Face Robot Developer Reference
Face Robot accepts all XSI scripts and scripted operators. In addition, Face Robot also provides a custom programming interface for accessing and controlling Face Robot. This is the Face Robot Programming Interface (FRPI), and it will grow in scope in future versions so that more and more of the system functionality will be available for programmatic control.
The central concept of FRPI is that of the Robot State (RS). Think of RS as a database of relevant objects that can be accessed conveniently and reliably without searching the scene graph. The examples below should help illustrate how the RS is used.
Here are the FaceRobot commands (presented in JScript syntax):
| Table of contents |
FaceRobot
fr_sdump
Logs the contents of RS.
fr_sget
Retrieves values from RS as Collections, Groups, X3DObjects, etc.
fr_sget("FaceModel")
fr_sget("meshes") returns an associative array of all Face Robot meshes
fr_sget("meshes","Mesh") returns the main head mesh
valid meshes [Mesh,LEye,REye,UpperTeeth,LowerTeeth]
fr_sget("controls")
fr_sget("groups")
fr_sget("hpoints","HeadNull")
fr_sfeatures
fr_sindices
fr_sset
