Detailed Description

This class draws a visible representation of the NURBS surface stored in its NurbsSurfaceEvaluator.

It automatically recomputes the surface every frame.

This is not related to NurbsSurface, CubicSurfaceseg or any of the ParametricSurface-derived objects in this module. It is a completely parallel implementation of NURBS surfaces, and will probably eventually replace the whole ParametricSurface class hierarchy.

void SheetNode::compute_internal_bounds	(	CPT(BoundingVolume)&	internal_bounds,
		int &	internal_vertices,
		int	pipeline_stage,
		Thread *	current_thread
	)		const `[protected, virtual]`

Called when needed to recompute the node's _internal_bound object.

Nodes that contain anything of substance should redefine this to do the right thing.

Reimplemented from PandaNode.

Definition at line 240 of file sheetNode.cxx.

bool SheetNode::cull_callback	(	CullTraverser *	trav,
		CullTraverserData &	data
	)		`[virtual]`

This function will be called during the cull traversal to perform any additional operations that should be performed at cull time.

This may include additional manipulation of render state or additional visible/invisible decisions, or any other arbitrary operation.

Note that this function will *not* be called unless set_cull_callback() is called in the constructor of the derived class. It is necessary to call set_cull_callback() to indicated that we require cull_callback() to be called.

By the time this function is called, the node has already passed the bounding-volume test for the viewing frustum, and the node's transform and state have already been applied to the indicated CullTraverserData object.

The return value is true if this node should be visible, or false if it should be culled.

Reimplemented from PandaNode.

void SheetNode::fillin	(	DatagramIterator &	scan,
		BamReader *	manager
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

This internal function is called by make_from_bam to read in all of the relevant data from the BamFile for the new SheetNode.

Returns the surface represented by the SheetNode.

bool SheetNode::get_use_vertex_color ( ) const [inline]

Returns the "use vertex color" flag.

See set_use_vertex_color().

Definition at line 89 of file sheetNode.I.

bool SheetNode::is_renderable ( ) const [virtual]

Returns true if there is some value to visiting this particular node during the cull traversal for any camera, false otherwise.

This will be used to optimize the result of get_net_draw_show_mask(), so that any subtrees that contain only nodes for which is_renderable() is false need not be visited.

Reimplemented from PandaNode.

Definition at line 179 of file sheetNode.cxx.

PandaNode * SheetNode::make_copy ( ) const [virtual]

Returns a newly-allocated Node that is a shallow copy of this one.

It will be a different Node pointer, but its internal data may or may not be shared with that of the original Node.

Reimplemented from PandaNode.

Definition at line 106 of file sheetNode.cxx.

TypedWritable * SheetNode::make_from_bam ( const FactoryParams & params ) [static, protected]

This function is called by the BamReader's factory when a new object of type SheetNode is encountered in the Bam file.

It should create the SheetNode and extract its information from the file.

Reimplemented from PandaNode.

Definition at line 416 of file sheetNode.cxx.

void SheetNode::output ( ostream & out ) const [virtual]

Outputs the Namable.

This function simply writes the name to the output stream; most Namable derivatives will probably redefine this.

Reimplemented from PandaNode.

Definition at line 189 of file sheetNode.cxx.

void SheetNode::register_with_read_factory ( ) [static]

Tells the BamReader how to create objects of type SheetNode.

References BamReader::get_factory(), make_from_bam(), and Factory< Type >::register_factory().

void SheetNode::reset_bound ( const NodePath & rel_to )

Recomputes the bounding volume.

This is normally called automatically, but it must occasionally be called explicitly when the surface has changed properties outside of this node's knowledge.

References Thread::get_current_thread(), Thread::get_pipeline_stage(), and PandaNode::mark_internal_bounds_stale().

bool SheetNode::safe_to_transform ( ) const [virtual]

Returns true if it is generally safe to transform this particular kind of Node by calling the xform() method, false otherwise.

For instance, it's usually a bad idea to attempt to xform a SheetNode.

Reimplemented from PandaNode.

Definition at line 119 of file sheetNode.cxx.

void SheetNode::set_num_u_subdiv ( int num_u_subdiv ) [inline]

Specifies the number of subdivisions per cubic segment (that is, per unique knot value) to draw in a fixed uniform tesselation of the surface in the U direction.

Definition at line 103 of file sheetNode.I.

void SheetNode::set_num_v_subdiv ( int num_v_subdiv ) [inline]

Specifies the number of subdivisions per cubic segment (that is, per unique knot value) to draw in a fixed uniform tesselation of the surface in the V direction.

Definition at line 130 of file sheetNode.I.

void SheetNode::set_surface ( NurbsSurfaceEvaluator * surface ) [inline]

Sets the particular surface represented by the SheetNode.

Definition at line 50 of file sheetNode.I.

void SheetNode::set_use_vertex_color ( bool flag ) [inline]

Sets the "use vertex color" flag.

When this is true, the R, G, B, A vertex color is assumed to be stored as the dimensions 0, 1, 2, 3, respectively, of the extended vertex values. Use NurbsCurveEvaluator::set_extended_vertex() to set these values.

void SheetNode::write_datagram	(	BamWriter *	manager,
		Datagram &	dg
	)		`[virtual]`

Writes the contents of this object to the datagram for shipping out to a Bam file.
