Detailed Description

Applied to a GeomNode to indicate that the children of this GeomNode are coplanar and should be drawn as decals (eliminating Z-fighting).

Definition at line 40 of file decalEffect.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DecalEffect::DecalEffect (   )  [inline, private]
 

Use DecalEffect::make() to construct a new DecalEffect object.

Definition at line 34 of file decalEffect.I.

Member Function Documentation

TypedWritable * RenderEffect::change_this (  TypedWritable *  old_ptr,
BamReader *  manager
)  [static, inherited]
 

Called immediately after complete_pointers(), this gives the object a chance to adjust its own pointer if desired.

Most objects don't change pointers after completion, but some need to.

Once this function has been called, the old pointer will no longer be accessed.

Definition at line 294 of file renderEffect.cxx.

int RenderEffect::compare_to (  const RenderEffect &  other  )  const [inline, inherited]
 

Provides an arbitrary ordering among all unique RenderEffects, so we can store the essentially different ones in a big set and throw away the rest.

This method is not needed outside of the RenderEffect class because all equivalent RenderEffect objects are guaranteed to share the same pointer; thus, a pointer comparison is always sufficient.

Definition at line 46 of file renderEffect.I.

int DecalEffect::compare_to_impl (  const RenderEffect *  other  )  const [protected, virtual]
 

Intended to be overridden by derived DecalEffect types to return a unique number indicating whether this DecalEffect is equivalent to the other one.

This should return 0 if the two DecalEffect objects are equivalent, a number less than zero if this one should be sorted before the other one, and a number greater than zero otherwise.

This will only be called with two DecalEffect objects whose get_type() functions return the same.

Reimplemented from RenderEffect.

Definition at line 90 of file decalEffect.cxx.

References RenderEffect::write_datagram().

int TypedWritable::complete_pointers (  TypedWritable **  p_list,
BamReader *  manager
)  [virtual, inherited]
 

Receives an array of pointers, one for each time manager->read_pointer() was called in fillin().

Returns the number of pointers processed.

This is the callback function that is made by the BamReader at some later point, after all of the required pointers have been filled in. It is necessary because there might be forward references in a bam file; when we call read_pointer() in fillin(), the object may not have been read from the file yet, so we do not have a pointer available at that time. Thus, instead of returning a pointer, read_pointer() simply reserves a later callback. This function provides that callback. The calling object is responsible for keeping track of the number of times it called read_pointer() and extracting the same number of pointers out of the supplied vector, and storing them appropriately within the object.

ConstPointerTo< RenderEffect > DecalEffect::make (   )  [static]
 

Constructs a new DecalEffect object.

Definition at line 39 of file decalEffect.cxx.

TypedWritable * DecalEffect::make_from_bam (  const FactoryParams &  params  )  [static, protected]
 

This function is called by the BamReader's factory when a new object of type DecalEffect is encountered in the Bam file.

It should create the DecalEffect and extract its information from the file.

Definition at line 141 of file decalEffect.cxx.

TypedWritable* RenderEffect::new_from_bam (  RenderEffect *  effect,

Reimplemented in BillboardEffect, and CompassEffect.

Definition at line 157 of file renderEffect.cxx.

References RenderEffect::_effects.

int ReferenceCount::ref (   )  const [inline, inherited]
 

Explicitly increments the reference count.

User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.

This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

The return value is the new reference count.

void DecalEffect::register_with_read_factory (  void   )  [static]
 

Tells the BamReader how to create objects of type DecalEffect.

Definition at line 107 of file decalEffect.cxx.

ConstPointerTo< RenderEffect > RenderEffect::return_new (  RenderEffect *  effect  )  [static, protected, inherited]
 

This function is used by derived RenderEffect types to share a common RenderEffect pointer for all equivalent RenderEffect objects.

The make() function of the derived type should create a new RenderEffect and pass it through return_new(), which will either save the pointer and return it unchanged (if this is the first similar such object) or delete it and return an equivalent pointer (if there was already a similar object saved).

References TypedWritable::write_datagram().

bool DecalEffect::safe_to_combine (   )  const [protected, virtual]
 

Returns true if this kind of effect can safely be combined with sibling nodes that share the exact same effect, or false if this is not a good idea.

Reimplemented from RenderEffect.

Definition at line 57 of file decalEffect.cxx.

bool RenderEffect::safe_to_transform (   )  const [virtual, inherited]
 

Returns true if it is generally safe to transform this particular kind of RenderEffect by calling the xform() method, false otherwise.

References INLINE.

Referenced by EggNode::determine_bin(), and ReferenceCount::~ReferenceCount().

int ReferenceCount::unref (   )  const [inline, inherited]
 

Explicitly decrements the reference count.

Note that the object will not be implicitly deleted by unref() simply because the reference count drops to zero. (Having a member function delete itself is problematic; plus, we don't have a virtual destructor anyway.) However, see the helper function unref_delete().

User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.

This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

The return value is the new reference count.
