Detailed Description

Manages properties which influences how rendering is done.

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 only the wireframe

POINTS
    Render only the vertices of the primitives

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 clipping plane

Enumerator

NO_AUTO_CLIPPING
    Turn off automatic clipping

FIXED_NEAR_PLANE
    Keep near plane at a fixed distance from the camera

VARIABLE_NEAR_PLANE
    Variable adjustment of the nearplane relative to the camera.

Member Function Documentation

  void SoRenderManager::render (const SbBool clearwindow = TRUE, const SbBool clearzbuffer = 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 SbBool initmatrices = TRUE, const SbBool clearwindow = TRUE, const SbBool clearzbuffer = 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.
    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_t flags = 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()
