◆ setConfigOption()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::setConfigOption ( const String name,
const String value 
)
inlinevirtual

Sets an option for this API.

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 initialise the RenderWindowDescription or set some RenderSystem specific paramters. 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.

Common options:

Key Default Description
Full Screen false Window full-screen flag
VSync true "vsync" in _createRenderWindow
VSync Interval 1 "vsyncInterval" in _createRenderWindow
sRGB Gamma Conversion false "gamma" in _createRenderWindow
FSAA 0 concatenation of "FSAA" and "FSAAHint" as in _createRenderWindow
Video Mode - Window resolution
Display Frequency - "displayFrequency" in _createRenderWindow
Content Scaling Factor 1.0 "contentScalingFactor" in _createRenderWindow
Parameters
nameThe name of the option to alter.
valueThe value to set the option to.

◆ _createRenderWindow()

virtual RenderWindow* Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_createRenderWindow ( const String name,
unsigned int  width,
unsigned int  height,
bool  fullScreen,
const NameValuePairList miscParams = 0 
)
virtual

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 Platform

left Positive integers Centred Screen x coordinate from left
top Positive integers Centred Screen y coordinate from left
border none, fixed, resize resize The type of window border (in windowed mode)

FSAA Positive integer (usually 0, 2, 4, 8, 16) 0 Full screen antialiasing factor
gamma true, false false Enable hardware conversion from linear colour space to gamma colour space on rendering to the window.
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.
Full Screen true, false false Specify whether to create the window in full screen mode
displayFrequency Refresh rate in Hertz (e.g. 60, 75, 100) Desktop vsync rate Display frequency rate, for fullscreen mode

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
currentGLContext true, false false Use an externally created GL context. (Must be current) OpenGL
minColourBufferSize Positive integer (usually 16, 32) 16 Min total colour buffer size. See EGL_BUFFER_SIZE OpenGL

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ createMultiRenderTarget()

virtual MultiRenderTarget* Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::createMultiRenderTarget ( const String name)
virtual

Create a MultiRenderTarget, which is a render target that renders to multiple RenderTextures at once.

Surfaces can be bound and unbound at will. This fails if mCapabilities->getNumMultiRenderTargets() is smaller than 2.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setTexture()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setTexture ( size_t  unit,
bool  enabled,
const TexturePtr texPtr 
)
virtual

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.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _createDepthBufferFor()

virtual DepthBuffer* Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_createDepthBufferFor ( RenderTarget renderTarget)
virtual

Creates a DepthBuffer that can be attached to the specified RenderTarget.

Remarks
It doesn't attach anything, it just returns a pointer to a new DepthBuffer Caller is responsible for putting this buffer into the right pool, for attaching, and deleting it. Here's where API-specific magic happens. Don't call this directly unless you know what you're doing.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ setStencilCheckEnabled()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::setStencilCheckEnabled ( bool  enabled)
virtual

Turns stencil buffer checking on or off.

Remarks
Stencilling (masking off areas of the rendering target based on the stencil buffer) can be turned on or off using this method. By default, stencilling is disabled.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ setStencilBufferParams()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::setStencilBufferParams ( CompareFunction  func = CMPF_ALWAYS_PASS,
uint32  refValue = 0,
uint32  compareMask = 0xFFFFFFFF,
uint32  writeMask = 0xFFFFFFFF,
StencilOperation  stencilFailOp = SOP_KEEP,
StencilOperation  depthFailOp = SOP_KEEP,
StencilOperation  passOp = SOP_KEEP,
bool  twoSidedOperation = false,
bool  readBackAsTexture = false 
)
virtual

This method allows you to set all the stencil buffer parameters in one call.

Unlike other render states, stencilling is left for the application to turn on and off when it requires. This is because you are likely to want to change parameters between batches of arbitrary objects and control the ordering yourself. In order to batch things this way, you'll want to use OGRE's Compositor stencil pass or separate render queue groups and register a RenderQueueListener to get notifications between batches.

RenderQueue

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _waitForTailFrameToFinish()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_waitForTailFrameToFinish ( void  )
virtual

See VaoManager::waitForTailFrameToFinish.

◆ _willTailFrameStall()

virtual bool Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_willTailFrameStall ( void  )
virtual

◆ _beginFrame()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_beginFrame ( void  )
virtual

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.

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _endFrame()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_endFrame ( void  )
virtual

Ends rendering of a frame to the current viewport.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ setScissorTest()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::setScissorTest ( bool  enabled,
const Rect rect 
)
virtual

Sets the 'scissor region' i.e.

the region of the target in which rendering can take place.

Remarks
This method allows you to 'mask off' rendering in all but a given rectangular area as identified by the parameters to this method.
Parameters
enabledTrue to enable the scissor test, false to disable it.
rectThe location of the corners of the rectangle, expressed in pixels.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setViewport()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setViewport ( Viewport vp)
virtual

Sets the provided viewport as the active one for future rendering operations.

