Detailed Description

This interface describes the API for the general mesh factory.

iGeneralFactoryState inherits from iGeneralMeshState. All methods from iGeneralMeshState as set on the factory will serve as defaults for mesh objects that are created from this factory AFTER the default value is set. So changing such a value on the factory will have no effect on meshes already created. The material wrapper is an exception to this rule. Setting that on the factory will have an effect immediatelly on all mesh objects created from that factory except for those mesh objects that have their own material set.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::AddTriangle const csTriangle tri  )  [pure virtual]
 

Add a triangle.

This is one way to fill the triangle table. The other way is to use SetTriangleCount() and then fill the table manually.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::AddVertex const csVector3 v,
const csVector2 uv,
const csVector3 normal,
const csColor4 color
[pure virtual]
 

Add a vertex.

This is one way to fill the vertex and other tables. The other way is to use SetVertexCount() and then fill the tables manually.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::CalculateNormals bool  compress = true  )  [pure virtual]
 

Automatically calculate normals based on the current mesh.

/param compress if true (default) then calculate the normals based on compressed vertices.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::Compress  )  [pure virtual]
 

Compress the vertex table.

This should be called after setting up the geometry.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::GenerateBox const csBox3 box  )  [pure virtual]
 

Automatically generate a box.

This will set the number of vertices to eight and generate vertices, texels, normals, and triangles. The vertex colors are set to black.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::GenerateSphere const csEllipsoid ellips,
int  rim_vertices,
bool  cyl_mapping = false,
bool  toponly = false,
bool  reversed = false
[pure virtual]
 

Automatically generate a sphere.

This will set the apropriate number of vertices and generate vertices, texels, normals, and triangles. The vertex colors are set to black.

Parameters:
ellips Properties of the ellipsoid to generate.
rim_vertices Number of vertices on a rim.
cyl_mapping if true then use cylindrical texture mapping.
toponly if true then only generate the top half of the sphere.
reversed if true then generate the sphere so it is visible from the inside.

virtual iGenMeshAnimationControlFactory* iGeneralFactoryState::GetAnimationControlFactory  )  const [pure virtual]
 

Get the current animation control factory for this factory.

virtual csColor4* iGeneralFactoryState::GetColors  )  [pure virtual]
 

Get the array of colors.

It is legal to modify the colors in this array (but don't forget to call Invalidate()). The number of colors in this array will be equal to the number of vertices set. Note that modifying the colors will not do a lot if manual colors is not enabled (SetManualColors).

virtual csVector3* iGeneralFactoryState::GetNormals  )  [pure virtual]
 

Get the array of normals.

It is legal to modify the normals in this array (but don't forget to call Invalidate()). The number of normals in this array will be equal to the number of vertices set. Note that modifying the normals is only useful when manual colors are not enabled and lighting is enabled because the normals are used for lighting.

virtual csVector2* iGeneralFactoryState::GetTexels  )  [pure virtual]
 

Get the array of texels.

It is legal to modify the texels in this array (but don't forget to call Invalidate()). The number of texels in this array will be equal to the number of vertices set.

virtual int iGeneralFactoryState::GetTriangleCount  )  const [pure virtual]
 

Get the number of triangles for this mesh.

virtual csTriangle* iGeneralFactoryState::GetTriangles  )  [pure virtual]
 

Get the array of triangles.

It is legal to modify the triangles in this array (but don't forget to call Invalidate()). The number of triangles in this array will be equal to the number of triangles set.

virtual int iGeneralFactoryState::GetVertexCount  )  const [pure virtual]
 

Get the number of vertices for this mesh.

virtual csVector3* iGeneralFactoryState::GetVertices  )  [pure virtual]
 

Get the array of vertices.

It is legal to modify the vertices in this array (but don't forget to call Invalidate()). The number of vertices in this array will be equal to the number of vertices set.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::Invalidate  )  [pure virtual]
 

After making a significant change to the vertices or triangles you probably want to let this object recalculate the bounding boxes and such.

This function will invalidate the internal data structures so that they are recomputed.

virtual bool iGeneralFactoryState::IsAutoNormals  )  const [pure virtual]
 

Returns whether normals were autogenerated or manual.

virtual bool iGeneralFactoryState::IsBack2Front  )  const [pure virtual]
 

Get the value of the back2front flag.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::SetAnimationControlFactory iGenMeshAnimationControlFactory anim_ctrl  )  [pure virtual]
 

Set the animation control factory to use for this factory.

See iGenMeshAnimationControlFactory for more information.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::SetBack2Front bool  b2f  )  [pure virtual]
 

Enable back to front rendering for the triangles of this genmesh.

This is useful if this factory represents a transparent genmesh or the material that is being used is itself transparent.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::SetTriangleCount int  n  )  [pure virtual]
 

Set the number of triangles to use for this mesh.

The easiest way to set the triangle data is to just use AddTriangle(). However, you can also call SetTriangleCount() and then call GetTriangles() to set the data that way. Note that you have to call Invalidate() after modifying the triangle data this way.

virtual void iGeneralFactoryState::SetVertexCount int  n  )  [pure virtual]
 

Set the number of vertices to use for this mesh.

The easiest way to set the mesh data is to just use AddVertex(). However, you can also call SetVertexCount() and then call GetVertices(), GetTexels(), ... to set the data that way. Note that you have to call Invalidate() after modifying the vertex data this way.
