Detailed Description

Represents a layer which is rendered on top of the 'normal' scene contents.

Remarks
An overlay is a container for visual components (2D and 3D) which will be rendered after the main scene in order to composite heads-up-displays, menus or other layers on top of the contents of the scene.
An overlay always takes up the entire size of the viewport, although the components attached to it do not have to. An overlay has no visual element in itself, it it merely a container for visual elements.
Overlays are created by calling OverlayManager::create, or by defining them in special text scripts (.overlay files). As many overlays as you like can be defined; after creation an overlay is hidden i.e. not visible until you specifically enable it by calling 'show'. This allows you to have multiple overlays predefined (menus etc) which you make visible only when you want. It is possible to have multiple overlays enabled at once; in this case the relative 'zorder' parameter of the overlays determine which one is displayed on top.
By default overlays are rendered into all viewports. This is fine when you only have fullscreen viewports, but if you have picture-in-picture views, you probably don't want the overlay displayed in the smaller viewports. You turn this off for a specific viewport by calling the Viewport::setDisplayOverlays method.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Overlay2DElementsIterator

Returns an iterator over all 2D elements in this manager.

Remarks
VectorIterator is actually a too generic name, since it also works for lists.

◆ OverlayContainerList

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Overlay()

Ogre::v1::Overlay::Overlay ( const String name,
IdType  id,
ObjectMemoryManager objectMemoryManager,
uint8  renderQueueId 
)

Constructor: do not call direct, use OverlayManager::create.

◆ ~Overlay()

Ogre::v1::Overlay::~Overlay ( )
override

Member Function Documentation

◆ _getWorldTransforms()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::_getWorldTransforms ( Matrix4 xform) const

Used to transform the overlay when scrolling, scaling etc.

◆ _notifyOrigin()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::_notifyOrigin ( const String origin)
inline

Notify this overlay of it's origin.

◆ _updateRenderQueue()

virtual void Ogre::v1::Overlay::_updateRenderQueue ( RenderQueue queue,
Camera camera,
const Camera lodCamera,
Viewport vp 
)
virtual

Internal method to put the overlay contents onto the render queue.

◆ add2D()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::add2D ( OverlayContainer cont)

Adds a 2D 'container' to the overlay.

Remarks
Containers are created and managed using the OverlayManager. A container could be as simple as a square panel, or something more complex like a grid or tree view. Containers group collections of other elements, giving them a relative coordinate space and a common z-order. If you want to attach a GUI widget to an overlay, you have to do it via a container.
Parameters
contPointer to a container to add, created using OverlayManager.

◆ clear()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::clear ( )

Clears the overlay of all attached items.

◆ findElementAt()

virtual OverlayElement* Ogre::v1::Overlay::findElementAt ( Real  x,
Real  y 
)
virtual

This returns a OverlayElement at position x,y.

◆ get2DElementsIterator()

◆ getOrigin()

const String& Ogre::v1::Overlay::getOrigin ( ) const
inline

Get the origin of this overlay, e.g.

Remarks
This property will only contain something if the creator of this overlay chose to populate it. Script loaders are advised to populate it.

◆ getRotate()

const Radian& Ogre::v1::Overlay::getRotate ( ) const
inline

Gets the rotation applied to this overlay, in degrees.

◆ getScaleX()

bool Ogre::v1::Overlay::isInitialised ( ) const
inline

Gets whether the overlay is initialised or not.

◆ remove2D()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::remove2D ( OverlayContainer cont)

Removes a 2D container from the overlay.

Remarks
NOT FAST. Consider OverlayElement::hide.

◆ rotate()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::rotate ( const Radian angle)

Adds the passed in angle to the rotation applied to this overlay.

◆ scroll()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::scroll ( Real  xoff,
Real  yoff

Scrolls the overlay by the offsets provided.

Remarks
This method moves the overlay by the amounts provided. As with other methods on this object, a full screen width / height is represented by the value 1.0.

◆ setRotate()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::setRotate ( const Radian angle)

Sets the rotation applied to this overlay.

◆ setScale()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::setScale ( Real  x,
Real  y 
)

Sets the scaling factor of this overlay.

Remarks
You can use this to set an scale factor to be used to zoom an overlay.
Parameters
xHorizontal scale value, where 1.0 = normal, 0.5 = half size etc
yVertical scale value, where 1.0 = normal, 0.5 = half size etc

◆ setScroll()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::setScroll ( Real  x,
Real  y 
)

Sets the scrolling factor of this overlay.

Remarks
You can use this to set an offset to be used to scroll an overlay around the screen.
Parameters
xHorizontal scroll value, where 0 = normal, -0.5 = scroll so that only the right half the screen is visible etc
yVertical scroll value, where 0 = normal, 0.5 = scroll down by half a screen etc.

◆ setZOrder()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::setZOrder ( uint16  zorder)

Alters the Z-order of this overlay.

Remarks
Values between 0 and 2^DepthBits - 1 are valid here. DepthBits is defined in RenderQueue.cpp

◆ show()

void Ogre::v1::Overlay::show ( )

Shows the overlay if it was hidden.
