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.
