[IGSTK-Users] Scene Graph Visualization Names

[Jake McIvor]

Good Afternoon IGSTK Users,

I have found the Scene Graph Visualization utility incredibly useful.
I wanted to suggest an improvement and get people's feedback.

Currently, the coordinate system's name is set on the spatial object's
class name and pointer when the object is constructed, and updated
each time a call is made to RequestSetTransformAndParent.  A simple
improvement would be to add a public method to the
CoordinateSystemInterfaceMacros

void RequestSetCoordinateSystemName(const char* coordinateSystemName)
{
  m_CoordinateSystemDelegator->SetName(coordinateSystemName);
}

and remove the name update from the RequestSetTransformAndParent
method.  The end result is the option to manually set the coordinate
system names to make the Scene Graph easier to read.


Thoughts?


-Jake
