Detailed Description

Abstract definition of a 2D element to be displayed in an Overlay.

This class abstracts all the details of a 2D element which will appear in an overlay. In fact, not all OverlayElement instances can be directly added to an Overlay, only those which are OverlayContainer instances (a subclass of this class). OverlayContainer objects can contain any OverlayElement however. This is just to enforce some level of grouping on widgets.

OverlayElements should be managed using OverlayManager. This class is responsible for instantiating / deleting elements, and also for accepting new types of element from plugins etc.

Note that positions / dimensions of 2D screen elements are expressed as parametric values (0.0 - 1.0) because this makes them resolution-independent. However, most screen resolutions have an aspect ratio of 1.3333:1 (width : height) so note that in physical pixels 0.5 is wider than it is tall, so a 0.5x0.5 panel will not be square on the screen (but it will take up exactly half the screen in both dimensions).

Because this class is designed to be extensible, it subclasses from StringInterface so its parameters can be set in a generic way.

virtual

Gets the name of the material this element uses.

setMaterial()

void Ogre::OverlayElement::setMaterial

(

const MaterialPtr &

mat

)

Sets the the material this element will use.

Different elements will use different materials. One constant about them all though is that a Material used for a OverlayElement must have it's depth checking set to 'off', which means it always gets rendered on top. OGRE will set this flag for you if necessary. What it does mean though is that you should not use the same Material for rendering OverlayElements as standard scene objects. It's fine to use the same textures, just not the same Material.

setMaterialName()

void Ogre::OverlayElement::setMaterialName	(	const String &	matName,
		const String &	group = DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP
	)

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

getMaterial()

const MaterialPtr & Ogre::OverlayElement::getMaterial ( void  ) const

overridevirtual

Retrieves a weak reference to the material this renderable object uses.

Note that the Renderable also has the option to override the getTechnique method to specify a particular Technique to use instead of the best one available.

Implements Ogre::Renderable.

Reimplemented in Ogre::TextAreaOverlayElement.

getWorldTransforms()

void Ogre::OverlayElement::getWorldTransforms ( Matrix4 *  xform ) const

overridevirtual

Gets the world transform matrix / matrices for this renderable object.

If the object has any derived transforms, these are expected to be up to date as long as all the SceneNode structures have been updated before this is called.

Note

Internal Ogre never supports non-affine matrix for world transform matrix/matrices, the behavior is undefined if returns non-affine matrix here.

This method will populate transform with 1 matrix if it does not use GPU vertex blending. If it does use GPU vertex blending it will fill the passed in pointer with an array of matrices, the length being the value returned from getNumWorldTransforms.

Note

If MeshManager::getBonesUseObjectSpace() is true, the first matrix must contain the world transform of the object, and the rest of the matrices must contain the bone transforms in object space.

Implements Ogre::Renderable.

Referenced by Ogre::BorderRenderable::getWorldTransforms().

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::_positionsOutOfDate ( void  )

virtual

Tell the object to recalculate.

_updateFromParent()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::_updateFromParent ( void  )

virtual

Updates this elements transform based on it's parent.

_notifyParent()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::_notifyParent ( OverlayContainer *  parent, Overlay *  overlay  )

virtual

Internal method for notifying the GUI element of it's parent and ultimate overlay.

Reimplemented in Ogre::OverlayContainer.

_getDerivedLeft()

virtual Real Ogre::OverlayElement::_getDerivedLeft ( void  )

virtual

Gets the 'left' position as derived from own left and that of parents.

_getDerivedTop()

virtual

Gets the 'top' position as derived from own left and that of parents.

_getRelativeWidth()

virtual

Gets the 'width' as derived from own width and metrics mode.

_getRelativeHeight()

virtual Real Ogre::OverlayElement::_getRelativeHeight ( void  )

virtual

Gets the 'height' as derived from own height and metrics mode.

_getClippingRegion()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::_getClippingRegion ( RealRect &  clippingRegion )

virtual

Gets the clipping region of the element.

_notifyZOrder()

virtual ushort Ogre::OverlayElement::_notifyZOrder ( ushort  newZOrder )

virtual

Internal method to notify the element when Z-order of parent overlay has changed.

Overlays have explicit Z-orders. OverlayElements do not, they inherit the Z-order of the overlay, and the Z-order is incremented for every container nested within this to ensure that containers are displayed behind contained items. This method is used internally to notify the element of a change in final Z-order which is used to render the element.

Returns

Return the next Z-ordering number available. For single elements, this is simply 'newZOrder + 1', except for containers. They increment it once for each child (or even more if those children are also containers with their own elements).

