      • hint

        public void hint​(int which)
        Description copied from class: PGraphics
        ( begin auto-generated from hint.xml ) Set various hints and hacks for the renderer. This is used to handle obscure rendering features that cannot be implemented in a consistent manner across renderers. Many options will often graduate to standard features instead of hints over time.

        hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_4X_SMOOTH) - Enable 4x anti-aliasing for P3D. This can help force anti-aliasing if it has not been enabled by the user. On some graphics cards, this can also be set by the graphics driver's control panel, however not all cards make this available. This hint must be called immediately after the size() command because it resets the renderer, obliterating any settings and anything drawn (and like size(), re-running the code that came before it again).

        hint(DISABLE_OPENGL_2X_SMOOTH) - In Processing 1.0, Processing always enables 2x smoothing when the P3D renderer is used. This hint disables the default 2x smoothing and returns the smoothing behavior found in earlier releases, where smooth() and noSmooth() could be used to enable and disable smoothing, though the quality was inferior.

        hint(ENABLE_NATIVE_FONTS) - Use the native version fonts when they are installed, rather than the bitmapped version from a .vlw file. This is useful with the default (or JAVA2D) renderer setting, as it will improve font rendering speed. This is not enabled by default, because it can be misleading while testing because the type will look great on your machine (because you have the font installed) but lousy on others' machines if the identical font is unavailable. This option can only be set per-sketch, and must be called before any use of textFont().

        hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST) - Disable the zbuffer, allowing you to draw on top of everything at will. When depth testing is disabled, items will be drawn to the screen sequentially, like a painting. This hint is most often used to draw in 3D, then draw in 2D on top of it (for instance, to draw GUI controls in 2D on top of a 3D interface). Starting in release 0149, this will also clear the depth buffer. Restore the default with hint(ENABLE_DEPTH_TEST), but note that with the depth buffer cleared, any 3D drawing that happens later in draw() will ignore existing shapes on the screen.

        hint(ENABLE_DEPTH_SORT) - Enable primitive z-sorting of triangles and lines in P3D and OPENGL. This can slow performance considerably, and the algorithm is not yet perfect. Restore the default with hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_SORT).

        hint(DISABLE_OPENGL_ERROR_REPORT) - Speeds up the P3D renderer setting by not checking for errors while running. Undo with hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_ERROR_REPORT).

        hint(ENABLE_BUFFER_READING) - Depth and stencil buffers in P2D/P3D will be downsampled to make PGL#readPixels work with multisampling. Enabling this introduces some overhead, so if you experience bad performance, disable multisampling with noSmooth() instead. This hint is not intended to be enabled and disabled repeatedely, so call this once in setup() or after creating your PGraphics2D/3D. You can restore the default with hint(DISABLE_BUFFER_READING) if you don't plan to read depth from this PGraphics anymore.

        hint(ENABLE_KEY_REPEAT) - Auto-repeating key events are discarded by default (works only in P2D/P3D); use this hint to get all the key events (including auto-repeated). Call hint(DISABLE_KEY_REPEAT) to get events only when the key goes physically up or down.

        hint(DISABLE_ASYNC_SAVEFRAME) - P2D/P3D only - save() and saveFrame() will not use separate threads for saving and will block until the image is written to the drive. This was the default behavior in 3.0b7 and before. To enable, call hint(ENABLE_ASYNC_SAVEFRAME).

        As of release 0149, unhint() has been removed in favor of adding additional ENABLE/DISABLE constants to reset the default behavior. This prevents the double negatives, and also reinforces which hints can be enabled or disabled. ( end auto-generated )

        Overrides:

      • perspective

        public void perspective()
        Description copied from class: PGraphicsOpenGL
        Calls perspective() with Processing's standard coordinate projection.

        Projection functions:

        • frustrum()
        • ortho()
        • perspective()
        Each of these three functions completely replaces the projection matrix with a new one. They can be called inside setup(), and their effects will be felt inside draw(). At the top of draw(), the projection matrix is not reset. Therefore the last projection function to be called always dominates. On resize, the default projection is always established, which has perspective.

        This behavior is pretty much familiar from OpenGL, except where functions replace matrices, rather than multiplying against the previous.

        perspective in class PGraphicsOpenGL

        aspect - ratio of width to height
        zNear - z-position of nearest clipping plane
        zFar - z-position of farthest clipping plane
      • beginCamera

        public void beginCamera()
        Description copied from class: PGraphicsOpenGL
        Set matrix mode to the camera matrix (instead of the current transformation matrix). This means applyMatrix, resetMatrix, etc. will affect the camera.

