Detailed Description

The SoSceneTexture2 class is used to create a 2D texture from a Coin scene graph.

Lets the rendering of a scene graph be specified as a texture image to be used in another scene graph. Set up the scene graph used for a texture in the SoSceneTexture2::scene field.

This node behaves exactly like SoTexture2 when it comes mapping the actual texture onto subsequent geometry. Please read the SoTexture2 documentation for more information about how textures are mapped onto shapes.

A notable feature of this node is that it will use offscreen pbuffers for hardware accelerated rendering, if they are available from the OpenGL driver. WGL, GLX and AGL, for OpenGL drivers on Microsoft Windows, X11 and Mac OS X, respectively, all support the OpenGL Architecture Review Board (ARB) pbuffer extension in later incarnations from most OpenGL vendors.

Note also that the offscreen pbuffer will be used directly on the card as a texture, with no costly round trip back and forth from CPU memory, if the OpenGL driver supports the recent ARB_render_texture extension.

An important limitation is that textures should have dimensions that are equal to a whole power-of-two, see documentation for SoSceneTexture::size.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum \fBSoSceneTexture2::Model\fP

Texture mapping model, for deciding how to 'merge' the texturemap with the object it is mapped onto.

Enumerator

MODULATE: Texture color is multiplied by the polygon color. The result will be Phong shaded (if light model is PHONG).
DECAL: Texture image overwrites polygon shading. Textured pixels will not be Phong shaded. Has undefined behaviour for grayscale and grayscale-alpha textures.
BLEND: This model is normally used with monochrome textures (i.e. textures with one or two components). The first component, the intensity, is then used to blend between the shaded color of the polygon and the SoSceneTexture2::blendColor.
REPLACE: Texture image overwrites polygon shading. Textured pixels will not be Phong shaded. Supports grayscale and grayscale alpha textures. This feature requires OpenGL 1.1. MODULATE will be used if OpenGL version < 1.1 is detected.

enum \fBSoSceneTexture2::Wrap\fP

Enumeration of wrapping strategies which can be used when the texturemap doesn't cover the full extent of the geometry.

Enumerator

REPEAT: Repeat texture when coordinate is not between 0 and 1.
CLAMP: Clamp coordinate between 0 and 1.

enum \fBSoSceneTexture2::TransparencyFunction\fP

For deciding how the texture's alpha channel is handled. It's not possible to automatically detect this, since the texture is stored only on the graphics card's memory, and it'd be too slow to fetch the image to test the alpha channel like Coin does for regular textures.

Enumerator

NONE: The alpha channel is ignored.
ALPHA_BLEND: Alpha blending is used.
ALPHA_TEST: An alpha test function is used.

enum \fBSoSceneTexture2::Type\fP

Enumerator

DEPTH: Specifies a depth buffer texture.
RGBA8: Specifies an RGBA texture with 8 bits per component.

Member Function Documentation

\fBSoType\fP SoSceneTexture2::getTypeId (void) const\fC [virtual]\fP

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for run-time type checking and 'downward' casting. Usage example:

void foo(SoNode * node)
{
  if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
    SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
  }
}

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

Implements SoBase.

const \fBSoFieldData\fP * SoSceneTexture2::getFieldData (void) const\fC [protected]\fP, \fC [virtual]\fP

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
