// .NAME vtkInteractorObserver - an abstract superclass for classes observing events invoked by vtkRenderWindowInteractor
// .SECTION Description
// vtkInteractorObserver is an abstract superclass for subclasses that observe
// events invoked by vtkRenderWindowInteractor. These subclasses are 
// typically things like 3D widgets; objects that interact with actors
// in the scene, or interactively probe the scene for information.
//
// vtkInteractorObserver defines the method SetInteractor() and enables and
// disables the processing of events by the vtkInteractorObserver. Use the
// methods EnabledOn() or SetEnabled(1) to turn on the interactor observer,
// and the methods EnabledOff() or SetEnabled(0) to turn off the interactor.
//
// To support interactive manipulation of objects, this class (and
// subclasses) invoke the events StartInteractionEvent, InteractionEvent, and
// EndInteractionEvent.  These events are invoked when the
// vtkInteractorObserver enters a state where rapid response is desired:
// mouse motion, etc. The events can be used, for example, to set the desired
// update frame rate (StartInteractionEvent), operate on data or update a
// pipeline (InteractionEvent), and set the desired frame rate back to normal
// values (EndInteractionEvent). Two other events, EnableEvent and
// DisableEvent, are invoked when the interactor observer is enabled or
// disabled.

  // Description:
  // Methods for turning the interactor observer on and off, and determining
  // its state. All subclasses must provide the SetEnabled() method.
  // Enabling a vtkInteractorObserver has the side effect of adding
  // observers; disabling it removes the observers. Prior to enabling the
  // vtkInteractorObserver you must set the render window interactor (via
  // SetInteractor()).

  // Description:
  // This method is used to associate the widget with the render window
  // interactor.  Observers of the appropriate events invoked in the render
  // window interactor are set up as a result of this method invocation.
  // The SetInteractor() method must be invoked prior to enabling the
  // vtkInteractorObserver.
  virtual void SetInteractor(vtkRenderWindowInteractor* iren);
  vtkGetObjectMacro(Interactor, vtkRenderWindowInteractor);

  // Description:
  // Set/Get the priority at which events are processed. This is used when
  // multiple interactor observers are used simultaneously. The default value
  // is 0.0 (lowest priority.) Note that when multiple interactor observer
  // have the same priority, then the last observer added will process the
  // event first. (Note: once the SetInteractor() method has been called,
  // changing the priority does not effect event processing. You will have
  // to SetInteractor(NULL), change priority, and then SetInteractor(iren)
  // to have the priority take effect.)

  // Description:
  // Enable/Disable of the use of a keypress to turn on and off the
  // interactor observer. (By default, the keypress is 'i' for "interactor
  // observer".)  Set the KeyPressActivationValue to change which key
  // activates the widget.)

  // Description:
  // Specify which key press value to use to activate the interactor observer
  // (if key press activation is enabled). By default, the key press
  // activation value is 'i'. Note: once the SetInteractor() method is
  // invoked, changing the key press activation value will not affect the key
  // press until SetInteractor(NULL)/SetInteractor(iren) is called.

  // Description:
  // Set/Get the default renderer to use when activating the interactor 
  // observer. Normally when the widget is activated (SetEnabled(1) or when 
  // keypress activation takes place), the renderer over which the mouse
  // pointer is positioned is used. Alternatively, you can specify the
  // renderer to bind the interactor to when the interactor observer is
  // activated. 
  vtkGetObjectMacro(DefaultRenderer,vtkRenderer);

  // Description:
  // Set/Get the current renderer. Normally when the widget is activated 
  // (SetEnabled(1) or when keypress activation takes place), the renderer
  // over which the mouse pointer is positioned is used and assigned to
  // this Ivar. Alternatively, you might want to set the CurrentRenderer
  // explicitly.
  // WARNING: note that if the DefaultRenderer Ivar is set (see above), 
  // it will always override the parameter passed to SetCurrentRenderer,
  // unless it is NULL.
