Member Function Documentation

◆ setFOVy()

void Ogre::Frustum::setFOVy ( const Radian & fovy )

Sets the Y-dimension Field Of View (FOV) of the frustum.

Field Of View (FOV) is the angle made between the frustum's position, and the edges of the 'screen' onto which the scene is projected. High values (90+ degrees) result in a wide-angle, fish-eye kind of view, low values (30- degrees) in a stretched, telescopic kind of view. Typical values are between 45 and 60 degrees.

: This value represents the VERTICAL field-of-view. The horizontal field of view is calculated from this depending on the dimensions of the viewport (they will only be the same if the viewport is square).

◆ getFOVy()

const Radian & Ogre::Frustum::getFOVy ( void ) const

Retrieves the frustums Y-dimension Field Of View (FOV).

◆ setNearClipDistance()

void Ogre::Frustum::setNearClipDistance ( float nearDist )

Sets the position of the near clipping plane.

The position of the near clipping plane is the distance from the frustums position to the screen on which the world is projected. The near plane distance, combined with the field-of-view and the aspect ratio, determines the size of the viewport through which the world is viewed (in world coordinates). Note that this world viewport is different to a screen viewport, which has it's dimensions expressed in pixels. The frustums viewport should have the same aspect ratio as the screen viewport it renders into to avoid distortion.

Parameters

nearDist The distance to the near clipping plane from the frustum in world coordinates.

◆ getNearClipDistance()

virtual float Ogre::Frustum::getNearClipDistance ( void ) const

inlinevirtual

Retrieves the distance from the frustum to the near clipping plane.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Camera.

◆ setFarClipDistance()

void Ogre::Frustum::setFarClipDistance ( float farDist )

Sets the distance to the far clipping plane.

The view frustum is a pyramid created from the frustum position and the edges of the viewport. This method sets the distance for the far end of that pyramid. Different applications need different values: e.g. a flight sim needs a much further far clipping plane than a first-person shooter. An important point here is that the larger the ratio between near and far clipping planes, the lower the accuracy of the Z-buffer used to depth-cue pixels. This is because the Z-range is limited to the size of the Z buffer (16 or 32-bit) and the max values must be spread over the gap between near and far clip planes. As it happens, you can affect the accuracy far more by altering the near distance rather than the far distance, but keep this in mind.

Parameters

farDist The distance to the far clipping plane from the frustum in world coordinates.If you specify 0, this means an infinite view distance which is useful especially when projecting shadows; but be careful not to use a near distance too close.

◆ getFarClipDistance()

virtual float Ogre::Frustum::getFarClipDistance ( void ) const

inlinevirtual

Retrieves the distance from the frustum to the far clipping plane.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Camera.

◆ setAspectRatio()

void Ogre::Frustum::setAspectRatio ( Real ratio )

Sets the aspect ratio for the frustum viewport.

The ratio between the x and y dimensions of the rectangular area visible through the frustum is known as aspect ratio: aspect = width / height .

: The default for most fullscreen windows is 1.3333 - this is also assumed by Ogre unless you use this method to state otherwise.

◆ getAspectRatio()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getAspectRatio ( void ) const

Retrieves the current aspect ratio.

◆ setFrustumOffset() [1/2]

void Ogre::Frustum::setFrustumOffset ( const Vector2 & offset )

Sets frustum offsets, used in stereo rendering.

You can set both horizontal and vertical plane offsets of "eye"; in stereo rendering frustum is moved in horizontal plane. To be able to render from two "eyes" you'll need two cameras rendering on two RenderTargets.

: The frustum offsets is in world coordinates, and default to (0, 0) - no offsets.

Parameters

offset The horizontal and vertical plane offsets.

◆ setFrustumOffset() [2/2]

void Ogre::Frustum::setFrustumOffset	(	Real	horizontal = `0.0`,
		Real	vertical = `0.0`
	)

Sets frustum offsets, used in stereo rendering.

You can set both horizontal and vertical plane offsets of "eye"; in stereo rendering frustum is moved in horizontal plane. To be able to render from two "eyes" you'll need two cameras rendering on two RenderTargets.

: The frustum offsets is in world coordinates, and default to (0, 0) - no offsets.

Parameters

horizontal	The horizontal plane offset.
vertical	The vertical plane offset.

◆ getFrustumOffset()

const Vector2 & Ogre::Frustum::getFrustumOffset ( ) const

Retrieves the frustum offsets.

