chrono::ChVisualization Class Reference

Description

Base class for assets that define something about visualization (rendering, post processing, etc.) It contains basic information about position, color, and visibility.

Member Function Documentation

SetColor()

void chrono::ChVisualization::SetColor ( const ChColor &  mc )

inline

Set the color of the surface (default: white).

This information can optionally be used by a visualization system.

SetFading()

void chrono::ChVisualization::SetFading ( const float  mc )

inline

Set the fading level, a value in [0,1] (default: 0).

If fading = 0, the surface is completely opaque. If fading = 1, the surface is completely transparent.

SetStatic()

void chrono::ChVisualization::SetStatic ( bool  val )

inline

Set this visualization asset as static (default: false).

Set to true to indicate that the asset never changes and therefore does not require updates (e.g. for a non-deformable triangular mesh). A particular visualization system may take advantage of this setting to accelerate rendering.
