Member Function Documentation

float Camera::aspectRatio

(

)

const

Returns the camera aspect ratio.

Vector Camera::eulerAngles

(

)

const

Returns v=(x,y,z) with the Euler angles of the camera. Rotation part of the viewing matrix is Rotz(-v.z)*Rotx(v.x)*Roty(-v.y)

float Camera::fov

(

)

const

Returns the vertical field of view (degrees).

Point Camera::getObs

(

)

const

Returns the camera (eye) position.

void Camera::incrementAngleX

(

float

inc

)

Rotates the camera by increasing the rotation angle around X axis (pitch).

void Camera::incrementAngleY

(

float

inc

)

Rotates the camera by increasing the rotation angle around Y axis (yaw).

void Camera::incrementDistance

(

float

inc

)

Moves the camera away (inc>0) or towards (inc<0) the current VRP.

void Camera::init

(

const Box &

b

)

Initializes the camera from a bounding box of the scene. The camera is placed outside the box, ensuring that the whole box fits within the viewing frustum.

void Camera::pan

(

const Vector &

offset

)

Offsets the camera position and VRP.

QMatrix4x4 Camera::projectionMatrix

(

)

const

Returns a 4x4 matrix representing the projection transform of the camera.

void Camera::setAngleX

(

float

value

)

Rotates the camera by setting the rotation angle around X axis (pitch).

void Camera::setAngleY

(

float

value

)

Rotates the camera by setting the rotation angle around Y axis (yaw).

void Camera::setAngleZ

(

float

value

)

Rotates the camera by setting the rotation angle around Z axis (roll).

void Camera::setAspectRatio

(

float

ar

)

Sets the camera aspect ratio.

void Camera::setDistance

(

float

value

)

Sets the distance to the current VRP.

void Camera::setFov

(

float

fovy

)

Sets the vertical field of view (degrees).

void Camera::setZfar

(

float

z

)

Sets Z far

void Camera::setZnear

(

float

z

)

Sets Z near

void Camera::updateClippingPlanes

(

const Box &

box

)

Recomputes the near, far clipping planes according to the given bounding box.

QMatrix4x4 Camera::viewMatrix

(

)

const

Returns a 4x4 matrix representing the viewing transform of the camera.

float Camera::zfar

(

)

const

Returns zfar ( distance to the far clipping plane)

float Camera::znear

(

)

const

Returns znear ( distance to the near clipping plane)
