 Return the default rendering root for the renderer. The default rendering root is typically a RenderingRoot that targets the entire screen (or rendering window).
GeometryBuffercreateGeometryBuffer ()
 Create a new GeometryBuffer and return a reference to it. You should remove the GeometryBuffer from any RenderQueues and call destroyGeometryBuffer when you want to destroy the GeometryBuffer.
void destroyGeometryBuffer (const GeometryBuffer &buffer)
 Destroy a GeometryBuffer that was returned when calling the createGeometryBuffer function. Before destroying any GeometryBuffer you should ensure that it has been removed from any RenderQueue that was using it.
void destroyAllGeometryBuffers ()

Member Function Documentation

static OpenGLRenderer& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::bootstrapSystem ( const TextureTargetType  tt_type = TTT_AUTO ) [static]

Convenience function that creates the required objects to initialise the CEGUI system.

The created Renderer will use the current OpenGL viewport as it's default surface size.

This will create and initialise the following objects for you:

Parameters:
tt_typeSpecifies one of the TextureTargetType enumerated values indicating the desired TextureTarget type to be used. Defaults to TTT_AUTO.
Returns:
Reference to the CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer object that was created.
static OpenGLRenderer& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::bootstrapSystem ( const Size display_size,
const TextureTargetType  tt_type = TTT_AUTO 
) [static]

Convenience function that creates the required objects to initialise the CEGUI system.

The created Renderer will use the current OpenGL viewport as it's default surface size.

This will create and initialise the following objects for you:

Parameters:
display_sizeSize object describing the initial display resolution.
tt_typeSpecifies one of the TextureTargetType enumerated values indicating the desired TextureTarget type to be used. Defaults to TTT_AUTO.
Returns:
Reference to the CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer object that was created.
static OpenGLRenderer& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::create ( const TextureTargetType  tt_type = TTT_AUTO ) [static]

Create an OpenGLRenderer object.

Parameters:
tt_typeSpecifies one of the TextureTargetType enumerated values indicating the desired TextureTarget type to be used.
static OpenGLRenderer& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::create ( const Size display_size,
const TextureTargetType  tt_type = TTT_AUTO 
) [static]

Create an OpenGLRenderer object.

Parameters:
display_sizeSize object describing the initial display resolution.
tt_typeSpecifies one of the TextureTargetType enumerated values indicating the desired TextureTarget type to be used.
GeometryBuffer& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::createGeometryBuffer (  ) [virtual]

Create a new GeometryBuffer and return a reference to it. You should remove the GeometryBuffer from any RenderQueues and call destroyGeometryBuffer when you want to destroy the GeometryBuffer.

Returns:
GeometryBuffer object.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

Texture& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::createTexture ( const Size size ) [virtual]

Create a Texture object with the given pixel dimensions as specified by size.

Parameters:
sizeSize object that describes the desired texture size.
Returns:
A newly created Texture object. The initial contents of the texture memory is undefined.
Note:
Due to possible limitations of the underlying hardware, API or engine, the final size of the texture may not match the requested size. You can check the ultimate sizes by querying the Texture object after creation.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

Texture& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::createTexture (  ) [virtual]

Create a 'null' Texture object.

Returns:
A newly created Texture object. The returned Texture object has no size or imagery associated with it.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

Texture& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::createTexture ( GLuint  tex,
const Size sz 
)

Create a texture that uses an existing OpenGL texture with the specified size. Note that it is your responsibility to ensure that the OpenGL texture is valid and that the specified size is accurate.

Parameters:
szSize object that describes the pixel size of the OpenGL texture identified by tex.
Returns:
Texture object that wraps the OpenGL texture tex, and whose size is specified to be sz.
Texture& CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::createTexture ( const String filename,
const String resourceGroup 
) [virtual]

Create a Texture object using the given image file.

Parameters:
filenameString object that specifies the path and filename of the image file to use when creating the texture.
resourceGroupString objet that specifies the resource group identifier to be passed to the resource provider when loading the texture file filename.
Returns:
A newly created Texture object. The initial content of the texture memory is the requested image file.
Note:
Due to possible limitations of the underlying hardware, API or engine, the final size of the texture may not match the size of the loaded file. You can check the ultimate sizes by querying the Texture object after creation.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

TextureTarget* CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::createTextureTarget (  ) [virtual]

Create a TextureTarget that can be used to cache imagery; this is a RenderTarget that does not lose it's content from one frame to another.

If the renderer is unable to offer such a thing, 0 should be returned.

Returns:
Pointer to a TextureTarget object that is suitable for caching imagery, or 0 if the renderer is unable to offer such a thing.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

static void CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::destroy ( OpenGLRenderer renderer ) [static]

Destroy an OpenGLRenderer object.

Parameters:
rendererThe OpenGLRenderer object to be destroyed.
void CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::destroyGeometryBuffer ( const GeometryBuffer buffer ) [virtual]

Destroy a GeometryBuffer that was returned when calling the createGeometryBuffer function. Before destroying any GeometryBuffer you should ensure that it has been removed from any RenderQueue that was using it.

Parameters:
bufferThe GeometryBuffer object to be destroyed.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

static void CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::destroySystem (  ) [static]

Convenience function to cleanup the CEGUI system and related objects that were created by calling the bootstrapSystem function.

This function will destroy the following objects for you:

Note:
If you did not initialise CEGUI by calling the bootstrapSystem function, you should not call this, but rather delete any objects you created manually.
void CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::destroyTexture ( Texture texture ) [virtual]

Destroy a Texture object that was previously created by calling the createTexture functions.

Parameters:
textureTexture object to be destroyed.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

void CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::destroyTextureTarget ( TextureTarget target ) [virtual]

Function that cleans up TextureTarget objects created with the createTextureTarget function.

Parameters:
targetA pointer to a TextureTarget object that was previously returned from a call to createTextureTarget.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

void CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::enableExtraStateSettings ( bool  setting )

Tells the renderer to initialise some extra states beyond what it directly needs itself for CEGUI.

This option is useful in cases where you've made changes to the default OpenGL state and do not want to save/restore those between CEGUI rendering calls. Note that this option will not deal with every possible state or extension - if you want a state added here, make a request and we'll consider it ;)

Size CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::getAdjustedTextureSize ( const Size sz ) const

Helper to return a valid texture size according to reported OpenGL capabilities.

Parameters:
szSize object containing input size.
Returns:
Size object containing - possibly different - output size.

Return the default rendering root for the renderer. The default rendering root is typically a RenderingRoot that targets the entire screen (or rendering window).

Returns:
RenderingRoot object that is the default RenderingSurface provided by the Renderer.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.

void CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::setDisplaySize ( const Size size ) [virtual]

Set the size of the display or host window in pixels for this Renderer object.

This is intended to be called by the System as part of the notification process when display size changes are notified to it via the System::notifyDisplaySizeChanged function.

Note:
The Renderer implementation should not use this function other than to perform internal state updates on the Renderer and related objects.
Parameters:
sizeSize object describing the dimesions of the current or host window in pixels.

Implements CEGUI::Renderer.
