Detailed Description

Abstract interface for a render target (base class).

This interface is the base class all render targets.

The render target holds an array of canvases. Each such canvas represents a layer in a framebuffer, e.g., one of them could be used to store the rendered color, another one for the z-buffer, and so on. Each of them can be tiled or not tiled.

A render mode can inquire the number of canvases passed in and their type. The types are used to determine the meaning of the canvas, e.g., TYPE_RESULT indicates the final image. See Section "Render target canvases" of the Iray Programmer's Manual for details.

Note that it is not guaranteed that all canvases have the same dimensions, though not all render modes have to support this.

Member Function Documentation

get_canvas() [1/2]

virtual const ICanvas_base * mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_base::get_canvas ( Uint32  index ) const

pure virtual

Returns a canvas by index.

Parameters

index

The index of the requested canvas. Use mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_base::get_canvas_count() to inquire the number of canvases.

Returns

The requested canvas, or NULL if index is out of bounds.

Implemented in mi::neuraylib::IRender_target, mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_cuda, and mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_opengl.

get_canvas() [2/2]

virtual ICanvas_base * mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_base::get_canvas ( Uint32  index )

pure virtual

Returns a canvas by index.

Parameters

index

The index of the requested canvas. Use mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_base::get_canvas_count() to inquire the number of canvases.

Returns

The requested canvas, or NULL if index is out of bounds.

Implemented in mi::neuraylib::IRender_target, mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_cuda, and mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_opengl.

get_canvas_count()

virtual Uint32 mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_base::get_canvas_count ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the number of canvases to render to.

Returns

The number

get_canvas_parameters()

virtual const ICanvas_parameters * mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_base::get_canvas_parameters ( Uint32  index ) const

pure virtual

Returns a set of parameters of the given canvas.

This function is used to query additional parameters associated with render target canvases. If a canvas does not support additional parameters or the canvas index is out of bounds, this function returns nullptr.

Parameters

index

The index of the requested canvas. Use get_canvas_count() to inquire the the number of canvases.

Returns

The parameter block as described above.

get_canvas_type()

virtual Canvas_type mi::neuraylib::IRender_target_base::get_canvas_type ( Uint32  index ) const

pure virtual

Returns the type of the given canvas.

Parameters

index

The index of the requested canvas. Use get_canvas_count() to inquire the the number of canvases.

Returns

The type of the requested canvas or mi::neuraylib::TYPE_UNDEFINED if index is out of bounds.
