Detailed Description

The base class for all GT primitive types.

Primitives represent geometric entities like spheres and polygons. There is a list of well-known primitives defined in GT_PrimitiveTypes.h. These are returned by the getPrimitiveType() method.

Each primitive must be able to compute a bounding box. Since a primitive may be part of a sequence of primitives, the primitive must be able to compute the bounding boxes for each segment.

const UT_StringMMPattern uniform_pattern,
const UT_StringMMPattern detail_pattern 
) const
inline

The attributeMerge method will return a new primitive, but with the given attributes merged in from the source primitive. If the method isn't implementd on the sub-class, or if the primitive types don't match, or if there are other errors, the method will return the original primitive (i.e. this).

Definition at line 254 of file GT_Primitive.h.

GT_PrimitiveHandle GT_Primitive::clone ( ) const
inline

Create a clone of this primitive, the clone may share references to the same data.

Definition at line 119 of file GT_Primitive.h.

virtual

Methods for GEO/GU support.

The default methods for these simply refine until a primitive can handle the method.

Reimplemented in GT_PrimPolygonMesh, GT_PrimCurveMesh, GT_PrimPolygon, GT_PrimCurve, GT_PrimFragments, and GT_PrimInstance.

virtual fpreal GT_Primitive::computeSurfaceArea ( int  seg = 0) const
virtual

Methods for GEO/GU support.

The default methods for these simply refine until a primitive can handle the method.

Reimplemented in GT_PrimPolygonMesh, GT_PrimPolygon, GT_PrimFragments, and GT_PrimInstance.

static bool GT_Primitive::computeVelocityRange ( UT_Vector3 vmin,
UT_Vector3 vmax,
const GT_DataArrayHandle v 
)
static

Convenience method to compute the velocity bounds given a data array Returns false if the data array handle wasn't valid. If invalid, vmin and vmax will be set to 0.

virtual fpreal GT_Primitive::computeVolume ( const UT_Vector3 ref_P,
int  seg = 0 
) const
virtual

Methods for GEO/GU support.

The default methods for these simply refine until a primitive can handle the method.

Reimplemented in GT_PrimPolygonMesh, GT_PrimPolygon, GT_PrimFragments, and GT_PrimInstance.

GT_PrimitiveHandle GT_Primitive::copyTransformed ( const GT_TransformHandle x,
bool  force = false 
) const

Create a transformed copy. This will transform a clone() of the primitive by the given transform. It's possible this primitive might be returned if the clone doesn't need to be transformed. The force parameter will force a clone to be created.

virtual GT_DataArrayHandle GT_Primitive::createPointNormals ( int  segment = 0,
const UT_StringRef P = GA_Names::P,
bool  normalize = true,
const fpreal32 pntdata = NULL,
GT_Storage  store = GT_STORE_REAL32 
) const
virtual

Methods defined on GT_Primitive which are a short-cut to avoid a static/dynamic cast of the primitive when we know that the primitive is a polygon mesh. These are not part of the interface of GT_Primitive per se.

Reimplemented in GT_PrimPolygonMesh.

static int GT_Primitive::createPrimitiveTypeId ( )
static

The GT library has pre-defined primitive types (see GT_PrimitiveType) Custom primitives may ask for an identifier which is guaranteed to be unique. These integers are created at run time and may have different values from run to run. They will always be greater or equal to GT_MAX_PRIM_TYPES.

virtual GT_PrimitiveHandle GT_Primitive::doAttributeMerge ( const GT_Primitive src,
const UT_StringMMPattern vertex,
const UT_StringMMPattern point,
const UT_StringMMPattern uniform,

) const
virtual
void GT_Primitive::dumpAttributeLists ( const char *  label,
bool  data_too 
) const

print out all attribute lists

void GT_Primitive::dumpPrimitive ( ) const

Dump the primitive. If the primitive's save() method isn't implemented (i.e. returns false), the attributes will be dumped.

void GT_Primitive::enlargeP ( UT_BoundingBox box,
const GT_AttributeListHandle list,
int  segment 
) const
protected

Convenience function to compute the point bounding box given an attribute list. This tests whether "P" is in homogeneous coordinates or not.

void GT_Primitive::enlargeP ( UT_BoundingBox B,
const GT_DataArrayHandle P 
) const
protected

Convenience method to enlarge a bounding box given a position attribute.

void GT_Primitive::enlargePw ( UT_BoundingBox B,
const GT_DataArrayHandle P 
) const
protected

Convenience method to enlarge a bounding box given P in homogeneous coordinates.

virtual void GT_Primitive::enlargeRenderBounds ( UT_BoundingBox  boxes[],
int  nsegments 
) const
virtual

This is used when computing bounds for rendering (not just geometric bounds). This normally just calls enlargeBounds(), but for some primitives, their bounds can be influenced by attribute values (i.e. the "width" in point mesh primitives). This allows proper bounds to be passed to mantra. Users may want to call enlargeWidth()

Reimplemented in GT_PrimCurveMesh, GT_PrimAgentShape, GT_PrimPointMesh, GT_GEOPrimPacked, GT_PrimFragments, GT_PrimInstance, GT_PrimCollect, GT_GEOPrimList, GT_PrimCurve, and GT_PrimMultiSegment.

bool GT_Primitive::enlargeWidth ( UT_BoundingBox  boxes[],
int  nsegments,
fpreal  defwidth = -1 
) const

Search attributes for a "width" or "pscale" attribute. If one is found, enlarge the bounding boxes by the maximum value of the attribute. If no attributes are found, use the defwidth. Returns true if an attribute was found

Note
If the defwidth is less than 0, the "mantra" default width will be used. Pass in 0 to leave the boxes unchanged.
GT_DataArrayHandle GT_Primitive::findAttribute ( const UT_StringRef name,
GT_Owner owner,
int  segment 
) const

Find an attribute of a given name. The search order is:
