Description

Base class for a visualization asset for rendering (run-time or post processing).

Encapsulates basic information about the shape position, materials, and visibility.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetColor()

ChColor chrono::ChVisualShape::GetColor ( ) const

Return the diffuse color of the first material in the list of materials for this shape.

If no materials are defined, return the color of the default material.

◆ GetOpacity()

float chrono::ChVisualShape::GetOpacity ( ) const

Get opacity of the first material in the list of materials for this shape.

If no materials are defined, return the color of the default material.

◆ GetTexture()

std::string chrono::ChVisualShape::GetTexture ( ) const

Return the diffuse texture map of the first material in the list of materials for this shape.

If no materials are defined, return an empty string (no texture for the default material).

◆ SetColor()

void chrono::ChVisualShape::SetColor ( const ChColor & col )

Set the diffuse color for this shape.

This changes the color of the first material in the list of materials for this shape. If no materials are defined for a shape, one is first created by duplicating the default material.

◆ SetMaterial()

void chrono::ChVisualShape::SetMaterial	(	int	i,
		std::shared_ptr< ChVisualMaterial >	material
	)

Replace the material with specified index.

No-op if there is no material with given index.

◆ SetMutable()

void chrono::ChVisualShape::SetMutable ( bool val )

inline

Set this visualization shape as modifiable (default: false for primitive shapes, true otherwise).

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

◆ SetOpacity()

void chrono::ChVisualShape::SetOpacity ( float val )

Set opacity for this shape (0: fully transparent; 1: fully opaque).

This changes the first material in the list of materials for this shape. If no materials are defined for a shape, one is first created by duplicating the default material.

◆ SetTexture()

void chrono::ChVisualShape::SetTexture	(	const std::string &	filename,
		float	scale_x = `1`,
		float	scale_y = `1`
	)

Set the diffuse texture map for this shape.

This changes the texture of the first material in the list of materials for this shape. If no materials are defined for a shape, one is first created by duplicating the default material.

◆ Update()

virtual void chrono::ChVisualShape::Update	(	ChPhysicsItem *	updater,
		const ChFrame<> &	frame
	)

inlineprotectedvirtual

Update this visual shape with information for the owning physical object.

Since a visual shape can be shared in multiple instances, this function may be called with different updaters.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChRotSpringShape, and chrono::ChPointPointShape.
