DESCRIPTION
OpenGL rendering hardware typically does not have support for drawing
concave polygons or drawing polygons with windows. OpenGL provides glu
extentions that allow for translating concave polygon vertices into
triangles that can be rendered quickly on GL hardware. The OpenGL red
book chapter 11 has the full discussion of Tessellators and the OpenGL
functions (http://glprogramming.com/red/chapter11.html, or use your
favorite search engine and search for "opengl gluNewTess"). It is a
good idea to read that chapter before reading the rest of this
document.
As much as possible, the POGL implementation of the tessellation
functions tries to remain faithful to the OpenGL specification. Where
it doesn't match exactly, POGL follows the spirit of the specification,
but offloads what it can to c based implementations.
Tessellation functions are safe to call during drawlist creation. It
is advisable to use drawlists, or to store the generated polygon data
into OpenGL::Array objects as these methods offer faster redraws.
FUNCTIONS
"gluNewTess"
my $tess = gluNewTess();
Returns a reference that can be passed to the remaining tesselation
functions.
Note: this isn't the c-reference returned by the normal
gluNewTess() c function, it is a struct which contains that
reference as well as other members allowing callbacks to interface
cleanly with the perl code. This means that if you have loaded
other c-libraries that use standard opengl tessellation, you will
not be able to use this perl reference directly.
The POGL implementation of gluNewTess() allows for two additional
parameters to be passed. The first is a boolean value indicating
that default c callbacks and perl callbacks should be passed rgba
color data. The second is a boolean value indicating that xyz
normal data should be passed. Eventually one additional flag
indicating that texture data should be passed will be added as
well.
my $tess = gluNewTess();
# gluTessVertex_p should be passed only x,y,z vertex data
# as in gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z);
my $tess = gluNewTess('do_colors');
# gluTessVertex_p should be passed x,y,z AND r,g,b,a vertex data
# as in gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a);
my $tess = gluNewTess('do_colors', 'do_normals');
# gluTessVertex_p should be passed x,y,z AND r,g,b,a AND nx,ny,nz vertex data
# as in gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $nx, $ny, $nz);
my $tess = gluNewTess(undef, 'do_normals');
# gluTessVertex_p should be passed x,y,z AND nx,ny,nz vertex data (no colors)
# as in gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $nx, $ny, $nz);
Any true value can be passed in place of 'do_colors' and
'do_normals' though using 'do_colors' and 'do_normals' acts as
documentation.
Behavior in these modes will be discussed further for functions to
which they apply.
"gluDeleteTess"
gluDeleteTess($tess);
This deletes the tessellation structure and frees up any remaining
associated memory.
"gluTessCallback"
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, 'DEFAULT');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, \&glBegin);
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, sub { my $enum = shift; glBegin($enum) });
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN); # unsets current handler
Registers handlers for each of the tessellation callback types.
Takes a tessellation reference generated by gluNewTess, a type, and
a coderef or the word 'DEFAULT'. If the word 'DEFAULT' is passed,
a default c-level callback will be installed (which will be
discussed for each callback). If no 3rd argument is given, then
any handler currently set will be removed. Valid callback types
are
GLU_TESS_BEGIN
GLU_TESS_END
GLU_TESS_VERTEX
GLU_TESS_COMBINE
GLU_TESS_ERROR
GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG
GLU_TESS_BEGIN_DATA
GLU_TESS_END_DATA
GLU_TESS_VERTEX_DATA
GLU_TESS_COMBINE_DATA
GLU_TESS_ERROR_DATA
GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG_DATA
These types and their passed parameters will be discussed in the
CALLBACKS section.
The types ending with "_DATA" are similar to their non-_DATA
counterpart, but when called are passed the option $polygon_data
that can be set during gluTessBeginPolygon.
"gluTessBeginPolygon"
gluTessBeginPolygon($tess);
gluTessBeginPolygon($tess, $polygon_data);
Begins the tessellation transaction. It must eventually be ended
with a gluTessEndPolygon before the tessellator will normally begin
work.
An optional second argument can be passed which can be any perl
scalar or reference. If a callback is registered using a type
ending in _DATA, this perl scalar or reference will be passed as an
additional argument to that callback.
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_END_DATA, sub {
my $polygon_data = shift;
glEnd();
print "glEnd: (".($polygon_data->[2] eq 8 ? "YES" : "NO").")\n";
});
gluTessBeginPoly($tess, [6,7,8]); # arrayref will be passed to _DATA callbacks
A sample Object Oriented tesselation sample listed at the end of
this document makes use of this "opaque" polygon data.
"gluTessEndPolygon"
gluTessEndPolygon($tess);
Finishes the tessellation transaction, which normally will
immediately fire the necessary callbacks generated by the
tessellation process. Once finished, it cleans up any accumulated
temporary vertice data.
