TypedReferenceCount
,DrawableRegion
A rectangular subregion within a window for rendering into. Typically, there is one DisplayRegion that covers the whole window, but you may also create smaller DisplayRegions for having different regions within the window that represent different scenes. You may also stack up DisplayRegions like panes of glass, usually for layering 2-d interfaces on top of a 3-d scene.

- property active bool
- Getter
Returns the active flag associated with the
DisplayRegion
.- Setter
Sets the active flag associated with the
DisplayRegion
. If theDisplayRegion
is marked inactive, nothing is rendered.Don’t call this in a downstream thread unless you don’t mind it blowing away other changes you might have recently made in an upstream thread.
- property camera NodePath
- Getter
Returns the camera associated with this
DisplayRegion
, or an emptyNodePath
if no camera is associated.- Setter
Sets the camera that is associated with this
DisplayRegion
. There is a one-to-many association between cameras andDisplayRegions
; one camera may be shared by multipleDisplayRegions
.The camera is actually set via a
NodePath
, which clarifies which instance of the camera (if there happen to be multiple instances) we should use.Don’t call this in a downstream thread unless you don’t mind it blowing away other changes you might have recently made in an upstream thread.
- clear_cull_callback()
Removes the callback set by an earlier call to
set_cull_callback()
.
- clear_cull_result()
- clear_draw_callback()
Removes the callback set by an earlier call to
set_draw_callback()
.
- property cull_callback CallbackObject
- Getter
Returns the
CallbackObject
set byset_cull_callback()
.- Setter
Sets the
CallbackObject
that will be notified when theDisplayRegion
is visited during the cull traversal. This callback will be made during the cull thread.The cull traversal is responsible for determining which nodes are visible and within the view frustum, and for accumulating state and transform, and generally building up the list of CullableObjects that are to be eventually passed to the draw traversal for rendering.
At the time the cull traversal callback is made, the traversal for this
DisplayRegion
has not yet started.The callback is passed an instance of a
DisplayRegionCullCallbackData
, which contains pointers to the current scene information, as well as the currentDisplayRegion
and GSG. The callback replaces the normal cull behavior, so if your callback does nothing, the scene graph will not be traversed and therefore nothing will be drawn. If you wish the normal cull traversal to be performed for thisDisplayRegion
, you must call cbdata->upcall() from your callback.
- property cull_traverser CullTraverser
- Getter
Returns the
CullTraverser
that will be used to draw the contents of thisDisplayRegion
.- Setter
Specifies the
CullTraverser
that will be used to draw the contents of thisDisplayRegion
. Normally the defaultCullTraverser

- property draw_callback CallbackObject
- Getter
Returns the
CallbackObject
set byset_draw_callback()
.- Setter
Sets the
CallbackObject
that will be notified when the contents ofDisplayRegion
is drawn during the draw traversal. This callback will be made during the draw thread.The draw traversal is responsible for actually issuing the commands to the graphics engine to draw primitives. Its job is to walk through the list of CullableObjects build up by the cull traversal, as quickly as possible, issuing the appropriate commands to draw each one.
At the time the draw traversal callback is made, the graphics state is in the initial state, and no projection matrix or modelview matrix is in effect. begin_scene() has not yet been called, and no objects have yet been drawn. However, the viewport has already been set to the appropriate part of the window, and the clear commands for this
DisplayRegion
(if any) have been issued.The callback is passed an instance of a
DisplayRegionDrawCallbackData
, which contains pointers to the current scene information, as well as the currentDisplayRegion
and GSG. The callback replaces the normal draw behavior, so if your callback does nothing, nothing in theDisplayRegion
will be drawn. If you wish the draw traversal to continue to draw the contents of thisDisplayRegion
, you must call cbdata->upcall() from your callback.

Don’t call this in a downstream thread unless you don’t mind it blowing away other changes you might have recently made in an upstream thread.
- set_num_regions(i: int)
Sets the number of regions that this
DisplayRegion
indicates. Usually, this number is 1 (and it is always at least 1), and only the first is used for rendering. However, if more than one is provided, you may select which one to render into using a geometry shader (gl_ViewportIndex in GLSL).

DisplayRegion
. Within a window,DisplayRegions
will be rendered in order from the lowest sort value to the highest.Don’t call this in a downstream thread unless you don’t mind it blowing away other changes you might have recently made in an upstream thread.
- set_stereo_channel(stereo_channel: StereoChannel)
Specifies whether the
DisplayRegion
represents the left or right channel of a stereo pair, or whether it is a normal, monocular image. This automatically adjusts the lens that is used to render to thisDisplayRegion
to its left or right eye, according to the lens’s stereo properties.When the
DisplayRegion
is attached to a stereo window (one for whichis_stereo()
returns true), this also specifies which physical channel theDisplayRegion
renders to.Normally you would create at least two
DisplayRegions
for a stereo window, one for each of the left and right channels. The twoDisplayRegions
may share the same camera (and thus the same lens); this parameter is used to control the exact properties of the lens when it is used to render into thisDisplayRegion
.Also see the
StereoDisplayRegion
, which automates managing a pair of left/rightDisplayRegions
.An ordinary
DisplayRegion
may be set to SC_mono, SC_left, or SC_right. You may set SC_stereo only on aStereoDisplayRegion

- set_target_tex_page(page: int)
This is a special parameter that is only used when rendering the faces of a cube map or multipage and/or multiview texture.
This sets up the
DisplayRegion
to render to the ith page and jth view of its associated texture(s); the value must be consistent with the range of values availble to the texture. A normalDisplayRegion
that is not associated with any particular page should be set to page -1 and view 0.This is particularly useful when rendering cube maps and/or stereo textures.

- set_tex_view_offset(tex_view_offset: int)
Sets the current texture view offset for this
DisplayRegion
. This is normally set to zero. If nonzero, it is used to select a particular view of any multiview textures that are rendered within thisDisplayRegion
.For a
StereoDisplayRegion

.
- set_texture_reload_priority(texture_reload_priority: int)
Specifies an integer priority which is assigned to any asynchronous texture reload requests spawned while processing this
DisplayRegion
. This controls which textures are loaded first when multiple textures need to be reloaded at once; it also controls the relative priority between asynchronous texture loads and asynchronous model or animation loads.Specifying a larger number here makes the textures rendered by this
DisplayRegion
load up first. This may be particularly useful to do, for instance, for theDisplayRegion
that renders the gui.

DisplayRegion
.- Setter

- property target_tex_page int
- Getter
Returns the target page number associated with this particular
DisplayRegion
, or -1 if it is not associated with a page. Seeset_target_tex_page()
