Detailed Description

The PageManager is the entry point through which you load all PagedWorld instances, and the place where PageStrategy instances and factory classes are registered to customise the paging behaviour.

To get started, the minimum you need is a PagedWorld with at least one PagedWorldSection within it, and at least one Camera being tracked (see addCamera).

◆ setPageProvider()

void Ogre::PageManager::setPageProvider ( PageProvider * provider )

inline

Set the PageProvider which can provide streams for any Page.

This is the top-level way that you can direct how Page data is loaded. When data for a Page is requested for a PagedWorldSection, the following sequence of classes will be checked to see if they have a provider willing to supply the stream: PagedWorldSection, PagedWorld, PageManager. If none of these do, then the default behaviour is to look for a file called worldname_sectionname_pageID.page.

Note: The caller remains responsible for the destruction of the provider.

◆ getPageProvider()

PageProvider * Ogre::PageManager::getPageProvider ( ) const

inline

Get the PageProvider which can provide streams for any Page.

◆ _prepareProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PageManager::_prepareProceduralPage	(	Page *	page,
		PagedWorldSection *	section
	)

virtual

Give a provider the opportunity to prepare page content procedurally.

You should not call this method directly. This call may well happen in a separate thread so it should not access GPU resources, use _loadProceduralPage for that

Returns: true if the page was populated, false otherwise

◆ _loadProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PageManager::_loadProceduralPage	(	Page *	page,
		PagedWorldSection *	section
	)

virtual

Give a provider the opportunity to prepare page content procedurally.

You should not call this method directly. This call will happen in the main render thread so it can access GPU resources. Use _prepareProceduralPage for background preparation.

Returns: true if the page was populated, false otherwise

◆ _unloadProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PageManager::_unloadProceduralPage	(	Page *	page,
		PagedWorldSection *	section
	)

virtual

Give a manager the opportunity to unload page content procedurally.

You should not call this method directly. This call will happen in the main render thread so it can access GPU resources. Use _unprepareProceduralPage for background preparation.

Returns: true if the page was populated, false otherwise

◆ _unprepareProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PageManager::_unprepareProceduralPage	(	Page *	page,
		PagedWorldSection *	section
	)

virtual

Give a manager the opportunity to unprepare page content procedurally.

You should not call this method directly. This call may well happen in a separate thread so it should not access GPU resources, use _unloadProceduralPage for that

Returns: true if the page was unpopulated, false otherwise

◆ _readPageStream()

StreamSerialiser * Ogre::PageManager::_readPageStream	(	PageID	pageID,
		PagedWorldSection *	section
	)

Get a serialiser set up to read Page data for the given PageID.

Parameters

pageID	The ID of the page being requested
section	The parent section to which this page will belong

The StreamSerialiser returned is the responsibility of the caller to delete.

◆ _writePageStream()

StreamSerialiser * Ogre::PageManager::_writePageStream	(	PageID	pageID,
		PagedWorldSection *	section
	)

Get a serialiser set up to write Page data for the given PageID.

Parameters

pageID	The ID of the page being requested
section	The parent section to which this page will belong

The StreamSerialiser returned is the responsibility of the caller to delete.

◆ _readWorldStream()

StreamSerialiser * Ogre::PageManager::_readWorldStream ( const String & filename )

Get a serialiser set up to read PagedWorld data for the given world name.

The StreamSerialiser returned is the responsibility of the caller to delete.

◆ _writeWorldStream()

StreamSerialiser * Ogre::PageManager::_writeWorldStream ( const String & filename )

Get a serialiser set up to write PagedWorld data.

The StreamSerialiser returned is the responsibility of the caller to delete.

◆ getPageResourceGroup()

const String & Ogre::PageManager::getPageResourceGroup ( ) const

inline

Get the resource group that will be used to read/write files when the default load routines are used.

◆ setPageResourceGroup()

void Ogre::PageManager::setPageResourceGroup ( const String & g )

inline

Set the resource group that will be used to read/write files when the default load routines are used.

◆ addCamera()

void Ogre::PageManager::addCamera ( Camera * c )

Tells the paging system to start tracking a given camera.

In order for the paging system to function it needs to know which Cameras to track. You may not want to have all your cameras affect the paging system, so just add the cameras you want it to keep track of here.

◆ removeCamera()

void Ogre::PageManager::removeCamera ( Camera * c )

Tells the paging system to stop tracking a given camera.

◆ hasCamera()

bool Ogre::PageManager::hasCamera ( Camera * c ) const

Returns whether or not a given camera is being watched by the paging system.

◆ getCameraList()

const CameraList & Ogre::PageManager::getCameraList ( ) const

Returns a list of cameras being tracked.

◆ setDebugDisplayLevel()

void Ogre::PageManager::setDebugDisplayLevel ( uint8 lvl )

inline

Set the debug display level.

This setting controls how much debug information is displayed in the scene. The exact interpretation of this value depends on the PageStrategy you're using, and whether the PageContent decides to also display debug information. Generally speaking, 0 means no debug display, 1 means simple debug display (usually the PageStrategy) and anything more than that is up to the classes involved.

◆ getDebugDisplayLevel()

uint8 Ogre::PageManager::getDebugDisplayLevel ( ) const

inline

Get the debug display level.

◆ setPagingOperationsEnabled()

void Ogre::PageManager::setPagingOperationsEnabled ( bool enabled )

inline

Pause or unpause all paging operations.

Using this method you can stop pages being loaded or unloaded for a period of time, 'freezing' the current page state as it is.

Parameters

enabled True to proceed with normal paging operations, false to pause.

◆ getPagingOperationsEnabled()

bool Ogre::PageManager::getPagingOperationsEnabled ( ) const

inline

Get whether paging operations are currently allowed to happen.