        Note that the camera matrix is *not* the perspective matrix, it contains the values of the modelview matrix immediatly after the latter was initialized with ortho() or camera(), or the modelview matrix as result of the operations applied between beginCamera()/endCamera().

        beginCamera() specifies that all coordinate transforms until endCamera() should be pre-applied in inverse to the camera transform matrix. Note that this is only challenging when a user specifies an arbitrary matrix with applyMatrix(). Then that matrix will need to be inverted, which may not be possible. But take heart, if a user is applying a non-invertible matrix to the camera transform, then he is clearly up to no good, and we can wash our hands of those bad intentions.

        begin/endCamera clauses do not automatically reset the camera transform matrix. That's because we set up a nice default camera transform in setup(), and we expect it to hold through draw(). So we don't reset the camera transform matrix at the top of draw(). That means that an innocuous-looking clause like

         beginCamera();
         translate(0, 0, 10);
         endCamera();
         
        at the top of draw(), will result in a runaway camera that shoots infinitely out of the screen over time. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to call some function that does a hard reset of the camera transform matrix inside of begin/endCamera. Two options are
         camera(); // sets up the nice default camera transform
         resetMatrix(); // sets up the identity camera transform
         
        So to rotate a camera a constant amount, you might try
         beginCamera();
         camera();
         rotateY(PI / 8);
         endCamera();

      • camera

        public void camera()
        Description copied from class: PGraphicsOpenGL
        Set camera to the default settings.

        Processing camera behavior:

        Camera behavior can be split into two separate components, camera transformation, and projection. The transformation corresponds to the physical location, orientation, and scale of the camera. In a physical camera metaphor, this is what can manipulated by handling the camera body (with the exception of scale, which doesn't really have a physcial analog). The projection corresponds to what can be changed by manipulating the lens.

        We maintain separate matrices to represent the camera transform and projection. An important distinction between the two is that the camera transform should be invertible, where the projection matrix should not, since it serves to map three dimensions to two. It is possible to bake the two matrices into a single one just by multiplying them together, but it isn't a good idea, since lighting, z-ordering, and z-buffering all demand a true camera z coordinate after modelview and camera transforms have been applied but before projection. If the camera transform and projection are combined there is no way to recover a good camera-space z-coordinate from a model coordinate.

        Fortunately, there are no functions that manipulate both camera transformation and projection.

        camera() sets the camera position, orientation, and center of the scene. It replaces the camera transform with a new one.

        The transformation functions are the same ones used to manipulate the modelview matrix (scale, translate, rotate, etc.). But they are bracketed with beginCamera(), endCamera() to indicate that they should apply (in inverse), to the camera transformation matrix.

        public void camera​(float eyeX,
                           float eyeY,
                           float eyeZ,
                           float centerX,
                           float centerY,
                           float centerZ,
                           float upX,
                           float upY,
                           float upZ)
        Description copied from class: PGraphicsOpenGL
        More flexible method for dealing with camera().

        The actual call is like gluLookat. Here's the real skinny on what does what:

         camera(); or
         camera(ex, ey, ez, cx, cy, cz, ux, uy, uz);
         
        do not need to be called from with beginCamera();/endCamera(); That's because they always apply to the camera transformation, and they always totally replace it. That means that any coordinate transforms done before camera(); in draw() will be wiped out. It also means that camera() always operates in untransformed world coordinates. Therefore it is always redundant to call resetMatrix(); before camera(); This isn't technically true of gluLookat, but it's pretty much how it's used.

        Now, beginCamera(); and endCamera(); are useful if you want to move the camera around using transforms like translate(), etc. They will wipe out any coordinate system transforms that occur before them in draw(), but they will not automatically wipe out the camera transform. This means that they should be at the top of draw(). It also means that the following:

         beginCamera();
         rotateY(PI / 8);
         endCamera();
         
        will result in a camera that spins without stopping. If you want to just rotate a small constant amount, try this:
         beginCamera();
         camera(); // sets up the default view
         rotateY(PI / 8);
         endCamera();
         
        That will rotate a little off of the default view. Note that this is entirely equivalent to
         camera(); // sets up the default view
         beginCamera();
         rotateY(PI / 8);
         endCamera();
         
        because camera() doesn't care whether or not it's inside a begin/end clause. Basically it's safe to use camera() or camera(ex, ey, ez, cx, cy, cz, ux, uy, uz) as naked calls because they do all the matrix resetting automatically.

        Description copied from class: PGraphics
        ( begin auto-generated from shape.xml ) Displays shapes to the screen. The shapes must be in the sketch's "data" directory to load correctly. Select "Add file..." from the "Sketch" menu to add the shape. Processing currently works with SVG shapes only. The sh parameter specifies the shape to display and the x and y parameters define the location of the shape from its upper-left corner. The shape is displayed at its original size unless the width and height parameters specify a different size. The shapeMode() function changes the way the parameters work. A call to shapeMode(CORNERS), for example, will change the width and height parameters to define the x and y values of the opposite corner of the shape.

