Detailed Description

IMPORTANT: **Plugins must override default dictionary name!** Base class that texture plugins derive from.

Any specific requirements that the plugin needs to have defined before texture/material creation must be define using the stringinterface before calling create defined texture... or it will fail, though, it is up to the plugin to report errors to the log file, or raise an exception if need be.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::ExternalTextureSource ( )

Constructor.

virtual Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::~ExternalTextureSource ( ) [virtual]

Virtual destructor.

Definition at line 79 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

Member Function Documentation

void Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::addBaseParams ( )

Call from derived classes to ensure the dictionary is setup.

static void Ogre::StringInterface::cleanupDictionary ( ) [static, inherited]

Cleans up the static 'msDictionary' required to reset Ogre, otherwise the containers are left with invalid pointers, which will lead to a crash as soon as one of the ResourceManager implementers (e.g.

MaterialManager) initializes.

virtual void Ogre::StringInterface::copyParametersTo ( StringInterface * dest ) const [virtual, inherited]

Method for copying this object's parameters to another object.

Remarks:: This method takes the values of all the object's parameters and tries to set the same values on the destination object. This provides a completely type independent way to copy parameters to other objects. Note that because of the String manipulation involved, this should not be regarded as an efficient process and should be saved for times outside of the rendering loop.

: Any unrecognised parameters will be ignored as with setParameter method.

Parameters:

dest

Pointer to object to have it's parameters set the same as this object.

virtual void Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::createDefinedTexture	(	const String &	sMaterialName,
		const String &	groupName = `ResourceGroupManager::DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME`
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Creates a texture into an already defined material or one that is created new (it's up to plugin to use a material or create one) Before calling, ensure that needed params have been defined via the stringInterface or regular methods.

bool Ogre::StringInterface::createParamDictionary ( const String & className ) [protected, inherited]

Internal method for creating a parameter dictionary for the class, if it does not already exist.

Remarks:: This method will check to see if a parameter dictionary exist for this class yet, and if not will create one. NB you must supply the name of the class (RTTI is not used or performance).

Parameters:

className

the name of the class using the dictionary

Returns:: true if a new dictionary was created, false if it was already there

virtual void Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::destroyAdvancedTexture	(	const String &	sTextureName,
		const String &	groupName = `ResourceGroupManager::DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME`
	)			`[pure virtual]`

What this destroys is dependent on the plugin.

.. See specific plugin doc to know what is all destroyed (normally, plugins will destroy only what they created, or used directly - ie. just texture unit)

const String& Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::getDictionaryStringName ( void ) const

Returns dictionary name.

Definition at line 139 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

int Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::getFPS ( ) const

Gets currently set frames per second.

Definition at line 120 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

const String& Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::getInputName ( ) const

Gets currently set input file name.

Definition at line 116 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

const ParamDictionary* Ogre::StringInterface::getParamDictionary ( void ) const [inherited]

Definition at line 222 of file OgreStringInterface.h.

ParamDictionary* Ogre::StringInterface::getParamDictionary ( void ) [inherited]

Retrieves the parameter dictionary for this class.

Remarks:: Only valid to call this after createParamDictionary.

Returns:: Pointer to ParamDictionary shared by all instances of this class which you can add parameters to, retrieve parameters etc.

Definition at line 217 of file OgreStringInterface.h.

virtual String Ogre::StringInterface::getParameter ( const String & name ) const [virtual, inherited]

Generic parameter retrieval method.

Remarks:: Call this method with the name of a parameter to retrieve a string-format value of the parameter in question. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from getParameters for the type of this parameter. If you like you can use StringConverter to convert this string back into a native type.

Parameters:

name

The name of the parameter to get

Returns:: String value of parameter, blank if not found

Definition at line 270 of file OgreStringInterface.h.

References Ogre::ParamCommand::doGet(), and Ogre::ParamDictionary::getParamCommand().

const ParameterList& Ogre::StringInterface::getParameters ( void ) const [inherited]

Retrieves a list of parameters valid for this object.

Returns:: A reference to a static list of ParameterDef objects.

eTexturePlayMode Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::getPlayMode ( ) const

Gets currently set play mode.

Definition at line 124 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

const String& Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::getPluginStringName ( void ) const

Returns the string name of this Plugin (as set by the Plugin).

Definition at line 137 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

void Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::getTextureTecPassStateLevel	(	int &	t,
		int &	p,
		int &	s
	)			const

Get currently selected Texture attribs.

Definition at line 130 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

virtual bool Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::initialise ( ) [pure virtual]

Call this function from manager to init system.

void Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::setFPS ( int iFPS )

Sets the frames per second - plugin may or may not use this.

Definition at line 118 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

void Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::setInputName ( String sIN )

Sets an input file name - if needed by plugin.

Definition at line 114 of file OgreExternalTextureSource.h.

virtual bool Ogre::StringInterface::setParameter	(	const String &	name,
		const String &	value
	)			`[virtual, inherited]`

Generic parameter setting method.

Remarks:: Call this method with the name of a parameter and a string version of the value to set. The implementor will convert the string to a native type internally. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from StringInterface::getParameters.

Parameters:

	name	The name of the parameter to set
	value	String value. Must be in the right format for the type specified in the parameter definition. See the StringConverter class for more information.

Returns:: true if set was successful, false otherwise (NB no exceptions thrown - tolerant method)

virtual void Ogre::StringInterface::setParameterList ( const NameValuePairList & paramList ) [virtual, inherited]

Generic multiple parameter setting method.

Remarks:: Call this method with a list of name / value pairs to set. The implementor will convert the string to a native type internally. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from StringInterface::getParameters.

Parameters:

paramList

Name/value pair list

void Ogre::ExternalTextureSource::setPlayMode ( eTexturePlayMode eMode )

Sets a play mode.
