Unigine::Utils Class

Header:#include <UnigineUtils.h>

This class contains the helper functions.

Utils Class

Members


int convertHeightsToNormals(ImagePtr & out, const ImagePtr & heights, float step_size)

Converts the elevation (height) map to the normal map.

Arguments

  • ImagePtr & out - Pointer to the target normal map.
  • const ImagePtr & heights - Source elevation (height) map.
  • float step_size - Grid cell step.

Return value

1 if the converting was successful; otherwise, 0.

void convertNodesToMesh(MeshPtr & out, const Vector<NodePtr> & nodes)

Creates a mesh out of the node array.

Arguments

  • MeshPtr & out - Pointer to the target mesh.
  • const Vector<NodePtr> & nodes - Array of the node pointers.

String date(const char * format, long long time)

Returns given time as a string. The content of format string with format specifiers expanded with the corresponding values that represent the time described in time.

Arguments

  • const char * format - Format string containing any combination of regular characters and special format specifiers. These format specifiers are replaced by the function to the corresponding values to represent the time specified in timeptr. They all begin with a percentage (%) sign, and are as follows:
    Specifier Replaced by Example
    %a Abbreviated weekday name Thu
    %b Abbreviated month name Aug
    %d Date and time representation equivalent to %a %b %D, %h:%m Thu Aug 23, 14:55
    %s Second (00-61) 15
    %m Minute (00-59) 55
    %h Hour (00-24) 14
    %D Month day (1-31) 25
    %M Month (1-12) 11
    %Y Year 2016
    %W Week day (1-7) 5
    % A % sign %
  • long long time - Time value.

String date(const char * format)

Returns current time as a string. The content of format string with format specifiers expanded with the corresponding values that represent the current time.

Arguments

  • const char * format - Format string containing any combination of regular characters and special format specifiers. These format specifiers are replaced by the function to the corresponding values to represent the time specified in timeptr. They all begin with a percentage (%) sign, and are as follows:
    Specifier Replaced by Example
    %a Abbreviated weekday name Thu
    %b Abbreviated month name Aug
    %d Date and time representation equivalent to %a %b %D, %h:%m Thu Aug 23, 14:55
    %s Second (00-61) 15
    %m Minute (00-59) 55
    %h Hour (00-24) 14
    %D Month day (1-31) 25
    %M Month (1-12) 11
    %Y Year 2016
    %W Week day (1-7) 5
    % A % sign %

NodePtr loadObjectMesh(const char * name)

Loads a mesh from a file. If the mesh is loaded successfully, its node does not belong to any node hierarchy, so be careful and make sure to handle it properly, when it is no longer needed.

Arguments

  • const char * name - Path to the mesh.

Return value

Pointer to the node corresponding to the loaded mesh; 0 if the mesh cannot be loaded.
