Detailed Description

Abstract class representing a Texture resource.

Remarks
The actual concrete subclass which will exist for a texture is dependent on the rendering system in use (Direct3D, OpenGL etc). This class represents the commonalities, and is the one 'used' by programmers even though the real implementation could be different in reality. Texture objects are created through the 'create' method of the TextureManager concrete subclass.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setTextureType()

void Ogre::Texture::setTextureType ( TextureType  ttype)
inline

Sets the type of texture; can only be changed before load()

◆ getTextureType()

TextureType Ogre::Texture::getTextureType ( void  ) const
inline

Gets the type of texture.

◆ getNumMipmaps()

uint32 Ogre::Texture::getNumMipmaps ( void  ) const
inline

Gets the number of mipmaps to be used for this texture.

◆ setNumMipmaps()

void Ogre::Texture::setNumMipmaps ( uint32  num)
inline

Sets the number of mipmaps to be used for this texture.

Note
Must be set before calling any 'load' method.

◆ getMipmapsHardwareGenerated()

bool Ogre::Texture::getMipmapsHardwareGenerated ( void  ) const
inline

Are mipmaps hardware generated?

Remarks
Will only be accurate after texture load, or createInternalResources

◆ getGamma()

float Ogre::Texture::getGamma ( void  ) const
inline

Returns the gamma adjustment factor applied to this texture on loading.

◆ setGamma()

void Ogre::Texture::setGamma ( float  g)
inline

Sets the gamma adjustment factor applied to this texture on loading the data.

Note
Must be called before any 'load' method. This gamma factor will be premultiplied in and may reduce the precision of your textures. You can use setHardwareGamma if supported to apply gamma on sampling the texture instead.

◆ setHardwareGammaEnabled()

void Ogre::Texture::setHardwareGammaEnabled ( bool  enabled)
inline

Sets whether this texture will be set up so that on sampling it, hardware gamma correction is applied.

Remarks
24-bit textures are often saved in gamma colour space; this preserves precision in the 'darks'. However, if you're performing blending on the sampled colours, you really want to be doing it in linear space. One way is to apply a gamma correction value on loading (see setGamma), but this means you lose precision in those dark colours. An alternative is to get the hardware to do the gamma correction when reading the texture and converting it to a floating point value for the rest of the pipeline. This option allows you to do that; it's only supported in relatively recent hardware (others will ignore it) but can improve the quality of colour reproduction.
Note
Must be called before any 'load' method since it may affect the construction of the underlying hardware resources. Also note this only useful on textures using 8-bit colour channels.

◆ isHardwareGammaEnabled()

bool Ogre::Texture::isHardwareGammaEnabled ( ) const
inline

inline

Sets the TextureUsage identifier for this Texture; only useful before load()

Parameters
uis a combination of TU_STATIC, TU_DYNAMIC, TU_WRITE_ONLY TU_AUTOMIPMAP and TU_RENDERTARGET (see TextureUsage enum). You are strongly advised to use HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY wherever possible, if you need to update regularly, consider HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY.

◆ createInternalResources()

void Ogre::Texture::createInternalResources ( void  )

Creates the internal texture resources for this texture.

Remarks
This method creates the internal texture resources (pixel buffers, texture surfaces etc) required to begin using this texture. You do not need to call this method directly unless you are manually creating a texture, in which case something must call it, after having set the size and format of the texture (e.g. the ManualResourceLoader might be the best one to call it). If you are not defining a manual texture, or if you use one of the self-contained load...() methods, then it will be called for you.

Reimplemented in Ogre::D3D9Texture, and Ogre::D3D11Texture.

◆ loadImage()

void Ogre::Texture::loadImage ( const Image img)

Loads the data from an image.

Attention
only call this from outside the load() routine of a Resource. Don't call it within (including ManualResourceLoader) - use _loadImages() instead. This method is designed to be external, performs locking and checks the load status before loading.