This viewport is aware of it's own camera and render target. Must be implemented by subclass.

Parameters
vpPointer to the appropriate viewport.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ setColourBlendState()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::setColourBlendState ( const ColourBlendState state)
virtual

Sets the global blending factors for combining subsequent renders with the existing frame contents.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setSampler()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setSampler ( size_t  texUnit,
Sampler s 
)
virtual

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setDepthClamp()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setDepthClamp ( bool  enable)
virtual

Clamp depth values to near and far plane rather than discarding.

Useful for "shadow caster pancaking" or with shadow volumes

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setDepthBufferParams()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setDepthBufferParams ( bool  depthTest = true,
bool  depthWrite = true,
CompareFunction  depthFunction = CMPF_LESS_EQUAL 
)
virtual

Sets the mode of operation for depth buffer tests from this point onwards.

Sometimes you may wish to alter the behaviour of the depth buffer to achieve special effects. Because it's unlikely that you'll set these options for an entire frame, but rather use them to tweak settings between rendering objects, this is an internal method (indicated by the '_' prefix) which will be used by a SceneManager implementation rather than directly from the client application. If this method is never called the settings are automatically the same as the default parameters.

Parameters
depthTestIf true, the depth buffer is tested for each pixel and the frame buffer is only updated if the depth function test succeeds. If false, no test is performed and pixels are always written.
depthWriteIf true, the depth buffer is updated with the depth of the new pixel if the depth test succeeds. If false, the depth buffer is left unchanged even if a new pixel is written.
depthFunctionSets the function required for the depth test.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setCullingMode()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setCullingMode ( CullingMode  mode)
virtual

Sets the culling mode for the render system based on the 'vertex winding'.

A typical way for the rendering engine to cull triangles is based on the 'vertex winding' of triangles. Vertex winding refers to the direction in which the vertices are passed or indexed to in the rendering operation as viewed from the camera, and will wither be clockwise or anticlockwise (that's 'counterclockwise' for you Americans out there ;) The default is CULL_CLOCKWISE i.e. that only triangles whose vertices are passed/indexed in anticlockwise order are rendered - this is a common approach and is used in 3D studio models for example. You can alter this culling mode if you wish but it is not advised unless you know what you are doing. You may wish to use the CULL_NONE option for mesh data that you cull yourself where the vertex winding is uncertain.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setDepthBias()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setDepthBias ( float  constantBias,
float  slopeScaleBias = 0.0f 
)
virtual

Sets the depth bias, NB you should use the Material version of this.

Remarks
When polygons are coplanar, you can get problems with 'depth fighting' where the pixels from the two polys compete for the same screen pixel. This is particularly a problem for decals (polys attached to another surface to represent details such as bulletholes etc.).
A way to combat this problem is to use a depth bias to adjust the depth buffer value used for the decal such that it is slightly higher than the true value, ensuring that the decal appears on top.
Note
The final bias value is a combination of a constant bias and a bias proportional to the maximum depth slope of the polygon being rendered. The final bias is constantBias + slopeScaleBias * maxslope. Slope scale biasing is generally preferable but is not available on older hardware.
Parameters
constantBiasThe constant bias value, expressed as a value in homogeneous depth coordinates.
slopeScaleBiasThe bias value which is factored by the maximum slope of the polygon, see the description above. This is not supported by all cards.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _convertProjectionMatrix()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_convertProjectionMatrix ( const Matrix4 matrix,
Matrix4 dest,
bool  forGpuProgram = false 
)
virtual

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.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setPolygonMode()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setPolygonMode ( PolygonMode  level)
virtual

Sets how to rasterise triangles, as points, wireframe or solid polys.

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _setAlphaRejectSettings()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_setAlphaRejectSettings ( CompareFunction  func,
unsigned char  value,
bool  alphaToCoverage 
)
virtual

Sets the global alpha rejection approach for future renders.

By default images are rendered regardless of texture alpha. This method lets you change that.

Parameters
funcThe comparison function which must pass for a pixel to be written.
valueThe value to compare each pixels alpha value to (0-255)
alphaToCoverageWhether to enable alpha to coverage, if supported

Implements Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ _render()

virtual void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::_render ( const RenderOperation op)
virtual

Render something to the active viewport.

Low-level rendering interface to perform rendering operations. Unlikely to be used directly by client applications, since the SceneManager and various support classes will be responsible for calling this method. Can only be called between _beginScene and _endScene

Parameters
opA rendering operation instance, which contains details of the operation to be performed.

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderSystem.

◆ bindGpuProgram()

void Ogre::MetalRenderSystem::bindGpuProgram ( GpuProgram prg)
