class
PlaneNode¶ Bases:
PandaNodeA node that contains a plane. This is most often used as a clipping plane, but it can serve other purposes as well; whenever a plane is needed to be defined in some coordinate space in the world.
Inheritance diagram
-
__init__(name: str, plane: LPlane) → None¶
-
setPlane(plane: LPlane) → None¶ Sets the particular plane represented by the PlaneNode.
-
getPlane() → LPlane¶ Returns the plane represented by the PlaneNode.
- Return type
LPlane
-
setVizScale(viz_scale: float) → None¶ Specifies the size of the visual representation of the plane that is drawn if the PlaneNode is shown.
-
getVizScale() → float¶ Returns the size of the visual representation of the plane that is drawn if the PlaneNode is shown.
-
setPriority(priority: int) → None¶ Changes the relative importance of this PlaneNode (when it is used as a clip plane) relative to the other clip planes that are applied simultaneously.
The priority number is used to decide which of the requested clip planes are to be activated when more clip planes are requested than the hardware will support. The highest-priority n planes are selected for rendering.
This is similar to
TextureStage.setPriority().
-
getPriority() → int¶ Returns the priority associated with this clip plane. See
setPriority().
-
setClipEffect(clip_effect: int) → None¶ Specifies the sort of things this plane will actually clip (when it is used as a clip plane). This is a bitmask union of ClipEffect values. If it includes CE_visible, then it will clip visible geometry; if it includes CE_collision, then it will clip collision polygons. If it includes neither bit, it will still affect culling, but objects will either be wholly behind the clipping plane, or wholly present.
-
getClipEffect() → int¶ Returns the clip_effect bits for this clip plane. See
setClipEffect().

getClassType() → TypeHandle¶ - Return type
