A manager class for 3D visualization of a structure.

The [SceneManager](class_scene_manager.xhtml "A manager class for 3D visualization of a structure. ") contains a [Structure](class_structure.xhtml "The central data structure for SoS. "), extracts the reference-mesh and adds it as a first scene via addScene. Since there is no data selected in the beginning, this will result in a structure-plot without contour or palette. After the first call of addSceneData(...) contour or palette are added.

Qt separation: This class contains no functionality relying on Qt classes. All methods using Qt classes are virtual and have no implementation, calling DYNARDO\_LOG\_WARN instead. Their implementation is done in SceneManagerQt, part of the sos\_qt\_extensions module. Class [SceneManager](class_scene_manager.xhtml "A manager class for 3D visualization of a structure. ") is NO QObject, but SceneManagerQt is. Instances of [SceneManager](class_scene_manager.xhtml "A manager class for 3D visualization of a structure. ") or SceneManagerQt are created with application\_makeSceneManager(), implemented in the sos\_qt\_extensions or sos\_noqt\_extensions module respectively.

Destructor.

Adds a default scene to the scene manager

Initializes a new scene without any data and sets its index active. Sets the title to '[Structure](class_structure.xhtml "The central data structure for SoS. ")' and generates a legend displaying some structure related information (i.e. mesh type, number of parts/elements/nodes, ...) only. Finally calls on all manager known listeners the ...AddScene method.