Get the extents of the frustum in view space.

◆ getProjectionMatrixWithRSDepth()

const Matrix4 & Ogre::Frustum::getProjectionMatrixWithRSDepth ( void ) const

Gets the depth-adjusted projection matrix for the current rendersystem.

This differs from the rendering-API independent getProjectionMatrix in that it the resulting depth range may vary between render systems since D3D uses [0,1] and GL uses [-1,1]. This is required for vertex and fragment programs.

◆ getProjectionMatrix()

const Matrix4 & Ogre::Frustum::getProjectionMatrix ( void ) const

Gets the normal projection matrix for this frustum.

i.e. the projection matrix which conforms to standard right-handed rules and uses depth range [-1,+1]. This is required for some uniform algebra.

◆ setCustomViewMatrix()

void Ogre::Frustum::setCustomViewMatrix	(	bool	enable,
		const Affine3 &	viewMatrix = `Affine3::IDENTITY`
	)

Set whether to use a custom view matrix on this frustum.

This is an advanced method which allows you to manually set the view matrix on this frustum, rather than having it calculate itself based on it's position and orientation.

Note: After enabling a custom view matrix, the frustum will no longer update on its own based on position / orientation changes. You are completely responsible for keeping the view matrix up to date. The custom matrix will be returned from getViewMatrix.

Parameters

enable	If `true`, the custom view matrix passed as the second parameter will be used in preference to an auto calculated one. If false, the frustum will revert to auto calculating the view matrix.
viewMatrix	The custom view matrix to use

See also: Frustum::setCustomProjectionMatrix

◆ isCustomViewMatrixEnabled()

bool Ogre::Frustum::isCustomViewMatrixEnabled ( void ) const

inline

Returns whether a custom view matrix is in use.

◆ setCustomProjectionMatrix()

void Ogre::Frustum::setCustomProjectionMatrix	(	bool	enable,
		const Matrix4 &	projectionMatrix = `Matrix4::IDENTITY`
	)

Set whether to use a custom projection matrix on this frustum.

This is an advanced method which allows you to manually set the projection matrix on this frustum, rather than having it calculate itself based on it's position and orientation.

Note: After enabling a custom projection matrix, the frustum will no longer update on its own based on field of view and near / far distance changes. You are completely responsible for keeping the projection matrix up to date if those values change. The custom matrix will be returned from getProjectionMatrix and derivative functions.

Parameters

Note: Calling this method will recalculate the aspect ratio, use setOrthoWindowHeight or setOrthoWindowWidth alone if you wish to preserve the aspect ratio but just fit one or other dimension to a particular size.

Parameters

w	The width of the view window in world units.
h	The height of the view window in world units.

◆ setOrthoWindowHeight()

void Ogre::Frustum::setOrthoWindowHeight ( Real h )

Sets the orthographic window height, for use with orthographic rendering only.

Note: The width of the window will be calculated from the aspect ratio.

Parameters

h	The height of the view window in world units.

◆ setOrthoWindowWidth()

void Ogre::Frustum::setOrthoWindowWidth ( Real w )

Sets the orthographic window width, for use with orthographic rendering only.

Note: The height of the window will be calculated from the aspect ratio.

Parameters

w	The width of the view window in world units.

◆ getOrthoWindowHeight()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getOrthoWindowHeight ( ) const

Gets the orthographic window height, for use with orthographic rendering only.

◆ getOrthoWindowWidth()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getOrthoWindowWidth ( ) const

Gets the orthographic window width, for use with orthographic rendering only.

Note: This is calculated from the orthographic height and the aspect ratio

◆ enableReflection() [1/2]

void Ogre::Frustum::enableReflection ( const Plane & p )

Modifies this frustum so it always renders from the reflection of itself through the plane specified.

This is obviously useful for performing planar reflections.

◆ enableReflection() [2/2]

void Ogre::Frustum::enableReflection ( const MovablePlane * p )

Modifies this frustum so it always renders from the reflection of itself through the plane specified.

Note that this version of the method links to a plane so that changes to it are picked up automatically. It is important that this plane continues to exist whilst this object does; do not destroy the plane before the frustum.

This is obviously useful for performing planar reflections.

◆ disableReflection()

void Ogre::Frustum::disableReflection ( void )

Disables reflection modification previously turned on with enableReflection.

