Member Function Documentation

◆ bulkCompressedSubregion()

static void Ogre::PixelUtil::bulkCompressedSubregion	(	const PixelBox &	src,
		const PixelBox &	dst,
		const Box &	dstRegion
	)

static

Emplaces the binary compressed data from src into a subregion of dst.

Parameters

src	PixelBox containing the source pixels, pitches and format. Data must be consecutive
dst	PixelBox containing the destination pixels, pitches and format. Data must be consecutive
dstRegion	The region on dst where src will be emplaced. dstRegion's resolution must match that of src. dstRegion must be within dst's bounds.

Remarks: The source and destination must have the same the same format.

: Each compression format may enforce different requirements. Most notably the subregions' bounds must be aligned to a certain boundary (usually to multiples of 4). If these requirements aren't met, an exception will be thrown.

: Some formats (i.e. PVRTC) don't support subregions at all, and thus an exception will be thrown.

: @See getCompressedBlockWidth

◆ bulkPixelConversion() [1/2]

static void Ogre::PixelUtil::bulkPixelConversion	(	const PixelBox &	src,
		const PixelBox &	dst
	)

static

Convert pixels from one format to another.

No dithering or filtering is being done. Converting from RGB to luminance takes the R channel.

Parameters

src	PixelBox containing the source pixels, pitches and format
dst	PixelBox containing the destination pixels, pitches and format

Remarks: The source and destination boxes must have the same dimensions. In case the source and destination format match, a plain copy is done.

◆ bulkPixelConversion() [2/2]

static void Ogre::PixelUtil::bulkPixelConversion	(	void *	src,
		PixelFormat	srcFormat,
		void *	dst,
		PixelFormat	dstFormat,
		unsigned int	count
	)

static

Convert consecutive pixels from one format to another.

No dithering or filtering is being done. Converting from RGB to luminance takes the R channel. In case the source and destination format match, just a copy is done.

Parameters

src	Pointer to source region
srcFormat	Pixel format of source region
dst	Pointer to destination region
dstFormat	Pixel format of destination region

◆ bulkPixelVerticalFlip()

static void Ogre::PixelUtil::bulkPixelVerticalFlip ( const PixelBox & box )

◆ calculateSizeBytes()

static size_t Ogre::PixelUtil::calculateSizeBytes	(	uint32	width,
		uint32	height,
		uint32	depth,
		uint32	slices,
		PixelFormat	format,
		uint8	numMipmaps
	)

static

WARNING: numMipmaps includes the mip 0.

That means numMipmaps > 0, and that you should use texture->getNumMipmaps + 1u

◆ convertForNormalMapping()

static void Ogre::PixelUtil::convertForNormalMapping	(	const PixelBox &	src,
		const PixelBox &	dst
	)

static

Converts the input source to either PF_R8G8_SNORM or PF_BYTE_LA.

dst must be one of either formats.

Parameters

src	PixelBox containing the source pixels, pitches and format
dst	PixelBox containing the destination pixels, pitches and format

Remarks: The source and destination boxes must have the same dimensions.

◆ getBitDepths()

static void Ogre::PixelUtil::getBitDepths	(	PixelFormat	format,
		int	rgba[4]
	)

static

Gives the number of bits (RGBA) for a format.

See remarks.

Remarks: For non-colour formats (dxt, depth) this returns [0,0,0,0].

◆ getBitMasks()

		uint64	rgba[4]
	)

static

Gives the masks for the R, G, B and A component.

Gives the bit shifts for R, G, B and A component.

Note: Only valid for native endian formats

◆ getBNFExpressionOfPixelFormats()

static String Ogre::PixelUtil::getBNFExpressionOfPixelFormats ( bool accessibleOnly = false )

static

Gets the BNF expression of the pixel-formats.

Note: The string returned by this function is intended to be used as a BNF expression to work with Compiler2Pass.

Parameters

accessibleOnly If true, only accessible pixel format will take into account, otherwise all pixel formats list in PixelFormat enumeration will being returned.

Returns: A string contains the BNF expression.

◆ getComponentCount()

static size_t Ogre::PixelUtil::getComponentCount ( PixelFormat fmt )

static

Returns the component count for a certain pixel format.

Returns 3(no alpha) or 4 (has alpha) in case there is no clear component type like with compressed formats.

◆ getComponentType()

static PixelComponentType Ogre::PixelUtil::getComponentType ( PixelFormat fmt )

static

Returns the component type for a certain pixel format.

Returns PCT_BYTE in case there is no clear component type like with compressed formats. This is one of PCT_BYTE, PCT_SHORT, PCT_FLOAT16, PCT_FLOAT32.

◆ getCompressedBlockHeight()

static uint32 Ogre::PixelUtil::getCompressedBlockHeight	(	PixelFormat	format,
		bool	apiStrict = `true`
	)

static

@See getCompressedBlockWidth

◆ getCompressedBlockWidth()

static uint32 Ogre::PixelUtil::getCompressedBlockWidth	(	PixelFormat	format,
		bool	apiStrict = `true`
	)

static

Returns the minimum width for block compressed schemes.

ie. DXT1 compresses in blocks of 4x4 pixels. A texture with a width of 2 is just padded to 4. When building UV atlases composed of already compressed data being stitched together, the block size is very important to know as the resolution of the individual textures must be a multiple of this size.

Remarks: If the format is not compressed, returns 1.

: The function can return a value of 0 (as happens with PVRTC & ETC1 compression); this is because although they may compress in blocks (i.e. PVRTC uses a 4x4 or 8x4 block), this information is useless as the compression scheme doesn't have isolated blocks (modifying a single pixel can change the binary data of the entire stream) making it useless for subimage sampling or creating UV atlas.

Parameters

format	The format to query for. Can be compressed or not.
apiStrict	When true, obeys the rules of most APIs (i.e. ETC1 can't update subregions according to GLES specs). When false, becomes more practical if manipulating by hand (i.e. ETC1's subregions can be updated just fine by @bulkCompressedSubregion)

Returns: The width of compression block, in pixels. Can be 0 (see remarks). If format is not compressed, returns 1.

◆ getFlags()

static unsigned int Ogre::PixelUtil::getFlags ( PixelFormat format )

static

Returns the property flags for this pixel format.

Returns: A bitfield combination of PFF_HASALPHA, PFF_ISCOMPRESSED, PFF_FLOAT, PFF_DEPTH, PFF_NATIVEENDIAN, PFF_LUMINANCE

Remarks: This replaces the separate functions for formatHasAlpha, formatIsFloat, ...

◆ getFormatForBitDepths()

static PixelFormat Ogre::PixelUtil::getFormatForBitDepths	(	PixelFormat	fmt,
		ushort	integerBits,
		ushort	floatBits
	)

static

Returns the similar format but acoording with given bit depths.

Parameters

fmt	The original foamt.
integerBits	Preferred bit depth (pixel bits) for integer pixel format. Available values: 0, 16 and 32, where 0 (the default) means as it is.
floatBits	Preferred bit depth (channel bits) for float pixel format. Available values: 0, 16 and 32, where 0 (the default) means as it is.

Returns: The format that similar original format with bit depth according with preferred bit depth, or original format if no conversion occurring.

◆ getFormatFromName()

static PixelFormat Ogre::PixelUtil::getFormatFromName	(	const String &	name,
		bool	accessibleOnly = `false`,
		bool	caseSensitive = `false`
	)