◆ loadRawData()

void Ogre::Texture::loadRawData ( DataStreamPtr stream,
ushort  uWidth,
ushort  uHeight,
PixelFormat  eFormat 
)

Loads the data from a raw stream.

Attention
only call this from outside the load() routine of a Resource. Don't call it within (including ManualResourceLoader) - use _loadImages() instead. This method is designed to be external, performs locking and checks the load status before loading.
Parameters
streamData stream containing the raw pixel data
uWidthWidth of the image
uHeightHeight of the image
eFormatThe format of the pixel data

◆ _loadImages()

void Ogre::Texture::_loadImages ( const ConstImagePtrList images)

Internal method to load the texture from a set of images.

Attention
Do NOT call this method unless you are inside the load() routine already, e.g. a ManualResourceLoader. It is not threadsafe and does not check or update resource loading status.

◆ getFormat()

PixelFormat Ogre::Texture::getFormat ( ) const
inline

Returns the pixel format for the texture surface.

◆ getDesiredFormat()

PixelFormat Ogre::Texture::getDesiredFormat ( void  ) const
inline

Returns the desired pixel format for the texture surface.

bool Ogre::Texture::hasAlpha ( void  ) const

Returns true if the texture has an alpha layer.

◆ setDesiredIntegerBitDepth()

void Ogre::Texture::setDesiredIntegerBitDepth ( ushort  bits)

Sets desired bit depth for integer pixel format textures.

Available values: 0, 16 and 32, where 0 (the default) means keep original format as it is. This value is number of bits for the pixel.

◆ getDesiredIntegerBitDepth()

ushort Ogre::Texture::getDesiredIntegerBitDepth ( void  ) const

gets desired bit depth for integer pixel format textures.

◆ setDesiredFloatBitDepth()

void Ogre::Texture::setDesiredFloatBitDepth ( ushort  bits)

Sets desired bit depth for float pixel format textures.

Available values: 0, 16 and 32, where 0 (the default) means keep original format as it is. This value is number of bits for a channel of the pixel.

◆ getDesiredFloatBitDepth()

ushort Ogre::Texture::getDesiredFloatBitDepth ( void  ) const

gets desired bit depth for float pixel format textures.

◆ setDesiredBitDepths()

void Ogre::Texture::setDesiredBitDepths ( ushort  integerBits,
ushort  floatBits 
)

Sets desired bit depth for integer and float pixel format.

◆ setTreatLuminanceAsAlpha()

void Ogre::Texture::setTreatLuminanceAsAlpha ( bool  asAlpha)

specify that a single channel (luminance) texture should be loaded as alpha

rather than the default which is to load it into the red channel. This can be helpful if you want to use alpha-only textures in the fixed function pipeline.

◆ getTreatLuminanceAsAlpha()

bool Ogre::Texture::getTreatLuminanceAsAlpha ( void  ) const

Gets whether luminace pixel format will treated as alpha format when load this texture.

◆ getNumFaces()

size_t Ogre::Texture::getNumFaces ( ) const

Return the number of faces this texture has.

This will be 6 for a cubemap texture and 1 for a 1D, 2D or 3D one.

◆ getBuffer()

virtual HardwarePixelBufferSharedPtr Ogre::Texture::getBuffer ( size_t  face = 0,
size_t  mipmap = 0 
)
virtual

Return hardware pixel buffer for a surface.

This buffer can then be used to copy data from and to a particular level of the texture.

Parameters
faceFace number, in case of a cubemap texture. Must be 0 for other types of textures. For cubemaps, this is one of +X (0), -X (1), +Y (2), -Y (3), +Z (4), -Z (5)
mipmapMipmap level. This goes from 0 for the first, largest mipmap level to getNumMipmaps()-1 for the smallest.
Returns
A shared pointer to a hardware pixel buffer.
Remarks
The buffer is invalidated when the resource is unloaded or destroyed. Do not use it after the lifetime of the containing texture.