"gluTessBeginContour"
gluTessBeginContour($tess);
Starts a new contour of the tessellation of the current polygon.
Please read the OpenGL documentation, and red book chapter on
tessellation for more help on when to use different contours.
Should eventually be followed by a gluTessEndContour call.
(At a high level, tessellated polygons may have windows and
multiple separate portions. Each inner and outer border of these
portions should be represented by a different contour.)
"gluTessVertex_p"
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z);
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $vertex_data);
Adds a vertex to the current contour of the current polygon being
tessellated.
If the vertex callback type is set to GLU_TESS_VERTEX, the optional
$vertex_data argument will be passed to the vertex callback, and to
the combine callback (if GLU_TESS_VERTEX_DATA is used, then the
$polygon_data passed to gluTessBeginPolygon will be passed
instead). This optional opaque vertex data can be any perl scalar
or reference and can be used to pass useful information along
during the tessellation process.
If the 'do_colors' or 'do_normals' parameters were passed to
gluNewTess, then those additional properties MUST be passed as
additional arguments.
# my $tess = gluNewTess('do_colors');
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a);
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $vertex_data);
# my $tess = gluNewTess('do_colors', 'do_normals');
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $nx, $ny, $nz);
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data);
# my $tess = gluNewTess(undef, 'do_normals');
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $nx, $ny, $nz);
gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data);
CALLBACKS
All of the callbacks support a 'DEFAULT' handler that can be installed
by passing the word 'DEFAULT' in place of the callback code reference.
The DEFAULT c implementations are there to avoid needing to round trip
out to perl. The defaults employed are described for each of the
callback types.
With the exception of the COMBINE callback, return values from
callbacks are discarded.
"GLU_TESS_BEGIN"
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, 'DEFAULT');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, \&glBegin);
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, sub {
my $enum = shift;
glBegin($enum);
});
The 'DEFAULT' option installs a c-handler that calls the glBegin c
function directly without round-tripping out to perl.
If $polygon_data was set during gluTessBeginPolygon, it is
discarded.
"GLU_TESS_BEGIN_DATA"
Similar to GLU_TESS_BEGIN but will be passed optional $polygon_data
set in gluTessBeginPolygon if any. The 'DEFAULT' handler will
ignore this data.
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN_DATA, sub {
my ($enum, $polygon_data) = @_;
glBegin($enum);
print "glBegin - and I received polygon_data\n" if $polygon_data;
});
"GLU_TESS_END"
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_END, 'DEFAULT');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_END, \&glEnd);
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_END, sub { glEnd() });
The 'DEFAULT' option installs a c-handler that calls the glEnd c
function directly without round-tripping out to perl.
If $polygon_data was set during gluTessBeginPolygon, it is
discarded.
"GLU_TESS_END_DATA"
Similar to GLU_TESS_END but will be passed optional $polygon_data
set in gluTessBeginPolygon if any. The 'DEFAULT' handler will
ignore this data.
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_END_DATA, sub {
my ($polygon_data) = @_;
glEnd();
print "glEnd - and I received polygon_data\n" if $polygon_data;
});
"GLU_TESS_VERTEX"
The GLU_TESS_VERTEX callback handler has slightly different
behavior depending on how gluNewTess was called. The optional
behaviors allow for sane default processing of colors and normals
without needing to roundtrip out to perl.
my $tess = gluNewTess();
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, 'DEFAULT');
# the following will break if vertex_data is passed to gluTessVertex_p
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, \&glVertex3f);
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, sub {
my ($x, $y, $z) = @_;
glVertex3f($x, $y, $z);
});
# you can also pass vertex_data to gluTessVertex_p
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, sub {
my ($x, $y, $z, $vertex_data) = @_;
glVertex3f($x, $y, $z);
print "glVertex - and I received vertex_data\n" if $vertex_data;
});
The 'DEFAULT' option installs a c-handler that calls the glVertex c
function directly without round-tripping out to perl. The DEFAULT
handler discards any polygon_data or vertex_data.
IF $vertex_data was set during gluTessVertex_p it will be passed as
the final argument.
If gluNewTess was passed 'do_colors' then the GLU_TESS_VERTEX
callback will also be passed the rgba information. The 'DEFAULT'
option will pass the color information to glColor4f before calling
glVertex3f.
my $tess = gluNewTess('do_colors');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, sub {
my ($x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $vertex_data) = @_;
glColor4f($r, $g, $b, $a);
glVertex3f($x, $y, $z);
});
If gluNewTess was passed 'do_normals' then the GLU_TESS_VERTEX
callback will also be passed the normal x,y,z information. The
'DEFAULT' option will pass the normal information to glNormal3f
before calling glVertex3f.
my $tess = gluNewTess('do_colors', 'do_normals');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, sub {
my ($x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data) = @_;
glColor4f($r, $g, $b, $a);
glNormalf($nx, $ny, $nz);
glVertex3f($x, $y, $z);
});
# OR
my $tess = gluNewTess(undef, 'do_normals');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, sub {
my ($x, $y, $z, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data) = @_;
glNormalf($nx, $ny, $nz);
glVertex3f($x, $y, $z);
});
In all cases, any optional vertex_data will be passed as the final
argument.
