vtkUniformVariables

Section: Visualization Toolkit Rendering Classes

Usage

vtkUniformVariables is a list of uniform variables attached to either a vtkShader2 object or to a vtkShaderProgram2. Uniform variables on a vtkShaderProgram2 override values of uniform variables on a vtkShader2.

To create an instance of class vtkUniformVariables, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkUniformVariables

Methods

The class vtkUniformVariables has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj is an instance of the vtkUniformVariables class.

string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkUniformVariables = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkUniformVariables = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
obj.SetUniformi (string name, int numberOfComponents, int value) - Set an integer uniform variable. \pre name_exists: name!=0 \pre value_exists: value!=0 \pre valid_numberOfComponents: numberOfComponents>=1 && numberOfComponents<=4
obj.SetUniformf (string name, int numberOfComponents, float value) - Set an float uniform variable. \pre name_exists: name!=0 \pre value_exists: value!=0 \pre valid_numberOfComponents: numberOfComponents>=1 && numberOfComponents<=4
obj.SetUniformiv (string name, int numberOfComponents, int numberOfElements, int value) - Set an array of integer uniform variables. The array `value' is of size `numberOfElements'*`numberOfComponents.'. \pre name_exists: name!=0 \pre value_exists: value!=0 \pre valid_numberOfComponents: numberOfComponents>=1 && numberOfComponents<=4 \pre valid_numberOfElements: numberOfElements>=1
obj.SetUniformfv (string name, int numberOfComponents, int numberOfElements, float value) - Set an array of float uniform variables. The array `value' is of size `numberOfElements'*`numberOfComponents.'. \pre name_exists: name!=0 \pre value_exists: value!=0 \pre valid_numberOfComponents: numberOfComponents>=1 && numberOfComponents<=4 \pre valid_numberOfElements: numberOfElements>=1
obj.SetUniformMatrix (string name, int rows, int columns, float value) - Set a matrix uniform variable. \pre name_exists: name!=0 \pre value_exists: value!=0 \pre valid_rows: rows>=2 && rows<=4 \pre valid_columns: columns>=2 && columns<=4
obj.RemoveUniform (string name) - Remove uniform `name' from the list.
obj.RemoveAllUniforms () - Remove all uniforms from the list.
obj.Send (string name, int uniformIndex) - \pre need a valid OpenGL context and a shader program in use.
obj.Start () - Place the internal cursor on the first uniform.
bool = obj.IsAtEnd () - Is the iteration done?
string = obj.GetCurrentName () - Name of the uniform at the current cursor position. \pre not_done: !this->IsAtEnd()
obj.SendCurrentUniform (int uniformIndex) - \pre need a valid OpenGL context and a shader program in use. \pre not_done: !this->IsAtEnd()
obj.Next () - Move the cursor to the next uniform. \pre not_done: !this->IsAtEnd()
obj.DeepCopy (vtkUniformVariables other) - Copy all the variables from `other'. Any existing variable will be deleted first. \pre other_exists: other!=0 \pre not_self: other!=this
obj.Merge (vtkUniformVariables other) - Copy all the variables from `other'. Any existing variable will be overwritten. \pre other_exists: other!=0 \pre not_self: other!=this
