Detailed Description

VolumeViz Abstract base class for slices, SoVolumeSkin, SoHeightFieldRender, and SoVolumeRender nodes.

This class defines common properties for the SoOrthoSlice, SoObliqueSlice, SoFenceSlice, SoVolumeSkin, SoHeightFieldRender and SoVolumeRender nodes.

The interpolation field controls how the texture is interpolated.

The composition field is deprecated and should not be used. Instead specify the composition mode for volume rendering using the SoVolumeRender node.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Composition

Composition mode.

Enumerator
MAX_INTENSITY 

Max intensity.

MIN_INTENSITY 

Min intensity.

SUM_INTENSITY 

Sum intensity.

ALPHA_BLENDING 

Alpha blending (Default)

COMPOSITION_LAST 

Definition at line 212 of file SoVolumeShape.h.

◆ Interpolation

Interpolation mode.

Used with interpolation field. Also used with interpolation field in volume geometry nodes, e.g. SoVolumeIndexedFaceSet::interpolation

Enumerator
NEAREST 

OpenGL "nearest neighbor" interpolation.

LINEAR 

OpenGL linear interpolation (Default).

This implies bi-linear interpolation for 2D textures (e.g. SoOrthoSlice, SoObliqueSlice, SoVolumeSkin, SoFenceSlice) and tri-linear interpolation for 3D textures (SoVolumeRender, SoVolumeGeometry).

TRILINEAR 

Tri-linear interpolation for SoObliqueSlice.

Tri-linear interpolation is used when extracting the 2D texture that will be applied to the slice, providing better image quality.
Same as LINEAR for other nodes.

NOTE: enumeration value available since Open Inventor 6.0

MULTISAMPLE_12 

Multi-sample interpolation for slice shapes.

Interpolates data values using 12 samples around the voxel. This provides much higher image quality and specifically avoids rendering artifacts due to bi-linear interpolation. Only supported for 2D texture shapes (e.g. SoOrthoSlice, SoObliqueSlice, SoVolumeSkin, SoFenceSlice). Same as LINEAR for other nodes.

NOTE: enumeration value available since Open Inventor 7.0

CUBIC 

Cubic interpolation.

This implies bi-cubic interpolation for 2D textures (e.g. SoOrthoSlice, SoObliqueSlice, SoVolumeSkin, SoFenceSlice) and tri-cubic interpolation for 3D textures (SoVolumeRender, SoVolumeGeometry). It gives smoother results, especially for volume rendering.

Linear interpolation Cubic interpolation

Warning
Heavy GPU usage. Primarily useful for still image rendering.

It is recomended to use SoInteractiveComplexity node to switch bewteen LINEAR interpolation while moving and CUBIC interpolation for Still frame:

icplx->fieldSettings.set1Value( 0, "SoVolumeRender interpolation LINEAR CUBIC" );
root->addChild(icplx);
Field interactive complexity node.
SoMFString fieldSettings
Each string in this field specifies the interactionValue and stillValue for a specific field of a spe...
void set1Value(int index, const SbString &newValue)
Sets the index'th value in the array to newValue.

NOTE: enumeration value available since Open Inventor 9.3

Member Function Documentation

◆ getClassTypeId()

static SoType SoVolumeShape::getClassTypeId ( )
static

Returns the type identifier for this class.


◆ getTypeId()

virtual SoType SoVolumeShape::getTypeId ( ) const
virtual

Returns the type identifier for this specific instance.

Reimplemented from SoLdmShape.

Reimplemented in ObliqueSliceBorder, OrthoSliceBorder, SoFenceSlice, SoHeightFieldRender, SoObliqueSlice, SoOrthoSlice, SoSlice, SoVolumeRender, and SoVolumeSkin.

◆ setRenderProgress()

virtual void SoVolumeShape::setRenderProgress ( SoProgressIndicator ps)
virtual

Set an application defined SoProgressIndicator object which will raise an event before and after the rendering task, before and after each subtask (in this case: Texture creation and Geometry creation) and after each step in the subtasks which represents in most cases individual tiles of data.

Track loading progression with SoProgressIndicator::onEndStep event of SubTask "Loading Texture":

  • NumSteps represents here the number of tiles to load to reach the "stable rendering state".
  • NumStepsDone represents here the number of tiles currently loaded since the last NumSteps reset.
  • The two numbers are reset when the viewer is moving the camera.

The example VolRend (examples/source/VolumeViz/VolRend) implements a loading progress bar in class EventRaisedProgressBar.

Limitations :

If set to NULL no events will be raised. Default is NULL.

Since Open Inventor 2023.2

Reimplemented in SoOrthoSlice.

Member Data Documentation

◆ composition

SoDEPRECATED SoSFEnum SoVolumeShape::composition

Specifies color composition mode.

Use enum Composition. Default is ALPHA_BLENDING.

ALPHA_BLENDING blends the R, G, and B components for each pixel based on the their alpha values.

SUM_INTENSITY draws the sum of the R, G, and B components for each pixel.

MAX_INTENSITY draws the maximum R, G, and B components for each pixel.

MIN_INTENSITY draws the minimum R, G, and B components for each pixel.

Note: In all modes, blending is done against the background color of the scene (or the object behind the volume). This means that, using MIN_INTENSITY for example, if the background color is black then 0,0,0 is already the minimum RGB value and the volume will not be visible. Generally when using MIN_INTENSITY the background color should be set to white (1,1,1) and when using MAX_INTENSITY or SUM_INTENSITY the background color should be set to black (0,0,0). To set the background color see the setBackgroundColor method of the appropriate RenderArea class, for example SoWinRenderArea on Windows.

NOTE: field available since Open Inventor 5.0.3

Definition at line 251 of file SoVolumeShape.h.

◆ interpolation

SoSFEnum SoVolumeShape::interpolation

Interpolation mode.

Use enum SoVolumeShape::Interpolation. Default is LINEAR. NOTE: In most cases on modern graphics boards, indexed textures are used, so this refers to interpolation of volume data values.
