Detailed Description

Manages the target rendering window.

This class handles a window into which the contents
of a scene are rendered. There is a many-to-1 relationship
between instances of this class an instance of RenderSystem
which controls the rendering of the scene. There may be
more than one window in the case of level editor tools etc.
This class is abstract since there may be
different implementations for different windowing systems.

Instances are created and communicated with by the render system
although client programs can get a reference to it from
the render system if required for resizing or moving.
Note that you can have multiple viewpoints
in the window for effects like rear-view mirrors and
picture-in-picture views (see Viewport and Camera).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RenderWindow()

Ogre::RenderWindow::RenderWindow ( )

Default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getViewPointToPixelScale()

virtual float Ogre::RenderWindow::getViewPointToPixelScale ( )
inlinevirtual

Many windowing systems that support HiDPI displays use special points to specify size of the windows and controls, so that windows and controls with hardcoded sizes does not become too small on HiDPI displays.

Such points have constant density ~ 100 points per inch (probably 96 on Windows and 72 on Mac), that is independent of pixel density of real display, and are used through the all windowing system.

Sometimes, such view points are chosen bigger for output devices that are viewed from larger distances, like 30" TV comparing to 30" monitor, therefore maintaining constant points angular density rather than constant linear density.

In any case, all such windowing system provides the way to convert such view points to pixels, be it DisplayProperties::LogicalDpi on WinRT or backingScaleFactor on MacOSX. We use pixels consistently through the Ogre, but window/view management functions takes view points for convenience, as does the rest of windowing system. Such parameters are named using xxxxPt pattern, and should not be mixed with pixels without being converted using getViewPointToPixelScale() function.

Sometimes such scale factor can change on-the-fly, for example if window is dragged to monitor with different DPI. In such situation, window size in view points is usually preserved by windowing system, and Ogre should adjust pixel size of RenderWindow.

Reimplemented in Ogre::MetalRenderWindow.

◆ create()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::create ( const String name,
unsigned int  widthPt,
unsigned int  heightPt,
bool  fullScreen,
const NameValuePairList miscParams 
)
pure virtual

Creates & displays the new window.

Parameters
namethe internal window name. Not necessarily the title.
widthPtThe width of the window in view points.
heightPtThe height of the window in view points.
fullScreenIf true, the window fills the screen, with no title bar or border.
miscParamsA variable number of pointers to platform-specific arguments. The actual requirements must be defined by the implementing subclasses.

Implemented in Ogre::VulkanWindow, Ogre::TinyWindow, Ogre::MetalRenderWindow, and Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ setFullscreen()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::setFullscreen ( bool  fullScreen,
unsigned int  widthPt,
unsigned int  heightPt 
)
inlinevirtual

Alter fullscreen mode options.

Nothing will happen unless the settings here are different from the current settings.

Note
Only implemented by few RenderSystems. Prefer native windowing API.
Parameters
fullScreenWhether to use fullscreen mode or not.
widthPtThe new width to use
heightPtThe new height to use

Reimplemented in Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ destroy()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::destroy ( void  )
pure virtual

◆ resize()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::resize ( unsigned int  widthPt,
unsigned int  heightPt 
)
pure virtual

◆ windowMovedOrResized()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::windowMovedOrResized ( void  )
inlinevirtual

Query the current size and position from an external window handle.

Note
most of the time you already know the size and should call resize instead.

Reimplemented in Ogre::MetalRenderWindow, Ogre::VulkanWindow, and Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ reposition()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::reposition ( int  leftPt,
int  topPt 
)
inlinevirtual

Reposition the window.

Note
Only implemented by few RenderSystems. Prefer native windowing API.

Reimplemented in Ogre::MetalRenderWindow, and Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ isVisible()

virtual bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isVisible ( void  ) const
inlinevirtual

Indicates whether the window is visible (not minimized or obscured)

Reimplemented in Ogre::VulkanWindow, Ogre::GLWindow, and Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ setVisible()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::setVisible ( bool  visible)
inlinevirtual

Set the visibility state.

Reimplemented in Ogre::VulkanWindow, and Ogre::GLWindow.

◆ isHidden()

virtual bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isHidden ( void  ) const
inlinevirtual

Indicates whether the window was set to hidden (not displayed)

Reimplemented in Ogre::VulkanWindow, Ogre::GLWindow, Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow, and Ogre::D3D11RenderWindowBase.

◆ setHidden()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::setHidden ( bool  hidden)
inlinevirtual

Hide (or show) the window.

If called with hidden=true, this will make the window completely invisible to the user.

Setting a window to hidden is useful to create a dummy primary RenderWindow hidden from the user so that you can create and recreate your actual RenderWindows without having to recreate all your resources.

Reimplemented in Ogre::VulkanWindow, and Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ setVSyncEnabled()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::setVSyncEnabled ( bool  vsync)
inlinevirtual

Enable or disable vertical sync for the RenderWindow.

Reimplemented in Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow, and Ogre::D3D11RenderWindowSwapChainBased.

◆ isVSyncEnabled()

virtual bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isVSyncEnabled ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Indicates whether vertical sync is activated for the window.

Reimplemented in Ogre::GLWindow, Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow, and Ogre::D3D11RenderWindowSwapChainBased.

◆ setVSyncInterval()

virtual void Ogre::RenderWindow::setVSyncInterval ( unsigned int  interval)
inlinevirtual

Set the vertical sync interval.

This indicates the number of vertical retraces to wait for before swapping buffers. A value of 1 is the default.

Reimplemented in Ogre::GLWindow, and Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ getVSyncInterval()

unsigned int Ogre::RenderWindow::getVSyncInterval ( ) const
inline

Returns the vertical sync interval.

◆ isActive()

bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isActive ( void  ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Overridden from RenderTarget, flags invisible windows as inactive.

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderTarget.

Reimplemented in Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

◆ isClosed()

virtual bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isClosed ( void  ) const
inlinevirtual

Indicates whether the window has been closed by the user.

◆ isPrimary()

bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isPrimary ( void  ) const
overridevirtual

Indicates whether the window is the primary window.

The primary window is special in that it is destroyed when ogre is shut down, and cannot be destroyed directly. This is the case because it holds the context for vertex, index buffers and textures.

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderTarget.

◆ isFullScreen()

virtual bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isFullScreen ( void  ) const
virtual

Returns true if window is running in fullscreen mode.

◆ getMetrics()

void Ogre::RenderWindow::getMetrics ( unsigned int &  width,
unsigned int &  height,
int &  left,
int &  top 
) const

Overloaded version of getMetrics from RenderTarget, including extra details specific to windowing systems.

Result is in pixels.

◆ suggestPixelFormat()

PixelFormat Ogre::RenderWindow::suggestPixelFormat ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Override since windows don't usually have alpha.

Reimplemented from Ogre::RenderTarget.

Reimplemented in Ogre::VulkanWindow, Ogre::MetalRenderWindow, and Ogre::D3D9RenderWindow.

References Ogre::PF_BYTE_RGB.

◆ isDeactivatedOnFocusChange()

bool Ogre::RenderWindow::isDeactivatedOnFocusChange ( ) const

Returns true if the window will automatically de-activate itself when it loses focus.

◆ setDeactivateOnFocusChange()

void Ogre::RenderWindow::setDeactivateOnFocusChange ( bool  deactivate)

Indicates whether the window will automatically deactivate itself when it loses focus.

Parameters
deactivatea value of 'true' will cause the window to deactivate itself when it loses focus. 'false' will allow it to continue to render even when window focus is lost.
Note
'true' is the default behavior.
