Member Function Documentation

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::bindShaders ( )

Perform required operations to bind shaders (or unbind them) depending on whether shader based rendering is currently enabled.

Normally you would not need to call this function directly, although that might be required if you are using RenderEffect objects that also use shaders.

static OgreRenderer& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::bootstrapSystem ( const int abi = CEGUI_VERSION_ABI )

static

Convenience function that creates all the Ogre specific objects and then initialises the CEGUI system with them.

The created Renderer will use the default Ogre rendering window as the default output surface.

This will create and initialise the following objects for you:

Parameters

abi	This must be set to CEGUI_VERSION_ABI

Returns: Reference to the CEGUI::OgreRenderer object that was created.

Note: For this to succeed you must have initialised Ogre to auto create the rendering window. If you have not done this, then you'll be wanting to use the overload that takes an Ogre::RenderTarget as input.

static OgreRenderer& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::bootstrapSystem	(	Ogre::RenderTarget &	target,
		const int	abi = `CEGUI_VERSION_ABI`
	)

static

Convenience function that creates all the Ogre specific objects and then initialises the CEGUI system with them.

The create Renderer will use the specified Ogre::RenderTarget as the default output surface.

This will create and initialise the following objects for you:

Parameters

target	Reference to the Ogre::RenderTarget object that the created OgreRenderer will use as the default rendering root.
abi	This must be set to CEGUI_VERSION_ABI

Returns: Reference to the CEGUI::OgreRenderer object that was created.

static OgreRenderer& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::create ( const int abi = CEGUI_VERSION_ABI )

static

Create an OgreRenderer object that uses the default Ogre rendering window as the default output surface.

Note: For this to succeed you must have initialised Ogre to auto create the rendering window. If you have not done this, then you'll be wanting to use the overload that takes an Ogre::RenderTarget as input.

GeometryBuffer& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::createGeometryBuffer ( )

virtual

Create a new GeometryBuffer and return a reference to it. You should remove the GeometryBuffer from any RenderQueues and call destroyGeometryBuffer when you want to destroy the GeometryBuffer.

Returns: GeometryBuffer object.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

Texture& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::createTexture	(	const String &	name,
		Ogre::TexturePtr &	tex,
		bool	take_ownership = `false`
	)

Create a CEGUI::Texture that wraps an existing Ogre texture.

Parameters

name	The name for tne new texture being created.
tex	Ogre::TexturePtr for the texture that will be used by the created CEGUI::Texture.
take_ownership	true if the created Texture will assume ownership of tex and thus destroy tex when the Texture is destroyed. false if ownership of tex remains with the client app, and so no attempt will be made to destroy tex when the Texture is destroyed.

Texture& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::createTexture ( const String & name )

virtual

Create a 'null' Texture object.

Parameters

name	String holding the name for the new texture. Texture names must be unique within the Renderer.

Returns: A newly created Texture object. The returned Texture object has no size or imagery associated with it.

AlreadyExistsException - thrown if a Texture object named name already exists within the system.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

Texture& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::createTexture	(	const String &	name,
		const String &	filename,
		const String &	resourceGroup
	)

virtual

Create a Texture object using the given image file.

Parameters

name	String holding the name for the new texture. Texture names must be unique within the Renderer.
filename	String object that specifies the path and filename of the image file to use when creating the texture.
resourceGroup	String objet that specifies the resource group identifier to be passed to the resource provider when loading the texture file filename.

Returns: A newly created Texture object. The initial content of the texture memory is the requested image file.

Note: Due to possible limitations of the underlying hardware, API or engine, the final size of the texture may not match the size of the loaded file. You can check the ultimate sizes by querying the Texture object after creation.

AlreadyExistsException - thrown if a Texture object named name already exists within the system.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

Texture& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::createTexture	(	const String &	name,
		const Sizef &	size
	)

virtual

Create a Texture object with the given pixel dimensions as specified by size.

Parameters

name	String holding the name for the new texture. Texture names must be unique within the Renderer.
size	Size object that describes the desired texture size.

Returns: A newly created Texture object. The initial contents of the texture memory is undefined.

Note: Due to possible limitations of the underlying hardware, API or engine, the final size of the texture may not match the requested size. You can check the ultimate sizes by querying the Texture object after creation.

AlreadyExistsException - thrown if a Texture object named name already exists within the system.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

TextureTarget* CEGUI::OgreRenderer::createTextureTarget ( )

virtual

Create a TextureTarget that can be used to cache imagery; this is a RenderTarget that does not lose it's content from one frame to another.

If the renderer is unable to offer such a thing, 0 should be returned.

Returns: Pointer to a TextureTarget object that is suitable for caching imagery, or 0 if the renderer is unable to offer such a thing.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::destroyGeometryBuffer ( const GeometryBuffer & buffer )

virtual

Destroy a GeometryBuffer that was returned when calling the createGeometryBuffer function. Before destroying any GeometryBuffer you should ensure that it has been removed from any RenderQueue that was using it.

Parameters

buffer The GeometryBuffer object to be destroyed.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

static void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::destroySystem ( )

static

Convenience function to cleanup the CEGUI system and related objects that were created by calling the bootstrapSystem function.

This function will destroy the following objects for you:

Note: If you did not initialise CEGUI by calling the bootstrapSystem function, you should not call this, but rather delete any objects you created manually.

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::destroyTexture ( Texture & texture )

virtual

Destroy a Texture object that was previously created by calling the createTexture functions.

Parameters

texture Texture object to be destroyed.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::destroyTexture ( const String & name )

virtual

Destroy a Texture object that was previously created by calling the createTexture functions.

