Detailed Description

Data set node.

This class specifies a data set and its properties, and also provides utilities for extracting a subset of the data set and for resampling the data set. The data can be read directly from a file or can be accessed via a user-defined volume reader. This class is the parent class of the VolumeViz data nodes: SoVolumeData, SoHeightFieldGeometry, SoHeightFieldProperty, etc. Those nodes provide the data for VolumeViz rendering nodes: SoVolumeRender, SoOrthoSlice, SoObliqueSlice, etc. See SoVolumeData for more details about loading and managing volume data.

The data set can be specified by:

• Setting the fileName field
  This implies that the data set is stored on disk, in one of the file formats for which LDM has a built-in reader. LDM will automatically select a reader based on the file extension, for example ".am" for the AmiraMesh file format.
• Calling the setReader() method
  This is the most general method because an application can specify one of the standard LDM readers or implement a customized subclass of SoVolumeReader. LDM will get the data set properties (dimensions, size, data type, etc) and access the data through the specified reader object. This allows the application to completely control how, and from where, the data is loaded.

Member Typedef Documentation

SaveEditingCB

typedef SbBool SoDataSet::SaveEditingCB(SoDataSet *dataSet, SoVolumeWriter *writer, int tilesRemaining, int totalTiles)

This is the declaration to use for saveEditing callback functions.

These callbacks are called just before a tile is written. At the beginning of the saving process, the SaveEditingCB is called with tilesRemaining = totalTiles . Once the save process is done (all tiles written and finalized), the SaveEditingCB is called with tilesRemaining = 0.

Parameters

dataSet	DataSet used.
writer	Writer used.
tilesRemaining	Remaining tiles to save
totalTiles	Total tiles to save.

Returns

TRUE to continue save process. FALSE to abort.

Member Function Documentation

dataSize()

static int SoDataSet::dataSize ( DataType  dataType )

static

Returns the number of bytes per voxel of the specified data type.

editBoxes()

virtual int SoDataSet::editBoxes ( const std::vector< SbVec3i32 > &  boxCenters, const int &  boxSize, const double &  newValue  )

virtual

Replace all voxels in the region defined by a list of boxes with the specified value.

boxCenter and boxSize are defined in ijk (voxel) space.

Call startEditing() before calling this method. Returns 0 if successful.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

editSolidShape()

virtual int SoDataSet::editSolidShape ( const SoNode *  solidShape, const double &  value  )

virtual

Replaces all voxels intersecting the given shape with the specified value.

The geometry defined under solidShape must represent a list of closed surfaces otherwise the result is unpredictable. solidShape must not contain any lines or open polyhedrons (polyhedron with shapes). The result is based on the odd-winding rule, so the result is not necessarily the union or the intersection of the closed surfaces. If you want to voxelize lines or single polygons, see also the editSurfaceShape method.

If the goal is to define a shape which is the result of the intersection/union of multiple closed surfaces, see the SoCSGShape node.

solidShape is defined in the same 3D space as the dataSet. The solidShape can be deleted after calling this function.

Call startEditing() before calling this method. Returns 0 if successful.

Warning

The modification may be postponed until the tiles are really needed. Therefore the surfaceShape node (and children if any) must not be modified until after saveEditing() is called.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData, and SoVolumeMask.

editSubVolume() [1/2]

virtual int SoDataSet::editSubVolume ( const SbBox3i32 &  subVolume, const double &  value  )

virtual

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData, and SoVolumeMask.

editSubVolume() [2/2]

virtual int SoDataSet::editSubVolume ( const SbBox3i32 &  subVolume, SoBufferObject *  userData  )

virtual

Replaces the contents of a subvolume with the given data.

The buffer size (in bytes) must match the subvolume size (in bytes) exactly. The subvolume is specified in voxel/cell coordinates. Call startEditing() before calling this method. Returns 0 if successful.

Warning

The modification may be postponed until the tiles are really needed. Therefore the contents of the userData buffer must not be modified until after saveEditing() is called. However the buffer may be unref'd.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData, and SoVolumeMask.

editSurfaceShape()

virtual int SoDataSet::editSurfaceShape ( const SoNode *  surfaceShape, const float &  thickness, const double &  value  )

virtual

Replaces all voxels intersecting the polygons or lines defined by the surfaceShape and given thickness with the specified value.

surfaceShape is defined in the same 3D space as the dataSet. thickness is defined in voxels. The surfaceShape can be deleted after calling this function.

Call startEditing() before calling this method. Returns 0 if successful.

Warning

The modification may be postponed until the tiles are really needed. Therefore the surfaceShape node (and children if any) must not be modified until after saveEditing() is called.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData, and SoVolumeMask.

editTile() [1/2]

virtual int SoDataSet::editTile ( const SoLDMTileID &  tileId, const double &  value  )

virtual

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

editTile() [2/2]

virtual int SoDataSet::editTile ( const SoLDMTileID &  tileId, SoBufferObject *  userData  )

virtual

Replaces the contents of a tile with the given data.

The buffer size (in bytes) must match the tile size (in bytes) exactly. Call startEditing() before calling this method. Returns 0 if successful.

Warning

The modification may be postponed until the tile is really needed. Therefore the contents of the userData buffer must not be modified until after saveEditing() is called. However the buffer may be unref'd.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

finishEditing()

virtual SbBool SoDataSet::finishEditing ( int  transactionId )

virtual

Terminates an editing transaction.

Returns true if successful. May only be called with a valid transaction id returned by the startEditing() method. On error does nothing. The finish method will schedule a redraw so the correct data is displayed. To commit the edits, in other words to save the edited data back to the data source, call saveEditing().

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

getMinMax() [1/2]

virtual SbBool SoDataSet::getMinMax ( double &  min, double &  max  )

virtual

Returns min and max values of the data set.

Returns FALSE if the requested data is not available (for example, if no data set exists).

NOTE: This method might force LDM to load the entire data set if the volume reader does not respond to the getMinMax query. Normally for an LDM format data set, the min and max values are stored in the LDM header. For a non-LDM data set, if a filename and/or reader have been specified and the data set has not yet been loaded, LDM will load the entire data set to compute the min and max values. For a large data set this may take a long time.

const SoLDMTileID &

tileID

)

const

Indicates whether the data attached to a tile is in main memory.

Called when the node front manager evaluates the texture front.

This allows to manage data that implements SoBufferAsyncInterface. If the specified tile does not implement SoBufferAsyncInterface then this method always returns true. So effectively it always returns true for non-LDM volumes.

isDataSigned()

static SbBool SoDataSet::isDataSigned ( DataType  dataType )

Returns the number of significant bits.

readTile() [1/3]

virtual size_t SoDataSet::readTile ( SoBufferObject *&  bufferObject, SoLDMTileID  tileID, bool  transform  )

virtual

Copies the specified tile into the provided buffer.

Applies the data transformation (set in dataTransform field) if transform is true. Returns the size, in bytes, copied in the buffer. If size == 0 nothing was written (probably due to a memory allocation error).

readTile() [2/3]

virtual void SoDataSet::readTile ( SoLDMTileID  tileID, SoBufferObject *  buffer, bool  transform  )

virtual

Copies the specified tile into the provided buffer.

Applies the data transformation (set in dataTransform field) if transform is true.

virtual SoDEPRECATED void SoDataSet::readTile ( SoLDMTileID  tileID, unsigned char *  buffer, bool  transform  )

virtual

redoEditing()

virtual SbBool SoDataSet::redoEditing ( int  transactionId )

virtual

Redo all modifications associated with the specified transaction id.

Returns true if successful. On error does nothing. May only be called after the specified transaction has been terminated (see finishEditing() method) and undone (see undoEditing() method). Schedules a redraw so the correct data is displayed.

Note: Redo is no longer available after transactions are saved. After calling saveEditing(), the transaction ids are no longer valid and the modified data is the new reference.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

resetReader()

void SoDataSet::resetReader

(

)

Resets previously set custom reader setup by setReader call.

Reference counting:

Warning: This method calls ref() on the reader and then calls unref(). If the reader has a reference count of zero (the default), the call to resetReader() will cause it to be destroyed! A warning message is posted in this case when using a debug build of Open Inventor.

saveEditing()

virtual SbBool SoDataSet::saveEditing ( bool  recomputeLowerResolution = TRUE, const std::vector< char * >  conversionParameters = std::vector< char * >(), SaveEditingCB *  callback = NULL  )

virtual

Commit all transactions.

All modified tiles are written back to the data source using the current reader format. May only be called when no threads are editing, i.e. after all threads that called startEditing have called finishEditing.

Returns true if successful. On error does nothing returns false. Returns false if:

• No edits have been done.
• Transaction(s) still in progress (finishEditing has not been called).
• Volume was not loaded using a volume reader (direct from memory doesn't work).
• No volume writer class exists for this volume reader.

Warning: Effectively, saveEditing currently only works for data loaded using an SoVRLDMFileReader (an LDM format tiled data set) or an SoVRMemoryReader (data set completely in memory).

You can specify a callback (see SaveEditingCB) that will be called before saving each tile (even if the data uses a sliced format it is saved tile by tile). If this callback returns FALSE, the saving process is aborted. Warning: In such a case, lower resolutions are not updated and the result will be undefined.

Conversion Parameters:

• Only apply if the volume reader is an SoVRLDMFileReader. In this case an instance of SoVRLDMFileWriter is used.
• The options are the same as the LDM converter (see SoConverter), but only a subset of those options are supported.
• The writer automatically sets verbose = true and histogram = false.
  This is because if histogram = true, ALL tiles must be re-written.
• The parameter strings must be formatted exactly the same as on an LDM converter command line (see SoConverter).
• The supported options are:
  • -histogram : sets histogram true or false
  • -q : sets verbose = false
  • -c : compression name
  • -l : compression level

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

setLDMDataTransformFunction()

SoDEPRECATED void SoDataSet::setLDMDataTransformFunction	(	SoLDMDataTransformFunction *	func,
		void *	userData = NULL
	)

If set, the user-defined function is called after each tile is loaded, but before it is stored in main memory.

This allows you to modify the original data (for example, scaling or filtering) before it is displayed.

setLDMReader()

void SoDataSet::setLDMReader

(

SoLDMReader *

reader

)

Sets the LDM volume reader object to use.

This method allows the data to be read directly from the disk using the specified subclass of SoVolumeReader.

setReader()

void SoDataSet::setReader	(	SoVolumeReader &	reader,
		SbBool	takeOwnership = FALSE
	)

This method allows the data to be read directly from the disk using the specified subclass of SoVolumeReader.

If the takeOwnership parameter is FALSE (default), LDM will not delete the specified instance. Otherwise, LDM will automatically delete the specified instance, for example, when the SoDataSet node is deleted. If filename is not set before setting the reader, LDM will display an error message just to warn that the reader has not opened any file yet. LDM continues to work as expected.

Note: When using a custom reader, any reader method that changes the volume properties (dimension, size, data type, etc) should notify the SoVolumeData node by calling the reader's touch() method. If this notification is not done, SoDataSet fields, for example SoDataSet::extent, won't be updated correctly.

startEditing()

virtual SbBool SoDataSet::startEditing ( int &  transactionId )

virtual

Initiate an editing transaction.

Returns true if successful and also returns a unique transaction id. This value is required for finishing the edit transaction (see finishEditing()) and for undo/redo (see undoEditing() and redoEditing()). Multiple transactions may be active at the same time.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

undoEditing()

virtual SbBool SoDataSet::undoEditing ( int  transactionId )

virtual

Undo all modifications associated with the specified transaction id.

Returns true if successful. On error does nothing. May only be called after the specified transaction has been terminated (see finishEditing() method). Schedules a redraw so the correct data is displayed.

Note: Undo is no longer available after transactions are saved. After calling saveEditing(), the transaction ids are no longer valid and the modified data is the new reference.

Reimplemented in SoVolumeData.

voxelToXYZ() [1/2]

virtual SbBox3f SoDataSet::voxelToXYZ ( const SbBox3f &  box ) const

virtual

Converts the specified box in voxel coordinates (I,J,K) to geometric coordinates (X,Y,Z).

The geometric coordinates are expressed in "extent" space, where voxel coordinates are mapped to the box defined by the volume extent.

Correctly converts coordinates that are outside the volume dimensions, but the resulting geometric coordinate is outside the volume extent.

voxelToXYZ() [2/2]

virtual SbVec3f SoDataSet::voxelToXYZ ( const SbVec3f &  dataPosition ) const

virtual

Converts the specified point in voxel coordinates (I,J,K) to geometric coordinates (X,Y,Z).

The geometric coordinates are expressed in "extent" space, where voxel coordinates are mapped to the box defined by the volume extent.

The left bottom coordinate of the voxel is returned. Correctly converts coordinates that are outside the volume dimensions, but the resulting geometric coordinate is outside the volume extent.

writeTile()

virtual void SoDataSet::writeTile ( SoLDMTileID  tileID, SoBufferObject *  buffer, SoVolumeWriter *  writer  )

virtual

Write the specified tile using the specified writer.

No operations are done on buffer (dataTransform or edition), the buffer is written as is. The writer must be initialized and handles must be properly set (see SoVolumeReader::closeAllHandles and SoVolumeWriter::restoreAllHandles), ie. the current reader's handles must be closed, and the specified writer's handles must be opened.

XYZToVoxel() [1/2]

virtual SbBox3f SoDataSet::XYZToVoxel ( const SbBox3f &  xyzBox ) const

virtual

Converts the specified box in geometric coordinates to voxel coordinates.

The geometric coordinates are expressed in "extent" space, where voxel coordinates are mapped to the box defined by the volume extent.

Correctly converts coordinates that are outside the volume extent, but the resulting voxel coordinate is outside the volume dimensions.

allocateResourceOnRender

SoSFBool SoDataSet::allocateResourceOnRender

Indicates if resource allocation is done only on first render traversal or as soon as the node is created.

Default is TRUE. It must be set to FALSE if the dataset is not inserted in a scene graph but will be used for data access for example. Otherwise, memory resources will still remain on default value.

Definition at line 270 of file SoDataSet.h.

dataSetId

SoSFInt32 SoDataSet::dataSetId

When using multiple SoDataSet nodes, the dataSetId field uniquely identifies each data set used in the compositing.

It also specifies the OpenGL texture unit in which the textures for this data set will be stored when doing render compositing. It is 1 by default (texture unit 0 is reserved for the color lookup table by default). The number of available texture units depends on your hardware. You can query this number using getMaxNumDataSets.

Note: The SoDataSetId node can also be used to define dataSetId. If an SoDataSetId node is traversed before the SoDataSet node, the id from the SoDataSetId node is used and this field is ignored.

NOTE: field available since Open Inventor 6.0

Definition at line 161 of file SoDataSet.h.

dataTransform

SoSFLDMDataTransform SoDataSet::dataTransform

If set to an appropriate SoLDMDataTransform object, the object's transformFunction method is called after each tile is loaded, but before it is stored in main memory.

This allows you to modify the original data (for example, scaling or filtering) before it is displayed. Default is no transform.

Note: Before Open Inventor 8.0, the data transformFunction was set using the setLDMDataTransformFunction method. That method is now deprecated.

NOTE: field available since Open Inventor 8.0

Definition at line 261 of file SoDataSet.h.

extent

SoSFBox3f SoDataSet::extent

The real size (extent) of the volume in modeling coordinates.

Default is -1,-1,-1 to 1,1,1.

Note this can be used to define a volume with non-uniform voxel spacing. For example, if the volume dimensions (voxels) are 64x64x64, but the voxel spacing in Z is twice the X and Y spacing, then you might specify the volume size as -1 to 1 for X and Y but -2 to 2 for Z.

Definition at line 239 of file SoDataSet.h.

fileName

SoSFFilePathString SoDataSet::fileName

Indicates the file location containing the data set.

Default is an empty string. Depending on the file type, the corresponding SoVolumeReader (if it exists) is used.

File Extension	Loader Class	Description
.am	SoVRAmFileReader	Amira Mesh file format
.dc3, .dic, .dicom	SoVRDicomFileReader	Dicom file format
.fld	SoVRAvsFileReader	AVS field file format
.lda or .ldm	SoVRLdmFileReader	Large Data Management file format
.sgy or .segy	SoVRSegyFileReader	SEG Y revision 1 file format
.vol	SoVRVolFileReader	Vol file format
.vox	SoVRVoxFileReader	Vox file format
.lst	SoVRRasterStackReader	Lst file format

The filename extension is not case sensitive.

Note: SoDataSet and its derived classes (SoVolumeData, etc) do not search the SoInput directory list to find files specified in this field. To check file existence and other properties the SbFileHelper class may be useful.

ldmResourceParameters

SoSFLDMResourceParameters SoDataSet::ldmResourceParameters

Contains an SoLDMResourceParameters object which allows you to set LDM resource parameters.

Definition at line 359 of file SoDataSet.h.

texturePrecision

SoSFUShort SoDataSet::texturePrecision

For scalar (non-RGBA) data, specifies the size of voxel values on the GPU in bits.

The valid values are: 0 (default), 8 and 16.
When set to 0, LDM chooses the best precision based on the size of the data type (or if specified, the number of significant bits) - meaning that LDM will store 8-bit values on the GPU for 8-bit data and store 16-bit values for all other data types.

There are several trade-offs influenced by this value, including:

• 8 bit values use less memory on the GPU than 16-bit values, allowing more data to be stored on the GPU. 8-bit values are adequate for many visualization tasks. But...
• If the specified (or chosen) precision is smaller than the data type, then LDM must scale down the data values before sending them to the GPU.
  • Limitation: This is currently unavoidable for 32-bit data.
  • Down scaling adds some time whenever a tile of data must be sent to the GPU.
  • In particular, all tiles currently stored on the GPU must be rescaled if the application changes the data range (SoDataRange node).
    Note: As a result, changing the data range may be slow for large volumes.
  • Down scaling also means "aliasing" data values, i.e. multiple data values may scale to the same value on the GPU.

NOTE: field available since Open Inventor 6.0

Definition at line 228 of file SoDataSet.h.

undefinedValue

SoSFDouble SoDataSet::undefinedValue

Data with this value won't be rendered.

Default is NaN (Not a Number) which means that this value is not taken into account. Otherwise, value must be in agreement with data type. Limitations: There are several limitations in order for the undefined value to work :

• The texturePrecision must be at least equal to the number of significant bits of the data type.
• The data type must be BYTE, SHORT (either SIGNED or UNSIGNED) or FLOAT
• The field is ignored in the following classes : SoHeightFieldProperty, SoHeightFieldPropertyMask and SoVolumeMask. Setting this field has no effect in these cases.
• In the case of multiple SoVolumeData,the undefinedValue must be the same in all SoVolumeData. If different values are provided, only the latest one on the state will be considered for the rendering.

NOTE: field available since Open Inventor 10.11

Definition at line 289 of file SoDataSet.h.

useCompressedTexture

SoSFBool SoDataSet::useCompressedTexture

Controls use of OpenGL lossy texture compression for RGBA data (if available).

Default is TRUE.

A significant advantage of compressed textures is that they conserve texture memory space. At the moment, the extension works on RGBA textures only, not on paletted textures. The compression factor is about 5.

A potential drawback of compressed textures is that lossy compression can result in values on the GPU that are slightly different from the actual value in the volume. For example "gray scale" colors could have a slight color in some cases. You should always set this option to false when using "RGBA" data to store 32-bit "id" values.
