Detailed Description

The SoRenderManager class is used for controlling the rendering of a scene graph.

You can use this class to configure things like clipping planes, rendering mode, stereo rendering and the background color. In earlier versions of Coin/Inventor, this was set up in the GUI toolkits, making it quite hard to make a new Coin viewer for another GUI toolkit. With this new class all that is needed is to create one SoRenderManager instance per viewer/view.

This class does not handle events for the scene graph/viewer. To do that you can use the SoEventManager class.

Since:

Coin 3.0

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum SoRenderManager::RenderMode

Sets how rendering of primitives is done.

Enumerator:

AS_IS

Render primitives as they are described in the scenegraph.

WIREFRAME

Render polygons as wireframe

POINTS

Render only the vertices of the polygons and lines.

WIREFRAME_OVERLAY

Render a wireframe overlay in addition to the AS_IS mode

HIDDEN_LINE

As WIREFRAME, but culls lines which would otherwise not be shown due to geometric culling.

BOUNDING_BOX

Only show the bounding box of each object.

enum SoRenderManager::StereoMode

Manages how to render steroscopic images.

Enumerator:

MONO

No stereoscopic rendering

ANAGLYPH

Anaglyph rendering is used to provide a steroscopic 3D effect, when viewed with 3D glasses. The image is made up of two color layers which are superimposed on each other, and appears as 3 dimensional when viewed through corresponding colored filters(glases)

SEPARATE_OUTPUT

Send output to separate buffers.

QUAD_BUFFER

Same as SEPARATE_OUTPUT, SEPARATE_OUTPUT is more commonly known as QUAD_BUFFER, when also using double buffering.

INTERLEAVED_ROWS

Render every second row as left and right image. If rendered with a polarized projector, polarized filters kan be used to give a 3D effect.

INTERLEAVED_COLUMNS

Render every second column as left and right image. If rendered with a polarized projector, polarized filters kan be used to give a 3D effect.

enum SoRenderManager::BufferType

Buffering strategy

Enumerator:

BUFFER_SINGLE

Output to one buffer

BUFFER_DOUBLE

Alternate between output buffers

enum SoRenderManager::AutoClippingStrategy

Strategy for adjusting camera near/far clipping plane

Enumerator:

NO_AUTO_CLIPPING

Turn off automatic clipping. The user needs to set the correct values in the camera.

FIXED_NEAR_PLANE

Keep near plane at a fixed distance from the camera. The far plane is always set at the end of the bounding box.

VARIABLE_NEAR_PLANE

Variable adjustment of the nearplane relative to the camera.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoRenderManager::SoRenderManager (void)

Constructor.

SoRenderManager::~SoRenderManager () [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

void SoRenderManager::render (const SbBoolclearwindow = TRUE, const SbBoolclearzbuffer = TRUE) [virtual]

Render the scene graph.

All SbBool arguments should normally be TRUE, but they can be set to FALSE to optimize for special cases (e.g. when doing wireframe rendering one doesn't need a depth buffer).

Parameters:

clearwindow If set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
clearzbuffer If set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.

void SoRenderManager::render (SoGLRenderAction *action, const SbBoolinitmatrices = TRUE, const SbBoolclearwindow = TRUE, const SbBoolclearzbuffer = TRUE) [virtual]

Render the scene graph.

All SbBool arguments should normally be TRUE, but they can be set to FALSE to optimize for special cases (e.g. when doing wireframe rendering one doesn't need a depth buffer).

Parameters:

clearwindow If set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
clearzbuffer If set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.

Parameters:

initmatrices if true, the projection and modelview matrices are reset to identity
action Renders with a user supplied action

SoRenderManager::Superimposition * SoRenderManager::addSuperimposition (SoNode *scene, uint32_tflags = Superimposition::AUTOREDRAW | Superimposition::ZBUFFERON | Superimposition::CLEARZBUFFER)

Add a superimposition for this scene graph. A superimposition can either be a scene rendered in the background, or a scene rendered in the front of the actual scene graph.

This is useful, for instance, if you want to add a gradient or an image in the background, and for having some HUD info in the foreground.

Please note that if you use superimpositions, multipass antialiasing have to be handled in the render manager, and not in SoGLRenderAction, so the pass update features in SoGLRenderAction will be disabled.

See Also:

SoGLRenderAction::setNumPasses()

SoGLRenderAction::setPassUpdate()

SoGLRenderAction::setPassCallback()

void SoRenderManager::removeSuperimposition (Superimposition *s)

Removes a superimposition.

See Also:

addSuperimposition()

void SoRenderManager::setSceneGraph (SoNode *constsceneroot) [virtual]

Set the node which is top of the scene graph we're managing. The sceneroot node reference count will be increased by 1, and any previously set scene graph top node will have it's reference count decreased by 1.

See Also:

getSceneGraph()
