Detailed Description

       The SoRenderManager class is used for controlling the rendering of a scene graph.

       You can use this class to configure things like clipping planes, rendering mode, stereo
       rendering and the background color. In earlier versions of Coin/Inventor, this was set up
       in the GUI toolkits, making it quite hard to make a new Coin viewer for another GUI
       toolkit. With this new class all that is needed is to create one SoRenderManager instance
       per viewer/view.

       This class does not handle events for the scene graph/viewer. To do that you can use the
       SoEventManager class.

       Since:
           Coin 3.0

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoRenderManager::RenderMode
       Sets how rendering of primitives is done.

       Enumerator

       AS_IS  Render primitives as they are described in the scenegraph.

       WIREFRAME
              Render polygons as wireframe

       POINTS Render only the vertices of the polygons and lines.

       WIREFRAME_OVERLAY
              Render a wireframe overlay in addition to the AS_IS mode

       HIDDEN_LINE
              As WIREFRAME, but culls lines which would otherwise not be shown due to geometric
              culling.

       BOUNDING_BOX
              Only show the bounding box of each object.

   enum SoRenderManager::StereoMode
       Manages how to render steroscopic images.

       Enumerator

       MONO   No stereoscopic rendering

       ANAGLYPH
              Anaglyph rendering is used to provide a steroscopic 3D effect, when viewed with 3D
              glasses. The image is made up of two color layers which are superimposed on each
              other, and appears as 3 dimensional when viewed through corresponding colored
              filters(glases)

       SEPARATE_OUTPUT
              Send output to separate buffers.

       QUAD_BUFFER
              Same as SEPARATE_OUTPUT, SEPARATE_OUTPUT is more commonly known as QUAD_BUFFER,
              when also using double buffering.

       INTERLEAVED_ROWS
              Render every second row as left and right image. If rendered with a polarized
              projector, polarized filters kan be used to give a 3D effect.

       INTERLEAVED_COLUMNS
              Render every second column as left and right image. If rendered with a polarized
              projector, polarized filters kan be used to give a 3D effect.

   enum SoRenderManager::BufferType
       Buffering strategy

       Enumerator

       BUFFER_SINGLE
              Output to one buffer

       BUFFER_DOUBLE
              Alternate between output buffers

   enum SoRenderManager::AutoClippingStrategy
       Strategy for adjusting camera near/far clipping plane

       Enumerator

       NO_AUTO_CLIPPING
              Turn off automatic clipping. The user needs to set the correct values in the
              camera.

       FIXED_NEAR_PLANE
              Keep near plane at a fixed distance from the camera. The far plane is always set at
              the end of the bounding box.

       VARIABLE_NEAR_PLANE
              Variable adjustment of the nearplane relative to the camera.

Member Function Documentation

   void SoRenderManager::render (const SbBoolclearwindow = TRUE, const SbBoolclearzbuffer = TRUE)
       [virtual]
       Render the scene graph.

       All SbBool arguments should normally be TRUE, but they can be set to FALSE to optimize for
       special cases (e.g. when doing wireframe rendering one doesn't need a depth buffer).

       Parameters:
           clearwindow If set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
           clearzbuffer If set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.

   void SoRenderManager::render (SoGLRenderAction *action, const SbBoolinitmatrices = TRUE, const
       SbBoolclearwindow = TRUE, const SbBoolclearzbuffer = TRUE) [virtual]
       Render the scene graph.

       All SbBool arguments should normally be TRUE, but they can be set to FALSE to optimize for
       special cases (e.g. when doing wireframe rendering one doesn't need a depth buffer).

       Parameters:
           clearwindow If set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
           clearzbuffer If set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.
           initmatrices if true, the projection and modelview matrices are reset to identity
           action Renders with a user supplied action

   SoRenderManager::Superimposition * SoRenderManager::addSuperimposition (SoNode *scene,
       uint32_tflags = Superimposition::AUTOREDRAW | Superimposition::ZBUFFERON |
       Superimposition::CLEARZBUFFER)
       Add a superimposition for this scene graph. A superimposition can either be a scene
       rendered in the background, or a scene rendered in the front of the actual scene graph.

       This is useful, for instance, if you want to add a gradient or an image in the background,
       and for having some HUD info in the foreground.

       Please note that if you use superimpositions, multipass antialiasing have to be handled in
       the render manager, and not in SoGLRenderAction, so the pass update features in
       SoGLRenderAction will be disabled.

           SoGLRenderAction::setNumPasses()

           SoGLRenderAction::setPassUpdate()

           SoGLRenderAction::setPassCallback()

       Removes a superimposition.

       See Also:
           addSuperimposition()

   void SoRenderManager::setSceneGraph (SoNode *constsceneroot) [virtual]
       Set the node which is top of the scene graph we're managing. The sceneroot node reference
       count will be increased by 1, and any previously set scene graph top node will have it's
       reference count decreased by 1.

   void SoRenderManager::setRedrawPriority (const uint32_tpriority)
       Set up the redraw priority for the SoOneShotSensor used to trigger redraws. By setting
