Detailed Description

handles properties associated with a texture map

vtkTexture is an object that handles loading and binding of texture maps. It obtains its data from an input image data dataset type. Thus you can create visualization pipelines to read, process, and construct textures. Note that textures will only work if texture coordinates are also defined, and if the rendering system supports texture.

Instances of vtkTexture are associated with actors via the actor's SetTexture() method. Actors can share texture maps (this is encouraged to save memory resources.)

Warning:
Currently only 2D texture maps are supported, even though the data pipeline supports 1,2, and 3D texture coordinates.

Some renderers such as OpenGL require that the texture map dimensions are a power of two in each direction. Other renderers may have similar (ridiculous) restrictions, so be careful out there... (Note: a recent change to vtk allows use of non-power of two texture maps in OpenGL. The texture is automatically resampled to a power of two in one or more directions.)

Member Function Documentation

static vtkTexture* vtkTexture::New (  )  [static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

virtual const char* vtkTexture::GetClassName (  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkImageAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

static int vtkTexture::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name  )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

virtual int vtkTexture::IsA ( const char *  name  )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

static vtkTexture* vtkTexture::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject o  )  [static]

Reimplemented from vtkImageAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

void vtkTexture::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkImageAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

virtual void vtkTexture::Render ( vtkRenderer ren  )  [virtual]

Renders a texture map. It first checks the object's modified time to make sure the texture maps Input is valid, then it invokes the Load() method.

virtual void vtkTexture::ReleaseGraphicsResources ( vtkWindow  )  [inline, virtual]

Release any graphics resources that are being consumed by this texture. The parameter window could be used to determine which graphic resources to release.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

Definition at line 81 of file vtkTexture.h.

virtual void vtkTexture::Load ( vtkRenderer  )  [inline, virtual]

Abstract interface to renderer. Each concrete subclass of vtkTexture will load its data into graphics system in response to this method invocation.

Reimplemented in vtkMesaTexture, and vtkOpenGLTexture.

Definition at line 86 of file vtkTexture.h.
