Class TextureRenderer

    java.lang.Object
      com.sun.opengl.util.j2d.TextureRenderer

    public class TextureRenderer

extends Object

Provides the ability to render into an OpenGL `Texture` using the Java 2D APIs. This renderer class uses an internal Java 2D image (of unspecified type) for its backing store and flushes portions of that image to an OpenGL texture on demand. The resulting OpenGL texture can then be mapped on to a polygon for display.

  Parameters:
    `d` - the new size of the backing store of this renderer
  Throws:
    `GLException` - If an OpenGL context is not current when this method is called

### setSmoothing

    public void setSmoothing(boolean smoothing)

    public void beginOrthoRendering(int width,
                                    int height)
                             throws GLException

  Convenience method which assists in rendering portions of the OpenGL texture to the screen, if the application intends to draw them as a flat overlay on to the screen. Pushes OpenGL state bits (GL_ENABLE_BIT, GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT and GL_TRANSFORM_BIT); disables the depth test, back-face culling, and lighting; enables the texture in this renderer; and sets up the viewing matrices for orthographic rendering where the coordinates go from (0, 0) at the lower left to (width, height) at the upper right. Equivalent to beginOrthoRendering(width, height, true). `endOrthoRendering()` must be used in conjunction with this method to restore all OpenGL states.

  Parameters:
    `width` - the width of the current on-screen OpenGL drawable
    `height` - the height of the current on-screen OpenGL drawable
  Throws:
    `GLException` - If an OpenGL context is not current when this method is called

### beginOrthoRendering

    public void beginOrthoRendering(int width,
                                    int height,
                                    boolean disableDepthTest)
                             throws GLException

  Convenience method which assists in rendering portions of the OpenGL texture to the screen, if the application intends to draw them as a flat overlay on to the screen. Pushes OpenGL state bits (GL_ENABLE_BIT, GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT and GL_TRANSFORM_BIT); disables the depth test (if the "disableDepthTest" argument is true), back-face culling, and lighting; enables the texture in this renderer; and sets up the viewing matrices for orthographic rendering where the coordinates go from (0, 0) at the lower left to (width, height) at the upper right. `endOrthoRendering()` must be used in conjunction with this method to restore all OpenGL states.

  Parameters:
    `width` - the width of the current on-screen OpenGL drawable
    `height` - the height of the current on-screen OpenGL drawable
    `disableDepthTest` - whether the depth test should be disabled
  Throws:
    `GLException` - If an OpenGL context is not current when this method is called

### begin3DRendering

    public void begin3DRendering()
                          throws GLException

  Convenience method which assists in rendering portions of the OpenGL texture to the screen as 2D quads in 3D space. Pushes OpenGL state (GL_ENABLE_BIT); disables lighting; and enables the texture in this renderer. Unlike `beginOrthoRendering`, does not modify the depth test, back-face culling, lighting, or the modelview or projection matrices. The user is responsible for setting up the view matrices for correct results of `draw3DRect`. `end3DRendering()` must be used in conjunction with this method to restore all OpenGL states.

  Throws:
    `GLException` - If an OpenGL context is not current when this method is called

### setColor

    public void setColor(float r,
                         float g,
                         float b,
                         float a)
                  throws GLException

  Changes the color of the polygons, and therefore the drawn images, this TextureRenderer produces. Use of this method is optional. The TextureRenderer uses the GL_MODULATE texture environment mode, which causes the portions of the rendered texture to be multiplied by the color of the rendered polygons. The polygon color can be varied to achieve effects like tinting of the overall output or fading in and out by changing the alpha of the color.

  Each component ranges from 0.0f - 1.0f. The alpha component, if used, does not need to be premultiplied into the color channels as described in the documentation for `Texture`, although premultiplied colors are used internally. The default color is opaque white.

  Parameters:
    `r` - the red component of the new color
    `g` - the green component of the new color
    `b` - the blue component of the new color
    `a` - the alpha component of the new color, 0.0f = completely transparent, 1.0f = completely opaque
  Throws:
    `GLException` - If an OpenGL context is not current when this method is called

### setColor

    public void setColor(Color color)
                  throws GLException

  Changes the current color of this TextureRenderer to the supplied one. The default color is opaque white. See `setColor` for more details.

  Parameters:
    `color` - the new color to use for rendering
  Throws:
    `GLException` - If an OpenGL context is not current when this method is called

### drawOrthoRect

                              int screeny)
                       throws GLException

  Draws an orthographically projected rectangle containing all of the underlying texture to the specified location on the screen. All (x, y) coordinates are specified relative to the lower left corner of either the texture image or the current OpenGL drawable. This method is equivalent to `drawOrthoRect(screenx, screeny, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());`.

  Parameters:
    `screenx` - the on-screen x coordinate at which to draw the rectangle
    `screeny` - the on-screen y coordinate (relative to lower left) at which to draw the rectangle
  Throws:
    `GLException` - If an OpenGL context is not current when this method is called
