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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Texture()

Ogre::Texture::Texture ( ResourceManager creator,
const String name,
ResourceHandle  handle,
const String group,
bool  isManual = false,
ManualResourceLoader loader = 0 
)

◆ ~Texture()

virtual Ogre::Texture::~Texture ( )
inlinevirtual

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.

References Ogre::TU_AUTOMIPMAP.

◆ 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

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

const String fsaaHint 
)
inline

Set the level of multisample AA to be used if this texture is a rendertarget.

Note
This option will be ignored if TU_RENDERTARGET is not part of the usage options on this texture, or if the hardware does not support it.
Parameters
fsaaThe number of samples
fsaaHintAny hinting text (see Root::createRenderWindow)

◆ getFSAA()

uint Ogre::Texture::getFSAA ( ) const
inline

◆ getUsage()

int Ogre::Texture::getUsage ( ) const
inline

Returns the TextureUsage identifier for this Texture.

◆ setUsage()

void Ogre::Texture::setUsage ( int  u)
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_GPU_ONLY wherever possible, if you need to update regularly, consider HBU_CPU_TO_GPU.

◆ 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.

◆ freeInternalResources()

void Ogre::Texture::freeInternalResources ( void  )
Deprecated:
use unload() instead

◆ copyToTexture()

virtual void Ogre::Texture::copyToTexture ( TexturePtr target)
virtual

Copies (and maybe scales to fit) the contents of this texture to another texture.

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.

Referenced by Ogre::VulkanWindow::suggestPixelFormat().

◆ getDesiredFormat()

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

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.

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

gets desired bit depth for float pixel format textures.

◆ setDesiredBitDepths()

◆ getBuffer()

virtual const 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