Reimplemented in Ogre::D3D9Texture.

◆ convertToImage()

void Ogre::Texture::convertToImage ( Image destImage,
bool  includeMipMaps = false 
)

Populate an Image with the contents of this texture.

pDataPointer to memory matching the type of data you want to retrieve.

Reimplemented in Ogre::GLTextureCommon.

◆ getCustomAttribute() [2/2]

uint Ogre::Texture::getCustomAttribute ( const String name)
inline

simplified API for bindings

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

◆ createShaderAccessPoint() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::Texture::createShaderAccessPoint ( uint  bindPoint,
TextureAccess  access = TA_READ_WRITE,
int  mipmapLevel = 0,
int  textureArrayIndex = 0,
PixelFormat  format = PF_UNKNOWN 
)
inlinevirtual

Enable read and/or write privileges to the texture from shaders.

Parameters
bindPointThe buffer binding location for shader access. For OpenGL this must be unique and is not related to the texture binding point.
accessThe texture access privileges given to the shader.
mipmapLevelThe texture mipmap level to use.
textureArrayIndexThe index of the texture array to use. If texture is not a texture array, set to 0.
formatTexture format to be read in by shader. For OpenGL this may be different than the bound texture format.

Reimplemented in Ogre::GL3PlusTexture.

◆ createShaderAccessPoint() [2/2]

void Ogre::Texture::createShaderAccessPoint ( uint  bindPoint,
TextureAccess  access,
int  mipmapLevel,
int  textureArrayIndex,
PixelFormat format 
)
inline

◆ setLayerNames()

void Ogre::Texture::setLayerNames ( const std::vector< String > &  names)
inline

Set image names to be loaded as layers (3d & texture array) or cubemap faces.

◆ prepare()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::prepare ( bool  backgroundThread = false)
virtualinherited

Prepares the resource for load, if it is not already.

One can call prepare() before load(), but this is not required as load() will call prepare() itself, if needed. When OGRE_THREAD_SUPPORT==1 both load() and prepare() are thread-safe. When OGRE_THREAD_SUPPORT==2 however, only prepare() is thread-safe. The reason for this function is to allow a background thread to do some of the loading work, without requiring the whole render system to be thread-safe. The background thread would call prepare() while the main render loop would later call load(). So long as prepare() remains thread-safe, subclasses can arbitrarily split the work of loading a resource between load() and prepare(). It is best to try and do as much work in prepare(), however, since this will leave less work for the main render thread to do and thus increase FPS.

Parameters
backgroundThreadWhether this is occurring in a background thread

◆ load()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::load ( bool  backgroundThread = false)
virtualinherited

Loads the resource, if it is not already.

Remarks
If the resource is loaded from a file, loading is automatic. If not, if for example this resource gained it's data from procedural calls rather than loading from a file, then this resource will not reload on it's own.
Parameters
backgroundThreadIndicates whether the caller of this method is the background resource loading thread.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ reload()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::reload ( LoadingFlags  flags = LF_DEFAULT)
virtualinherited

Reloads the resource, if it is already loaded.

Remarks
Calls unload() and then load() again, if the resource is already loaded. If it is not loaded already, then nothing happens.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Mesh, and Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ isReloadable()

virtual bool Ogre::Resource::isReloadable ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns true if the Resource is reloadable, false otherwise.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ isManuallyLoaded()

virtual bool Ogre::Resource::isManuallyLoaded ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Is this resource manually loaded?

◆ unload()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::unload ( void  )
virtualinherited

Unloads the resource; this is not permanent, the resource can be reloaded later if required.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ getSize()

virtual size_t Ogre::Resource::getSize ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Retrieves info about the size of the resource.

Reimplemented in Ogre::CgProgram, and Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ touch()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::touch ( void  )
virtualinherited

'Touches' the resource to indicate it has been used.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Material, Ogre::CgProgram, and Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

Referenced by Ogre::Material::touch().

