Detailed Description

The SoGLPointSizeElement class changes the point size setting of the OpenGL render state.

Requests from the scene graph to change the point size when rendering point primitives will be made through this element, which forwards it to the appropriate native OpenGL call.

The Coin library does not place any bounds on the values of the point size, but be aware that the range and granularity of what is valid point sizes depends on the underlying OpenGL implementation. Application programmers using point primitives (typically through the SoPointSet node) should consider these boundary values. They can be acquired by running the following code from within a valid OpenGL context:

GLfloat bounds[2];
glGetFloatv(GL_POINT_SIZE_RANGE, bounds);
GLfloat granularity[1];
glGetFloatv(GL_POINT_SIZE_GRANULARITY, granularity);

Another, perhaps more convenient, way of acquiring the OpenGL implementation limits with regard to point sizes is to use the So@Gui@GLWidget::getPointSizeLimits() method in the GUI "glue" interface library you are using (SoQt, SoXt, SoGtk, SoWin, ...).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~SoGLPointSizeElement()

SoGLPointSizeElement::~SoGLPointSizeElement ( void )

protectedvirtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

createInstance()

void * SoGLPointSizeElement::createInstance ( void )

static

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object.

getClassStackIndex()

int SoGLPointSizeElement::getClassStackIndex ( void )

static

This static method returns the state stack index for the class.

getClassTypeId()

SoType SoGLPointSizeElement::getClassTypeId ( void )

static

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

init()

void SoGLPointSizeElement::init ( SoState * state )

virtual

Initializes the element to its default value. The default value for point size is 0.0.

Reimplemented from SoPointSizeElement.

initClass()

void SoGLPointSizeElement::initClass ( void )

static

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system.

pop()

void SoGLPointSizeElement::pop ( SoState * state, const SoElement * prevTopElement )

virtual

This method is called when the state is popped, and the depth of the element is bigger than the current state depth. pop() is called on the new top of stack, and a pointer to the previous top of stack is passed in prevTopElement.

Override this method if you need to copy some state information from the previous top of stack.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

push()

void SoGLPointSizeElement::push ( SoState * state )

virtual

This method is called every time a new element is required in one of the stacks. This happens when a writable element is requested, using SoState::getElement() or indirectly SoElement::getElement(), and the depth of the current element is less than the state depth.

Override this method if your element needs to copy data from the previous top of stack. The push() method is called on the new element, and the previous element can be found using SoElement::getNextInStack().

Reimplemented from SoElement.

setElt()

void SoGLPointSizeElement::setElt ( float val )

protectedvirtual

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Reimplemented from SoFloatElement.
