Class ARBGeometryShader4

java.lang.Object
org.lwjgl.opengl.ARBGeometryShader4
public class ARBGeometryShader4 extends Object
Native bindings to the ARB_geometry_shader4 extension.

ARB_geometry_shader4 defines a new shader type available to be run on the GPU, called a geometry shader. Geometry shaders are run after vertices are transformed, but prior to color clamping, flat shading and clipping.

A geometry shader begins with a single primitive (point, line, triangle). It can read the attributes of any of the vertices in the primitive and use them to generate new primitives. A geometry shader has a fixed output primitive type (point, line strip, or triangle strip) and emits vertices to define a new primitive. A geometry shader can emit multiple disconnected primitives. The primitives emitted by the geometry shader are clipped and then processed like an equivalent OpenGL primitive specified by the application.

Furthermore, ARB_geometry_shader4 provides four additional primitive types: lines with adjacency, line strips with adjacency, separate triangles with adjacency, and triangle strips with adjacency. Some of the vertices specified in these new primitive types are not part of the ordinary primitives, instead they represent neighboring vertices that are adjacent to the two line segment end points (lines/strips) or the three triangle edges (triangles/tstrips). These vertices can be accessed by geometry shaders and used to match up the vertices emitted by the geometry shader with those of neighboring primitives.

Since geometry shaders expect a specific input primitive type, an error will occur if the application presents primitives of a different type. For example, if a geometry shader expects points, an error will occur at Begin time, if a primitive mode of TRIANGLES is specified.

Promoted to core in OpenGL 3.2.

    • glProgramParameteriARB

      public static void glProgramParameteriARB(int program, int pname, int value)
      Sets a program object parameter.

      The error INVALID_VALUE is generated if pname is GEOMETRY_INPUT_TYPE_ARB and value is not one of POINTS, LINES, LINES_ADJACENCY_ARB, TRIANGLES or TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY_ARB.

      The error INVALID_VALUE is generated if pname is GEOMETRY_OUTPUT_TYPE_ARB and value is not one of POINTS, LINE_STRIP or TRIANGLE_STRIP.

      The error INVALID_VALUE is generated if pname is GEOMETRY_VERTICES_OUT_ARB and value is negative.

      The error INVALID_VALUE is generated if pname is GEOMETRY_VERTICES_OUT_ARB and value exceeds MAX_GEOMETRY_OUTPUT_VERTICES_ARB.

      The error INVALID_VALUE is generated if pname is set to GEOMETRY_VERTICES_OUT_ARB and the product of value and the sum of all components of all active varying variables exceeds MAX_GEOMETRY_TOTAL_OUTPUT_COMPONENTS_ARB.

      Parameters:
      program - the program object
      pname - the parameter to set. One of:
      GEOMETRY_VERTICES_OUT_ARBGEOMETRY_INPUT_TYPE_ARBGEOMETRY_OUTPUT_TYPE_ARB
      value - the value being set

    • glFramebufferTextureARB

      public static void glFramebufferTextureARB(int target, int attachment, int texture, int level)
      Attaches a specified level of a texture object as one of the logical buffers of the currently bound framebuffer object, to render directly into the texture image.

      If texture is zero, any image or array of images attached to the attachment point named by attachment is detached, and the state of the attachment point is reset to its initial values. level is ignored if texture is zero.

      If texture is non-zero, FramebufferTextureARB attaches level level of the texture object named texture to the framebuffer attachment point named by attachment. The error INVALID_VALUE is generated if texture is not the name of a texture object, or if level is not a supported texture level number for textures of the type corresponding to target. The error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if texture is the name of a buffer texture.

      If texture is the name of a three-dimensional texture, cube map texture, or one- or two-dimensional array texture, the texture level attached to the framebuffer attachment point is an array of images, and the framebuffer attachment is considered layered.

      Parameters:
      target - the render target. Must be:
      FRAMEBUFFER
      attachment - must be one of the attachments points of the framebuffer
      texture - the texture object name
      level - the texture level

    • glFramebufferTextureLayerARB

      public static void glFramebufferTextureLayerARB(int target, int attachment, int texture, int level, int layer)
      Operates like FramebufferTextureARB, except that only a single layer of the texture level, numbered layer, is attached to the attachment point.

      If texture is non-zero, the error INVALID_VALUE is generated if layer is negative, or if texture is not the name of a texture object. The error INVALID_OPERATION is generated unless texture is zero or the name of a three-dimensional or one- or two-dimensional array texture.

      Parameters:
      target - the render target. Must be:
      FRAMEBUFFER
      attachment - must be one of the attachments points of the framebuffer
      texture - the texture object name
      level - the texture level
      layer - the texture layer

    • glFramebufferTextureFaceARB

      public static void glFramebufferTextureFaceARB(int target, int attachment, int texture, int level, int face)
      Operates like FramebufferTextureARB, except that only a single face of a cube map texture, given by face, is attached to the attachment point.

      If texture is non-zero, the error INVALID_VALUE is generated if texture is not the name of a texture object. The error INVALID_OPERATION is generated unless texture is zero or the name of a cube map texture.

      Parameters:
      target - the render target. Must be:
      FRAMEBUFFER
      attachment - must be one of the attachments points of the framebuffer
      texture - the texture object name

      TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_YTEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Y
      TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_ZTEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Z
