Class SoColorMask

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    SafeDisposable
    public class SoColorMask
extends SoNode
    Enable and disable writing of frame buffer color components. Specifies whether individual color components in the frame buffer will be modified during rendering.

    The color mask will affect all draw buffers.

    "Hidden Line Rendering" is a typical use case where a SoColorMask can be useful: faces are first rendered with red, green, blue and alpha masks to false, so that only depth is written. Then, the shape is rendered in wireframe mode, with all masks to true.

    To control modifying the depth buffer during rendering see SoDepthBuffer.

    File format/default:

    ColorMask {

      red true
      green true
      blue true
      alpha true
    }
