Detailed Description

VSG extension Displays an image that always faces the camera.

The SoImage node allows you to display an image without using the texture facilities. The image is a 2D image attached to a 3D justification point. The justification point is at (0,0,0) after applying the current transformation. The image is always parallel to the screen. The image is not resized when the render window is resized.

The image can be read from the file specified by the filename field. Once the image has been read, the image field contains the image data. However, this field is marked so the image is not written out when the image node is written to a file. To turn off the image, set the filename field to an empty string ("").

Images can also be specified in memory by setting the image field to contain the image data. Doing so resets the file name to the empty string.

This node can be useful for placing a logo in the scene, or for attaching an icon or marker to a 3D point.

By default (or when the width and height fields are both set to negative values), the actual size of the image is used. If the width and/or height are specified, the image is scaled to the specified size in pixels.

Note that SoImage automatically enables blending for 2 or 4 component images, but it does not set the blending function. However, if you have enabled transparency, or if any of the textures in your scene graph have 2 or 4 components, the blending function will be set.

Note that the position of the image on the screen depends on the current camera settings, so generally this node should not be render cached. SoImage nodes prohibit auto-caching, so that no SoSeparator (or other render caching node) above an SoImage in the scene graph will automatically create a render cache. This can significantly affect performance and applications should try to keep nodes that can be render cached (especially geometry nodes) under a different SoSeparator.

Note that SoImage does not cast a shadow (SoShadowGroup).

Shape Antialiasing type is SoShape::POINTS.

Member Data Documentation

◆ filename

SoSFFilePathString SoImage::filename

Names file from which to read image.

The standard image file formats are supported. See SoRasterImageRW for the list. If the filename is not an absolute path name, the list of directories maintained by SoInput is searched. If the texture is not found in any of those directories, then the file is searched for relative to the directory from which the SoImage node was read. For example, if an SoImage node with a filename of "../tofu.rgb" is read from /usr/people/bob/models/food.iv, then /usr/people/bob/tofu.rgb will be read (assuming tofu.rgb isn't found in the directories maintained by SoInput).

Definition at line 236 of file SoImage.h.

◆ height

SoSFInt32 SoImage::height

Height of image in pixels (optional).

By default (or when the width and height fields are both set to negative values), the actual size of the image is used. If the width and/or height are specified, the image is scaled to the specified size in pixels.

Definition at line 277 of file SoImage.h.

◆ horAlignment

SoSFEnum SoImage::horAlignment

Horizontal alignment.

For example, if the image is RIGHT BOTTOM justified, the bottom right-hand corner of the image is placed at the justification point. Use enum HorAlignment. Default is LEFT.

Definition at line 252 of file SoImage.h.

◆ image

SoSFImage SoImage::image

Contains an in-memory representation of the image.

It is either the contents of the file read from filename, an image read directly from an Open Inventor file, or an image set programmatically using the methods provided by SoSFImage.

Definition at line 244 of file SoImage.h.

◆ vertAlignment

SoSFEnum SoImage::vertAlignment

Vertical alignment.

For example, if the image is RIGHT BOTTOM justified, the bottom right-hand corner of the image is placed at the justification point. Use enum VertAlignment. Default is BOTTOM.

Definition at line 259 of file SoImage.h.

◆ width

SoSFInt32 SoImage::width

Width of image in pixels (optional).

By default (or when the width and height fields are both set to negative values), the actual size of the image is used. If the width and/or height are specified, the image is scaled to the specified size in pixels.
