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

◆ RenderMode

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.

◆ StereoMode

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.

◆ BufferType

enum SoRenderManager::BufferType

Buffering strategy

Enumerator
BUFFER_SINGLE 

Output to one buffer

BUFFER_DOUBLE 

Alternate between output buffers

◆ AutoClippingStrategy

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::SoRenderManager ( void  )

Constructor.

◆ ~SoRenderManager()

SoRenderManager::~SoRenderManager ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ render() [1/2]

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
[in]clearwindowIf set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
[in]clearzbufferIf set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.

◆ render() [2/2]

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
[in]clearwindowIf set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
[in]clearzbufferIf set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.
[in]initmatricesif true, the projection and modelview matrices are reset to identity
[in]actionRenders with a user supplied action

◆ addSuperimposition()

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.
