Detailed Description

Manages properties which influences how rendering is done.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum SoRenderManager::RenderMode

Sets how rendering of primitives is done.

Enumerator

Render primitives as they are described in the scenegraph.
Render only the wireframe
Render only the vertices of the primitives
Render a wireframe overlay in addition to the AS_IS mode
As WIREFRAME, but culls lines which would otherwise not be shown due to geometric culling.
Only show the bounding box of each object

enum SoRenderManager::StereoMode

Manages how to render steroscopic images.

Enumerator

No stereoscopic rendering
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)
Send output to separate buffers.
Same as SEPARATE_OUTPUT, SEPARATE_OUTPUT is more commonly known as QUAD_BUFFER, when also using double buffering.
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.
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

Output to one buffer
Alternate between output buffers

enum SoRenderManager::AutoClippingStrategy

Strategy for adjusting camera clipping plane

Enumerator

Turn off automatic clipping
Keep near plane at a fixed distance from the camera
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.
