Methods

CutAndCopyMatrices(int, int, int, int)

Copies the values from a specific matrix id and position to another matrix id and position. Used for reordering matrix positions.

Declaration

private void CutAndCopyMatrices(int orig_ListNumber, int orig_ListID, int moved_ListNumber, int moved_ListID)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	orig_ListNumber	Current list index of the matrices.
int	orig_ListID	Current array index of the matrices.
int	moved_ListNumber	New list index of the matrices.
int	moved_ListID	New array index of the matrices.

Init()

Initializes all the property blocks and materials.

Declaration

public void Init()

Particle_Add(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl)

Adds a particle to the render batch.

Declaration

public bool Particle_Add(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl graphicalData)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl	graphicalData	The graphical data belonging to the particle that should be added.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true if and only if the particle was added to this render batch.

Particle_Remove(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl)

Removes a particle from the render batch. The last element in the last array takes its position afterwards, so that we still have valid arrays for the UnityEngine.Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced(Mesh, int, Material, List{Matrix4x4}) method.

Declaration

public bool Particle_Remove(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl graphicalData)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl	graphicalData	The graphics adapter belonging to the particle that should be removed.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true if and only if the particle was removed from this render batch.

Render(ViewType)

Render loop of the particles. Calculates all timings of movements and draws the particles on the screen.

Declaration

public void Render(ViewType viewType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ViewType	viewType	The view type that should be used to visualize the particles.

Render_Circular()

Circular particle drawing. Part of the render loop.

Declaration

private void Render_Circular()

Render_Hexagonal(ViewType)

Hexagonal particle drawing. Part of the render loop.

Declaration

private void Render_Hexagonal(ViewType viewType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ViewType	viewType	The view type used to visualize the system. The only recognized values are Hexagonal and HexagonalCirc.

ResetMatrices(int, int)

Zeroes the values at a specific matrix id and position. If this was rendered, nothing would show up (but at the position (0,0) the mesh would still be drawn and have performance impact).

Declaration

private void ResetMatrices(int listNumber, int listID)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	listNumber	The list index of the matrices to reset.
int	listID	The array index of the matrices to reset.

SetPinsVisible(bool)

Changes the visibility setting of pins in the base hexagon or round hexagon view mode.

Declaration

public void SetPinsVisible(bool visible)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
bool	visible	Whether the pins should be visible.

UpdateMatrix(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl, bool)

Updates the matrices for a specific particle. Usually done once per round (if executeJointMovement is false). This method is also used for continuously updating the joint movements each frame (if executeJointMovement is set to true).

Declaration

public void UpdateMatrix(ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl gd, bool executeJointMovement)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ParticleGraphicsAdapterImpl	gd	The graphics adapter blonging to the particle to update.
bool	executeJointMovement	Whether this is the execution of a joint movement which is done repeatedly. (this might seem a little odd, but the system was added later and seemed to be easily implementable it this way)
