Purpose

The module SoFramebufferTexture renders the scene to a texture that can be mapped to shapes.

Details

The module uses the OpenGL GL_EXT_framebuffer_object extension, which must be supported for the module to operate.

Visible Fields

Size

name: size, type: IntVector2, default: 64 64

Sets the size of the texture as a list of numbers separated by spaces.

Width and height must be a power of 2.

Clear Color

name: clearColor, type: Color, default: 0 0 0

Sets a clear color for the framebuffer texture.

Clear Alpha

name: clearAlpha, type: Float, default: 1, minimum: 0, maximum: 1

Sets a clear alpha value for the framebuffer texture.

Color Buffer Format

name: colorBufferFormat, type: Enum, default: RGBA

Defines the color format of the internal textures.

Values:

Title	Name
​Rgb	​RGB
​Rgb8	​RGB8
​Rgb16	​RGB16
​Rgb16f	​RGB16F
​Rgb32f	​RGB32F
​Rgba	​RGBA
​Rgba8	​RGBA8
​Rgba16	​RGBA16
​Rgba16f	​RGBA16F
​Rgba32f	​RGBA32F

Use depth buffer

name: depthBuffer, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, a framebuffer for depth values is used.

Use stencil buffer

name: stencilBuffer, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, a framebuffer for stencil values is used.

Use size hints

name: useSizeStateHints, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the Open Inventor traversal state is checked for the SoMLImageElement to determine the size for the texture.

Note: The texture size is not adapted to the next power of 2.

Use format hints

name: useFormatStateHints, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the Open Inventor traversal state is checked for the SoMLImageElement to determine the format (number of bits) for the texture by evaluation of the data type.

The value of the field Color Buffer Format is used to decide between RGB and RGBA formats.

Wrap S

name: wrapS, type: Enum, default: REPEAT

Defines how the textures are wrapped horizontally.

Values:

Title	Name
​Repeat	​REPEAT
​Clamp	​CLAMP
​Clamp To Edge	​CLAMP_TO_EDGE
​Clamp To Border	​CLAMP_TO_BORDER
​Mirrored Repeat	​MIRRORED_REPEAT

Wrap T

name: wrapT, type: Enum, default: REPEAT

Defines how the textures are wrapped vertically.

Values:

Title	Name
​Repeat	​REPEAT
​Clamp	​CLAMP
​Clamp To Edge	​CLAMP_TO_EDGE
​Clamp To Border	​CLAMP_TO_BORDER
​Mirrored Repeat	​MIRRORED_REPEAT

Min Filter

name: minFilter, type: Enum, default: LINEAR

Defines which texture minifying function is used whenever the pixel being textured maps to an area greater than one texture element.

Values:

Title	Name
​Nearest	​NEAREST
​Linear	​LINEAR

Mag Filter

name: magFilter, type: Enum, default: LINEAR

Defines which texture magnification function is used when the pixel being textured maps to an area less than or equal to one texture element.

Values:

Title	Name
​Nearest	​NEAREST
​Linear	​LINEAR

Enable Border

name: enableBorder, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, a border color is used.

Border Color

name: borderColor, type: Vector4, default: 0 0 0 0

Sets the optional border color.

Size Multiplier

name: sizeMultiplier, type: Float, default: 1

If Use size hints is true, the texture size retrieved from SoMLImageElement is multiplied with this value in order to allow for over- or undersampling.
