interface IVisibleCheck in Tinman.Terrain.Visibility

Base interface for classes that implement a visibility check for terrain mesh vertices.

interface	IVisibleCheck	extends	IVertexArraysDependent
		base of	VisibleCheck

Methods

Add

Adds the given visibility check to this one, so that a mesh vertex will be visible if at least one of both returns true.

[Pure]
method	Add (IVisibleCheck check)
type	IVisibleCheck
params	check	[not-null]	The visibility check to add.
returns		[not-null]	The resulting visibility check.

Remove

Contains

Does this visible check contain the given one?

[Pure]
method	Contains (IVisibleCheck check)
type	bool
params	check	[not-null]	The visible check.
returns			true if check is contained, i.e. calling Add will return this. false if check is not contained, i.e. calling Remove will return this.

IsVertexVisible

Computes whether the given vertex shall be visible in the terrain mesh or not.

[Pure]
method	IsVertexVisible (int32 v, int32 g, int32 a, float64 thresholdSqr)
type	bool
params	v		The vertex to check for visibility.
	g		Grand-parent of v.
	a		Ancestor vertex of v.
	thresholdSqr		The tolerated squared terrain-space vertex error.
returns			true if the squared terrain-space vertex error value is greater than thresholdSqr (i.e. the vertex will be visible in the terrain mesh), false if not (i.e. the vertex will be invisible).

Remarks:

This method will be called repeatedly only by the refinement thread of the MeshBuffer. Thus, as long as no other code is called it, thread-safe code is not required here.

Remove

Removes the given vertex visibility check from this one, so that a mesh vertex will only be visible if this one returns true.

[Pure]
method	Remove (IVisibleCheck check)
type	IVisibleCheck
params	check	[not-null]	The visibility check to remove.
returns		[not-null]	The resulting visibility check.

SetVertexArrays

Sets the vertex data containers from which this vertex converter shall read vertex data.

method	SetVertexArrays (VertexArrays vertexArrays)
params	vertexArrays	[not-null]	The vertex data collection.
inherited	IVertexArraysDependent.SetVertexArrays
