Remarks

This class describes the association between values of the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoIndexedTexture2 node and colors.

The data value coming from the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoIndexedTexture2 node is used as an index into the color map defined by the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.colorMap field or the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.predefinedColorMap field.

The OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.predefinedColorMap field allows you to specify a predefined color map or using value NONE, that the color map is contained in the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.colorMap field.

The OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.min and OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.max fields define the range of the data values that will actually be used. The color map is modified such that only data values ranging from OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.min to OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap.max will be mapped to the color map. The figure below illustrates the effects of these fields:

The OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap node acts like an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShaderProgram with an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoFragmentShader. Standard Open Inventor operations on textures will be disabled on all subsequent nodes, thus using an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTexture2 node or multitexturing after this node will not give the expected result.

**NOTE:**

  • The OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap node must be inserted before the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoIndexedTexture2.

  • This node puts the color map in the next available texture unit, so this unit must not be used for any other purpose in your application. On hardware which doesn't support *ARB_fragment_program* but supports *EXT_paletted_texture*, the next available texture unit is not used and thus remains available for use by the application.

  • If your graphics hardware does not support the ARB_fragment_program or the EXT_paletted_texture OpenGL extension, this node has no effect.

  • OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoColorMap is intended to be used with a OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoIndexedTexture2 node. However, without an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoIndexedTexture2 node, the color map will still be applied on the geometry, but without indexation. To specify a color map for volume rendering, see OIV.LDM.Nodes.SoTransferFunction.

EXAMPLE

The following example shows how to apply an indexed texture on a geometry node:

Copy
SoColorMap colorMap = new SoColorMap();
 colorMap.predefinedColorMap.Value = SoColorMap.PredefinedColorMaps.TEMPERATURE;
 colorMap.min.Value = -1000;
 colorMap.max.Value = 20000;
SoIndexedTexture2 indexedTexture = new SoIndexedTexture2();
 indexedTexture.imageIndex.SetValue(size, (int)SoSFArray.DataTypes.SIGNED_SHORT, data); 
root.AddChild( colorMap );
root.AddChild( indexedTexture );
root.AddChild( geometry );

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT

ColorMap {
min 0
max 0
predefinedColorMap TEMPERATURE
colorMapFormat RGB_ALPHA
colorMap 0
}