◆ isReflected()

bool Ogre::Frustum::isReflected ( void ) const

inline

Returns whether this frustum is being reflected.

◆ getReflectionMatrix()

const Affine3 & Ogre::Frustum::getReflectionMatrix ( void ) const

inline

Returns the reflection matrix of the frustum if appropriate.

◆ getReflectionPlane()

const Plane & Ogre::Frustum::getReflectionPlane ( void ) const

inline

Returns the reflection plane of the frustum if appropriate.

◆ projectSphere()

virtual bool Ogre::Frustum::projectSphere	(	const Sphere &	sphere,
		Real *	left,
		Real *	top,
		Real *	right,
		Real *	bottom
	)		const

virtual

Project a sphere onto the near plane and get the bounding rectangle.

Parameters

sphere	The world-space sphere to project.
left	Pointers to destination values, these will be completed with the normalised device coordinates (in the range {-1,1}).
top	Pointers to destination values, these will be completed with the normalised device coordinates (in the range {-1,1}).
right	Pointers to destination values, these will be completed with the normalised device coordinates (in the range {-1,1}).
bottom	Pointers to destination values, these will be completed with the normalised device coordinates (in the range {-1,1}).

Returns: true if the sphere was projected to a subset of the near plane, false if the entire near plane was contained.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Camera.

◆ enableCustomNearClipPlane() [1/2]

void Ogre::Frustum::enableCustomNearClipPlane ( const MovablePlane * plane )

Links the frustum to a custom near clip plane, which can be used to clip geometry in a custom manner without using user clip planes.

There are several applications for clipping a scene arbitrarily by a single plane; the most common is when rendering a reflection to a texture, and you only want to render geometry that is above the water plane (to do otherwise results in artefacts). Whilst it is possible to use user clip planes, they are not supported on all cards, and sometimes are not hardware accelerated when they are available. Instead, where a single clip plane is involved, this technique uses a 'fudging' of the near clip plane, which is available and fast on all hardware, to perform as the arbitrary clip plane. This does change the shape of the frustum, leading to some depth buffer loss of precision, but for many of the uses of this technique that is not an issue.

: This version of the method links to a plane, rather than requiring a by-value plane definition, and therefore you can make changes to the plane (e.g. by moving / rotating the node it is attached to) and they will automatically affect this object.

Note: This technique only works for perspective projection.

Parameters

plane The plane to link to to perform the clipping. This plane must continue to exist while the camera is linked to it; do not destroy it before the frustum.

◆ enableCustomNearClipPlane() [2/2]

void Ogre::Frustum::enableCustomNearClipPlane ( const Plane & plane )

Links the frustum to a custom near clip plane, which can be used to clip geometry in a custom manner without using user clip planes.

Parameters

plane The plane to link to to perform the clipping. This plane must continue to exist while the camera is linked to it; do not destroy it before the frustum.

◆ disableCustomNearClipPlane()

void Ogre::Frustum::disableCustomNearClipPlane ( void )

Disables any custom near clip plane.

◆ isCustomNearClipPlaneEnabled()

bool Ogre::Frustum::isCustomNearClipPlaneEnabled ( void ) const

inline

Is a custom near clip plane in use?

◆ visitRenderables()

void Ogre::Frustum::visitRenderables	(	Renderable::Visitor *	visitor,
		bool	debugRenderables = `false`
	)

overridevirtual

Method to allow a caller to abstractly iterate over the Renderable instances that this MovableObject will add to the render queue when asked, if any.

Parameters

visitor	Pointer to a class implementing the Renderable::Visitor interface which will be called back for each Renderable which will be queued. Bear in mind that the state of the Renderable instances may not be finalised depending on when you call this.
debugRenderables	If false, only regular renderables will be visited (those for normal display). If true, debug renderables will be included too.

Implements Ogre::MovableObject.

◆ getPositionForViewUpdate()

virtual const Vector3 & Ogre::Frustum::getPositionForViewUpdate ( void ) const

virtual

Get the derived position of this frustum.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Camera.

◆ getOrientationForViewUpdate()

virtual const Quaternion & Ogre::Frustum::getOrientationForViewUpdate ( void ) const

virtual

Get the derived orientation of this frustum.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Camera.

◆ getPlaneBoundedVolume()

PlaneBoundedVolume Ogre::Frustum::getPlaneBoundedVolume ( )

Gets a world-space list of planes enclosing the frustum.
