Changelog for SDK v.0.12.0

This release includes various new features across the SDK and fixes of known and reported issues.

Below is the list of the changes in SAMSON SDK per library and per class.

Inspector

Added the possibility to expose SBColor and SBColorPalette types in the inspector using SB_ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLY and SB_ATTRIBUTE_READ_WRITE.

Facade library group

SAMSON

New functions:

• SAMSON::minimize
• SAMSON::getColorPaletteFromUser
• SAMSON::getCurrentSelectionFilter, SAMSON::setCurrentSelectionFilter

Functions with updated signatures: SAMSON::displayTexturedTriangles, SAMSON::displayTexturedTrianglesSelection, SAMSON::displayTriangles, SAMSON::displayTrianglesSelection. Now this functions input also includes a scale, a SBSpatialTransform, and other additional parameters.

DataModel library group

SBDDataGraph library

A major change: for generalization, the node's name attribute has been moved to SBNode from its child classes that had this attribute. This change affects many child classes across the SDK, e.g.: SBNodeGroup, SBDController, SBCamera, SBFolder, SBLabel, SBMModel, SBSSimulator, SBStructuralGroup, SBPath, etc.

SBNode

New functions:

• SBNode::getName, SBNode::setName
• SBNode::getTypeString
• SBNode::getHierarchyString
• SBNode::isMesh.

A new node type: SBNode::Mesh.

SBDQuantity library

New functionality: fromLinearInterpolation.

SBDType library

SBDTypeColorConversion

New functions: SBDTypeColorConversion::toHSV (SBDTypeColorConversion::HSVfromSRGB), SBDTypeColorConversion::fromHSV (SBDTypeColorConversion::SRGBfromHSV).

SBDTypeConstant

New functionality: SBDTypeConstant::getDegreesFromRadians.

SBDTypeSpatialTransform

Now the SBDTypeSpatialTransform::computeOpenGLMatrix function is available for single-precision floating-point numbers for faster rendering.

SBDColor library

New color palettes in SBDColorPaletteDefaultPalette.

A new function in SBDColorSchemePer* classes: getDefaultColorPalette.

Modeling library group

Structural Model library

SBResidue

New functionality:

• SBResidue::addHydrogensByResidueType
• SBResidue::getAminoAcidOneLetterCode
• SBResidue::getResidueTypeFromString
• Backbone dihedral angles: SBResidue::computePhiAngle, SBResidue::computePsiAngle
• Side chain dihedral angles: SBResidue::orientAminoAcidSideChain, SBResidue::hasAminoAcidChi1Angle, SBResidue::hasAminoAcidChi2Angle, SBResidue::hasAminoAcidChi3Angle, SBResidue::hasAminoAcidChi4Angle, SBResidue::hasAminoAcidChi5Angle, SBResidue::computeAminoAcidChi1Angle, SBResidue::computeAminoAcidChi2Angle, SBResidue::computeAminoAcidChi3Angle, SBResidue::computeAminoAcidChi4Angle, SBResidue::computeAminoAcidChi5Angle

SBSideChain

New functionality:

• SBSideChain::getBetaCarbon, SBSideChain::getGammaAtom, SBSideChain::getDeltaAtom, SBSideChain::getEpsilonAtom, SBSideChain::getZetaAtom, SBSideChain::getEtaAtom

SBAtom

New functionality: SBAtom::isDonorborneHydrogen

SBStructuralParticle

New functionality: SBStructuralParticle::setPositionOnTetrahedron

Visual Model library

New classes:

• SBMVisualModelSurface - a base class that describes a visual model surface.
• SBMVisualModelMesh - this class describes a mesh, i.e. a group of surfaces.

Note that this functionality is in the beta stage and might have issues on some systems.

New event types in SBMVisualModelEvent : SBMVisualModelEvent::ScaleChanged, SBMVisualModelEvent::TransformChanged, SBMVisualModelEvent::OpacityChanged, SBMVisualModelEvent::DiffuseColorSaturationChanged.
