class TerrainBounds in Tinman.Terrain.Meshing

The TerrainBounds class traverses the filtered mesh (see FilterIn) and outputs a bounding box in terrain-space for each mesh sector (see BoundsSectors), optionally clipped to the bounding box of the terrain and the view frustum.

sealed class	TerrainBounds	implements	IMeshBoundMinRadius
			IMeshBoundMinSize
		extends	MeshTraversal

Remarks

The following vertex data semantics are used by this class:

• required : Position
• required : Radius
• required : HeightmapCoords
• required : Elevation
• required : ElevationMinMax
• optional : LevelOfDetail

Public / Attributes

BoundsSectors

The collected terrain mesh sector bounds.

public property	BoundsSectors { get set }
type	BoxSoup
value		The box soup that receives the mesh sector bounds.

CameraInfo

The object that provides the current camera position.

public property	CameraInfo { get set }
type	CameraInfo
value	[not-null]	The camera position provider.
implements	ICameraInfoDependent.CameraInfo

FilterIn

The mesh tree input filter to use for querying sector culling and marks.

public property	FilterIn { get set }
type	MeshTreeFilter
value		The filter or null.
inherited	MeshTraversal.FilterIn

Remarks:

The default value is null (i.e. all mesh sectors are visited).

See also:

MeshTree.GetRoot
MeshTree.GetChild
MeshTree.GetDown

FilterOut

The mesh tree output filter to use for performing sector culling and marking.

public property	FilterOut { get set }
type	MeshTreeFilter
value		The mesh tree filter object.
inherited	MeshTraversal.FilterOut

Remarks:

This MeshTreeFilter is not reset automatically. The application is responsible to call Reset.

The default value is null (i.e. the input filter is used in that case).

MeshTree.SectorMark
MeshTree.SectorMarkRoots

Frustum

Optional view frustum to use.

public property	Frustum { get set }
type	IFrustum
value	[not-null]	The view frustum.

HasMesh

Has this object been bound to an IMesh object?

public property	HasMesh { get }
type	bool
value		true if this object is currently bound to an IMesh, false if not.
inherited	MeshBoundBase.HasMesh

Mesh

The CLOD mesh this object is currently bound to.

public property	Mesh { get }
type	IMesh
value		The CLOD mesh or null.
inherited	MeshBoundBase.Mesh

MinRadius

The mesh sector quadtree is traversed until the bounding sphere radius of a mesh sector falls below this limit.

public property	MinRadius { get set }
type	float32
value	[>=0]	The minimum bounding sphere radius, in terrain-space.
implements	IMeshBoundMinRadius.MinRadius

Remarks:

The default value is 0 (i.e. the entire mesh is traversed).

MinSize

The mesh sector quadtree is traversed until the projected screen-size of a mesh sector falls below this limit.

public property	MinSize { get set }
type	float32
value	[>=0]	Minimum sector size, in screen-space.
implements	IMeshBoundMinSize.MinSize

Remarks:

This value is the square root of the approximated pixel area of the mesh sector on the screen.

The default value is 256.0f pixels.

Offset

Vertical offset to apply to generated terrain bounding boxes.

public property	Offset { get set }
type	float32
value	[>=0]	The vertical offset, in screen-pixels.

Remarks:

Defaults to 16.

Tree

The filtered MeshTree of this mesh traversal object.

public property	Tree { get }
type	MeshTree
value	[not-null]	The filtered MeshTree object or null if this object is not bound.
inherited	MeshTraversal.Tree

Viewport

The current viewport object.

public property	Viewport { get set }
type	Viewport
value	[not-null]	The viewport object.
implements	IViewportDependent.Viewport

Public / Methods

Compute

Computes the terrain bounds for the current mesh.

public method	Compute (TerrainBoundsDelegate bounds = null)
params	bounds		Callback to use for collecting additional bounding boxes for the terrain bounds. Defaults to null.

Remarks:

If not bound to a mesh, only the given additional bounds are used to compute the terrain bounds.

MeshBind

Binds this object to the given IMesh.

public override method	MeshBind (IMesh mesh)
params	mesh		The mesh object.
overrides	MeshTraversal.MeshBind

MeshUnbind

public method	VisitFaces (CubemapFace meshFace = CubemapFace.All)
params	meshFace		The mesh face to traverse. Defaults to All.
inherited	MeshTraversal.VisitFaces

VisitQuadrant

params	sector		Index of center vertex of sector to visit.
	childIdx		Index of non-existing child sector in sector.

Remarks:

The quadtree data structure for visiting the given sector can be obtained by getting the Tree property of the current mesh (see MeshBind.

VisitSector

Visits the given mesh sector on the current face.

public override method	VisitSector (int32 sector)
params	sector		Index of center vertex of sector to visit.
implements	MeshTraversal.VisitSector
