Detailed Description

This widget provide a simple system to visualize data/graph with OpenGL 3D engine.

This widget is an interface between Qt Widget system and tulip OpenGL engine The central object of GlMainWidget is the GlScene member

GlScene

To use this class you have to :

See also
GlLayer
GlSimpleEntity

If you only want to visualize a graph, you can call the setGraph function

After scene construction you can perform some operation on GlMainWidget :

Examples:
graph_display/graph_display.cpp.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Configure the rendering process ( see render function)

See also
render
Enumerator
SwapBuffers 

Force to render the graph even if there is a previous buffered render. You need to call this option if the graph is updated to regenerate the buffer. If not set try to use the last buffered graph render, if there is no valid buffer this flag is forced.

void tlp::GlMainWidget::redraw ( )
slot

This function is given for optimisation purpose only. If the hardware enable it, it enables to redraw only the Augmented display and the interactors and not the graph it is really usefull for interactors such as zoom box etc.. Warning, if you change the graph or the porperties of element (Colors, size, etc...) applying that fonction will not display the change, in that case, use the draw function.

void tlp::GlMainWidget::render ( RenderingOptions  options = RenderingOptions(RenderScene|SwapBuffers),
bool  checkVisibility = true

This function performs all the rendering process of the graph. Use this function only for advanced purpose, if you want to perform simple rendering use the draw or redraw functions instead.

Parameters
optionsConfigure the rendering process, see the RenderingOption documentation for more information on each rendering option effect.

Specify if an advanced technique for better scene anti-aliasing has to be activated.

That option allows to obtain a better scene antialiasing through the use of offscreen rendering and sampling. The result rendering will look better while the performance will be slightly altered. That option is desactivated by default. Use it with caution as it could cause crashes with some buggy OpenGL drivers.