"GLU_TESS_VERTEX_DATA"
Similar to GLU_TESS_VERTEX but will be passed optional
$polygon_data set in gluTessBeginPolygon (if any) rather than the
optional $vertex_data passed to gluTessVertex_p. The 'DEFAULT'
handler will ignore this data.
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX_DATA, sub {
my ($x, $y, $z, $vertex_data) = @_;
glVertex3f($x, $y, $z);
print "glVertex - and I received vertex_data\n" if $vertex_data;
});
"GLU_TESS_COMBINE"
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_COMBINE, 'DEFAULT');
# works with gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, 'DEFAULT');
# OR
# the following callback is valid for gluNewTess() (no do_colors or do_normals)

# });
The combine callback is called if the tessellator decides a new
vertex is needed. This will happen with self intersecting
polygons. In this case, the COMBINE callback can be used to
interpolate appropriate values for normals, and colors, or for any
desired information.
The combine callback will be passed the following:
"$x, $y, $z"
The x y and z coordinates of the new vertex being created.
"$v0, $v1, $v2, $v3"
Arrayrefs of vertex information for the vertices bordering this
new vertex (the ones that caused the new vertex to be created).
By default if gluNewTess() is called, these arrayrefs will be
passed:
my ($x, $y, $z, $vertex_data) = @$v0;
# received from gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $vertex_data);
If gluNewTess('do_colors') is called, the following will be
passed:
my ($x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $vertex_data) = @$v0;
# received from gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $vertex_data);
If gluNewTess('do_colors', 'do_normals') is called, the
following will be passed:
my ($x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data) = @$v0;
# received from gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $r, $g, $b, $a, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data);
If gluNewTess(undef, 'do_normals') is called, the following
will be passed:
my ($x, $y, $z, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data) = @$v0;
# received from gluTessVertex_p($tess, $x, $y, $z, $nx, $ny, $nz, $vertex_data);
In all cases, the data returned by the COMBINE callback should
be in the same format that each of the vertices are in when
passed into the COMBINE callback.
"$w0, $w1, $w2, $w3"
Weights of the participating vertices (weight $w0 corresponds
to vertex $v0).
"optional $polygon_data"
Any optional data passed to gluTessBeginPolygon. Normally this
would only be passed to GLU_TESS_COMBINE_DATA, but
GLU_TESS_COMBINE_DATA and GLU_TESS_COMBINE share the same code
implementation.
"GLU_TESS_COMBINE_DATA"
Identical in function to the GLU_TESS_COMBINE handler. They use
the same callback implementation.
"GLU_TESS_ERROR"
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_ERROR, 'DEFAULT');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_ERROR, \&glEdgeFlag);
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_ERROR, sub {
my $errno = shift;
my $err = gluErrorString($errno);
warn "Received a glu tess error ($errno - $err)\n";
});
The 'DEFAULT' option installs a c-handler that warns with the
appropriate gluErrorString.
If $polygon_data was set during gluTessBeginPolygon, it is
discarded.
"GLU_TESS_ERROR_DATA"
Similar to GLU_TESS_ERROR but will be passed optional $polygon_data
set in gluTessBeginPolygon if any. The 'DEFAULT' handler will
ignore this data.
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_ERROR_DATA, sub {
my ($errno, $polygon_data) = @_;
my $err = gluErrorString($errno);
warn "Received a glu tess error ($errno - $err)\n";
warn "And I received polygon_data\n" if $polygon_data;
});
"GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG"
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG, 'DEFAULT');
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG, \&glEdgeFlag);
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG, sub {
my ($flag) = @_;
glEdgeFlag($flag);
});
The 'DEFAULT' option installs a c-handler that calls the glEdgeFlag
c function directly without round-tripping out to perl.
If $polygon_data was set during gluTessBeginPolygon, it is
discarded.
"GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG_DATA"
Similar to GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG but will be passed $polygon_data set
in gluTessBeginPolygon if any. The 'DEFAULT' handler will ignore
this data.
gluTessCallback($tess, GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG_DATA, sub {
my ($flag, $polygon_data) = @_;
glEdgeFlag($flag);
print "glEdgeFlag - and I received polygon_data\n" if $polygon_data;
});
