Detailed Description

Implementation of NULL as a rendering system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NULLRenderSystem()

Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::NULLRenderSystem ( )

◆ ~NULLRenderSystem()

Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::~NULLRenderSystem ( )
override

Member Function Documentation

◆ _beginFrame()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_beginFrame ( )
overridevirtual

Signifies the beginning of a frame, i.e.

the start of rendering on a single viewport. Will occur several times per complete frame if multiple viewports exist.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _convertProjectionMatrix()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_convertProjectionMatrix ( const Matrix4 matrix,
Matrix4 dest 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Converts a uniform projection matrix to suitable for this render system.

Remarks
Because different APIs have different requirements (some incompatible) for the projection matrix, this method allows each to implement their own correctly and pass back a generic OGRE matrix for storage in the engine.

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _createRenderWindow()

Window* Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_createRenderWindow ( const String name,
uint32  width,
uint32  height,
bool  fullScreen,
const NameValuePairList miscParams = 0 
)
overridevirtual

Creates a new rendering window.

Remarks
This method creates a new rendering window as specified by the paramteters. The rendering system could be responible for only a single window (e.g. in the case of a game), or could be in charge of multiple ones (in the case of a level editor). The option to create the window as a child of another is therefore given. This method will create an appropriate subclass of RenderWindow depending on the API and platform implementation.
After creation, this window can be retrieved using getRenderTarget().
Parameters
nameThe name of the window. Used in other methods later like setRenderTarget and getRenderTarget.
widthThe width of the new window.
heightThe height of the new window.
fullScreenSpecify true to make the window full screen without borders, title bar or menu bar.
miscParamsA NameValuePairList describing the other parameters for the new rendering window. Options are case sensitive. Unrecognised parameters will be ignored silently. These values might be platform dependent, but these are present for all platforms unless indicated otherwise:
Key Type/Values Default Description Notes
title Any string RenderTarget name The title of the window that will appear in the title bar  
colourDepth 16, 32 Desktop depth Colour depth of the resulting rendering window; only applies if fullScreen Win32 Specific
left Positive integers Centred Screen x coordinate from left  
top Positive integers Centred Screen y coordinate from left  
depthBuffer true, false true Use depth buffer DirectX9 specific
externalWindowHandle Win32: HWND as integer
GLX: poslong:posint:poslong (display*:screen:windowHandle) or poslong:posint:poslong:poslong (display*:screen:windowHandle:XVisualInfo*)
OS X Cocoa: OgreGLView address as an integer. You can pass NSView or NSWindow too, but should perform OgreGLView callbacks into the Ogre manually. iOS: UIWindow address as an integer
0 (none) External window handle, for embedding the OGRE render in an existing window  
externalGLControl true, false false Let the external window control OpenGL i.e. don't select a pixel format for the window, do not change v-sync and do not swap buffer. When set to true, the calling application is responsible of OpenGL initialization and buffer swapping. It should also create an OpenGL context for its own rendering, Ogre will create one for its use. Then the calling application must also enable Ogre OpenGL context before calling any Ogre function and restore its OpenGL context after these calls. OpenGL specific
externalGLContext Context as Unsigned Long 0 (create own context) Use an externally created GL context OpenGL Specific
parentWindowHandle Win32: HWND as integer
GLX: poslong:posint:poslong (display*:screen:windowHandle) or poslong:posint:poslong:poslong (display*:screen:windowHandle:XVisualInfo*)
0 (none) Parent window handle, for embedding the OGRE in a child of an external window  
contentScalingFactor Positive Float greater than 1.0 The default content scaling factor of the screen Specifies the CAEAGLLayer content scaling factor. Only supported on iOS 4 or greater. This can be useful to limit the resolution of the OpenGL ES backing store. For example, the iPhone 4's native resolution is 960 x 640. Windows are always 320 x 480, if you would like to limit the display to 720 x 480, specify 1.5 as the scaling factor. iOS Specific  
externalViewHandle UIView pointer as an integer 0 External view handle, for rendering OGRE render in an existing view iOS Specific  
externalViewControllerHandle UIViewController pointer as an integer 0 External view controller handle, for embedding OGRE in an existing view controller iOS Specific  
externalSharegroup EAGLSharegroup pointer as an integer 0 External sharegroup, used to shared GL resources between contexts iOS Specific  
Full Screen true, false false Specify whether to create the window in full screen mode OS X Specific  
MSAA Positive integer (usually 1, 2, 4, 8, 16) 1 Multisample antialiasing factor  
MSAA_Quality Depends on RenderSystem and hardware. Currently supports:
0 ... infinite number (depends on HW)
Blank Full screen antialiasing hint  
displayFrequency Refresh rate in Hertz (e.g. 60, 75, 100) Desktop vsync rate Display frequency rate, for fullscreen mode  
vsync true, false false Synchronize buffer swaps to monitor vsync, eliminating tearing at the expense of a fixed frame rate  
vsyncInterval 1, 2, 3, 4 1 If vsync is enabled, the minimum number of vertical blanks that should occur between renders. For example if vsync is enabled, the refresh rate is 60 and this is set to 2, then the frame rate will be locked at 30.  
border none, fixed, resize resize The type of window border (in windowed mode)  
outerDimensions true, false false Whether the width/height is expressed as the size of the outer window, rather than the content area  
useNVPerfHUD true, false false Enable the use of nVidia NVPerfHUD  
gamma true, false false Enable hardware conversion from linear colour space to gamma colour space on rendering to the window.  
enableDoubleClick true, false false Enable the window to keep track and transmit double click messages. Win32 Specific
MSAA Positive integer (usually 0, 2, 4, 8, 16) 0 Full screen antialiasing factor Android Specific
CSAA Positive integer (usually 0, 2, 4, 8, 16) 0 Coverage sampling factor (https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/extensions/NV/EGL_NV_coverage_sample.txt) Android Specific
maxColourBufferSize Positive integer (usually 16, 32) 32 Max EGL_BUFFER_SIZE Android Specific
minColourBufferSize Positive integer (usually 16, 32) 16 Min EGL_BUFFER_SIZE Android Specific
maxStencilBufferSize Positive integer (usually 0, 8) 0 EGL_STENCIL_SIZE Android Specific
maxDepthBufferSize Positive integer (usually 0, 16, 24) 16 EGL_DEPTH_SIZE Android Specific

