Interface for objects that hook into RenderingWindow to affect the rendering process, thus allowing various effects to be achieved.
| virtual int CEGUI::RenderEffect::getPassCount |
( |
| ) |
const |
|
pure virtual |
Return the number of passes required by this effect.
- Returns
- integer value indicating the number of rendering passes required to fully render this effect.
| virtual void CEGUI::RenderEffect::performPostRenderFunctions |
( |
| ) |
|
|
pure virtual |
Function called after RenderingWindow::draw is called. This is intended to be used for any required cleanup / state restoration. This function is called once only, unlike performPreRenderFunctions which may be called multiple times; once for each pass in the effect.
- Note
- Note that this function is called before any standard state cleanup that might be peformed by the Renderer module.
| virtual void CEGUI::RenderEffect::performPreRenderFunctions |
( |
const int |
pass | ) |
|
|
pure virtual |
Function called prior to RenderingWindow::draw being called. This is intended to be used for any required setup / state initialisation and is called once for each pass in the effect.
- Parameters
-
| pass | Indicates the pass number to be initialised (starting at pass 0). |
- Note
- Note that this function is called after any standard state initialisation that might be peformed by the Renderer module.
Function called to generate geometry for the RenderingWindow.
The geometry generated should be fully unclipped and window local. The origin for the geometry is located at the top-left corner.
- Parameters
-
| window | The RenderingWindow object that is being processed. |
| geometry | GeometryBuffer object where the generated geometry should be added. This object will be cleared before this function is invoked. |
- Returns
- boolean value indicating whether the RenderingWindow should generate it's own geometry.
- true if the RenderingWindow should generate it's own geometry. You will usually only return true if you do not need to use custom geometry.
- false if you have added any required geometry needed to represent the RenderingWindow.
| virtual bool CEGUI::RenderEffect::update |
( |
const float |
elapsed, |
|
|
RenderingWindow & |
window |
|
) |
| |
|
pure virtual |
Function called to perform any time based updates on the RenderEffect state.
- Note
- This function should only affect the internal state of the RenderEffect object. This function should definitely not be used to directly affect any render states of the underlying rendering API or engine.
- Parameters
-
| elapsed | The number of seconds that have elapsed since the last time this function was called. |
| window | RenderingWindow object that the RenderEffect is being applied to. |
- Returns
- boolean that indicates whether the window geometry will still be valid after the update.
