Description

       Like  OpenGL ,the operation of IceT is defined by a large state machine.  Also like OpenGL
       ,the state parameters can be retrieved through the icetGet functions. Each function  takes
       a  symbolic  constant,  pname, which identifies the state parameter to retrieve. They also
       each take an array, params, which will be filled with the values  in  pname.   It  is  the
       calling  application's  responsibility to ensure that params is big enough to hold all the
       data.

State Parameters

The following list identifies valid values for pname and a description of the associated
state parameter.

ICET_BACKGROUND_COLOR
The color that IceT is currently assuming is the background color. It is an RGBA
value that is stored as four floating point values. This value is set either to the
last value passed to icetDrawFrame, the OpenGL background color if icetGLDrawFrame
was called, or to black for color blending. (The correct background color is
restored later.)

ICET_BACKGROUND_COLOR_WORD
The same as ICET_BACKGROUND_COLOR except that each component is stored as 8-bit
RGBA values and packed in a 4-byte integer. The idea is to rapidly fill the
background of color buffers.

ICET_BLEND_TIME
The total time, in seconds, spent in performing color blending of images during
the last call to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Stored as a double. An alias
for this value is ICET_COMPARE_TIME.

ICET_BUFFER_READ_TIME
The total time, in seconds, spent copying buffer data and reading from OpenGL
buffers during the last call to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Stored as a
double.

ICET_BUFFER_WRITE_TIME
The total time, in seconds, spent writing to OpenGL buffers during the last call
to icetGLDrawFrame. Always set to 0.0 after a call to icetDrawFrame. Stored as a
double.

ICET_BYTES_SENT
The total number of bytes sent by the calling process for transferring image data
during the last call to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Stored as an integer.

ICET_COLLECT_TIME
The total time spent in collecting image fragments to display processes during the
last call to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame.

ICET_COLOR_FORMAT
The color format of images to be created by the rendering subsystem and composited
by IceT .Use icetSetColorFormat to set the color format. Use
icetImageGetColorFormat to safely get the color format for a particular image.

ICET_COMPARE_TIME
The total time, in seconds, spent in performing Z comparisons of images during the
last call to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Stored as a double. An alias for
this value is ICET_BLEND_TIME.

ICET_COMPOSITE_MODE
The composite mode set by icetCompositeMode. A single entry stored as an
IceTEnum.

ICET_COMPOSITE_ORDER
The order in which images are to be composited if ICET_ORDERED_COMPOSITE is
enabled and the current strategy supports ordered compositing. The parameter
contains ICET_NUM_PROCESSES entries. The value of this parameter is set with
icetCompositeOrder. If the element of index i in the array is set to j, then there
are i images ``on top'' of the image generated by process j.

ICET_COMPOSITE_TIME
The total time, in seconds, spent in compositing during the last call to
icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Equal to $ICET_TOTAL_DRAW_TIME -
ICET_RENDER_TIME - ICET_BUFFER_READ_TIME - ICET_BUFFER_WRITE_TIME$. Stored as a
double.

ICET_COMPRESS_TIME
The total time, in seconds, spent in compressing image data using active pixel
encoding during the last call to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Stored as a
double.

ICET_DATA_REPLICATION_GROUP
An array of process ids. There are ICET_DATA_REPLICATION_GROUP_SIZE entries in
the array. IceT assumes that all processes in the list will create the exact same
image with their draw functions (set with icetDrawCallback or icetGLDrawCallback).
The local process id (ICET_RANK) will be part of this list.

ICET_DATA_REPLICATION_GROUP_SIZE
The length of the ICET_DATA_REPLICATION_GROUP array.

ICET_DEPTH_FORMAT
The depth format of images to be created by the rendering subsystem and composited
by IceT .Use icetSetDepthFormat to set the depth format. Use
icetImageGetDepthFormat to safely get the depth format for a particular image.

ICET_DIAGNOSTIC_LEVEL
The diagnostics flags set with icetDiagnostics.

ICET_DISPLAY_NODES
An array of process ranks. The size of the array is equal to the number of tiles
(ICET_NUM_TILES). The $i^{th}$ entry is the rank of the process that is displaying
the tile described by the $i^{th}$ entry in ICET_TILE_VIEWPORTS.

ICET_DRAW_FUNCTION
A pointer to the drawing callback function, as set by icetDrawCallback.

ICET_FRAME_COUNT
The number of times icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame has been called for the
current context.

ICET_GEOMETRY_BOUNDS
An array of vertices whose convex hull bounds the drawn geometry. Set with
icetBoundingVertices or icetBoundingBox. Each vertex has three coordinates and are
tightly packed in the array. The size of the array is $3 *
ICET_NUM_BOUNDING_VERTS$.

ICET_GLOBAL_VIEWPORT
Defines a viewport in an infinite logical display that covers all tile viewports
(listed in ICET_TILE_VIEWPORTS). The viewport, like an OpenGL viewport, is given
as the integer four-tuple $<x, y, width, height >$.x and y are placed at the
leftmost and lowest position of all the tiles, and width and height are just big
enough for the viewport to cover all tiles.

ICET_MAGIC_K
The target k value used when compositing with the radix-k single image strategy.

ICET_MAX_IMAGE_SPLIT
The target number of maximum image splits to be performed by compositing
strategies.

ICET_NUM_BOUNDING_VERTS
The number of bounding vertices listed in the ICET_GEOMETRY_BOUNDS parameter.

ICET_NUM_TILES
The number of tiles in the defined display. Basically equal to the number of times
icetAddTile was called after the last icetResetTiles.

