I poked around some and found my project file for that patch. Using
this some format and the skanky sdk, you should be able to test for
any kind of port / data type.
The .m file:
#import "QCMeshValidate.h"
@implementation QCMeshValidate
+(BOOL)isSafe
{
return NO;
}
+(BOOL)allowsSubpatchesWithIdentifier:(id)identifier
{
return NO;
}
+(int)executionModeWithIdentifier:(id)identifier
{
return 0;
}
+(int)timeModeWithIdentifier:(id)identifier
{
return 0;
}
-(id)initWithIdentifier:(id)identifier
{
if(self = [super initWithIdentifier:identifier])
{
[[self userInfo] setObject:@"QCMeshValidate" forKey:@"name"];
}
return self;
}
-(BOOL)setup:(QCOpenGLContext*)context
{
return YES;
}
-(void)cleanup:(QCOpenGLContext*)context
{
}
-(void)enable:(QCOpenGLContext*)context
{
}
-(void)disable:(QCOpenGLContext*)context
{
}
-(BOOL)execute:(QCOpenGLContext*)context time:(double)time
arguments:(NSDictionary*)arguments
{
[outputResult setIndexValue:([inputMesh meshValue] ? 1 : 0)];
return YES;
}
@end
...and the header (.h file):
@interface QCMeshValidate : QCPatch
{
QCMeshPort *inputMesh;
QCIndexPort *outputResult;
}
+(BOOL)isSafe;
+(BOOL)allowsSubpatchesWithIdentifier:(id)identifier;
+(int)executionModeWithIdentifier:(id)identifier;
+(int)timeModeWithIdentifier:(id)identifier;
-(id)initWithIdentifier:(id)identifier;
-(BOOL)setup:(QCOpenGLContext*)context;
-(void)cleanup:(QCOpenGLContext*)context;
-(void)enable:(QCOpenGLContext*)context;
-(void)disable:(QCOpenGLContext*)context;
-(BOOL)execute:(QCOpenGLContext*)context time:(double)time
arguments:(NSDictionary*)arguments;
@end
If you look at the download and install the skanky sdk
(http://kineme.net), and make a new project, you should be able to use
this general setup to test for any kind of port type.
You can consult the skanky sdk example patches for implementing the
xml file for if you want to customize your key and attributes for
ports, etc., (it's not strictly necessary).
Best regards,
