Controlling Generation

The following functions allows controlling if a node is currently generating data or not.

XN_C_API XnStatus xnStartGenerating (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Starts generation of the output. This will also cause all dependencies to start generating.
XN_C_API XnBool xnIsGenerating (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Checks if this node is currently generating.
XN_C_API XnStatus xnStopGenerating (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Stops generation of the output.
XN_C_API XnStatus xnRegisterToGenerationRunningChange (XnNodeHandle hInstance, XnStateChangedHandler handler, void *pCookie, XnCallbackHandle *phCallback)
 Registers a callback function to be called when generation starts or stops.
XN_C_API void xnUnregisterFromGenerationRunningChange (XnNodeHandle hInstance, XnCallbackHandle hCallback)
 Unregisters a callback function which was registered using xnRegisterToGenerationRunningChange().

Checking if new data is available

The following functions allows an application to know if and when a node has new data available. When new data is available, the node data is still not replaced, until explicitly done so using one of the update data functions.

XN_C_API XnStatus xnRegisterToNewDataAvailable (XnNodeHandle hInstance, XnStateChangedHandler handler, void *pCookie, XnCallbackHandle *phCallback)
 Registers a callback function to be called when new data is available.
XN_C_API void xnUnregisterFromNewDataAvailable (XnNodeHandle hInstance, XnCallbackHandle hCallback)
 Unregisters a callback function which was registered using xnRegisterToNewDataAvailable().
XN_C_API XnBool xnIsNewDataAvailable (XnNodeHandle hInstance, XnUInt64 *pnTimestamp)
 Checks whether this node has new data (and so a call to xnWaitAndUpdateData() will not block).

Getting new data

XN_C_API XnStatus xnWaitAndUpdateData (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Updates the data to the latest available one. If needed, the call will block until new data is available.

Data properties

XN_C_API XnBool xnIsDataNew (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Checks whether current data is new. Meaning, did the data change on the last call to xnWaitAndUpdateAll(), xnWaitOneUpdateAll() or xnWaitAndUpdateData().
XN_C_API XnUInt32 xnGetDataSize (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Gets the size of current data, in bytes.
XN_C_API XnUInt64 xnGetTimestamp (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Gets the timestamp of current data, in microseconds.
XN_C_API XnUInt32 xnGetFrameID (XnNodeHandle hInstance)
 Gets the frame ID of current data.

Detailed Description

A Generator node is a production node that also generates continuous data. It supports all Production Node functions, and adds additional functions.


Function Documentation

Gets the size of current data, in bytes.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
Returns:
(XnUInt32)-1 if this production node is not a generator.

Gets the frame ID of current data.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
Returns:
(XnUInt32)-1 if this production node is not a generator.

Gets the timestamp of current data, in microseconds.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
Returns:
(XnUInt64)-1 if this production node is not a generator.

Checks whether current data is new. Meaning, did the data change on the last call to xnWaitAndUpdateAll(), xnWaitOneUpdateAll() or xnWaitAndUpdateData().

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.

Checks if this node is currently generating.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
Returns:
FALSE if this production node is not a generator.
XN_C_API XnBool xnIsNewDataAvailable ( XnNodeHandle  hInstance,
XnUInt64 pnTimestamp 
)

Checks whether this node has new data (and so a call to xnWaitAndUpdateData() will not block).

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
pnTimestamp[out] [Optional] If not NULL, will be filled with that data timestamp.

Registers a callback function to be called when generation starts or stops.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
handler[in] A pointer to a function that will be called when generation starts/stops.
pCookie[in] A user cookie that will be passed to the callback function.
phCallback[out] Optional. Will be filled with a handle to be passed to xnUnregisterFromGenerationRunningChange().
XN_C_API XnStatus xnRegisterToNewDataAvailable ( XnNodeHandle  hInstance,
XnStateChangedHandler  handler,
void pCookie,
XnCallbackHandle phCallback 
)

Registers a callback function to be called when new data is available.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
handler[in] A pointer to a function that will be called when new data is available.
pCookie[in] A user cookie that will be passed to the callback function.
phCallback[out] Optional. Will be filled with a handle to be passed to xnUnregisterFromNewDataAvailable().

Starts generation of the output. This will also cause all dependencies to start generating.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance to start generating.
Returns:
XN_STATUS_INVALID_OPERATION if this production node is not a generator.

Stops generation of the output.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance to stop generating.
Returns:
XN_STATUS_INVALID_OPERATION if this production node is not a generator.

Unregisters a callback function which was registered using xnRegisterToGenerationRunningChange().

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
hCallback[in] The handle to the callback returned from xnRegisterToGenerationRunningChange().

Unregisters a callback function which was registered using xnRegisterToNewDataAvailable().

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance.
hCallback[in] The handle to the callback returned from xnRegisterToNewDataAvailable().

Updates the data to the latest available one. If needed, the call will block until new data is available.

Parameters:
hInstance[in] A handle to the instance to be updated.
Returns:
XN_STATUS_INVALID_OPERATION if this production node is not a generator.
