Public Member Functions

 __init__ (str server_name)
 
str getServerName ()
 Returns the name of the server as passed to the VrpnClient constructor. More...
 
bool isConnected ()
 Returns true if the connection is established successfully, false otherwise. More...
 
bool isValid ()
 Returns true if everything seems to be kosher with the server (even if there is no connection), or false otherwise. More...
 
 write (Ostream out, int indent_level)
 Writes a list of the active devices that the VrpnClient is currently polling each frame. More...
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from ClientBase
bool forkAsynchronousThread (double poll_time)
 Forks a separate thread to do all the polling of connected devices. The forked thread will poll after every poll_time seconds has elapsed. Returns true if the fork was successful, or false otherwise (for instance, because we were already forked, or because asynchronous threads are disabled). More...
 
CoordinateSystem getCoordinateSystem ()
 Returns the coordinate system that all devices associated with this client will operate in. Normally, this is CS_default. More...
 
double getLastPollTime ()
 Returns the time (according to the global ClockObject's get_real_time() method) of the last device poll. More...
 
bool isForked ()
 Returns true if the ClientBase has been forked (and, therefore, poll() does not need to be called), false otherwise. More...
 
bool poll ()
 Initiates a poll of the client devices, if we are not forked and if we have not already polled this frame. Returns true if the poll occurred, or false if it did not. More...
 
 setCoordinateSystem (CoordinateSystem cs)
 Specifies the coordinate system that all devices associated with this client will operate in. Normally, this is CS_default. More...
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from TypedObject
TypeHandle getType ()
 Derived classes should override this function to return get_class_type(). More...
 
int getTypeIndex ()
 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(). More...
 
bool isExactType (TypeHandle handle)
 Returns true if the current object is the indicated type exactly. More...
 
bool isOfType (TypeHandle handle)
 Returns true if the current object is or derives from the indicated type. More...
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from ReferenceCount
int getRefCount ()
 Returns the current reference count. More...
 
 ref ()
 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. More...
 
bool testRefCountIntegrity ()
 Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise. More...
 
bool testRefCountNonzero ()
 Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't zero, or completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise. More...
 
bool unref ()
 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.) However, see the helper function unref_delete(). More...
