class HPS::DrawingAttributeControl : public HPS::Control
The HPS::DrawingAttributeControl class is a smart pointer that is tied to a database object. This object is used to manipulate various high-level settings, such as depth range, priority, and displacement. Note that some of the attributes available through this control should only be set for an entire window, while others can be set at multiple places.
Global attributes: World handedness, polygon handedness, priority, depth range
Segment-level attributes: overlay, deferral, face displacement, general displacement, clip regions
This table lists default values for the various segment attributes accessible from HPS::DrawingAttributeControl.
Public Functions
-
DrawingAttributeControl(DrawingAttributeControl &&in_that)
The move constructor creates a DrawingAttributeControl by transferring the underlying impl of the rvalue reference to this DrawingAttributeControl thereby avoiding a copy and allocation.

DrawingAttributeControl(DrawingAttributeControl const &in_that)
Initializes a control tied to the same object as in_that.
-
explicit DrawingAttributeControl(SegmentKey &in_seg)
Initializes a control tied to the segment in_seg.

inline virtual HPS::Type ObjectType() const
This function returns the type the object, as declared (if the object is derived, this does not give the true type of the derived object).
- Returns
The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.

DrawingAttributeControl &SetDeferral(int in_deferral)
Specifies a drawing order for a segment during timed updates. Segments with a lower deferral value will be drawn before segments with a higher value. This attribute does not inherit like most attributes. Segments have a default value of 0.
- Parameters
in_deferral – A drawing priority, with larger values drawing later than usual. Should be non-negative.
- Returns
A reference to this object.
-
DrawingAttributeControl &SetDepthRange(float in_near, float in_far)
Compresses effective Z values into a subset of what they would otherwise have been. This allows certain pieces of the scene to be drawn on top at all times without additional sub-windows. Values of (0,0) will force all geometry into the frontmost bucket, but will have the drawback that it will cause z-fighting amongst the geometry that shares that setting. To get such pieces of geometry to resolve reasonably well against each other, a range of (0,0.1) should perform reasonably well.
Depth range settings are not cumulative, and have no effect when the rendering algorithm is Priority, or is not set.
The default is (0,1)
- Parameters
in_near – The portion of the depth range closest to the camera. Valid range is [0,1] with in_near <= in_far.
in_far – The portion of the depth range furthest to the camera. Valid range is [0,1] with in_near <= in_far.
- Returns
A reference to this object.
-

- Parameters
in_state – Whether face displacement should be used.
in_buckets – The number of units to move faces in the Z-Buffer. The units are 1/2^24 in the normalized depth range [0,1]. Negative values will move faces toward the camera, positive values away from the camera.
- Returns
A reference to this object.
-
DrawingAttributeControl &SetFaceDisplacement(int in_buckets)
Specifies a number of Z-buffer units that rendered faces should be pushed away from the camera. The state is implicitly on.
- Parameters
in_buckets – The number of units to move faces in the Z-Buffer. The units are 1/2^24 in the normalized depth range [0,1]. Negative values will move faces toward the camera, positive values away from the camera.
- Returns
A reference to this object.

DrawingAttributeControl &SetGeneralDisplacement(bool in_state, int in_buckets = 0)

- Parameters
in_state – Whether general displacement should be used.
in_buckets – The number of units to move rendered geometry in the Z-Buffer. The units are 1/2^24 in the normalized depth range [0,1]. Negative values will move geometry toward the camera, positive values away from the camera.

A reference to this object.

-
DrawingAttributeControl &SetPolygonHandedness(Drawing::Handedness in_handedness)
In order to do a back face culling, there must be some definition of a polygon’s “front” and “back”. This orientation is determined by the order in which the polygon’s vertices were originally defined and the polygon handedness setting (not the world handedness). If you wrap the fingers of the chosen hand along the vertices of the polygon, with your wrist at the first vertex and your fingertips at the last, then extend your thumb perpendicular to your fingers, your thumb is extending out of the front face of the polygon.
