Class SurfaceObjectTileBuilder

java.lang.Object

gov.nasa.worldwind.render.SurfaceObjectTileBuilder

public class SurfaceObjectTileBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

Builds a list of SurfaceTile instances who's content is defined by a specified set of SurfaceRenderable instances. It's typically not necessary to use SurfaceObjectTileBuilder directly. WorldWind's default scene controller automatically batches instances of SurfaceRenderable in a single SurfaceObjectTileBuilder. Applications that need to draw basic surface shapes should use or extend SurfaceShape instead of using SurfaceObjectTileBuilder directly.

Surface tiles are built by calling buildTiles(DrawContext, Iterable) with an iterable of surface renderables. This assembles a set of surface tiles that meet the resolution requirements for the specified draw context, then draws the surface renderables into those offscreen surface tiles by calling render on each instance. This process may temporarily use the framebuffer to perform offscreen rendering, and therefore should be called during the preRender method of a WorldWind layer. See the PreRenderable interface for details. Once built, the surface tiles can be rendered by a SurfaceTileRenderer.

By default, SurfaceObjectTileBuilder creates texture tiles with a width and height of 512 pixels, and with internal format GL_RGBA. These parameters are configurable by calling setTileDimension(java.awt.Dimension) or setTileTextureFormat(int).

The most common usage pattern for SurfaceObjectTileBuilder is to build the surface tiles from a set of surface renderables during the preRender phase, then draw those surface tiles during the render phase. For example, a renderable can use SurfaceObjectTileBuilder to draw a set of surface renderables as follows:

 class MyRenderable implements Renderable, PreRenderable
 {
     protected SurfaceObjectTileBuilder tileBuilder = new SurfaceObjectTileBuilder();

     public void preRender(DrawContext dc)
     {
         List surfaceRenderables = Arrays.asList(
             new SurfaceCircle(LatLon.fromDegrees(0, 100), 10000),
             new SurfaceSquare(LatLon.fromDegrees(0, 101), 10000));
         this.tileBuilder.buildSurfaceTiles(dc, surfaceRenderables);
     }

     public void render(DrawContext dc)
     {
         dc.getGeographicSurfaceTileRenderer().renderTiles(dc, this.tileBuilder.getTiles(dc));
     }
 }

Method Detail

addIntersectingObjects

protected void addIntersectingObjects(DrawContext dc,
                                      SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile parent,
                                      SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile tile)

Adds surface renderables from the parent's object list to the specified tile's object list. If the tile's sector does not intersect the sector bounding the parent's object list, this does nothing. Otherwise, this adds any of the parent's surface renderables that intersect the tile's sector to the tile's object list.

Parameters:

dc - the current DrawContext.

parent - the tile's parent.

tile - the tile to add intersecting surface renderables to.

addTile

protected void addTile(SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile tile)

Adds the specified tile to this tile builder's currentInfo and the TextureTile memory cache.

Parameters:

tile - the tile to add.

addTileOrDescendants

protected void addTileOrDescendants(DrawContext dc,
                                    LevelSet levelSet,
                                    SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile parent,
                                    SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile tile)

Potentially adds the specified tile or its descendants to the tile builder's currentInfo. The tile and its descendants are discarded if the tile is not visible or does not intersect any surface renderables in the parent's surface renderable list. See SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile.getObjectList().

If the tile meet the tile builder's resolution criteria it's added to the tile builder's currentTiles list. Otherwise, it's split into four sub-tiles and each tile is recursively processed. See meetsRenderCriteria(DrawContext, gov.nasa.worldwind.util.LevelSet, gov.nasa.worldwind.util.Tile).

Parameters:

dc - the current DrawContext.

levelSet - the tile's LevelSet.

parent - the tile's parent, or null if the tile is a top level tile.

tile - the tile to add.

assembleSurfaceObjects

protected void assembleSurfaceObjects(java.lang.Iterable<?> iterable)

Adds any SurfaceRenderables in the specified Iterable to the tile builder's currentSurfaceObjects list.

Parameters:

iterable - the Iterable to gather SurfaceRenderables from.

assembleTiles

protected void assembleTiles(DrawContext dc)

Assembles a set of surface tiles that are visible in the specified DrawContext and meet the tile builder's resolution criteria. Tiles are culled against the current surface renderable list, against the DrawContext's view frustum during rendering mode, and against the DrawContext's pick frustums during picking mode. If a tile does not meet the tile builder's resolution criteria, it's split into four sub-tiles and the process recursively repeated on the sub-tiles. Visible leaf tiles are added to the currentInfo.

During assembly each surface renderable in currentSurfaceObjects is sorted into the tiles they intersect. The top level tiles are used as an index to quickly determine which tiles each renderable intersects. Surface renderables are sorted into sub-tiles by simple intersection tests, and are added to each tile's surface renderable list at most once. See SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile.addSurfaceObject(SurfaceRenderable, gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Sector). Tiles that don't intersect any surface renderables are discarded.