◆ getName()

virtual const String& Ogre::Resource::getName ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

◆ getHandle()

virtual ResourceHandle Ogre::Resource::getHandle ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Reimplemented in Ogre::SkeletonInstance.

◆ isPrepared()

virtual bool Ogre::Resource::isPrepared ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns true if the Resource has been prepared, false otherwise.

◆ isLoaded()

virtual bool Ogre::Resource::isLoaded ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns true if the Resource has been loaded, false otherwise.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ isLoading()

virtual bool Ogre::Resource::isLoading ( ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns whether the resource is currently in the process of background loading.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ getLoadingState()

virtual LoadingState Ogre::Resource::getLoadingState ( ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns the current loading state.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ isBackgroundLoaded()

virtual bool Ogre::Resource::isBackgroundLoaded ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns whether this Resource has been earmarked for background loading.

Remarks
This option only makes sense when you have built Ogre with thread support (OGRE_THREAD_SUPPORT). If a resource has been marked for background loading, then it won't load on demand like normal when load() is called. Instead, it will ignore request to load() except if the caller indicates it is the background loader. Any other users of this resource should check isLoaded(), and if that returns false, don't use the resource and come back later.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ setBackgroundLoaded()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::setBackgroundLoaded ( bool  bl)
inlinevirtualinherited

Tells the resource whether it is background loaded or not.

See also
Resource::isBackgroundLoaded. Note that calling this only defers the normal on-demand loading behaviour of a resource, it does not actually set up a thread to make sure the resource gets loaded in the background. You should use ResourceBackgroundLoadingQueue to manage the actual loading (which will call this method itself).

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ escalateLoading()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::escalateLoading ( )
virtualinherited

Escalates the loading of a background loaded resource.

Remarks
If a resource is set to load in the background, but something needs it before it's been loaded, there could be a problem. If the user of this resource really can't wait, they can escalate the loading which basically pulls the loading into the current thread immediately. If the resource is already being loaded but just hasn't quite finished then this method will simply wait until the background load is complete.

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ addListener()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::addListener ( Listener lis)
virtualinherited

Register a listener on this resource.

See also
Resource::Listener

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ removeListener()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::removeListener ( Listener lis)
virtualinherited

Remove a listener on this resource.

See also
Resource::Listener

Reimplemented in Ogre::UnifiedHighLevelGpuProgram.

◆ getGroup()

virtual const String& Ogre::Resource::getGroup ( void  ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Gets the group which this resource is a member of.

Reimplemented in Ogre::SkeletonInstance.

◆ changeGroupOwnership()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::changeGroupOwnership ( const String newGroup)
virtualinherited

Change the resource group ownership of a Resource.

Remarks
This method is generally reserved for internal use, although if you really know what you're doing you can use it to move this resource from one group to another.
Parameters
newGroupName of the new group

◆ getCreator()

ResourceManager* Ogre::Resource::getCreator ( void  )
inlineinherited

Gets the manager which created this resource.

◆ getOrigin()

const String& Ogre::Resource::getOrigin ( void  ) const
inlineinherited

Get the origin of this resource, e.g.

a script file name.

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

◆ _notifyOrigin()

void Ogre::Resource::_notifyOrigin ( const String origin)
inlineinherited

Notify this resource of it's origin.

◆ getStateCount()

virtual size_t Ogre::Resource::getStateCount ( ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns the number of times this resource has changed state, which generally means the number of times it has been loaded.

Objects that build derived data based on the resource can check this value against a copy they kept last time they built this derived data, in order to know whether it needs rebuilding. This is a nice way of monitoring changes without having a tightly-bound callback.

◆ _dirtyState()

virtual void Ogre::Resource::_dirtyState ( )
virtualinherited

Manually mark the state of this resource as having been changed.

Remarks
You only need to call this from outside if you explicitly want derived objects to think this object has changed.
See also
getStateCount.

