Detailed Description

Creates and manages the volume texture rendered by vtkOpenGLGPUVolumeRayCastMapper.

Wraps a vtkTextureObject for which it selects the appropriate format (depending on the input vtkDataArray type, number of components, etc.) and loads input data. The class maintains a set of members of interest to the parent mapper, such as:

This class supports streaming the volume data in separate blocks to make it fit in graphics memory (sometimes referred to as bricking). The data is split into a user-defined number of blocks in such a way that a single sub-block (brick) fits completely into GPU memory. A stride is passed to OpenGL so that it can access the underlying vtkDataArray adequately for each of the blocks to be streamed into GPU memory (back-to-front for correct composition). Streaming the volume as separate texture bricks certainly imposes a performance trade-off but acts as a graphics memory expansion scheme for devices that would not be able to render higher resoulution volumes otherwise.

Warning
There are certain caveats when texture streaming is enabled, given the locality constraint that rendering a single block imposes.

Future work will extend the API to be able to compute an ideal number of partitions and extents based on the platform capabilities.

Warning
This is an internal class of vtkOpenGLGPUVolumeRayCastMapper. It assumes there is an active OpenGL context in each of its methods involving GL calls (MakeCurrent() is expected to be called in the mapper before any member calls involving gl functions).

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class.

Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses.

Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

void vtkVolumeTexture::SetMapper ( vtkOpenGLGPUVolumeRayCastMapper mapper)

Set the parent volume mapper and initialize internals.

void vtkVolumeTexture::SetPartitions ( int const  x,
int const  y,
int const  z 
)

Set a number of blocks per axis.

bool vtkVolumeTexture::LoadVolume ( vtkRenderer ren,
vtkImageData data,
vtkDataArray scalars,
int const  interpolation 
)

Loads the data array into the texture in the case only a single block is is defined.

Does not load when the input data is divided in multiple blocks (in which case they will be loaded into GPU memory by GetNextBlock()). Requires an active OpenGL context.

void vtkVolumeTexture::UpdateInterpolationType ( int const  interpolation)
void vtkVolumeTexture::SortBlocksBackToFront ( vtkRenderer ren,
vtkMatrix4x4 volumeMat 
)

If streaming the data array as separate blocks, sort them back to front.

This method does nothing if there is a single block.

VolumeBlock* vtkVolumeTexture::GetNextBlock ( )

Return the next volume block to be rendered.

When streaming is active (number of blocks > 1), this method will upload and release graphics resources of each block.

void vtkVolumeTexture::ReleaseGraphicsResources ( vtkWindow win)

Clean-up acquired graphics resources.