Parameters:

dc - the DrawContext to assemble tiles for.

buildTiles

public void buildTiles(DrawContext dc,
                       java.lang.Iterable<?> iterable)

Assembles the surface tiles and draws any surface renderables in the iterable into those offscreen tiles. The surface tiles are assembled to meet the necessary resolution of to the draw context's View. This may temporarily use the framebuffer to perform offscreen rendering, and therefore should be called during the preRender method of a WorldWind Layer.

This does nothing if the specified iterable is null, is empty or contains no surface renderables.

Parameters:

dc - the draw context to build tiles for.

iterable - the iterable to gather surface renderables from.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the draw context is null.

canAssembleTiles

protected boolean canAssembleTiles(DrawContext dc)

Returns true if the draw context's viewport width and height are greater than zero.

Parameters:

dc - the DrawContext to test.

Returns:

true if the DrawContext's has a non-zero viewport; false otherwise.

Removes all entries from the list of pickable object candidates assembled during the last call to buildTiles(DrawContext, Iterable).

Parameters:

dc - the draw context used to build tiles.

Throws:

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the draw context is null.

computeTextureTileDimension

protected java.awt.Dimension computeTextureTileDimension(DrawContext dc)

Returns:

a texture tile dimension appropriate for the specified DrawContext.

Returns:

the tile info for the specified draw context.

createTileInfoKey

protected SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.TileInfoKey createTileInfoKey(DrawContext dc)

Creates a key to address the tile information associated with the specified draw context. Each key is unique to this instance, the tile dimensions that fit in the draw context's viewport, and the globe offset when a 2D globe is in use. Using a unique set of tile information ensures that

In practices, there are at most 10 dimensions we'll use (512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1) and 3 globe offsets (-1, 0, 1). Therefore there are at most 30 sets of tile information for each instance of SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.

Parameters:

dc - the draw context to create the tile info key for.

Returns:

the tile info key for the specified draw context.

createTileKey

protected java.lang.Object createTileKey(Level level,
                                         int row,
                                         int column,
                                         java.lang.String cacheName)

Returns a new tile key corresponding to the tile with the specified level, row, column, and cacheName.

Parameters:

level - The tile's Level in a LevelSet.

row - The tile's row in the Level, starting from 0 and increasing to the right.

column - The tile's column in the Level, starting from 0 and increasing upward.

cacheName - Tile tile's cache name.

Returns:

a tile key.

createTileTexture

protected Texture createTileTexture(DrawContext dc,
                                    int width,
                                    int height)

Returns a new surface tile texture for use on the specified draw context with the specified width and height.

The returned texture's internal format is specified by tilePixelFormat. If tilePixelFormat is zero, this returns a texture with internal format GL_RGBA8.

The returned texture's parameters are configured as follows:

Parameters:

dc - the draw context to create a texture for.

width - the texture's width, in pixels.

height - the texture's height, in pixels.

Returns:

a new texture with the specified width and height.

getLevelSet

protected LevelSet getLevelSet(int tileWidth,
                               int tileHeight)

Returns a shared LevelSet for the specified tileDimension. All instances of SurfaceObjectTileBuilder share common LevelSets to determine which tiles are visible, but create unique tile instances and uses a unique tile cache name. Since all instances use the same tile structure to determine visible tiles, this saves memory while ensuring that each instance stores its own tiles in the cache.

The returned LevelSet's cache name and dataset name are dummy values, and should not be used. Use this tile builder's cache name for the specified tileDimension instead.

In practice, there are at most 10 dimensions we use: 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. Therefore keeping the LevelSets in a map requires little memory overhead, and ensures each LevelSet is retained once constructed. Retaining references to the LevelSets means we're able to re-use the texture resources associated with each LevelSet in the DrawContext's texture cache.

Subsequent calls are guaranteed to return the same LevelSet for the same tileDimension.

Parameters:

tileWidth - the tile width, in pixels.

tileHeight - the tile height, in pixels.

Returns:

a LevelSet with the specified tile dimensions.

                                      Tile tile)

Tests if the specified tile meets the rendering criteria on the specified draw context. This returns true if the tile is from the level set's final level, or if the tile achieves the desired resolution on the draw context.

Parameters:

dc - the current draw context.

levelSet - the level set the tile belongs to.

tile - the tile to test.

Returns:

true if the tile meets the rendering criteria; false otherwise.

needToSplit

protected boolean needToSplit(DrawContext dc,
                              Tile tile)

Tests if the specified tile must be split to meets the desired resolution on the specified draw context. This compares the distance form the eye point to the tile to determine if the tile meets the desired resolution for the View attached to the draw context.

Parameters:

dc - the current draw context.

tile - the tile to test.

