Enum SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod>

agi.foundation.graphics.advanced.SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:

Enumeration, Serializable, Comparable<SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod>

public enum SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod
extends Enum<SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod>
implements Enumeration

Rendering methods available for use by the surface mesh primitive. Different methods may have different performance characteristics and require different video card support. When in doubt, use Automatic.

Enum Constant Detail

GEOMETRY_SHADER

public static final SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod GEOMETRY_SHADER

Render the surface mesh using a geometry shader. Requires OpenGL 3.0 or 2.0 with the ARB_geometry_shader4 extension.

VERTEX_SHADER

public static final SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod VERTEX_SHADER

Render the surface mesh using a vertex shader. Requires OpenGL 2.0 or 1.5 with the following extensions:

GL_ARB_vertex_shader GL_ARB_fragment_shader GL_EXT_stencil_two_side

AUTOMATIC

public static final SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod AUTOMATIC

Render the surface mesh using an automatically selected method based on the capabilities of the video card.

Method Detail

values

public static SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod c : SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getValue

public int getValue()

Get the numeric value associated with this enum constant.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Enumeration

Returns:

A numeric value.

getFromValue

@Nonnull
public static SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod getFromValue(int value)

Get the enum constant that is associated with the given numeric value.

Parameters:

value - a numeric value.

Returns:

The enum constant associated with value.

getDefault

@Nonnull
public static SurfaceMeshRenderingMethod getDefault()

Get the enum constant that is considered to be the default.

Returns:

The default enum constant.
