Function Documentation

makVrv::DtChannelConfiguration makeChannelConfiguration	(	makVrv::DtDe &	de,
		double	left = 0,
		double	right = 100,
		double	bottom = 0,
		double	top = 100
	)

Helper function creates a channel-configuration with a default name. Channel parameter values are percentages of the windows dimensions. This example creates a separate observer for each channel because the observer identifies the model-set to be rendered. Without creating separate observers, each channel would render exactly the same scene.

makVrv::DtWindowConfiguration makeWindowConfiguration	(	makVrv::DtDe &	de,
		int	x,
		int	y,
		unsigned int	numChannels = 1
	)

Helper function creates a window-configuration with a default name. The windows position must be specified, the number of channels is optional. These windows can be configured with one, two, three or four channels.

makVrv::DtDisplayConfiguration makeDisplayConfiguration	(	makVrv::DtDe &	de,
		const std::string &	name = "My Display Configuration"
	)

Helper function creates a display-configuration. This configuration creates multiple windows each with multiple channels.

void makeObserverConfigurations	(	makVrv::DtVrvApplicationConfiguration &	config,
		makVrv::DtDe &	de,
		const makVrv::DtDisplayConfiguration &	displayConfig
	)

Helper function creates observer configurations for each channel This function iterates through the configurations in the display configuration provided and creates and installs an observer configuration for each channel. These configurations are set up with different observer modes, which in turn has them viewing different model sets.

void inspectDisplayWindows

(

makVrv::DtDe &

de

)

Helper function to inspect the structure of the display, windows, channels and observers. This function just prints their names to the console.

std::string registerModelDefinition	(	makVrv::DtDe &	de,
		const std::string &	dataFile
	)

Helper function populates a makVrv::DtModelDefinitionManager with a model- description for later use. Generally, the manager loads all the model- descriptions from the disk, however, this example demonstrates how it is populated through code. This function returns the unique name generated for the model definition.

void addModelToTheScene	(	makVrv::DtDe &	de,
		const std::string &	modelName
	)

Helper function to load a geometry file and add it to the scene. This function creates a makVrv::DtSceneObject which is used to position and move models around the scene. A makVrv::DtOsgSimpleModel is created to manage the model geometry. The makVrv::DtOsgSimpleModel is added to the makVrv::DtSceneObject to place the model geometry in to the scene.

void loadTheScene

(

makVrv::DtDe &

de

)

Helper function to load all the models into the scene. For each model filename, this function creates a model-definition, then creates a scene-object to load that definition into the scene.
