Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Camera()

Member Function Documentation

◆ setPersp()

void setPersp ( float  f,
float  asp 
)
inline

Initializes the camera with a perspective view given a field-of-view value and aspect ratio.

120  { type = PERSP_CAM; persp.fov = f;
121  persp.aspect = asp; makeMatrix(); }
@ PERSP_CAM
Perspective view camera type.
Definition: GraphicsTypes.h:17

◆ setOrtho()

void setOrtho ( float  l,
float  t,
float  r,
float  b 
)
inline

Initializes the camera with a orthographic view.

125  { type = ORTHO_CAM; ortho.left = l; ortho.top = t;
126  ortho.right = r; ortho.bottom = b; makeMatrix(); }
@ ORTHO_CAM
Orthographic projection camera type.
Definition: GraphicsTypes.h:18

◆ setClip()

void setClip ( float  h,
float  y 
)
inline

Sets the camera clipping hither and yon values.

130  { hither = h; yon = y; makeMatrix(); }

◆ getType()

CameraType getType ( void  )
inline

Returns the type of camera whether it is a perspective camera (PERSP_CAM) or orthographic camera (ORTHO_CAM)

133 { return type; }

◆ getHither()

float getHither ( void  )
inline

Returns the clipping hither value.

136 { return hither; }

◆ getYon()

float getYon ( void  )
inline

Returns the clipping yon value.

139 { return yon; }

◆ reset()

DllExport void reset ( )

Resets the projection matrix.

◆ getProj()

DllExport void getProj ( float  mat[4][4])

Returns the projection matrix.
