Elements.pyECSS.Component.RenderMesh

class Elements.pyECSS.Component.RenderMesh(name=None, type=None, id=None, vertex_attributes=None, vertex_index=None)

A concrete RenderMesh class

Accepts a dedicated RenderSystem to initiate rendering of the RenderMesh, using its vertex attributes (property)

__init__(name=None, type=None, id=None, vertex_attributes=None, vertex_index=None)

Initialize the generic RenderMesh component with the vertex attribute arrays this is the generic place to store all vertex attributes (vertices, colors, normals, bone weights etc.) specifically for OpenGL buffers, these will be passed to a VertexArray by a RenderGLShaderSystem then other RenderSystems could use that vertex attribute information for their rendering, e.g. a RenderRayTracingSystem for backwards rayTracing, a RenderPathTracingSystem for pathTracing etc.

Methods

__init__([name, type, id, …])	Initialize the generic RenderMesh component with the vertex attribute arrays this is the generic place to store all vertex attributes (vertices, colors, normals, bone weights etc.) specifically for OpenGL buffers, these will be passed to a VertexArray by a RenderGLShaderSystem then other RenderSystems could use that vertex attribute information for their rendering, e.g.
accept(system[, event])	Accepts a class object to operate on the Component, based on the Visitor pattern.
add(object)	Add a Component object to the children of this Component.
getChild(index)	Get the child Component object at the given index.
getClassName()	Get the name of this Component class.
getNumberOfChildren()	Get the number of child Component objects for this Component.
init()	abstract method to be subclassed for extra initialisation
print()	prints out name, type, id, parent of this Component
remove(object)	Removes a Component object to the children of this Component.
update()	method to be subclassed for debuging purposes only, in case we need some behavioral or logic computation within the Component.

Attributes

eventManager	Get the ECSSManager of the component.
id	Get the ID of the component.
name	Get the name of the component.
parent	Get the parent of the component.
type	Get the type of the component.
vertex_attributes
vertex_index
worldManager	Get Component’s ECSSManager
