int compareTo (const RenderAttrib other)
 Provides an arbitrary ordering among all unique RenderAttribs, so we can store the essentially different ones in a big set and throw away the rest. More...
 
const RenderAttrib compose (const RenderAttrib other)
 Returns a new RenderAttrib object that represents the composition of this attrib with the other attrib. In most cases, this is the same as the other attrib; a compose b produces b. Some kinds of attributes, like a TextureTransform, for instance, might produce a new result: a compose b produces c. More...
 
const RenderAttrib getAutoShaderAttrib (const RenderState state)
 Returns the variant of this RenderAttrib that's most relevant for associating with an auto-generated shader. This should be a new RenderAttrib of the same type as this one, with any superfluous data set to neutral. Only the parts of the attrib that contribute to the shader should be reflected in the returned attrib. The idea is to associate the auto-generated shader with the most neutral form of all states, to allow it to be shared across as many RenderState objects as possible. More...
 
size_t getHash ()
 Returns a suitable hash value for phash_map. More...
 
int getSlot ()
 
const RenderAttrib getUnique ()
 Returns the pointer to the unique RenderAttrib in the cache that is equivalent to this one. This may be the same pointer as this object, or it may be a different pointer; but it will be an equivalent object, and it will be a shared pointer. This may be called from time to time to improve cache benefits. More...
 
const RenderAttrib invertCompose (const RenderAttrib other)
 Returns a new RenderAttrib object that represents the composition of the inverse of this attrib with the other attrib. In most cases, this is the same as the other attrib; !a compose b produces b. Some kinds of attributes, like a TextureTransform, for instance, might produce a new result: !a compose b produces c. More...

 Converts the TypedWritable object into a single stream of data using a BamWriter, and stores that data in the indicated string. Returns true on success, false on failure. More...
 
UpdateSeq getBamModified ()
 Returns the current bam_modified counter. This counter is normally incremented automatically whenever the object is modified. More...
 
 markBamModified ()
 Increments the bam_modified counter, so that this object will be invalidated and retransmitted on any open bam streams. This should normally not need to be called by user code; it should be called internally when the object has been changed in a way that legitimately requires its retransmission to any connected clients.

 Derived classes should override this function to return get_class_type(). More...

 Returns the internal index number associated with this object's TypeHandle, a unique number for each different type. This is equivalent to get_type().get_index(). More...

int getRefCount ()
 Returns the current reference count. More...
 
 ref ()
 Explicitly increments the reference count. User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically. More...
 
bool testRefCountIntegrity ()
 Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise. More...
 
bool testRefCountNonzero ()
 Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't zero, or completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise. More...
 
bool unref ()
 Explicitly decrements the reference count. Note that the object will not be implicitly deleted by unref() simply because the reference count drops to zero. (Having a member function delete itself is problematic.) However, see the helper function unref_delete(). More...
