For other [Open] Inventor "haunts", See Also:
• Inventor Documentation directory
• Open Inventor Course source subtree
• Inventor FAQ in toolbox/FAQs/SGIfaqs/Inventor-faq

• DirectManipRevoSurf/:
  a demo using its own Dynamic Shared Object, RevoSurfEngine.so (with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to `.'), that implements draggers for direct manipulation of a surface of revolution.

• DirectManipTrackLight/:
  contains inventor files with an interactive track light.

• SpaceballViewer/:
  modified src from inventor_dev.src.sample handles the Spaceball input device.

• inventorTemplates/: [oi]
  contains two example "template" programs for a Walk Viewer and a Player.

• inventorTemplates1.1.2/:
  contains additional Inventor Nodes--Audio and Highlight--and audio and Inventor Classes--Play and Record, and Inventor Spline;

  ivIndpTri/: [oi]

  A tesselation utility for Inventor scene graphs which implements an Independent Triangle Class.

• ivcalc/: [oi]
  full function infix calculator. In default operation, ivcalc comes up as a simple four function calculator. Pressing the SGI button expands ivcalc into a full function scientific calculator.

• models/:
  Sample OpenInventor files demonstrating the use of draggers and engines in "self-manipulating" examples. In these examples the "translation" field of a dragger is used as input to various engines, which in turn update nodes' field values.

• noodle/: [oi]
  an easy-to-use 3D object-modeler rich in using Open Inventor; with noodle you can sweep a curve thru space, then bend it, twist it and taper it. noodle was used to create most of the shapes used in the color plates of the Inventor Mentor Book.

• OpenInventorLab/: [oi]
  contains a hands-on lab + solutions for Open Inventor 2.0 + a 38-page showcse document on the Open Inventor 3d Toolkit.

• sharedSV/:
  an extension of the stock SceneViewer enabling 2 or more people on the net to access the same input file simultaneously and immediately see each other's changes. A 3D supplement to InPerson's Video Conferencing and Media board.

• soundspheres/: [oi]
  Open Inventor-version of a very primitive spacial audio program.

• http://www.sgi.com/Technology/Inventor:
  Inventor web site contains information on/links to WebSpace, VRML, Open Inventor 2.1, FAQ + Known Bugs, Fixes, and Workarounds, information.

demos/README:
=============
This directory contains the Open Inventor demo programs:

SceneViewer - Inventor 3D viewer and editor (see also ivview)
drop        - 3d tetris-like game
gview       - Views and edits an Inventor database as a directed-graph
maze        - 3d labrynth game
qmorf       - Interesting demo that interpolates between textured quad meshes
revo        - Surface of revolution program; creates a curve manipulator/editor
textomatic  - 3D text modeling program

These programs are distributed in source format to the Inventor customers.
Each subdirectory contains the source code and include files needed to
make the program.

Note that you need superuser permissions to build or modify the installed
demo programs.  Alternatively, you can copy the programs that interest you
into your local directory.




examples/README:
================
Open Inventor - Source Examples from the Inventor books

This directory contains source code examples from the Open Inventor books.

The examples from The Inventor Mentor are in C++ and C.
The examples from The Inventor Toolmaker are in C++ only (for obvious reasons).

    ./Mentor/C++ - contains the C++ examples from The Inventor Mentor
    ./Mentor/C   - contains the C examples from The Inventor Mentor
    ./Toolmaker  - contains the examples from The Inventor Toolmaker

See the README files in each directory more info.

Note that you need superuser permissions to build or modify the installed
example programs.  Alternatively, you can copy the programs that interest you
into your local directory.




samples/README:
===============
This directory contains the Open Inventor sample programs.
These programs are distributed in source format to the Inventor
customers.  Many of these programs are simple and sloppy,
but show some interesting aspect of Inventor.

Each subdirectory contains the source code and include files needed to
make the program.  Note that you need superuser permissions to build or
modify the installed sample programs.  Alternatively, you can copy the
programs that interest you into your local directory.


The sample programs include:

4view       - Displays four views of a scene graph - together in one
              Motif widget.
ViewKit     - Shows how Inventor and ViewKit can be used together
clock       - simple Inventor clock program
common      - Contains some common functions used by other samples
earth       - a fun earth with cities demo

              classes (e.g., Link and Crank) that contain draggers as parts.
lod         - Demonstrates how to use the level-of-detail node.
manip       - Shows how all of the manipulators work
motif       - Demonstrates how to build Motif pulldown menus
soundPick   - Demonstrates how to use playback of sound files w/ Inventor
spaceball   - Demonstrates how to integrate a spaceball into Inventor
twoDisplays - Demonstrates how to show Inventor components on different X
              displays.
viewers     - Source code of the SoXtExaminerViewer and parent classes
vortex      - explodes any object - demonstrates the SoCallbackAction's 2.0
              "get primitives" feature
widgets     - contains the following new Xt components (not part of 2.0 API):
              simple material editor, material palette and texture editor.
              Also constains the source code to the following obsolete
              1.0 components: color editor/slider/wheel and thumbwheel.




tools/README:
=============
This directory contains the source code for the Open Inventor tools:

ivcat      - Converts between binary and ASCII Inventor formats.
ivinfo     - Prints out information on an Inventor file.
ivquicken  - Restructures an Inventor scene for improved rendering performance.
ivview     - A simple viewer for quickly viewing Inventor files.
ivToInclude- Tools for turning Inventor scene files into buffer variables
                in include files that can be compiled into a program.

Each subdirectory contains the source code and include files needed to
make the program.

Note that you need superuser permissions to build or modify the installed
demo programs.  Alternatively, you can copy the programs that interest you
into your local directory.