Returns:

true if the tile must be split; false otherwise.

setForceTileUpdates

public void setForceTileUpdates(boolean forceTileUpdates)

Specifies whether or not tiles textures are forced to update during buildTiles(DrawContext, Iterable). When true, tile textures always update their contents with the current surface renderables. When false, tile textures only update their contents when the surface renderables change.

Parameters:

forceTileUpdates - true if tile textures should always update their contents, false if tile textures should only update when the surface renderables change.

setSplitScale

public void setSplitScale(double splitScale)

Sets the parameter controlling the tile resolution as distance changes between the globe's surface and the eye point. Higher resolution is displayed as the split scale increases from 1.0. Lower resolution is displayed as the split scale decreases from 1.0. The default value is 2.9.

Parameters:

splitScale - a value near 1.0 that controls the tile's surface texel resolution as the distance between the globe's surface and the eye point change. Increasing values select higher resolution, decreasing values select lower resolution. The default value is 2.9.

setTileDimension

public void setTileDimension(java.awt.Dimension dimension)

Specifies the preferred surface tile texture dimension. If the dimension is larger than the viewport dimension, this uses a dimension with width and height set to the largest power of two that is less than or equal to the specified dimension and the viewport dimension.

Parameters:

dimension - the surface tile dimension, in pixels.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the dimension is null.

setTileTextureFormat

public void setTileTextureFormat(int textureFormat)

Specifies the surface tile's OpenGL texture format. A value of 0 indicates that the default format should be used. Otherwise, the texture format may be one of the following:

• GL_ALPHA
• GL_ALPHA4
• GL_ALPHA8
• GL_ALPHA12
• GL_ALPHA16
• GL_COMPRESSED_ALPHA
• GL_COMPRESSED_LUMINANCE
• GL_COMPRESSED_LUMINANCE_ALPHA
• GL_COMPRESSED_INTENSITY
• GL_COMPRESSED_RGB
• GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA
• GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT
• GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16
• GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24
• GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT32
• GL_LUMINANCE
• GL_LUMINANCE4
• GL_LUMINANCE8
• GL_LUMINANCE12
• GL_LUMINANCE16
• GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA
• GL_LUMINANCE4_ALPHA4
• GL_LUMINANCE6_ALPHA2
• GL_LUMINANCE8_ALPHA8
• GL_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA4
• GL_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA12
• GL_LUMINANCE16_ALPHA16
• GL_INTENSITY
• GL_INTENSITY4
• GL_INTENSITY8
• GL_INTENSITY12
• GL_INTENSITY16
• GL_R3_G3_B2
• GL_RGB
• GL_RGB4
• GL_RGB5
• GL_RGB8
• GL_RGB10
• GL_RGB12
• GL_RGB16
• GL_RGBA
• GL_RGBA2
• GL_RGBA4
• GL_RGB5_A1
• GL_RGBA8
• GL_RGB10_A2
• GL_RGBA12
• GL_RGBA16
• GL_SLUMINANCE
• GL_SLUMINANCE8
• GL_SLUMINANCE_ALPHA
• GL_SLUMINANCE8_ALPHA8
• GL_SRGB
• GL_SRGB8
• GL_SRGB_ALPHA
• GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8

If the texture format is any of GL_RGB, GL_RGB8, GL_RGBA, or GL_RGBA8, the tile builder attempts to use OpenGL framebuffer objects to render shapes to the texture tiles. Otherwise, this renders shapes to the framebuffer and copies the framebuffer contents to the texture tiles.

Parameters:

textureFormat - the OpenGL texture format, or 0 to use the default format.

setUseLinearFilter

public void setUseLinearFilter(boolean useLinearFilter)

Specifies if linear filtering should be used when rendering surface tiles.

Parameters:

useLinearFilter - true to use linear filtering; false to use nearest-neighbor filtering.

setUseMipmaps

public void setUseMipmaps(boolean useMipmaps)

Specifies if mip-maps should be generated for surface tile textures.

Parameters:

useMipmaps - true to generate mip-maps; false otherwise.

uniqueCacheName

protected java.lang.String uniqueCacheName()

Returns a unique name appropriate for use as part of a cache name.

Returns:

a unique cache name.

updateTile

protected void updateTile(DrawContext dc,
                          SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile tile)

Draws the current list of surface renderables into the specified surface tile. The surface tiles is updated only when necessary. The tile keeps track of the list of surface renderables rendered into it, and the state keys those objects. The tile is updated if the list changes, if any of the state keys change, or if the tile has no texture. Otherwise the tile is left unchanged and the update is skipped.

Parameters:

dc - the draw context the tile relates to.

tile - the tile to update.

updateTiles

protected void updateTiles(DrawContext dc)

Updates each SurfaceObjectTileBuilder.SurfaceObjectTile in the currentInfo. This is typically called after assembleTiles(DrawContext) to update the assembled tiles.

This method does nothing if currentTiles is empty.

Parameters:

dc - the draw context the tiles relate to.
