Simple Translation Interactor

A simple interactor for moving OpenGLComponents along th X,Y plane.

SimpleTranslationInteractor is a subclass of Interactor.

Example Usage

The following example shows four SimpleCubes which can be moved by dragging your mouse over them:

o1 = SimpleCube(position=(6, 0,-30), size=(1,1,1)).activate()
i1 = SimpleTranslationInteractor(target=o1).activate()

o2 = SimpleCube(position=(0, 0,-20), size=(1,1,1)).activate()
i2 = SimpleTranslationInteractor(target=o2).activate()

o3 = SimpleCube(position=(-3, 0,-10), size=(1,1,1)).activate()
i3 = SimpleTranslationInteractor(target=o3).activate()

o4 = SimpleCube(position=(15, 0,-40), size=(1,1,1)).activate()
i4 = SimpleTranslationInteractor(target=o4).activate()

How does it work?

SimpleTranslationInteractor is a subclass of Interactor (for Interactor functionality see its documentation). It overrides the __init__(), setup() and handleEvents() methods.

The amount of movement is determined using the relative 2d movement which is included in every mouse event and multiplying it by a factor. This factor must be specified on creation of the component.