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _dispatch()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_dispatch ( const HlmsComputePso pso)
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _endFrame()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_endFrame ( )
overridevirtual

Ends rendering of a frame to the current viewport.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

Window* Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_initialise ( bool  autoCreateWindow,
const String windowTitle = "OGRE Render Window" 
)
overridevirtual

Parameters
autoCreateWindowIf true, creates a render window automatically, based on settings chosen so far. This saves an extra call to _createRenderWindow for the main render window.
windowTitleSets the app window title
Returns
A pointer to the automatically created window, if requested, otherwise null.

overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _render() [3/4]

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_render ( const v1::CbDrawCallIndexed cmd)
overridevirtual

Renders a V1 RenderOperation. Assumes _setRenderOperation has already been called.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _render() [4/4]

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_render ( const v1::CbDrawCallStrip cmd)
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _renderEmulated() [1/2]

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_renderEmulated ( const CbDrawCallIndexed cmd)
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _renderEmulated() [2/2]

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_renderEmulated ( const CbDrawCallStrip cmd)
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setComputePso()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setComputePso ( const HlmsComputePso pso)
overridevirtual

Unlike _setPipelineStateObject, the RenderSystem will check if the PSO has changed to avoid redundant state changes (since it's hard to do it at Hlms level)

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setCurrentDeviceFromTexture()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setCurrentDeviceFromTexture ( TextureGpu texture)
overridevirtual

Because Ogre doesn't (yet) have the notion of a 'device' or 'GL context', this function lets Ogre know which device should be used by providing a texture.

Parameters
textureCannot be null.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setHlmsSamplerblock()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setHlmsSamplerblock ( uint8  texUnit,
const HlmsSamplerblock Samplerblock 
)
overridevirtual

See HlmsSamplerblock.

