Base class responsible for setting up a common context for applications.

Subclass to implement specific event callbacks.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ApplicationContext()

OgreBites::ApplicationContext::ApplicationContext	(	const Ogre::String &	appName = `OGRE_VERSION_NAME`,
		bool	unused = `true`
	)

Member Function Documentation

◆ getRenderWindow()

Ogre::RenderWindow* OgreBites::ApplicationContext::getRenderWindow ( ) const

inline

get the main RenderWindow owns the context on OpenGL

◆ getRoot()

Ogre::Root* OgreBites::ApplicationContext::getRoot ( ) const

inline

◆ getOverlaySystem()

Ogre::OverlaySystem* OgreBites::ApplicationContext::getOverlaySystem ( ) const

inline

◆ initApp()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::initApp ( )

This function initializes the render system and resources.

◆ closeApp()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::closeApp ( )

This function closes down the application - saves the configuration then shutdowns.

◆ frameStarted()

virtual bool OgreBites::ApplicationContext::frameStarted ( const Ogre::FrameEvent & evt )

inlinevirtual

Called when a frame is about to begin rendering.

Remarks: This event happens before any render targets have begun updating.

Returns: True to go ahead, false to abort rendering and drop out of the rendering loop.

Reimplemented from Ogre::FrameListener.

◆ frameRenderingQueued()

virtual bool OgreBites::ApplicationContext::frameRenderingQueued ( const Ogre::FrameEvent & evt )

virtual

Called after all render targets have had their rendering commands issued, but before render windows have been asked to flip their buffers over.

Remarks: The usefulness of this event comes from the fact that rendering commands are queued for the GPU to process. These can take a little while to finish, and so while that is happening the CPU can be doing useful things. Once the request to 'flip buffers' happens, the thread requesting it will block until the GPU is ready, which can waste CPU cycles. Therefore, it is often a good idea to use this callback to perform per-frame processing. Of course because the frame's rendering commands have already been issued, any changes you make will only take effect from the next frame, but in most cases that's not noticeable.

Returns: True to continue rendering, false to drop out of the rendering loop.

Reimplemented from Ogre::FrameListener.

◆ frameEnded()

virtual bool OgreBites::ApplicationContext::frameEnded ( const Ogre::FrameEvent & evt )

inlinevirtual

Called just after a frame has been rendered.

Remarks: This event happens after all render targets have been fully updated and the buffers switched.

Returns: True to continue with the next frame, false to drop out of the rendering loop.

Reimplemented from Ogre::FrameListener.

◆ windowMoved()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::windowMoved ( Ogre::RenderWindow * rw )

inlinevirtual

◆ windowResized()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::windowResized ( Ogre::RenderWindow * rw )

inlinevirtual

◆ windowClosing()

inlinevirtual

◆ windowClosed()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::windowClosed ( Ogre::RenderWindow * rw )

inlinevirtual

◆ windowFocusChange()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::windowFocusChange ( Ogre::RenderWindow * rw )

inlinevirtual

◆ _fireInputEvent()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::_fireInputEvent	(	const Event &	event,
		uint32_t	windowID
	)		const

inspect the event and call one of the corresponding functions on the registered InputListener

Parameters

event	Input Event
windowID	only call listeners of this window

◆ initialiseRTShaderSystem()

bool OgreBites::ApplicationContext::initialiseRTShaderSystem ( )

Initialize the RT Shader system.

◆ setRTSSWriteShadersToDisk()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::setRTSSWriteShadersToDisk ( bool write )

make the RTSS write out the generated shaders for caching and debugging

by default all shaders are generated to system memory. Must be called before loadResources

Parameters

write

◆ destroyRTShaderSystem()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::destroyRTShaderSystem ( )

Destroy the RT Shader system.

◆ setup()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::setup ( )

virtual

Sets up the context after configuration.

◆ createRoot()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::createRoot ( )

virtual

Creates the OGRE root.

◆ oneTimeConfig()

virtual bool OgreBites::ApplicationContext::oneTimeConfig ( )

virtual

Configures the startup settings for OGRE.

I use the config dialog here, but you can also restore from a config file. Note that this only happens when you start the context, and not when you reset it.

◆ setWindowGrab() [1/2]

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::setWindowGrab	(	NativeWindowType *	win,
		bool	grab = `true`
	)

When input is grabbed the mouse is confined to the window.

◆ setWindowGrab() [2/2]

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::setWindowGrab ( bool grab = true )

inline

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

References OgreAssert.

◆ locateResources()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::locateResources ( )

virtual

Finds context-wide resource groups.

I load paths from a config file here, but you can choose your resource locations however you want.

◆ loadResources()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::loadResources ( )

virtual

Loads context-wide resource groups.

I chose here to simply initialise all groups, but you can fully load specific ones if you wish.

◆ reconfigure()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::reconfigure	(	const Ogre::String &	renderer,
		Ogre::NameValuePairList &	options
	)

virtual

Reconfigures the context.

Attempts to preserve the current sample state.

◆ shutdown()

virtual void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::shutdown ( )

virtual

Cleans up and shuts down the context.

◆ pollEvents()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::pollEvents ( )

process all window events since last call

◆ createDummyScene()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::createDummyScene ( )

Creates dummy scene to allow rendering GUI in viewport.

◆ destroyDummyScene()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::destroyDummyScene ( )

Destroys dummy scene.

◆ enableShaderCache()

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::enableShaderCache ( ) const

enables the caching of compiled shaders to file

also loads any existing cache

◆ addInputListener() [1/2]

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::addInputListener	(	NativeWindowType *	win,
		InputListener *	lis
	)

attach input listener

Parameters

lis	the listener
win	the window to receive the events for.

◆ addInputListener() [2/2]

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::addInputListener ( InputListener * lis )

inline

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

References OgreAssert.

◆ removeInputListener() [1/2]

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::removeInputListener	(	NativeWindowType *	win,
		InputListener *	lis
	)

detatch input listener

Parameters

lis	the listener
win	the window to receive the events for.

◆ removeInputListener() [2/2]

void OgreBites::ApplicationContext::removeInputListener ( InputListener * lis )

inline

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

References OgreAssert.

◆ createWindow()

virtual NativeWindowPair OgreBites::ApplicationContext::createWindow	(	const Ogre::String &	name,
		uint32_t	w = `0`,
		uint32_t	h = `0`,
		Ogre::NameValuePairList	miscParams = `Ogre::NameValuePairList()`
	)

virtual

Create a new render window.

You must use SDL and not an auto-created window as SDL does not get the events otherwise.

By default the values from ogre.cfg are used for w, h and miscParams.

◆ getFSLayer()

Ogre::FileSystemLayer& OgreBites::ApplicationContext::getFSLayer ( )

inline

get the FileSystemLayer instace pointing to an application specific directory

◆ getDefaultMediaDir()

static Ogre::String OgreBites::ApplicationContext::getDefaultMediaDir ( )

static

the directory where the media files were installed

same as OGRE_MEDIA_DIR in CMake

The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:

OgreApplicationContext.h