Parameters

name	String holding the name of the texture to destroy.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::destroyTextureTarget ( TextureTarget * target )

virtual

Function that cleans up TextureTarget objects created with the createTextureTarget function.

Parameters

target A pointer to a TextureTarget object that was previously returned from a call to createTextureTarget.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

RenderTarget& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::getDefaultRenderTarget ( )

virtual

Returns the default RenderTarget object. The default render target is is typically one that targets the entire screen (or rendering window).

Returns: Reference to a RenderTarget object.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

const Vector2f& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::getDisplayDPI ( ) const

virtual

Return the resolution of the display or host window in dots per inch.

Returns: Vector2 object that describes the resolution of the display or host window in DPI.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

const Sizef& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::getDisplaySize ( ) const

virtual

Returns: Size object describing the pixel dimesntions of the current display or host window.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

const String& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::getIdentifierString ( ) const

virtual

Return identification string for the renderer module.

Returns: String object holding text that identifies the Renderer in use.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

uint CEGUI::OgreRenderer::getMaxTextureSize ( ) const

virtual

Return the pixel size of the maximum supported texture.

Returns: Size of the maximum supported texture in pixels.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

Texture& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::getTexture ( const String & name ) const

virtual

Return a Texture object that was previously created by calling the createTexture functions.

Parameters

name	String holding the name of the Texture object to be returned.

UnknownObjectException - thrown if no Texture object named name exists within the system.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

const Ogre::Matrix4& CEGUI::OgreRenderer::getWorldViewProjMatrix ( ) const

Return a const reference to the final transformation matrix that should be used when transforming geometry.

Note: The projection used when building this matrix is correctly adjusted according to whether the current Ogre::RenderTarget requires textures to be flipped (i.e it does the right thing for both D3D and OpenGL).

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::initialiseRenderStateSettings ( )

Sets all the required render states needed for CEGUI rendering.

This is a low-level function intended for certain advanced concepts; in general it will not be required to call this function directly, since it is called automatically by the system when rendering is done.

bool CEGUI::OgreRenderer::isFrameControlExecutionEnabled ( ) const

Returns whether rendering done by CEGUI will be wrapped with calls to Ogre::RenderSystem::_beginFrame and Ogre::RenderSystem::_endFrame.

This defaults to enabled and is required when using the default hook that automatically calls CEGUI::System::renderGUI via a frame listener. If you disable this setting, the automated rendering will also be disabled, which is useful when you wish to perform your own calls to the CEGUI::System::renderGUI function (and is the sole purpose for this setting).

Returns

true if _beginFrame and _endFrame will be called.
false if _beginFrame and _endFrame will not be called (also means default renderGUI call will not be made).

bool CEGUI::OgreRenderer::isTexCoordSystemFlipped ( ) const

inline

Returns if the texture coordinate system is vertically flipped or not. The original of a texture coordinate system is typically located either at the the top-left or the bottom-left. CEGUI, Direct3D and most rendering engines assume it to be on the top-left. OpenGL assumes it to be at the bottom left.

This function is intended to be used when generating geometry for rendering the TextureTarget onto another surface. It is also intended to be used when trying to use a custom texture (RTT) inside CEGUI using the Image class, in order to determine the Image coordinates correctly.

Returns

true if flipping is required: the texture coordinate origin is at the bottom left
false if flipping is not required: the texture coordinate origin is at the top left

bool CEGUI::OgreRenderer::isUsingShaders ( ) const

Returns whether the OgreRenderer is currently set to use shaders when doing its rendering operations.

Returns

true if rendering is being done using shaders.
false if rendering is being done using the fixed function pipeline

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::setDefaultRootRenderTarget ( Ogre::RenderTarget & target )

Sets the Ogre::RenderTarget that should be targetted by the default GUIContext.

Parameters

target Reference to the Ogre::RenderTarget object that is to be used as the target for output from the default GUIContext.

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::setDisplaySize ( const Sizef & size )

virtual

Set the size of the display or host window in pixels for this Renderer object.

This is intended to be called by the System as part of the notification process when display size changes are notified to it via the System::notifyDisplaySizeChanged function.

Note: The Renderer implementation should not use this function other than to perform internal state updates on the Renderer and related objects.

Parameters

size	Size object describing the dimesions of the current or host window in pixels.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::setFrameControlExecutionEnabled ( const bool enabled )

Controls whether rendering done by CEGUI will be wrapped with calls to Ogre::RenderSystem::_beginFrame and Ogre::RenderSystem::_endFrame.

This defaults to enabled and is required when using the default hook that automatically calls CEGUI::System::renderGUI via a frame listener. If you disable this setting, the automated rendering will also be disabled, which is useful when you wish to perform your own calls to the CEGUI::System::renderGUI function (and is the sole purpose for this setting).

Parameters

enabled

true if _beginFrame and _endFrame should be called.
false if _beginFrame and _endFrame should not be called (also disables default renderGUI call).

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::setUsingShaders ( const bool use_shaders )

Set whether the OgreRenderer shound use shaders when performing its rendering operations.

Parameters

use_shaders

true if rendering shaders should be used to perform rendering.
false if the fixed function pipeline should be used to perform rendering.

Note: When compiled against Ogre 1.8 or later, shaders will automatically be enabled if the render sytem does not support the fixed function pipeline (such as with Direct3D 11). If you are compiling against earlier releases of Ogre, you must explicity enable the use of shaders by calling this function - if you are unsure what you'll be compiling against, it is safe to call this function anyway.

void CEGUI::OgreRenderer::updateShaderParams ( ) const

Updates the shader constant parameters (i.e. uniforms).

You do not normally need to call this function directly. Some may need to call this function if you're doing non-standard or advanced things.