This function MUST be called after _setTexture, not before. Otherwise not all APIs may see the change.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setIndirectBuffer()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setIndirectBuffer ( IndirectBufferPacked indirectBuffer)
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setPipelineStateObject()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setPipelineStateObject ( const HlmsPso pso)
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setPointParameters()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setPointParameters ( Real  size,
bool  attenuationEnabled,
Real  constant,
Real  linear,
Real  quadratic,
Real  minSize,
Real  maxSize 
)
overridevirtual

Sets the size of points and how they are attenuated with distance.

Remarks
When performing point rendering or point sprite rendering, point size can be attenuated with distance. The equation for doing this is attenuation = 1 / (constant + linear * dist + quadratic * d^2) .
For example, to disable distance attenuation (constant screensize) you would set constant to 1, and linear and quadratic to 0. A standard perspective attenuation would be 0, 1, 0 respectively.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setPointSpritesEnabled()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setPointSpritesEnabled ( bool  enabled)
overridevirtual

◆ _setSurfaceParams()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setSurfaceParams ( const ColourValue ambient,
const ColourValue diffuse,
const ColourValue specular,
const ColourValue emissive,
Real  shininess,
TrackVertexColourType  tracking = TVC_NONE 
)
overridevirtual

Sets the surface properties to be used for future rendering.

This method sets the the properties of the surfaces of objects to be rendered after it. In this context these surface properties are the amount of each type of light the object reflects (determining it's colour under different types of light), whether it emits light itself, and how shiny it is. Textures are not dealt with here, see the _setTetxure method for details. This method is used by _setMaterial so does not need to be called direct if that method is being used.

Parameters
ambientThe amount of ambient (sourceless and directionless) light an object reflects. Affected by the colour/amount of ambient light in the scene.
diffuseThe amount of light from directed sources that is reflected (affected by colour/amount of point, directed and spot light sources)
specularThe amount of specular light reflected. This is also affected by directed light sources but represents the colour at the highlights of the object.
emissiveThe colour of light emitted from the object. Note that this will make an object seem brighter and not dependent on lights in the scene, but it will not act as a light, so will not illuminate other objects. Use a light attached to the same SceneNode as the object for this purpose.
shininessA value which only has an effect on specular highlights (so specular must be non-black). The higher this value, the smaller and crisper the specular highlights will be, imitating a more highly polished surface. This value is not constrained to 0.0-1.0, in fact it is likely to be more (10.0 gives a modest sheen to an object).
trackingA bit field that describes which of the ambient, diffuse, specular and emissive colours follow the vertex colour of the primitive. When a bit in this field is set its ColourValue is ignored. This is a combination of TVC_AMBIENT, TVC_DIFFUSE, TVC_SPECULAR(note that the shininess value is still taken from shininess) and TVC_EMISSIVE. TVC_NONE means that there will be no material property tracking the vertex colours.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setTexture()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setTexture ( size_t  unit,
TextureGpu texPtr,
bool  bDepthReadOnly 
)
overridevirtual

Sets the texture to bind to a given texture unit.

User processes would not normally call this direct unless rendering primitives themselves.

Parameters
unitThe index of the texture unit to modify. Multitexturing hardware can support multiple units (see RenderSystemCapabilites::getNumTextureUnits)
enabledBoolean to turn the unit on/off
texPtrPointer to the texture to use.
bDepthReadOnlytrue if the texture is also attached as a depth buffer but is read only

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setTextureBlendMode()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setTextureBlendMode ( size_t  unit,
const LayerBlendModeEx bm 
)

bmDetails of the blending mode

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setTextureCoordCalculation()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setTextureCoordCalculation ( size_t  unit,
TexCoordCalcMethod  m,

const DescriptorSetTexture set,
uint32  hazardousTexIdx 
)
overridevirtual
Parameters

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_setVertexArrayObject ( const VertexArrayObject vao)
overridevirtual

Part of the low level rendering interface.

Tells the RS which VAO will be bound now. (i.e. Vertex Formats, buffers being bound, etc.) You don't need to rebind if the VAO's mRenderQueueId is the same as previous call.

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::_useLights ( const LightList lights,
unsigned short  limit 
)
overridevirtual

Tells the rendersystem to use the attached set of lights (and no others) up to the number specified (this allows the same list to be used with different count limits)

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ beginGPUSampleProfile()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::beginGPUSampleProfile ( const String name,
uint32 hashCache 
)
overridevirtual

TextureGpu anyTarget,
uint8  mipLevel 
)
overridevirtual

Immediately clears the whole frame buffer on the selected RenderPassDescriptor.

