GLFX::ITechnique Struct Reference

#include <glfx.h>

List of all members.

Detailed Description

The parameters are controlled through IEffect interface. Used to render a effect. A technique consits of a number of passes. To render a technique proceed as in this code sample:

    ITechnique* tec = effect->FindTechnique("Tec0");
    tec->Begin();
    for(int i = 0; i < tec->GetPassCount(); i++) {
   		tec->BeginPass(i);
   		RenderObject();
   		tec->EndPass();
    }
    tec->End();
    

Note that only valid techniques are compiled and can be used.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool GLFX::ITechnique::Begin

(

)

[pure virtual]

Begins rendering of a technique.

This methods has to be called prior to any BeginPass(). Each Begin() has to be matched with one End() call. Failing to do this will result in an error.

Returns:

true if successful

virtual bool GLFX::ITechnique::End

(

)

[pure virtual]

Ends rendering of a technique.

Will fail if called without prior Begin() or if within pass rendering.

Returns:

true if successful

virtual bool GLFX::ITechnique::BeginPass

(

int

num

)

[pure virtual]

Begins rendering of a pass.

This call will fail if not within Begin(), End() block.

Parameters:

num

pass number

Returns:

true if successful

virtual bool GLFX::ITechnique::EndPass

(

)

[pure virtual]

Ends rendering current pass.

Fails if not called after BeginPass().

Returns:

true if successful

virtual long GLFX::ITechnique::GetPassCount

(

)

[pure virtual]

Returns number of render passes in this technique.

Returns:

number of render passes

virtual const char* GLFX::ITechnique::GetName

(

)

[pure virtual]

Returns name of this technique.

Returns:

technique name
