| static std::string MCNode< T, mcName, mcDesc, completes >::getClassDescription | ( | ) | [static] |
Gives a short description of what this class of behaviors does... you should override this (but don't have to).
If you do override this, also consider overriding getDescription() to return it

| virtual std::string MCNode< T, mcName, mcDesc, completes >::getDescription | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
Gives a short description of what this particular instantiation does (in case a more specific description is needed on an individual basis).
By default simply returns getName(), because any calls from a BehaviorBase function to getClassDescription() are going to call BehaviorBase::getClassDescription(), not ~YourSubClass~getClassDescription(), because static functions can't be virtual in C++ (doh!)
This means that getDescription called on a pointer to a BehaviorBase of unknown subtype would always return an empty string, which is pretty useless. So instead we return the name in this situation. If you want getDescription to return getClassDescription, you'll have to override it in your subclass to do so.

| MMAccessor< T > MCNode< T, mcName, mcDesc, completes >::getMC | ( | ) | [virtual] |
reveal the MotionCommand through an MMAccessor
This is a no-op if the motion command hasn't been added to motion manager yet, and enforces mutual exclusion if it has
| SharedObject< T > & MCNode< T, mcName, mcDesc, completes >::getPrivateMC | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
returns reference to mc or a new SharedObject<T> if mc is currently NULL (so it will always return a valid value)
if a particular motion command needs some initial setup besides the default constructor, overriding this function is a good opportunity to do so
