Logs an error for this component to the JavaScript console.

The console message will have this format: [ERROR] <component id>: <message>

Parameters:

  • message String

    The message to log

fire

(
  • event
  • value
  • [forget=false]
)

Fires an event on this component.

Notifies existing subscribers to the event, retains the event to give to any subsequent notifications on that location as they are made.

Parameters:

  • event String

    The event type name

  • value Object

    The event

  • [forget=false] Boolean optional

    When true, does not retain for subsequent subscribers

log

(
  • message
)

Logs a console debugging message for this component.

The console message will have this format: [LOG] <component id>: <message>

Parameters:

  • message String

    The message to log

off

(
  • handle
)

Cancels an event subscription that was previously made with on or once.

Parameters:

  • handle String

    Subscription handle

on

(
  • event
  • callback
  • [scope=this]
)
String

Subscribes to an event on this component.

The callback is be called with this component as scope.

Parameters:

  • event String

    Publication event

  • callback Function

    Called when fresh data is available at the event

  • [scope=this] Object optional

    Scope for the callback

Returns:

String:

Handle to the subscription, which may be used to unsubscribe with {@link #off}.

once

(
  • event
  • callback
  • [scope=this]
)

Subscribes to the next occurrence of the given event, then un-subscribes as soon as the event is handled.

Parameters:

  • event String

    Data event to listen to

  • callback Function(data)

    Called when fresh data is available at the event

  • [scope=this] Object optional

    Scope for the callback

warn

(
  • message
)

Logs a warning for this component to the JavaScript console.

The console message will have this format: [WARN] <component id>: <message>

Parameters:

  • message String

    The message to log
