FieldHeight Class

Members

---

static FieldHeightPtr create ( ) #

The default constructor. Creates a FieldHeight instance with the default size vec3(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f).

void setAttenuation ( float attenuation ) #

Sets the FieldHeight's attenuation factor value. The attenuation factor indicates the rate of FiledHeight influence attenuation from the center of the object to its edges. By default the attenuation factor is set to 1.0f.

Arguments

• float attenuation - Attenuation factor. The higher the value, the less FieldHeight's heights will have influence on the Global Water's object heights.

float getAttenuation ( ) const#

Returns the FieldHeight's attenuation factor value. The attenuation factor indicates the rate of FiledHeight influence attenuation from the center of the object to its edges.

Return value

Attenuation factor. The higher the value, the less FieldHeight's heights will have influence on the Global Water's object heights. The default value is 1.0f.

void setTexture ( const Ptr<Texture> & texture ) #

Sets the given texture from the Texture instance for the FieldHeight.

Arguments

• const Ptr<Texture> & texture - Texture instance.

Ptr<Texture> getTexture ( ) const#

Returns the heightmap texture (from GPU) and saves it into the given Texture instance.

Return value

Texture instance into which the texture will be saved.

int setTextureImage ( const Ptr<Image> & image ) #

Sets the given image as the heightmap texture of the FieldHeight.

Arguments

• const Ptr<Image> & image - Image instance with heightmap for FieldHeight.

Return value

1 if the texture is set successfully; otherwise, 0.

int getTextureImage ( const Ptr<Image> & image ) const#

Grabs the texture for the FieldHeight (already loaded to GPU) and saves it into the given Image instance.

Arguments

• const Ptr<Image> & image - Image instance into which the texture will be saved.

Return value

1 if the texture has been grabbed successfully; otherwise, 0.

void setTexturePath ( const char * path ) #

Sets the path to the FieldHeight's heightmap texture.

Arguments

• const char * path - Path to the heightmap texture.

const char * getTexturePath ( ) const#

Returns the path to the FieldHeight's heightmap texture.

Return value

Path to the heightmap texture.

void setPower ( float power ) #

Sets the FieldHeight's power value. The power is a multiplier for loaded heightmap texture values. By default the power is set to 1.0f.

Arguments

• float power - Power value. The higher the value, the more FieldHeight's heights will have influence on the Global Water's object heights.

float getPower ( ) const#

Returns the FieldHeight's power value. The power is a multiplier for loaded heightmap texture values.

Return value

Power value. The higher the value, the more FieldHeight's heights will have influence on the Global Water's object heights. The default value is 1.0f.

void setSize ( const Math::vec3 & size ) #

Sets the vec3 size vector of the FieldHeight's object. By default, the size is (1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f).

Arguments

• const Math::vec3 & size - Size vector (x,y,z), where:
  • x value is length of the FieldHeight along X axis (in units),
  • y value is length of the FieldHeight along Y axis (in units),
  • z value is length of the FieldHeight along Z axis (in units).

Math::vec3 getSize ( ) const#

Returns the vec3 size vector of the FieldHeight's object.

Return value

Size vector (x,y,z), where:

• x value is length of the FieldHeight along X axis (in units),
• y value is length of the FieldHeight along Y axis (in units),
• z value is length of the FieldHeight along Z axis (in units).

The default value is ( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f).

static int type ( ) #

Returns the type of the object.

Return value

FieldHeight type identifier.

void setOrder ( int order ) #

Sets the field height rendering order.

Arguments

• int order - Rendering order to set.

int getOrder ( ) const#

Returns the current field height rendering order.

Return value

Rendering order.

void setBlendMode ( int mode ) #

Sets the field height blending mode.

Arguments

• int mode - Blending mode to be set. One of the BLEND_*values.Blending mode to be set. One of the FIELD_HEIGHT_BLEND_*values.

int getBlendMode ( ) const#

Returns the current field height blending mode.

Return value

Blending mode. One of the BLEND_*values.Blending mode. One of the FIELD_HEIGHT_BLEND_*values.
