Class SceneManager

java.lang.Object

agi.foundation.graphics.SceneManager

public final class SceneManager
extends Object

The static SceneManager class provides global properties and functionality that apply to all Scenes and thus affect the rendering of every Insight3D control. It also provides a Textures property for creating new textures, and controls the Time of all Scenes within an application. The Animation property and SceneManager.setTime(agi.foundation.time.JulianDate) method can be used to control Time. The Primitives and ScreenOverlays properties allow you to add Primitives and ScreenOverlays to all Scenes. To render these objects in specific scenes, see the SceneDisplayCondition class. To render all Scenes within an application, call the Render method.

getAntiAliasing

public static final AntiAliasing getAntiAliasing()

Gets the multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) option for all Scenes. As the level of anti-aliasing increases, performance will generally decrease, but the quality of the anti-aliasing will improve.

setAntiAliasing

public static final void setAntiAliasing(AntiAliasing antiAliasing)

Sets the multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) option for all Scenes. As the level of anti-aliasing increases, performance will generally decrease, but the quality of the anti-aliasing will improve.

getStereoscopic

public static final Stereoscopic getStereoscopic()

Gets the stereoscopic options for all Scenes.

All Stereoscopic properties must be set before any other objects are created or methods are called within AGI.Foundation.Graphics. Once the options are specified, they cannot be changed for the lifetime of the application. These settings are typically best applied in a static constructor that is called early in an application's lifetime.

addTimeChanged

public static void addTimeChanged(EventHandler<TimeChangedEventArgs> value)

Adds a handler for an event that is raised when either SceneManager.setTime(agi.foundation.time.JulianDate) or SceneManager.setTime(agi.foundation.time.JulianDate,agi.foundation.time.JulianDate) is called.

Parameters:

value - The event handler.

removeTimeChanged

public static void removeTimeChanged(EventHandler<TimeChangedEventArgs> value)

Removes a handler for an event that is raised when either SceneManager.setTime(agi.foundation.time.JulianDate) or SceneManager.setTime(agi.foundation.time.JulianDate,agi.foundation.time.JulianDate) is called.

Parameters:

value - The event handler.

addRendering

public static void addRendering(EventHandler<RenderingEventArgs> value)

Adds a handler for an event that is raised when either Render is called on a scene or SceneManager.render() is called on the SceneManager.

Parameters:

value - The event handler.

removeRendering

public static void removeRendering(EventHandler<RenderingEventArgs> value)

Removes a handler for an event that is raised when either Render is called on a scene or SceneManager.render() is called on the SceneManager.

Parameters:

value - The event handler.

render

public static final void render()

Renders all Scenes within an application. To render a specific Scene, use the Scene.Render method.

Animation topic

setTime

public static final void setTime(JulianDate time)

Set the current Time of all Scenes. If you know what the next Time will be, use the SceneManager.setTime(agi.foundation.time.JulianDate,agi.foundation.time.JulianDate) method.

Parameters:

time - The current Time for all Scenes.

Animation topic

setTime

public static final void setTime(JulianDate time,
                                 JulianDate nextTime)

Set the current Time of all Scenes, with a hint for what the next Time will be.

Parameters:

time - The current Time for all Scenes.

nextTime - A hint for what the next Time for all Scenes will be.

refreshEvaluators

public static final void refreshEvaluators()

Refreshes all evaluators used internally by Insight3D. It is necessary to call this method after making changes to definitional objects used by Insight3D in order for those changes to be reflected in the rendered scenes. For more information on evaluators, see the overview topic on Evaluators and Evaluator Groups topic.
