Detailed Description

       The SoDepthBuffer class is a node used to control the GL depth buffer.

       With this node you can control properties related to the OpenGL depth buffer in a variety of ways.

       • you can enable and disable depth buffer testing during rendering,

       • you can enable and disable writing to the depth buffer during rendering,

       • you can set the function used for the depth buffer testing, and

       • you can set the value range used in the depth buffer.

       The  value  range  setting  is  useful  if  you need to segment the 3D world into different segments with
       different depth buffer resolutions to get a more optimal depth buffer resolution distribution than what a
       single, uniform depth buffer value range can give you.

       Be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not  available  in  the  original  SGI  Open
       Inventor v2.1 API.

       Since:
           Coin 3.0

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoDepthBuffer::DepthWriteFunction
       Enumeration for the various depth functions.

       Enumerator

       NEVER  Never passes.

       ALWAYS Always passes.

       LESS   Passes if the incoming depth value is less than the stored depth value.

       LEQUAL Passes if the incoming depth value is less than or equal to the stored depth value.

       EQUAL  Passes if the incoming depth value is equal to the stored depth value.

       GEQUAL Passes if the incoming depth value is greater than or equal to the stored depth value.

       GREATER
              Passes if the incoming depth value is greater than the stored depth value.

       NOTEQUAL
              Passes if the incoming depth value is not equal to the stored depth value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoDepthBuffer::SoDepthBuffer (void)
       Constructor.

   SoDepthBuffer::~SoDepthBuffer () [protected],  [virtual]
       Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   SoType SoDepthBuffer::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
       Returns  the  type  identification  of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for
       run-time type checking and 'downward' casting. Usage example:

       void foo(SoNode * node)
       {
         if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
           SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
         }
       }

       For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers  or
       others:  this  method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting
       up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished  by  using  the  pre-defined
       macros    available    through    for   instance   Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h   (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS   and
       SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

       For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses
       for the various class groups.

       Implements SoBase.

   const SoFieldData * SoDepthBuffer::getFieldData (void) const [protected],  [virtual]
       Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage  object  for  this  instance.  If  no  fields  are
       present, returns NULL.

       Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

   void SoDepthBuffer::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction *action) [virtual]
       Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

       This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or who wants
       to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL overrides this method.

       Reimplemented from SoNode.

Member Data Documentation
