Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VisionControl ( const std::string &  streamname  )  [explicit]

Standard constructor.

Automatically generates a (hopefully) unique global name. If two of the same (consumer) binaries are running, it *will* fail. This is the only constructor you should use for suppliers.

Definition at line 37 of file VisionControl.cpp.

References VisionControl::init(), Capability::m_haveGlobalname, and WURDE::STRAT_NORMAL.

VisionControl ( const ConnectionStrategy strategy,
const std::string &  gblName 
)

Auto-wiring constructor.

Submits a request to MCP for a stream to connect to, based on global name. ConnectionStrategy should be auto for now.

Definition at line 44 of file VisionControl.cpp.

References VisionControl::init(), Capability::m_haveGlobalname, Capability::m_haveStream, and WURDE::STRAT_NORMAL.

VisionControl ( const std::string &  streamname,
const std::string &  gblName 
)

Like the standard constructor, but explicitly sets the global name.

Use this when starting multiple instances of the same binary, so that each instance can be assigned a separate name.

Sets the state of the auto-ping function.

Should consumers be set up to send out this request on a regular basis?