        Note complex shapes may draw awkwardly with P3D. This renderer does not yet support shapes that have holes or complicated breaks. ( end auto-generated )

        Description copied from class: PGraphics
        ( begin auto-generated from bezierVertex.xml ) Specifies vertex coordinates for Bezier curves. Each call to bezierVertex() defines the position of two control points and one anchor point of a Bezier curve, adding a new segment to a line or shape. The first time bezierVertex() is used within a beginShape() call, it must be prefaced with a call to vertex() to set the first anchor point. This function must be used between beginShape() and endShape() and only when there is no MODE parameter specified to beginShape(). Using the 3D version requires rendering with P3D (see the Environment reference for more information). ( end auto-generated )

        Description copied from class: PGraphics
        ( begin auto-generated from rotateX.xml ) Rotates a shape around the x-axis the amount specified by the angle parameter. Angles should be specified in radians (values from 0 to PI*2) or converted to radians with the radians() function. Objects are always rotated around their relative position to the origin and positive numbers rotate objects in a counterclockwise direction. Transformations apply to everything that happens after and subsequent calls to the function accumulates the effect. For example, calling rotateX(PI/2) and then rotateX(PI/2) is the same as rotateX(PI). If rotateX() is called within the draw(), the transformation is reset when the loop begins again.

      • lights

        public void lights()
        Description copied from class: PGraphicsOpenGL
        Sets up an ambient and directional light using OpenGL. API taken from PGraphics3D.
         The Lighting Skinny:
         The way lighting works is complicated enough that it's worth
         producing a document to describe it. Lighting calculations proceed
         pretty much exactly as described in the OpenGL red book.
         Light-affecting material properties:
           AMBIENT COLOR
           - multiplies by light's ambient component
           - for believability this should match diffuse color
           DIFFUSE COLOR
           - multiplies by light's diffuse component
           SPECULAR COLOR
           - multiplies by light's specular component
           - usually less colored than diffuse/ambient
           SHININESS
           - the concentration of specular effect
           - this should be set pretty high (20-50) to see really
             noticeable specularity
           EMISSIVE COLOR
           - constant additive color effect
         Light types:
           AMBIENT
           - one color
           - no specular color
           - no direction
           - may have falloff (constant, linear, and quadratic)
           - may have position (which matters in non-constant falloff case)
           - multiplies by a material's ambient reflection
           DIRECTIONAL
           - has diffuse color
           - has specular color
           - has direction
           - no position
           - no falloff
           - multiplies by a material's diffuse and specular reflections
           POINT
           - has diffuse color
           - has specular color
           - has position
           - no direction
           - may have falloff (constant, linear, and quadratic)
           - multiplies by a material's diffuse and specular reflections
           SPOT
           - has diffuse color
           - has specular color
           - has position
           - has direction
           - has cone angle (set to half the total cone angle)
           - has concentration value
           - may have falloff (constant, linear, and quadratic)
           - multiplies by a material's diffuse and specular reflections
         Normal modes:
         All of the primitives (rect, box, sphere, etc.) have their normals
         set nicely. During beginShape/endShape normals can be set by the user.
           AUTO-NORMAL
           - if no normal is set during the shape, we are in auto-normal mode
           - auto-normal calculates one normal per triangle (face-normal mode)
           SHAPE-NORMAL
           - if one normal is set during the shape, it will be used for
             all vertices
           VERTEX-NORMAL
           - if multiple normals are set, each normal applies to
             subsequent vertices
           - (except for the first one, which applies to previous
             and subsequent vertices)
         Efficiency consequences:
           There is a major efficiency consequence of position-dependent
           lighting calculations per vertex. (See below for determining
           whether lighting is vertex position-dependent.) If there is no
           position dependency then the only factors that affect the lighting
           contribution per vertex are its colors and its normal.
           There is a major efficiency win if
           1) lighting is not position dependent
           2) we are in AUTO-NORMAL or SHAPE-NORMAL mode
           because then we can calculate one lighting contribution per shape
           (SHAPE-NORMAL) or per triangle (AUTO-NORMAL) and simply multiply it
           into the vertex colors. The converse is our worst-case performance when
           1) lighting is position dependent
           2) we are in AUTO-NORMAL mode
           because then we must calculate lighting per-face * per-vertex.
           Each vertex has a different lighting contribution per face in
           which it appears. Yuck.
         Determining vertex position dependency:
           If any of the following factors are TRUE then lighting is
           vertex position dependent:
           1) Any lights uses non-constant falloff
           2) There are any point or spot lights
           3) There is a light with specular color AND there is a
              material with specular color
         So worth noting is that default lighting (a no-falloff ambient
         and a directional without specularity) is not position-dependent.
         We should capitalize.

        Description copied from class: PGraphics
        ( begin auto-generated from directionalLight.xml ) Adds a directional light. Directional light comes from one direction and is stronger when hitting a surface squarely and weaker if it hits at a a gentle angle. After hitting a surface, a directional lights scatters in all directions. Lights need to be included in the draw() to remain persistent in a looping program. Placing them in the setup() of a looping program will cause them to only have an effect the first time through the loop. The affect of the v1, v2, and v3 parameters is determined by the current color mode. The nx, ny, and nz parameters specify the direction the light is facing. For example, setting ny to -1 will cause the geometry to be lit from below (the light is facing directly upward). ( end auto-generated )