Prefer clearing using the LoadAction semantics in the RenderPassDescriptor. This function is provided for two reasons:

  1. Backwards compatibility (i.e. easier porting from 2.1)
  2. Non-tilers desktop GPUs may be faster to clear the whole framebuffer at once.
    Remarks

◆ getConfigOptions()

ConfigOptionMap& Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::getConfigOptions ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the details of this API's configuration options.

Remarks
Each render system must be able to inform the world of what options must/can be specified for it's operation.
These are passed as strings for portability, but grouped into a structure (_ConfigOption) which includes both options and current value.
Note that the settings returned from this call are affected by the options that have been set so far, since some options are interdependent.
This routine is called automatically by the default configuration dialogue produced by Root::showConfigDialog or may be used by the caller for custom settings dialogs

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ getMaximumDepthInputValue()

Real Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::getMaximumDepthInputValue ( )
overridevirtual

Gets the maximum (farthest) depth value to be used when rendering using identity transforms.

Remarks

◆ getVerticalTexelOffset()

Real Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::getVerticalTexelOffset ( )
overridevirtual

Returns the vertical texel offset value required for mapping texel origins to pixel origins in this rendersystem.

Remarks
Since rendersystems sometimes disagree on the origin of a texel, mapping from texels to pixels can sometimes be problematic to implement generically. This method allows you to retrieve the offset required to map the origin of a texel to the origin of a pixel in the vertical direction.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ hasAnisotropicMipMapFilter()

bool Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::hasAnisotropicMipMapFilter ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

overridevirtual

Initialize the render system from the capabilities.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ markProfileEvent()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::markProfileEvent ( const String event)

◆ postExtraThreadsStarted()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::postExtraThreadsStarted ( )
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ preExtraThreadsStarted()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::preExtraThreadsStarted ( )
overridevirtual

Tell the rendersystem to perform any prep tasks it needs to directly before other threads which might access the rendering API are registered.

Remarks
Call this from your main thread before starting your other threads (which themselves should call registerThread()). Note that if you start your own threads, there is a specific startup sequence which must be respected and requires synchronisation between the threads:
  1. [Main thread]Call preExtraThreadsStarted
  2. [Main thread]Start other thread, wait
  3. [Other thread]Call registerThread, notify main thread & continue
  4. [Main thread]Wake up & call postExtraThreadsStarted
Once this init sequence is completed the threads are independent but this startup sequence must be respected.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ registerThread()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::registerThread ( )
overridevirtual

Register the an additional thread which may make calls to rendersystem-related objects.

Remarks
This method should only be called by additional threads during their initialisation. If they intend to use hardware rendering system resources they should call this method before doing anything related to the render system. Some rendering APIs require a per-thread setup and this method will sort that out. It is also necessary to call unregisterThread before the thread shuts down.
Note
This method takes no parameters - it must be called from the thread being registered and that context is enough.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ reinitialise()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::reinitialise ( )
overridevirtual

Restart the renderer (normally following a change in settings).

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ setClipPlanesImpl()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::setClipPlanesImpl ( const PlaneList clipPlanes)
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ setConfigOption()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::setConfigOption ( const String name,
const String value 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Sets an option for this API.

Remarks
Used to confirm the settings (normally chosen by the user) in order to make the renderer able to initialise with the settings as required. This may be video mode, D3D driver, full screen / windowed etc. Called automatically by the default configuration dialog, and by the restoration of saved settings. These settings are stored and only activated when RenderSystem::initialise or RenderSystem::reinitialise are called.
If using a custom configuration dialog, it is advised that the caller calls RenderSystem::getConfigOptions again, since some options can alter resulting from a selection.
Parameters
nameThe name of the option to alter.
valueThe value to set the option to.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ shutdown()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::shutdown ( )
overridevirtual

Shutdown the renderer and cleanup resources.

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ unregisterThread()

void Ogre::NULLRenderSystem::unregisterThread ( )
overridevirtual

Unregister an additional thread which may make calls to rendersystem-related objects.

See also
RenderSystem::registerThread

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ validateConfigOptions()
