OpenGLAttributes

Applies attributes to modify the appearance of objects in the viewport and in renders done by the OpenGLRender node.

user

Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.

out

The processed output scene.

enabled

The on/off state of the node. When it is off, the node outputs the input scene unchanged.

in

The input scene

filter

The filter used to control which parts of the scene are processed. A Filter node should be connected here.

attributes

The attributes to be applied - arbitrary numbers of user defined attributes may be added as children of this plug via the user interface, or using the CompoundDataPlug API via python.

attributes.primitiveSolid

Whether or not the object is rendered solid, in which case the assigned GLSL shader will be used to perform the shading.

attributes.primitiveWireframe

Whether or not the object is rendered as a wireframe. Use the primitiveWireframeColor and primitiveWireframeWidth plugs for finer control of the wireframe appearance.

attributes.primitiveWireframeColor

The colour to use for the wireframe rendering. Only meaningful if wireframe rendering is turned on.

attributes.primitiveWireframeWidth

The width in pixels of the wireframe rendering. Only meaningful if wireframe rendering is turned on.

attributes.primitiveOutline

Whether or not an outline is drawn around the object. Use the primitiveOutlineColor and primitiveOutlineWidth plugs for finer control of the outline.

attributes.primitiveOutlineColor

The colour to use for the outline. Only meaningful if outline rendering is turned on.

attributes.primitiveOutlineWidth

The width in pixels of the outline. Only meaningful if outline rendering is turned on.

attributes.primitivePoint

Whether or not the individual points (vertices) of the object are drawn. Use the primitivePointColor and primitivePointWidth plugs for finer control of the point rendering.

attributes.primitivePointColor

The colour to use for the point rendering. Only meaningful if point rendering is turned on.

attributes.primitivePointWidth

The width in pixels of the points. Only meaningful if point rendering is turned on.

attributes.primitiveBound

Whether or not the bounding box of the object is drawn. This is in addition to any drawing of unexpanded bounding boxes that the viewer performs. Use the primitiveBoundColor plug to change the colour of the bounding box.

attributes.primitiveBoundColor

The colour to use for the bounding box rendering. Only meaningful if bounding box rendering is turned on.

attributes.pointsPrimitiveUseGLPoints

Points primitives have a render type (set by the PointsType node) which allows them to be rendered as particles, disks, spheres etc. This attribute overrides that type for OpenGL only, allowing a much faster rendering as raw OpenGL points.

attributes.pointsPrimitiveGLPointWidth

The width in pixels of the GL points rendered when the pointsPrimitiveUseGLPoints plug has overridden the point type.

attributes.curvesPrimitiveUseGLLines

Curves primitives are typically rendered as ribbons and as such have an associated width in object space. This attribute overrides that for OpenGL only, allowing a much faster rendering as raw OpenGL lines.

attributes.curvesPrimitiveGLLineWidth

The width in pixels of the GL lines rendered when the curvesPrimitiveUseGLLines plug has overridden the drawing to use lines.

attributes.curvesPrimitiveIgnoreBasis

Turns off interpolation for cubic curves, just rendering straight lines between the vertices instead.

attributes.maxTextureResolution

Light visualisers that load textures will respect this setting to limit their resolution.

global

Causes the attributes to be applied to the scene globals instead of the individual locations defined by the filter.

extraAttributes

An additional set of attributes to be added. Arbitrary numbers of attributes may be specified within a single IECore::CompoundData object, where each key/value pair in the object defines an attribute. This is convenient when using an expression to define the attributes and the attribute count might be dynamic.

If the same attribute is defined by both the attributes and the extraAttributes plugs, then the value from the extraAttributes is taken.
