Class RendererCircuitsAndBonds

The renderer for the circuits and bonds. In 2 instances which alternate in drawing to the screen, we update the graphical data and draw the instance once all data is ready and the new round should be displayed. After the displayed data is not shown anymore, everything is discarded and built up again. We make sure that no matrices are ever discarded and do not get garbage collection issues.

(The idea with the instances is used to possibly update data over multiple frames and still show the old instance, so the performance does not drop when a new round is calculated. This system has not yet been implemented completely since the idea came later, so we still build everything in one round, which is performant enough for a certain amount of particles. The particle rendering and render loop steering would also need to be updated to fully make use of the new system.)

Methods

AddBond(ParticleBondGraphicState)

Adds the graphical data of a single bond if the bond is not hidden.

Declaration

public void AddBond(ParticleBondGraphicState bondState)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ParticleBondGraphicState	bondState	Visual information of the bond.

AddCircuits(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl, ParticlePinGraphicState, PositionSnap, PartitionSetViewType)

Adds the graphical circuit data of a single particle to the system.

Declaration

public void AddCircuits(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl particle, ParticlePinGraphicState state, ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl.PositionSnap snap, PartitionSetViewType pSetViewType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl	particle
ParticlePinGraphicState	state	The graphical data of the particle's pin configuration.
ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl.PositionSnap	snap	The position data of the particle.
PartitionSetViewType	pSetViewType

GetCurrentInstance()

Gets the instance that is currently drawing.

Declaration

public RendererCircuits_Instance GetCurrentInstance()

Returns

Type	Description
RendererCircuits_Instance	The currently drawing instance.

ReinitBatches()

Reinits the batches in the instances. Helpful in case settings have been changed.

Declaration

public void ReinitBatches()

Render(ViewType)

Renders the current instance.

Declaration

public void Render(ViewType type)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ViewType	type	The visualization mode that is currently used to render the particle system.

SwitchInstances()

Switches the instances, so that the currently built instance is now drawn and the currently rendered instance is cleared and can be rebuilt.

Declaration

public void SwitchInstances()
