Detailed Description

Helper class for rendering generated GLSL code to produce images.

There are two main interfaces which can be used. One which takes in a HwShader and one which allows for explicit setting of shader stage code.

The main services provided are:

• Validation: All shader stages are compiled and atteched to a GLSL shader program.
• Introspection: The compiled shader program is examined for uniforms and attributes.
• Binding: Uniforms and attributes which match the predefined variables generated the GLSL code generator will have values assigned to this. This includes matrices, attribute streams, and textures.
• Rendering: The program with bound inputs will be used to drawing geometry to an offscreen buffer. An interface is provided to save this offscreen buffer to disk using an externally defined image handler.

Member Function Documentation

captureImage()

ImagePtr captureImage ( ImagePtr image = nullptr )

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from ShaderRenderer.

createProgram() [1/2]

void createProgram ( const StageMap & stages )

overridevirtual

Create GLSL program based on shader stage source code.

Parameters

stages

Map of name and source code for the shader stages.

Reimplemented from ShaderRenderer.
