Detailed Description

This is the abstract base class for both sglPerspectiveCamera and sglOrthographicCamera classes. These classes are used to specify the frustum that is to be used for culling in SGL and setting up the projection for rendering in OpenGL. As such the class contains the sglCamera::getFrustum() method for obtaining a reference to the internal sglFrustum class (only double precision for now), so that it can be passed into the sglScene::cull(...) function. It also contains the pure virtual sglCamera::applyProjection() which will set OpenGL's projection matrix to correspond to the internal frustum.

In normal practice, an sglCamera is assigned to an sglViewPlatform to define a position and orientation of the eye point in the 3D scene. See sglViewPlatform's code example for an illustration of the use of these functions.

Member Function Documentation

const sglFrustumd & sglCamera::getFrustum ( ) const [inline]

Query the current view frustum. Currently only a double precision frustum is available (OpenGL only takes doubles for the glFrustum commands. Returns: A reference to the current frustum. Definition at line 68 of file sglCamera.hpp.

void sglCamera::applyProjection ( ) const [pure virtual]

Setup the OpenGL projection matrix to match the specified frustum. This function leaves the glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION) in effect (current) upon return. Reimplemented in sglOrthographicCamera, and sglPerspectiveCamera.

virtual void sglCamera::printInfo ( ostream & ostrm, const char * indent_string ) const [virtual]

Output the state of this node to the specified ostream. Parameters: ostrm   the ostream to which the output is sent indent_string   the string (usually spaces) that is output at the beginning of every line of output Reimplemented from sglObject. Reimplemented in sglOrthographicCamera, and sglPerspectiveCamera.
