# ModelFlattenRequest

from pandac.PandaModules import ModelFlattenRequest

Class : ModelFlattenRequest
Description : This class object manages a single asynchronous request to flatten a model. The model will be duplicated and flattened in a sub-thread (if threading is available), without affecting the original model; and when the result is done it may be retrieved from this object.

## Inheritance:

ModelFlattenRequest: AsyncTask
AsyncTask: TypedReferenceCount Namable
TypedReferenceCount: TypedObject ReferenceCount
TypedObject: MemoryBase

getClassType static TypeHandle ModelFlattenRequest::get_class_type(void); Undocumented function.

getModel PandaNode *ModelFlattenRequest::get_model(void) const; Description: Returns the flattened copy of the model. It is an error to call this unless is_ready() returns true.

getOrig PandaNode *ModelFlattenRequest::get_orig(void) const; Description: Returns the original, unflattened node.

isReady bool ModelFlattenRequest::is_ready(void) const; Description: Returns true if this request has completed, false if it is still pending. When this returns true, you may retrieve the model loaded by calling get_result().

getClassType static TypeHandle AsyncTask::get_class_type(void); Undocumented function.

getDoneEvent string const &AsyncTask::get_done_event(void) const; Description: Returns the event name that will be triggered when the task finishes. See set_done_event().

getPythonObject PyObject *AsyncTask::get_python_object(void) const; Description: Returns the Python object that was specified to set_python_object(), if any, or None if no object was specified.

getState AsyncTask::State AsyncTask::get_state(void) const; Description: Returns the current state of the task.

output virtual void AsyncTask::output(ostream &out) const; HAVE_PYTHON Description:

setDoneEvent void AsyncTask::set_done_event(string const &done_event); Description: Sets the event name that will be triggered when the task finishes. This should only be called before the task has been started, or after it has finished and before it is about to be restarted (i.e. when get_state() returns S_inactive).

setPythonObject void AsyncTask::set_python_object(PyObject *python_object); Description: Specifies an arbitrary Python object that will be piggybacked on the task object.

getClassType static TypeHandle TypedReferenceCount::get_class_type(void); Undocumented function.

getClassType static TypeHandle TypedObject::get_class_type(void); Undocumented function.

getType virtual TypeHandle TypedObject::get_type(void) const = 0; Derived classes should override this function to return get_class_type().

getTypeIndex int TypedObject::get_type_index(void) const; Description: Returns the internal index number associated with this object's TypeHandle, a unique number for each different type. This is equivalent to get_type().get_index().

isExactType bool TypedObject::is_exact_type(TypeHandle handle) const; Description: Returns true if the current object is the indicated type exactly.

isOfType bool TypedObject::is_of_type(TypeHandle handle) const; Description: Returns true if the current object is or derives from the indicated type.

getClassType static TypeHandle ReferenceCount::get_class_type(void); Undocumented function.

getRefCount int ReferenceCount::get_ref_count(void) const; Description: Returns the current reference count.

ref void ReferenceCount::ref(void) const; Description: Explicitly increments the reference count. User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically. This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

testRefCountIntegrity bool ReferenceCount::test_ref_count_integrity(void) const; Description: Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise.

testRefCountNonzero bool ReferenceCount::test_ref_count_nonzero(void) const; Description: Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't zero, or completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise.

unref bool ReferenceCount::unref(void) const; Description: Explicitly decrements the reference count. Note that the object will not be implicitly deleted by unref() simply because the reference count drops to zero. (Having a member function delete itself is problematic; plus, we don't have a virtual destructor anyway.) However, see the helper function unref_delete(). User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically. This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it. The return value is true if the new reference count is nonzero, false if it is zero.

clearName void Namable::clear_name(void); Description: Resets the Namable's name to empty.

getClassType static TypeHandle Namable::get_class_type(void); Undocumented function.

getName string const &Namable::get_name(void) const; Description:

hasName bool Namable::has_name(void) const; Description: Returns true if the Namable has a nonempty name set, false if the name is empty.

operator = Namable &Namable::operator =(Namable const &other); Description:

output void Namable::output(ostream &out) const; In the absence of any definition to the contrary, outputting a Namable will write out its name. Description: Outputs the Namable. This function simply writes the name to the output stream; most Namable derivatives will probably redefine this.

setName void Namable::set_name(string const &name); Description:
