Detailed Description

Field containing a 2D image.

A field containing a two-dimensional image. Images can be grayscale (intensity), grayscale with transparency information, RGB, or RGB with transparency. Each component of the image (intensity, red, green, blue or transparency (alpha)) can have an unsigned one-byte value from 0 to 255.

Values are returned as arrays of unsigned chars. The image is stored in this array starting at the bottom left corner of the image with the intensity or red component of that pixel, followed by either the alpha, the green and blue, or the green, blue and alpha components (depending on the number of components in the image). The next value is the first component of the next pixel to the right.

SoSFImages are written to file as three integers representing the width, height and number of components in the image, followed by width*height hexadecimal values representing the pixels in the image, separated by whitespace. A one-component image will have one-byte hexadecimal values representing the intensity of the image. For example, 0xFF is full intensity, 0x00 is no intensity. A two-component image puts the intensity in the first (high) byte and the transparency in the second (low) byte. Pixels in a three-component image have the red component in the first (high) byte, followed by the green and blue components (so 0xFF0000 is red). Four-component images put the transparency byte after red/green/blue (so 0x0000FF80 is semi-transparent blue). Note: each pixel is actually read as a single unsigned number, so a 3-component pixel with value "0x0000FF" can also be written as "0xFF" or "255" (decimal).

For example,

   1 2 1 0xFF 0x00

is a 1 pixel wide by 2 pixel high grayscale image, with the bottom pixel white and the top pixel black. And:

   2 4 3 0xFF0000 0xFF00 0 0 0 0 0xFFFFFF 0xFFFF00

is a 2 pixel wide by 4 pixel high RGB image, with the bottom left pixel red, the bottom right pixel green, the two middle rows of pixels black, the top left pixel white, and the top right pixel yellow.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CopyPolicy

SoSFImage may be manipulating some large amounts of memory.

It is therefore convienent to be able to set the memory usage policy dynamically. By default, the memory policy is COPY, which is consistent with other OIV fields. The most likely to be efficient is NO_COPY. See also setNeverWrite.

Enumerator
COPY 

Open Inventor will make a copy of the data (default)

NO_COPY 

Passed buffer used , user will delete.

NO_COPY_AND_DELETE 

Passed buffer used, SoSFImage will delete.

Use this if memory is allocated with "new".

NO_COPY_AND_FREE 

Passed buffer used, SoSFImage will free.

Use this if memory is allocated with "malloc".

Member Function Documentation

◆ finishEditing()

void SoSFImage::finishEditing ( )

This method (along with startEditing())can be used to efficiently edit the values in an image field.

Doing a start/finishEditing is the same as doing a call to setSubValues on the whole texture. The getSubTexture will return one more updated regions when called after finishEditing.

static SoType SoSFImage::getClassTypeId ( )
static

Returns the type identifier for this class.


◆ getNumComponents()

int SoSFImage::getNumComponents ( ) const
inline

Returns image's number of components.

Definition at line 492 of file SoSFImage.h.

SbVec2i32 size,
SbVec2i32 offset 
)

◆ getSubTexture() [2/4]

SbVec2s size,
SbVec2s offset,
DataType dataType 
)

Returns a buffer of a given subTexture set by setSubValue(), setSubValues() or a startEditing()/finishEditing() pair.

These methods append subTextures to a list. Also returns the size of the subtexture, the offset from the beginning of the image and the data type of the requested subImage.

◆ getTypeId()

virtual SoType SoSFImage::getTypeId ( ) const
virtual

Returns the type identifier for this specific instance.

Implements SoTypedObject.

◆ getValue() [1/4]

const unsigned char * SoSFImage::getValue ( SbVec2i32 size,
int &  nc 
) const

◆ getValue() [2/4]

const void * SoSFImage::getValue ( SbVec2i32 size,
int &  nc,

int &  nc 
) const

Same as above.

Convenience method for the unsigned char datatype.

◆ getValue() [4/4]

const void * SoSFImage::getValue ( SbVec2s size,
int &  nc,
DataType dataType 
) const

Returns the pixels in the image as an array of values of type <dataType>.

The size and nc arguments are filled in with the dimensions of the image and the number of components in the image. The number of bytes in the array returned will be size[0]*size[1]*nc*sizeof(<dataType>)*nc.

◆ hasSubTextures()

SbBool SoSFImage::hasSubTextures ( int &  numSubTextures)

Returns TRUE if subTextures have been defined or FALSE if none have been defined.

Also returns the number of subTextures defined.

◆ hasTransparency()

SbBool SoSFImage::hasTransparency ( ) const

Returns TRUE if the image contains any transparent pixels.

Specifically if the image has 2 or 4 components and at least one pixel has an alpha value less then 255.

◆ isNeverWrite()

SbBool SoSFImage::isNeverWrite ( )
inline

Queries the "neverWrite" flag.

Definition at line 469 of file SoSFImage.h.

◆ operator!=()

int SoSFImage::operator!= ( const SoSFImage f) const
inline

Inequality test.

Definition at line 376 of file SoSFImage.h.

◆ operator=()

const SoSFImage & SoSFImage::operator= ( const SoSFImage f)

Copy from another field of same type.

◆ operator==()

int SoSFImage::operator== ( const SoSFImage f) const

Equality test.

◆ setNeverWrite()

void SoSFImage::setNeverWrite ( SbBool  neverWrite)

Sets the "neverWrite" flag.

As this field may have to handle large amounts of data and its representation in an .iv file is not very efficient, it is often a good idea not to allow that data to be written out when required by a write action. By default, the "neverWrite" condition is FALSE.

◆ setSubValue() [1/4]

void SoSFImage::setSubValue ( const SbVec2i32 subSize,
const SbVec2i32 offset,
unsigned char *  bytes 
)

◆ setSubValue() [2/4]

void SoSFImage::setSubValue ( const SbVec2i32 subSize,
const SbVec2i32 offset,
void *  data 
)

◆ setSubValue() [3/4]

void SoSFImage::setSubValue ( const SbVec2s subSize,
const SbVec2s offset,
unsigned char *  bytes 
)

Same as above.

Convenience method for the unsigned char datatype.

◆ setSubValue() [4/4]

void SoSFImage::setSubValue ( const SbVec2s subSize,
const SbVec2s offset,
void *  data 
)

This method can be used for subtexturing.

Instead of replacing the texture in texture memory, only parts of it are replaced. This is much faster and uses less memory. In any case this method affects the texture in processor memory. Note that the sub-image must have the same number of components as the one contained in this object. The texture in texture memory will not actually be modified until the next render traversal. See also startEditing(), finishEditing().

const SbVec2i32 offsets,
int  num,
unsigned char **  subBytes 
)

◆ setSubValues() [2/4]

void SoSFImage::setSubValues ( const SbVec2i32 subSizes,
const SbVec2i32 offsets,
int  num,
void **  data 
)

◆ setSubValues() [3/4]

void SoSFImage::setSubValues ( const SbVec2s subSizes,
const SbVec2s offsets,
int  num,
unsigned char **  subBytes 
)

Same as above.

Convenience method for the unsigned char datatype.

◆ setSubValues() [4/4]

void SoSFImage::setSubValues ( const SbVec2s subSizes,
const SbVec2s offsets,
int  num,
void **  data 
)

This method can be used for subtexturing.

Instead of replacing the texture in texture memory, only parts of it are replaced. This is much faster and uses less memory. In any case this method affects the texture in processor memory. Note that the sub-images must have the same number of components as the one contained in this object. The texture in texture memory will not actually be modified until the next render traversal. See also startEditing(), finishEditing().

int  nc,
const unsigned char *  bytes,
CopyPolicy  copy = COPY 
)

◆ setValue() [2/6]

void SoSFImage::setValue ( const SbVec2i32 size,
int  nc,
DataType  dataType,
const void *  data,
CopyPolicy  copy = COPY 
)

◆ setValue() [3/6]

void SoSFImage::setValue ( const SbVec2i32 size,
int  nc,
DataType  dataType,
SoBufferObject bufferObject,
CopyPolicy  copy = COPY 
)

◆ setValue() [4/6]

void SoSFImage::setValue ( const SbVec2s size,
int  nc,
const unsigned char *  bytes,
CopyPolicy  copy = COPY 
)

Same as above.

Convenience method for the unsigned char datatype.

◆ setValue() [5/6]

void SoSFImage::setValue ( const SbVec2s size,
int  nc,
DataType  dataType,
const void *  data,
CopyPolicy  copy = COPY 
)

Sets the value of this field to be an image of the given size, with the given number of components, and with the given pixel values.

size[0]*sizeof(<dataType>)*size[1]*sizeof(<dataType>)*nc bytes from the given array will be copied into internal storage maintained by the SoSFImage field.

At times, SoSFImage may need to manipulate large amounts of memory. Therefore, it is useful to be able to specify the memory usage policy dynamically. By default, the memory policy is COPY, which is consistent with other Open Inventor fields. The most likely to be efficient is NO_COPY. See also setNeverWrite().

◆ setValue() [6/6]

void SoSFImage::setValue ( const SbVec2s size,
int  nc,
DataType  dataType,
SoBufferObject bufferObject,
CopyPolicy  copy = COPY 
)

◆ startEditing() [1/4]

unsigned char * SoSFImage::startEditing ( SbVec2i32 size,
int &  nc 
)

◆ startEditing() [2/4]

void * SoSFImage::startEditing ( SbVec2i32 size,
int &  nc,
DataType dataType 
)

◆ startEditing() [3/4]

unsigned char * SoSFImage::startEditing ( SbVec2s size,
int &  nc 
)

Same as above.

Convenience method for the unsigned char datatype.

◆ startEditing() [4/4]

void * SoSFImage::startEditing ( SbVec2s size,
int &  nc,
DataType dataType 
)

This method (along with finishEditing()) can be used to efficiently edit the values in an image field.

It returns the size of the image in the size and nc arguments; writing past the end of the array returned is a good way to cause hard-to-find core dumps.

Calling this method is the same as doing a call to setSubValues on the whole texture. The getSubTexture will return one more updated regions when called after finishEditing.

◆ toRasterImage()

SbRasterImage * SoSFImage::toRasterImage ( bool  downSample = true) const

Returns an instance of SbRasterImage filled with the content of this field.

It is useful to save the result of an SoRenderToTexture operation in feedback mode. The caller is responsible of the release of the returned raster image.

When the content is not of type UNSIGNED_BYTE the data is downsampled to UNSIGNED_BYTE unless the downSample parameter is set to false.

Returns NULL if the content cannot be converted to an SbRasterImage.