Reimplemented in Ogre::OverlayContainer.

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::_notifyWorldTransforms ( const Matrix4 &  xform )

virtual

Internal method to notify the element when it's world transform of parent overlay has changed.

Reimplemented in Ogre::BorderPanelOverlayElement, Ogre::OverlayContainer, and Ogre::PanelOverlayElement.

visitRenderables()

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

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.

getTypeName()

virtual const String & Ogre::OverlayElement::getTypeName ( void  ) const

pure virtual

Gets the type name of the element.

All concrete subclasses must implement this.

Implemented in Ogre::BorderPanelOverlayElement, Ogre::PanelOverlayElement, and Ogre::TextAreaOverlayElement.

setCaption()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::setCaption ( const DisplayString &  text )

virtual

Sets the caption on elements that support it.

This property doesn't do something on all elements, just those that support it. However, being a common requirement it is in the top-level interface to avoid having to set it via the StringInterface all the time.

Reimplemented in Ogre::TextAreaOverlayElement.

getCaption()

const DisplayString & Ogre::OverlayElement::getCaption ( void  ) const

inline

Gets the caption for this element.

setColour()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::setColour ( const ColourValue &  col )

virtual

Sets the colour on elements that support it.

This property doesn't do something on all elements, just those that support it. However, being a common requirement it is in the top-level interface to avoid having to set it via the StringInterface all the time.

Reimplemented in Ogre::TextAreaOverlayElement.

getColour()

virtual const ColourValue & Ogre::OverlayElement::getColour ( void  ) const

virtual

Gets the colour for this element.

Reimplemented in Ogre::TextAreaOverlayElement.

setMetricsMode()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::setMetricsMode ( GuiMetricsMode  gmm )

virtual

Tells this element how to interpret the position and dimension values it is given.

By default, OverlayElements are positioned and sized according to relative dimensions of the screen. This is to ensure portability between different resolutions when you want things to be positioned and sized the same way across all resolutions. However, sometimes you want things to be sized according to fixed pixels. In order to do this, you can call this method with the parameter GMM_PIXELS. Note that if you then want to place your element relative to the center, right or bottom of it's parent, you will need to use the setHorizontalAlignment and setVerticalAlignment methods.

Reimplemented in Ogre::BorderPanelOverlayElement, and Ogre::TextAreaOverlayElement.

getMetricsMode()

GuiMetricsMode Ogre::OverlayElement::getMetricsMode ( void  ) const

inline

Retrieves the current settings of how the element metrics are interpreted.

setHorizontalAlignment()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::setHorizontalAlignment ( GuiHorizontalAlignment  gha )

virtual

Sets the horizontal origin for this element.

By default, the horizontal origin for a OverlayElement is the left edge of the parent container (or the screen if this is a root element). You can alter this by calling this method, which is especially useful when you want to use pixel-based metrics (see setMetricsMode) since in this mode you can't use relative positioning.

For example, if you were using GMM_PIXELS metrics mode, and you wanted to place a 30x30 pixel crosshair in the center of the screen, you would use GHA_CENTER with a 'left' property of -15.

Note that neither GHA_CENTER or GHA_RIGHT alter the position of the element based on it's width, you have to alter the 'left' to a negative number to do that; all this does is establish the origin. This is because this way you can align multiple things in the center and right with different 'left' offsets for maximum flexibility.

getHorizontalAlignment()

GuiHorizontalAlignment Ogre::OverlayElement::getHorizontalAlignment ( void  ) const

inline

Gets the horizontal alignment for this element.

setVerticalAlignment()

virtual void Ogre::OverlayElement::setVerticalAlignment ( GuiVerticalAlignment  gva )

virtual

Sets the vertical origin for this element.

By default, the vertical origin for a OverlayElement is the top edge of the parent container (or the screen if this is a root element). You can alter this by calling this method, which is especially useful when you want to use pixel-based metrics (see setMetricsMode) since in this mode you can't use relative positioning.

For example, if you were using GMM_PIXELS metrics mode, and you wanted to place a 30x30 pixel crosshair in the center of the screen, you would use GHA_CENTER with a 'top' property of -15.

Note that neither GVA_CENTER or GVA_BOTTOM alter the position of the element based on it's height, you have to alter the 'top' to a negative number to do that; all this does is establish the origin. This is because this way you can align multiple things in the center and bottom with different 'top' offsets for maximum flexibility.

const LightList & Ogre::OverlayElement::getLights ( void  ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Gets a list of lights, ordered relative to how close they are to this renderable.
