Public Methods

 GLHardwareOcclusionQuery ()
 Default object constructor.

 ~GLHardwareOcclusionQuery ()
 Object destructor.

void beginOcclusionQuery ()
 Starts the hardware occlusion query @Remarks Simple usage: Create one or more OcclusionQuery object one per outstanding query or one per tested object OcclusionQuery* m_pOcclusionQuery; createOcclusionQuery( &m_pOcclusionQuery ); In the rendering loop: Draw all occluders m_pOcclusionQuery->startOcclusionQuery(); Draw the polygons to be tested m_pOcclusionQuery->endOcclusionQuery();.

void endOcclusionQuery ()
 Ends the hardware occlusion test.

bool pullOcclusionQuery (unsigned int *NumOfFragments)
 Pulls the hardware occlusion query too see if there is a result.

bool pullOcclusionQuery (unsigned int *NumOfFragments, const HW_OCCLUSIONQUERY flag)
 Pulls the hardware occlusion query too see if there is a result.

unsigned int getLastQuerysPixelcount ()
 Let's you get the last pixel count with out doing the hardware occlusion test.

void setSkipRate (int skip)
 Remarks This function allows you to set how often the hardware occlusion really sent to the driver if you set it to 0 every hw occlusion test is acctually made.

Member Function Documentation

void Ogre::GLHardwareOcclusionQuery::beginOcclusionQuery   [virtual]
 

Starts the hardware occlusion query @Remarks Simple usage: Create one or more OcclusionQuery object one per outstanding query or one per tested object OcclusionQuery* m_pOcclusionQuery; createOcclusionQuery( &m_pOcclusionQuery ); In the rendering loop: Draw all occluders m_pOcclusionQuery->startOcclusionQuery(); Draw the polygons to be tested m_pOcclusionQuery->endOcclusionQuery();.

Results must be pulled using: UINT m_uintNumberOfPixelsVisable; pullOcclusionQuery( &m_dwNumberOfPixelsVisable ); You may not get the result directlly after the first pass or frame. Objects not visable must be tested every frame, visable objects may be tested less freqvent.

void Ogre::GLHardwareOcclusionQuery::endOcclusionQuery   [virtual]
 

Ends the hardware occlusion test.

unsigned int Ogre::GLHardwareOcclusionQuery::getLastQuerysPixelcount   [virtual]
 

Let's you get the last pixel count with out doing the hardware occlusion test.

Returns:
The last fragment count from the last test. Remarks This function won't give you new values, just the old value.

bool Ogre::GLHardwareOcclusionQuery::pullOcclusionQuery unsigned int *    NumOfFragments,
const HW_OCCLUSIONQUERY    flag
[virtual]
 

Pulls the hardware occlusion query too see if there is a result.

Return values:
NumOfFragments  will get the resulting number of fragments.
Returns:
True if success or false if not. @Remarks In DX9 mode specifying OCCLUSIONQUERY_FLUSH as the flag, will case the driver to flush whatever API calls are batched. In OpenGL mode it makes no difference if you specify OCCLUSIONQUERY_FLUSH or OCCLUSIONQUERY_NOFLUSH.

bool Ogre::GLHardwareOcclusionQuery::pullOcclusionQuery unsigned int *    NumOfFragments [virtual]
 

Pulls the hardware occlusion query too see if there is a result.

Return values:
NumOfFragments  will get the resulting number of fragments.
Returns:
True if success or false if not. @Remarks Hardware occlusion is an assyncronius process the result may take a frame or so. one idea is to test pass1 and if not visable skip pass2. Also note that objects not visable must be tested evrey frame. Visable objects don't need testing every frame. Testing non visable objects can be don unlit, no texture with low LOD object. 0 will generate all the levels till 1x1. [default: 0]

void Ogre::GLHardwareOcclusionQuery::setSkipRate int    skip [virtual]
 

Remarks This function allows you to set how often the hardware occlusion really sent to the driver if you set it to 0 every hw occlusion test is acctually made.

If you set it to 2 only 50% of your queries are sent. for all visable objects. 3 will result in 33% of all queries to acctualy be sent and so on. New and none visable objects will be tested all the time. This functionality is here because this class can keep track on visable and none visable objects for you. Once you you set the SkipRate for any hardware occlusion instance it effects all others.
