VisualizationInterfaces Typedef CATViewModeType

typedef int CATViewModeType

Visual mode management.

Role: The assignment of one or more of these modes can then be retrieved from the render when drawing a representation. Some modes are exclusive, and conflicts are automatically solved using the order of definition of the modes. example: SetViewMode(VIEW_MATERIAL | VIEW_HLR), which is a nonsense anyway, will take in account VIEW_MATERIAL first to solve conflicts, then VIEW_HLR. SetViewMode(VIEW_HRD | VIEW_MATERIAL) will result by first activate MESH, EDGE and OUTLINE, then MATERIAL will be ignored as having a lower priority than HRD, and being exclusive to it.

These values are used in these 4 methods :

List of exclusions taken in account:

VIEW_MESH <> VIEW_HLR
VIEW_EDGE <> VIEW_HLR
VIEW_OUTLINE <> VIEW_HLR
VIEW_MATERIAL <> VIEW_HRD
VIEW_MATERIAL <> VIEW_HLR
VIEW_HRD <> VIEW_HLR
VIEW_POLYGON <> VIEW_HLR
VIEW_ISOPARS <> VIEW_HLR
VIEW_MESH <> VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES
VIEW_HIDDEN_EDGE <> VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES
VIEW_OUTLINE <> VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES
VIEW_MATERIAL <> VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES
VIEW_HRD <> VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES
VIEW_POLYGON <> VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES
VIEW_HLR <> VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES

Some modes are requiring other modes to be automatically activated:

VIEW_MATERIAL => VIEW_MESH
VIEW_HRD => VIEW_MESH, VIEW_EDGE, VIEW_OUTLINE
VIEW_HIDDEN_EDGE => VIEW_MESH, VIEW_EDGE
VIEW_POLYGON => VIEW_MESH
VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES => VIEW_EDGE

Values:

VIEW_MESH: Face of 3D objects are seen in shading
VIEW_EDGE: Edge of 3D objects are seen.
VIEW_COLORED_EDGES_FROM_FACES: The Edges are colored according to the shading faces color. Each edge has the same color as its adjacent faces. For internal edges, if the two adjacent faces have two different colors, the edge is painted with the color of the face whose bounding sphere radius is the smallest.
VIEW_OUTLINE: Lines wich form the shadow of 3D objects are seen.
VIEW_MATERIAL: The rendering takes account of
VIEW_HLR: Hidden Line Removal: compute by soft
VIEW_HRD: Hidden Line Removal: compute by hard ware
VIEW_HIDDEN_EDGE: Hidden Edges of faces are seen in dashed line
VIEW_POLYGON: See all the polygon that constitute the faces of 3D objects
VIEW_ISOPARS: Face are drawn with isopars
VIEW_WITH_HALF_SMOOTH_EDGE: Faces are drawn with edges but with half lighted smooth edges
VIEW_WITHOUT_SMOOTH_EDGE: Faces are drawn with edges but without smooth edges
VIEW_WITHOUT_VERTEX: Points are drawn but vertices are not