ICET_NUM_PROCESSES
The number of processes in the parallel job as given by the IceTCommunicator
object associated with the current context.

ICET_PHYSICAL_RENDER_HEIGHT
The height of the images generated by the rendering system. This is set to the
OpenGL viewport height by icetGLDrawFrame or otherwise by explicitly setting it
with icetPhysicalRenderSize or otherwise implicitly to the largest tile height
specified with icetAddTile.

ICET_PHYSICAL_RENDER_WIDTH
The width of the images generated by the rendering system. This is set to the
OpenGL viewport width by icetGLDrawFrame or otherwise by explicitly setting it with
icetPhysicalRenderSize or otherwise implicitly to the largest tile width specified
with icetAddTile.

ICET_PROCESS_ORDERS
Basically, the inverse of ICET_COMPOSITE_ORDER. The parameter contains
ICET_NUM_PROCESSES entries. If the element of index i in the array is set to j,
then there are j images ``on top'' of the image generated by process i.

ICET_RANK
The rank of the process as given by the IceTCommunicator object associated with
the current context.

ICET_RENDER_TIME
The total time, in seconds, spent in the drawing callback during the last call to
icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Stored as a double.

ICET_SINGLE_IMAGE_STRATEGY
The single image sub-strategy set with icetSingleImageStrategy. Use
icetGetSingleImageStrategyName to get a user-readable name for the single image
strategy.

ICET_STRATEGY
The strategy set with icetStrategy. Use icetGetStrategyName to get a
user-readable name for the strategy.

ICET_STRATEGY_SUPPORTS_ORDERING
Is true if and only if the current strategy supports ordered compositing.

ICET_TILE_DISPLAYED
The index of the tile the local process is displaying. The index will correspond
to the tile entry in the ICET_DISPLAY_NODES and ICET_TILE_VIEWPORTS arrays. If set
to $0 <= i < ICET_NUM_PROCESSES$, then the $i^{th}$ entry of ICET_DISPLAY_NODES is
equal to ICET_RANK. If the local process is not displaying any tile, then
ICET_TILE_DISPLAYED is set to -1.

ICET_TILE_MAX_HEIGHT
The maximum height of any tile.

ICET_TILE_MAX_WIDTH
The maximum width of any tile.

ICET_TILE_VIEWPORTS
A list of viewports in the logical global display defining the tiles. Each
viewport is the four-tuple $<x, y, width, height >$defining the position and
dimensions of a tile in pixels, much like a viewport is defined in OpenGL .The size
of the array is $4 * ICET_NUM_TILES$. The viewports are listed in the same order
as the tiles were defined with icetAddTile.

ICET_TOTAL_DRAW_TIME
Time spent in the last call to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. This includes
all the time to render, read back, compress, and composite images. Stored as a
double.

ICET_VALID_PIXELS_NUM
In conjunction with ICET_VALID_PIXELS_OFFSET, gives the range of valid pixels for
the last image returned from icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Given the arrays of
pixels returned with the icetImageGetColor and icetImageGetDepth functions, the
valid pixels start at the pixel indexed by ICET_VALID_PIXELS_OFFSET and continue
for ICET_VALID_PIXELS_NUM. The tile to which these pixels belong are captured in
the ICET_VALID_PIXELS_TILE state variable. If the last call to icetDrawFrame or
icetGLDrawFrame did not return pixels for the local process, ICET_VALID_PIXELS_NUM
is set to 0. This state variable is only useful when ICET_COLLECT_IMAGES is off. If
on, it can be assumed that all display processes contain all pixels in the image
(ICET_VALID_PIXELS_NUM is the number of pixels in the image), and all other
processes have no pixel data.

ICET_VALID_PIXELS_OFFSET
In conjunction with ICET_VALID_PIXELS_NUM, gives the range of valid pixels for the
last image returned from icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame. Given the arrays of
pixels returned with the icetImageGetColor and icetImageGetDepth functions, the
valid pixels start at the pixel indexed by ICET_VALID_PIXELS_OFFSET and continue
for ICET_VALID_PIXELS_NUM. The tile to which these pixels belong are captured in
the ICET_VALID_PIXELS_TILE state variable. This state variable is only useful when
ICET_COLLECT_IMAGES is off. If on, it can be assumed that all display processes
contain all pixels in the image (ICET_VALID_PIXELS_OFFSET is 0), and all other
processes have no pixel data.

ICET_VALID_PIXELS_TILE
Gives the tile for which the last image returned from icetDrawFrame or
icetGLDrawFrame contains pixels. Each process has its own value. If the last call
to icetDrawFrame or icetGLDrawFrame did not return pixels for the local process,
then this state variable is set to -1. This state variable is only useful when
ICET_COLLECT_IMAGES is off. If on, it can be assumed that all display processes
have valid pixels for their respective display tiles, and all other processes have
no pixel data.

In addition, if you are using the OpenGL layer (i.e., have called icetGLInitialize), these
variables, defined in IceTGL.h, are also available.

ICET_GL_DRAW_FUNCTION
A pointer to the OpenGL drawing callback function, as set by icetGLDrawCallback.

ICET_GL_READ_BUFFER
The OpenGL buffer to read from (and write to). Set with icetGLSetReadBuffer.

Errors

       ICET_BAD_CAST
               The state parameter requested is of a type that cannot be cast to the output type.

       ICET_INVALID_ENUM
               pname is not a valid state parameter.

Warnings

       None.

Bugs

       None known.

Notes

       Not  every state variable is documented here. There is a set of parameters used internally
       by IceT or are more appropriately retrieved with other functions such as icetIsEnabled.
