GraphicsStateGuardian¶

from panda3d.core import GraphicsStateGuardian

class GraphicsStateGuardian¶

Bases: GraphicsStateGuardianBase

Encapsulates all the communication with a particular instance of a given rendering backend. Tries to guarantee that redundant state-change requests are not issued (hence “state guardian”).

There will be one of these objects for each different graphics context active in the system.

property active → bool ¶

Getter: Returns the active flag associated with the GraphicsStateGuardian.
Setter: Sets the active flag associated with the GraphicsStateGuardian. If the GraphicsStateGuardian is marked inactive, nothing is rendered. This is not normally turned off unless there is a problem with the rendering detected at a low level.

beginScene() → bool ¶

clearFlashTexture() → None ¶

property coordinate_system → CoordinateSystem¶: Returns the coordinate system in effect on this particular gsg. Normally, this will be the default coordinate system, but it might be set differently at runtime.

property copy_texture_inverted → bool ¶

Returns true if this particular GSG has the property that any framebuffer- to-texture copy results in a texture that is upside-down and backwards from Panda’s usual convention; that is, it copies into a texture from the bottom up instead of from the top down.

If this is true, then on offscreen GraphicsBuffer created for the purposes of rendering into a texture should be created with the invert flag set true, to compensate. Panda will do this automatically if you create an offscreen buffer using GraphicsOutput.makeTextureBuffer().

property driver_renderer → string¶

property driver_shader_version_major → int ¶

property driver_shader_version_minor → int ¶

property driver_vendor → string¶

property driver_version → string¶

property driver_version_major → int ¶

property driver_version_minor → int ¶

property effective_incomplete_render → bool ¶

Returns true if the GSG is effectively in incomplete_render state, considering both the GSG’s incomplete_render and its current DisplayRegion’s incomplete_render flags. It only makes sense to call this during the draw traversal; at other times this return value will be meaningless.

See CullTraverser.getEffectiveIncompleteRender() for this same information during the cull traversal.

endScene() → None ¶

property flash_texture → Texture ¶

property gamma → float ¶

static getAlphaScaleTextureStage() → TextureStage ¶: Returns the TextureStage that will be used to apply an alpha scale, if getAlphaScaleViaTexture() returns true.

getAlphaScaleViaTexture() → bool ¶: Returns true if this particular GSG can implement (or would prefer to implement) an alpha scale via an additional Texture layer, or false if we need to actually munge the alpha.

getAlphaScaleViaTexture(tex_attrib: TextureAttrib) → bool: This variant of getAlphaScaleViaTexture() answers the question of whether the GSG can implement an alpha scale via an additional Texture layer, considering the current TextureAttrib that will be in effect. This considers whether there is at least one additional texture slot available on the GSG.

static getClassType() → TypeHandle ¶

getColorScaleViaLighting() → bool ¶: Returns true if this particular GSG can implement (or would prefer to implement) set color and/or color scale using materials and/or ambient lights, or false if we need to actually munge the color.

getCoordinateSystem() → CoordinateSystem¶: Returns the coordinate system in effect on this particular gsg. Normally, this will be the default coordinate system, but it might be set differently at runtime.

getCopyTextureInverted() → bool ¶

Returns true if this particular GSG has the property that any framebuffer- to-texture copy results in a texture that is upside-down and backwards from Panda’s usual convention; that is, it copies into a texture from the bottom up instead of from the top down.

If this is true, then on offscreen GraphicsBuffer created for the purposes of rendering into a texture should be created with the invert flag set true, to compensate. Panda will do this automatically if you create an offscreen buffer using GraphicsOutput.makeTextureBuffer().

Returns the largest possible texture size in any one dimension for a 3-d texture, or -1 if there is no particular limit. Returns 0 if 3-d textures are not supported.

The value returned may not be meaningful until after the graphics context has been fully created (e.g. the window has been opened).

getMaxBufferTextureSize() → int ¶

Returns the largest possible buffer texture size, or -1 if there is no particular limit. Returns 0 if cube map textures are not supported.

getMaxColorTargets() → int ¶

Returns the maximum number of simultaneous color textures that may be attached for render-to-texture, as supported by this particular GSG. If you exceed this number, the lowest-priority render targets will not be applied. Use RenderTarget::set_priority() to adjust the relative importance of the different render targets.

getMaxVertexTransformIndices() → int ¶

Returns the maximum number of transforms there may be in a single TransformTable for this graphics hardware. If this number is 0 (but get_max_transforms() is nonzero), then the graphics hardware (or API) doesn’t support indexed transforms, but can support direct transform references.

The value returned may not be meaningful until after the graphics context has been fully created (e.g. the window has been opened).

getMaxVertexTransforms() → int ¶

Returns the maximum number of transform matrices that may be simultaneously used to transform any one vertex by the graphics hardware. If this number is 0, then the hardware (or the graphics backend) doesn’t support soft- skinned vertices (in which case Panda will animate the vertices in software).

The value returned may not be meaningful until after the graphics context has been fully created (e.g. the window has been opened).

getMaximumSimultaneousRenderTargets() → int ¶: Deprecated. Use getMaxColorTargets() instead, which returns the exact same value.

getPreparedObjects() → PreparedGraphicsObjects ¶

getPreparedTextures() → object ¶

getRuntimeColorScale() → bool ¶: Returns true if this particular GSG can implement (or would prefer to implement) set color and/or color scale directly, without requiring any munging of vertices or tricks with lighting.

getSupportsSamplerObjects() → bool ¶: Returns true if this particular GSG supports the use of sampler objects to record texture sampling parameters separately from the texture objects. This doesn’t really affect functionality, but if this is false, it may mean that using the same texture with different SamplerState objects will result in reduced performance.

property incomplete_render → bool ¶

Getter

Returns the incomplete_render flag. See setIncompleteRender().

Setter

Sets the incomplete_render flag. When this is true, the frame will be rendered even if some of the geometry or textures in the scene are not available (e.g. they have been temporarily paged out). When this is false, the frame will be held up while this data is reloaded.

Setting this true allows for a smoother frame rate, but occasionally parts of the frame will be invisible or missing (they will generally come in within a second or two). Setting this false guarantees that every frame will be complete, but may cause more chugs as things are loaded up at runtime.

You may want to set this false during loading screens, to guarantee that all of your assets are available by the time you take the loading screen down.

This flag may also be set individually on each DisplayRegion. It will be considered true for a given DisplayRegion only if it is true on both the GSG and on the DisplayRegion.

Getter: Returns the Loader object that will be used by this GSG to load textures when necessary, if getIncompleteRender() is true.
Setter: Sets the Loader object that will be used by this GSG to load textures when necessary, if getIncompleteRender() is true.
