Detailed Description

Class for rendering surface meshes using OpenGL.

Member Function Documentation

load_matcap()

void load_matcap

(

const char *

filename

)

Load mat-cap texture from file.

The mat-cap will be used whenever the drawing mode is "Texture". This also means that you cannot have texture and mat-cap at the same time.

Parameters

filename

the location and name of the texture

See also

See src/apps/mview.cpp for an example usage.

Exceptions

IOException

in case of failure to load texture from file

load_texture()

void load_texture	(	const char *	filename,
		GLint	format = GL_RGB,
		GLint	min_filter = GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR,
		GLint	mag_filter = GL_LINEAR,
		GLint	wrap = GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE
	)

Load texture from file.

Parameters

filename	the location and name of the texture
format	internal format (GL_RGB, GL_RGBA, GL_SRGB8, etc.)
min_filter	interpolation filter for minification
mag_filter	interpolation filter for magnification
wrap	texture coordinates wrap preference

Exceptions

IOException

in case of failure to load texture from file

set_use_colors()

void set_use_colors ( bool  use_colors )

inline

Control usage of color information.

Either per-vertex or per-face colors can be used. Vertex colors are only used if the mesh has a per-vertex property of type Color named "v:color". Face colors are only used if the mesh has a per-face property of type Color named "f:color". If set to false, the default front and back colors are used. Default is true.

Note

Vertex colors take precedence over face colors.
