Detailed Description

create a window for renderers to draw into

vtkRenderWindow is an abstract object to specify the behavior of a rendering window. A rendering window is a window in a graphical user interface where renderers draw their images. Methods are provided to synchronize the rendering process, set window size, and control double buffering. The window also allows rendering in stereo. The interlaced render stereo type is for output to a VRex stereo projector. All of the odd horizontal lines are from the left eye, and the even lines are from the right eye. The user has to make the render window aligned with the VRex projector, or the eye will be swapped.

Warning:: In VTK versions 4 and later, the vtkWindowToImageFilter class is part of the canonical way to output an image of a window to a file (replacing the obsolete SaveImageAsPPM method for vtkRenderWindows that existed in 3.2 and earlier). Connect one of these filters to the output of the window, and filter's output to a writer such as vtkPNGWriter.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::StereoUpdate ( ) [virtual]

Update the system, if needed, due to stereo rendering. For some stereo methods, subclasses might need to switch some hardware settings here.

Reimplemented in vtkCocoaRenderWindow, vtkMesaRenderWindow, and vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::StereoMidpoint ( ) [virtual]

Intermediate method performs operations required between the rendering of the left and right eye.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::StereoRenderComplete ( ) [virtual]

Handles work required once both views have been rendered when using stereo rendering.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::SetAnaglyphColorSaturation ( float ) [virtual]

Set/get the anaglyph color saturation factor. This number ranges from 0.0 to 1.0: 0.0 means that no color from the original object is maintained, 1.0 means all of the color is maintained. The default value is 0.65. Too much saturation can produce uncomfortable 3D viewing because anaglyphs also use color to encode 3D.

virtual float vtkRenderWindow::GetAnaglyphColorSaturation ( ) [virtual]

Set/get the anaglyph color saturation factor. This number ranges from 0.0 to 1.0: 0.0 means that no color from the original object is maintained, 1.0 means all of the color is maintained. The default value is 0.65. Too much saturation can produce uncomfortable 3D viewing because anaglyphs also use color to encode 3D.

		int
	)			`[virtual]`

Set/get the anaglyph color mask values. These two numbers are bits mask that control which color channels of the original stereo images are used to produce the final anaglyph image. The first value is the color mask for the left view, the second the mask for the right view. If a bit in the mask is on for a particular color for a view, that color is passed on to the final view; if it is not set, that channel for that view is ignored. The bits are arranged as r, g, and b, so r = 4, g = 2, and b = 1. By default, the first value (the left view) is set to 4, and the second value is set to 3. That means that the red output channel comes from the left view, and the green and blue values come from the right view.

void vtkRenderWindow::SetAnaglyphColorMask ( int [2] )

Set/get the anaglyph color mask values. These two numbers are bits mask that control which color channels of the original stereo images are used to produce the final anaglyph image. The first value is the color mask for the left view, the second the mask for the right view. If a bit in the mask is on for a particular color for a view, that color is passed on to the final view; if it is not set, that channel for that view is ignored. The bits are arranged as r, g, and b, so r = 4, g = 2, and b = 1. By default, the first value (the left view) is set to 4, and the second value is set to 3.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::WindowRemap ( ) [pure virtual]

Remap the rendering window. This probably only works on UNIX right now. It is useful for changing properties that can't normally be changed once the window is up.

Implemented in vtkCarbonRenderWindow, vtkCocoaRenderWindow, vtkOSOpenGLRenderWindow, vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow, vtkWinCEOpenGLRenderWindow, vtkXMesaRenderWindow, and vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::SetSwapBuffers ( int ) [virtual]

Turn on/off buffer swapping between images.

virtual int vtkRenderWindow::GetSwapBuffers ( ) [virtual]

Turn on/off buffer swapping between images.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::SwapBuffersOn ( ) [virtual]

Turn on/off buffer swapping between images.

virtual void vtkRenderWindow::SwapBuffersOff ( ) [virtual]

Turn on/off buffer swapping between images.

virtual int vtkRenderWindow::SetPixelData	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	x2,
		int	y2,
		unsigned char *	data,
		int	front
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Set/Get the pixel data of an image, transmitted as RGBRGBRGB. The front argument indicates if the front buffer should be used or the back buffer. It is the caller's responsibility to delete the resulting array. It is very important to realize that the memory in this array is organized from the bottom of the window to the top. The origin of the screen is in the lower left corner. The y axis increases as you go up the screen. So the storage of pixels is from left to right and from bottom to top. (x,y) is any corner of the rectangle. (x2,y2) is its opposite corner on the diagonal.

Implemented in vtkMesaRenderWindow, and vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.

Same as Get/SetPixelData except that the image also contains an alpha component. The image is transmitted as RGBARGBARGBA... each of which is a float value. The "blend" parameter controls whether the SetRGBAPixelData method blends the data with the previous contents of the frame buffer or completely replaces the frame buffer data.
