Detailed Description

Specialisation of HardwareBuffer for a pixel buffer.

The HardwarePixelbuffer abstracts an 1D, 2D or 3D quantity of pixels stored by the rendering API. The buffer can be located on the card or in main memory depending on its usage. One mipmap level of a texture is an example of a HardwarePixelBuffer.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Ogre::HardwareBuffer::LockOptions [inherited]

Locking options.

Enumeration values:

HBL_NORMAL Normal mode, ie allows read/write and contents are preserved.

HBL_DISCARD Discards the entire buffer while locking; this allows optimisation to be performed because synchronisation issues are relaxed.
Only allowed on buffers created with the HBU_DYNAMIC flag.

HBL_READ_ONLY Lock the buffer for reading only.
Not allowed in buffers which are created with HBU_WRITE_ONLY. Mandatory on statuc buffers, ie those created without the HBU_DYNAMIC flag.

HBL_NO_OVERWRITE As HBL_NORMAL, except the application guarantees not to overwrite any region of the buffer which has already been used in this frame, can allow some optimisation on some APIs.

Definition at line 111 of file OgreHardwareBuffer.h.

enum Ogre::HardwareBuffer::Usage [inherited]

Enums describing buffer usage; not mutually exclusive.

Enumeration values:

HBU_STATIC Static buffer which the application rarely modifies once created.
Modifying the contents of this buffer will involve a performance hit.

HBU_DYNAMIC Indicates the application would like to modify this buffer with the CPU fairly often.
Buffers created with this flag will typically end up in AGP memory rather than video memory.

HBU_WRITE_ONLY Indicates the application will never read the contents of the buffer back, it will only ever write data.
Locking a buffer with this flag will ALWAYS return a pointer to new, blank memory rather than the memory associated with the contents of the buffer; this avoids DMA stalls because you can write to a new memory area while the previous one is being used.

HBU_DISCARDABLE Indicates that the application will be refilling the contents of the buffer regularly (not just updating, but generating the contents from scratch), and therefore does not mind if the contents of the buffer are lost somehow and need to be recreated.
This allows and additional level of optimisation on the buffer. This option only really makes sense when combined with HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY.

HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY Combination of HBU_STATIC and HBU_WRITE_ONLY.

HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY Combination of HBU_DYNAMIC and HBU_WRITE_ONLY.
If you use this, strongly consider using HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY_DISCARDABLE instead if you update the entire contents of the buffer very regularly.

HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY_DISCARDABLE Combination of HBU_DYNAMIC, HBU_WRITE_ONLY and HBU_DISCARDABLE.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void Ogre::HardwarePixelBuffer::_clearSliceRTT ( size_t zoffset ) [protected, virtual]

Notify TextureBuffer of destruction of render target.
Called by RenderTexture when destroyed.
Reimplemented in Ogre::D3D9HardwarePixelBuffer, and Ogre::GLTextureBuffer.

virtual void Ogre::HardwareBuffer::_updateFromShadow ( void ) [virtual, inherited]

Updates the real buffer from the shadow buffer, if required.

Definition at line 275 of file OgreHardwareBuffer.h.

void Ogre::HardwarePixelBuffer::blit ( const HardwarePixelBufferSharedPtr & src )

Convience function that blits the entire source pixel buffer to this buffer.
If source and destination dimensions don't match, scaling is done.
Parameters:

src PixelBox containing the source pixels and format in memory

Note:
Only call this function when the buffer is unlocked.

virtual void Ogre::HardwarePixelBuffer::blit ( const HardwarePixelBufferSharedPtr & src,

const Image::Box & srcBox,

const Image::Box & dstBox

) [virtual]

Copies a box from another PixelBuffer to a region of the this PixelBuffer.

Parameters:

dst Source pixel buffer

srcBox Image::Box describing the source region in src

dstBox Image::Box describing the destination region in this buffer

Remarks:
The source and destination regions dimensions don't have to match, in which case scaling is done. This scaling is generally done using a bilinear filter in hardware, but it is faster to pass the source image in the right dimensions.

Note:
Only call this function when both buffers are unlocked.

Reimplemented in Ogre::D3D9HardwarePixelBuffer, and Ogre::GLTextureBuffer.

void Ogre::HardwarePixelBuffer::blitFromMemory ( const PixelBox & src )

Convience function that blits a pixelbox from memory to the entire buffer.
The source image is scaled as needed.
Parameters:

src PixelBox containing the source pixels and format in memory

Note:
Only call this function when the buffer is unlocked.

Definition at line 139 of file OgreHardwarePixelBuffer.h.

virtual void Ogre::HardwarePixelBuffer::blitFromMemory ( const PixelBox & src,

const Image::Box & dstBox

) [pure virtual]

Copies a region from normal memory to a region of this pixelbuffer.
The source image can be in any pixel format supported by OGRE, and in any size.
Parameters:

src PixelBox containing the source pixels and format in memory

dstBox Image::Box describing the destination region in this buffer

Remarks:
The source and destination regions dimensions don't have to match, in which case scaling is done. This scaling is generally done using a bilinear filter in hardware, but it is faster to pass the source image in the right dimensions.

Note:
Only call this function when the buffer is unlocked.

Implemented in Ogre::D3D9HardwarePixelBuffer, Ogre::GLHardwarePixelBuffer, and Ogre::GLTextureBuffer.

void Ogre::HardwarePixelBuffer::blitToMemory ( const PixelBox & dst )

Definition at line 312 of file OgreHardwareBuffer.h.

virtual void Ogre::HardwareBuffer::unlock ( void ) [virtual, inherited]

Releases the lock on this buffer.

Remarks:
Locking and unlocking a buffer can, in some rare circumstances such as switching video modes whilst the buffer is locked, corrupt the contents of a buffer. This is pretty rare, but if it occurs, this method will throw an exception, meaning you must re-upload the data.

Note that using the 'read' and 'write' forms of updating the buffer does not suffer from this problem, so if you want to be 100% sure your data will not be lost, use the 'read' and 'write' forms instead.
