Detailed Description
Manages controller auto-tangent related options.
This interface class allows for querying controllers for their auto-tangent support and the auto-tangent algorithm they use. 3ds Max 2012 introduces an improved auto tangent algorithm which is consistent with the ones used in other Autodesk products. IAutoTangentMan allows to determine whether or not the legacy or the new auto tangent algorithm is used by 3ds Max controllers that implement support for auto tangents, such as the Bezier float and Bezier point3 controllers. Client code can get access to IAutoTangentMan using the following code:
static_cast<IAutoTangentMan*>( GetCOREInterface(IAUTOTANGENTMAN_INTERFACE ) );
#include <IAutoTangentMan.h>

Member Function Documentation
| virtual bool SupportsAutoTangent | ( | Control * | controller | ) | const [pure virtual] |
Returns whether a particular controller supports auto-tangents.
- Parameters:
-
[in] controller The controller to check
- Returns:
- Returns true if the controller supports auto-tangents, for example a Bezier controller.
| virtual AutoTangentAlgorithm GetAutoTangentAlgorithm | ( | Control * | controller | ) | const [pure virtual] |
Gets the auto-tangent algorithm used by a given controller.
- Parameters:
-
[in] controller The controller to query
- Returns:
- Returns the auto-tangent algorithm being used. If the controller doesn't support auto tangents then eNotSupported is returned.
| virtual void SetAutoTangentAlgorithm | ( | AutoTangentAlgorithm | algorithm, |
| Tab< Control * > & | controllers | ||
| ) | [pure virtual] |
Sets the auto-tangent algorithm to be used by a given controllers.
- Parameters:
-
[in] controllers The list of controllers. [in] algorithm The auto-tangent algorithm to set. eNotSuported is not a valid input. Note that if the controller doesn't support the auto tangent algorithm, no algorithm is set on that controller, effectively setting its type as eNotSupported.
| virtual AutoTangentAlgorithm GetDefaultControllerAutoTangentAlgorithm | ( | ) | const [pure virtual] |
Gets the default auto-tangent algorithm that will be used when new controllers that support auto tangents are created.
- Returns:
- Returns the default auto-tangent algorithm.
| virtual void SetDefaultControllerAutoTangentAlgorithm | ( | AutoTangentAlgorithm | algorithm | ) | [pure virtual] |
Sets the default auto-tangent algorithm that will be used when new controllers that support auto tangents are created.
- Parameters:
-
[in] algorithm The default auto-tangent algorithm to be used. eNotSupported is not a valid input.
