Detailed Description

For every combination of viewport and camera, picking casts a ray through the scene to find entities who’s bounding volume intersects the ray. The bounding volume is computed using the values in the attribute buffer specified by the boundingVolumePositionAttribute of the geometry.

The signals pressed() , released() , clicked() , moved() , entered() , and exited() are emitted when the bounding volume defined by the pickAttribute property intersects with a ray.

Most signals carry a QPickEvent instance. If QPickingSettings::pickMode() is set to TrianglePicking , the actual type of the pick parameter will be QPickTriangleEvent .

Pick queries are performed on mouse press and mouse release. If drag is enabled, queries also happen on each mouse move while any button is pressed. If hover is enabled, queries happen on every mouse move even if no button is pressed.

For generalised ray casting queries, see QRayCaster and QScreenRayCaster .

Note

Instances of this component shouldn’t be shared, not respecting that condition will most likely result in undefined behavior.

Note

The camera far plane value affects picking and produces incorrect results due to floating-point precision if it is greater than ~100 000.
