Summary0025560: Documentation - describe changes in AIS_InteractiveConnect and AIS_MultipleConnected introduced within 6.8.0
Description(Tracker per the respective post on the forum https://dev.opencascade.org/index.php?q=node/1019)


Version 6.8.0 apparently introduced some signficant change about how the IO's can be connected.
The former use case as explained in my blog post (http://opencascade.blogspot.ru/2013/11/ais-connecting-objects.html) has been broken.
In particular an exception is currently thrown in ConnectedInteractive:

void AIS_ConnectedInteractive::Connect (const Handle(AIS_InteractiveObject)& theAnotherObj)
{...
  else
  {
    Standard_ProgramError::Raise ("AIS_ConnectedInteractive::Connect() - object without own presentation can not be connected");
  }
}

The change seems to be introduced in #25371 (http://tracker.dev.opencascade.org/view.php?id=25371), to which access is denied for
community members to get further details.

The use case as explained in the above blog post is to create a hierarchy of AIS_IO's via connection of CI and MC. Here is
an excerpt as pseudo-code:

Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject CreateIO (const SceneGraphElement& e)
{
    Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject r;
    if (e is a Part (i.e. leaf of scene graph)) {
        r = create_concrete_interativeobject();
    } else if (e is Instance) {
        Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject ref_r = CreateIO (e->reference); //recursion
        Handle_AIS_ConnectedInteractive i = new AIS_ConnectedInteractive;
        i->Connect (ref_r, location);
        r = i;
    } else if (e is assembly) {
        Handle_AIS_MultipleConnected m = new AIS_MultipleConnected;
        for (all childs in assembly) {
            Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject c = CreateIO (child_i); //recursion
            m->Connect (c);
        }
        r = m;
    }
    return r;
}

Thus, there never exists a presentation for any IO which gets connected and any interim IO will ever be displayed itself.

Neither the Release Notes nor the Visualization User's Guide invalidate the formerly valid and working use case. So please do
restore the possibility existed before and meanwhile please advise on a proper work-around.
Steps To ReproduceNA
Additional information
and documentation updates		The only correction needed is related to Visualization User's Guide: it should be extended by a chapter describing the new design of connected interactive objects and the rules of their usage.

Dear Roman,

could you please describe in more detail exactly the use case that is no more working for you? Probably simple draw command would be sufficient to address your problem.

From current description I can not find the statement that was not documented.

Dear Kirill,

Please find the reproducer below, made with the help of shape structure.
Apparently the exception gets raised on the combination of ConnectedInteractive referring to the MultipleConnectedInteractive. The method ::Connect() checks HasOwnRepresentations() which is set to false for MC.


static Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject CreateAIS (const TopoDS_Shape& theShape)
{
    Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject r;
    if (theShape.IsNull ())
        return r;

    const TopLoc_Location& aLoc = theShape.Location ();
    if (!aLoc.IsIdentity ()) { //instance
        Handle_AIS_ConnectedInteractive aCon = new AIS_ConnectedInteractive;
        TopoDS_Shape aRef = theShape.Located (TopLoc_Location ());
        Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject aRefAIS = CreateAIS (aRef);
        if (!aRefAIS.IsNull ()) {
            aCon->Connect (aRefAIS, aLoc);
        }
        r = aCon;
    } else if (theShape.ShapeType () == TopAbs_COMPOUND) { //assembly
        Handle_AIS_MultipleConnectedInteractive aM = new AIS_MultipleConnectedInteractive;
        for (TopoDS_Iterator i (theShape); i.More (); i.Next ()) {
            Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject aChildAIS = CreateAIS (i.Value ());
            if (!aChildAIS.IsNull ())
                aM->Connect (aChildAIS);
        }
        r = aM;
    } else { //part
        r = new AIS_Shape (theShape);
    }
    return r;
}

static void Test ()
{
    TopoDS_Vertex aV = BRepBuilderAPI_MakeVertex (gp_Pnt (0., 0., 0.));
    gp_Trsf aT;
    aT.SetTranslation (gp_Vec (1, 2, 3));
    TopoDS_Compound aC;
    BRep_Builder aB;
    aB.MakeCompound (aC);
    aB.Add (aC, aV.Located (TopLoc_Location (aT)));
    Handle_AIS_InteractiveObject anAIS = CreateAIS (aC.Located (aT));
}

Could you please review the implementation of your new text in Visualization manual.
I'd suggest explaining what each example shows.

 Branch CR25560_1 reviewed with the following remarks:

+The calculation of selection primitives (or sensitive entities) is done by the intermediary of a virtual function


Why not simply say "...is done in a virtual function..."?

+*      Instances project the selection (or to remove the hidden lines) based on the current view.


Is this statement relevant here? Anyway, instances do not "project the selection" as the selection algorithm is not based on 2D projections since 6.9.0 release.

+Classes *AIS_ConnectedInteractive* and *AIS_MultiplyConnectedInteractive*
...
+*AIS_MultiplyConnectedInteractive* represents an assembly...


The class name is AIS_MultipleConnectedInteractive - not AIS_MultiplyConnectedInteractive, please correct all occurrences.

 In addition to Sergey's remarks, I would say that usage of the term "scene graph" is incorrect and confusing here:

+@subsubsection occt_visu_3_2_7 Scene-graph hierarchy


In fact, OCCT does not have a scene graph in its original wide-spread meaning. The use case described in section occt_visu_3_2_7 should be referenced as single object hierarchy.

Please, correct the following:

+Scene hierarchy can be controlled by the following API calls:
Object hierarchy ...

+The conception of instancing (scene-graph level instancing) is separated from hierarchy.
The conception of instancing operates object's hierarchy principles along with the following

+The assemblies are able to participate in a scene hierarchy and are intended
The assemblies are able to participate in object's hierarchy and are intended

It is also necessary to add that AIS_ConnectedInteractive copies sensitive entities of origin object for selection, unlike AIS_MultipleConnectedInteractive that re-uses origin's entities.