◆ _fireLoadingComplete()

void Ogre::Resource::_fireLoadingComplete ( bool  wasBackgroundLoaded)
inherited

Firing of loading complete event.

Remarks
You should call this from the thread that runs the main frame loop to avoid having to make the receivers of this event thread-safe. If you use Ogre's built in frame loop you don't need to call this yourself.
Parameters
wasBackgroundLoadedWhether this was a background loaded event

◆ _firePreparingComplete()

void Ogre::Resource::_firePreparingComplete ( bool  wasBackgroundLoaded)
inherited

Firing of preparing complete event.

Remarks
You should call this from the thread that runs the main frame loop to avoid having to make the receivers of this event thread-safe. If you use Ogre's built in frame loop you don't need to call this yourself.
Parameters
wasBackgroundLoadedWhether this was a background loaded event

◆ _fireUnloadingComplete()

void Ogre::Resource::_fireUnloadingComplete ( void  )
inherited

Firing of unloading complete event.

Remarks
You should call this from the thread that runs the main frame loop to avoid having to make the receivers of this event thread-safe. If you use Ogre's built in frame loop you don't need to call this yourself.

◆ getParamDictionary() [1/2]

ParamDictionary* Ogre::StringInterface::getParamDictionary ( void  )
inlineinherited

Retrieves the parameter dictionary for this class.

Remarks
Only valid to call this after createParamDictionary.
Returns
Pointer to ParamDictionary shared by all instances of this class which you can add parameters to, retrieve parameters etc.

◆ getParamDictionary() [2/2]

const ParamDictionary* Ogre::StringInterface::getParamDictionary ( void  ) const
inlineinherited

◆ getParameters()

const ParameterList& Ogre::StringInterface::getParameters ( void  ) const
inherited

Retrieves a list of parameters valid for this object.

Returns
A reference to a static list of ParameterDef objects.

◆ setParameter()

bool Ogre::StringInterface::setParameter ( const String name,
const String value 
)
inherited

Generic parameter setting method.

Remarks
Call this method with the name of a parameter and a string version of the value to set. The implementor will convert the string to a native type internally. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from StringInterface::getParameters.
Parameters
nameThe name of the parameter to set
valueString value. Must be in the right format for the type specified in the parameter definition. See the StringConverter class for more information.
Returns
true if set was successful, false otherwise (NB no exceptions thrown - tolerant method)

◆ setParameterList()

void Ogre::StringInterface::setParameterList ( const NameValuePairList paramList)
inherited

Generic multiple parameter setting method.

Remarks
Call this method with a list of name / value pairs to set. The implementor will convert the string to a native type internally. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from StringInterface::getParameters.
Parameters
paramListName/value pair list

◆ getParameter()

String Ogre::StringInterface::getParameter ( const String name) const
inlineinherited

Generic parameter retrieval method.

Remarks
Call this method with the name of a parameter to retrieve a string-format value of the parameter in question. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from getParameters for the type of this parameter. If you like you can use StringConverter to convert this string back into a native type.
Parameters
nameThe name of the parameter to get
Returns
String value of parameter, blank if not found

◆ copyParametersTo()

void Ogre::StringInterface::copyParametersTo ( StringInterface dest) const
inlineinherited

Method for copying this object's parameters to another object.

Remarks
This method takes the values of all the object's parameters and tries to set the same values on the destination object. This provides a completely type independent way to copy parameters to other objects. Note that because of the String manipulation involved, this should not be regarded as an efficient process and should be saved for times outside of the rendering loop.
Any unrecognised parameters will be ignored as with setParameter method.
Parameters
destPointer to object to have it's parameters set the same as this object.

References Ogre::StringInterface::setParameter().

◆ cleanupDictionary()

static void Ogre::StringInterface::cleanupDictionary ( )
staticinherited

Cleans up the static 'msDictionary' required to reset Ogre, otherwise the containers are left with invalid pointers, which will lead to a crash as soon as one of the ResourceManager implementers (e.g.

MaterialManager) initializes.
