Detailed Description

The client represents a network node of the application in the cluster.

The methods initLocal() and exitLocal() should be used to set up and exit the listening node instance for each application process.

See Also: fabric::Client for public methods

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

eq::Client::Client ( )

Construct a new client.

Version: 1.0

virtual eq::Client::~Client ( )

virtual

Destruct the client.

Version: 1.0

Reimplemented from eq::fabric::Client.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void eq::Client::clientLoop ( )

protectedvirtual

Implements the processing loop for render clients.

As long as the node is running, that is, between initLocal() and an exit send from the server, this method executes received commands using processCommand() and triggers the message pump between commands.

See Also: Pipe::createMessagePump()

Version: 1.0

Reimplemented in eqPly::EqPly, and eVolve::EVolve.

Referenced by eVolve::EVolve::clientLoop(), and eqPly::EqPly::clientLoop().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool eq::Client::connectServer ( ServerPtr server )

Open and connect an Equalizer server to the local client.

The client has to be in the listening state, see initLocal().

Parameters

server the server.

Returns: true if the server was connected, false if not.

Version: 1.0

Referenced by eqPly::EqPly::run().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool eq::Client::disconnectServer ( ServerPtr server )

Disconnect and close the connection to an Equalizer server.

Parameters

server the server.

Returns: true if the server was disconnected, false if not.

Version: 1.0

Referenced by eqPly::EqPly::run().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

virtual void eq::Client::exitClient ( )

protectedvirtual

Exit the process cleanly on render clients.

Version: 1.0

virtual bool eq::Client::exitLocal ( )

virtual

De-initialize a local, listening node.

Version: 1.1.6

virtual co::CommandQueue* eq::Client::getMainThreadQueue ( )

virtual

Returns: the command queue to the main node thread.

Implements eq::fabric::Client.

bool eq::Client::hasCommands ( )

Returns: true if the client has commands pending, false otherwise.

Version: 1.0

Referenced by eqPly::EqPly::run().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

virtual bool eq::Client::initLocal	(	const int	argc,
		char **	argv
	)

virtual

Initialize a local, listening node.

The –eq-client, –eq-layout and –eq-modelunit command line options are recognized by this method.

–eq-client is used for remote nodes which have been auto-launched by another node, e.g., remote render clients. This method does not return when this command line option is present.

–eq-layout can apply multiple times. Each instance has to be followed by the name of a layout. The given layouts will be activated on all canvases using them during Config::init().

–eq-modelunit is used for scaling the rendered models in all views. The model unit defines the size of the model wrt the virtual room unit which is always in meter. The default unit is 1 (1 meter or EQ_M).

Parameters

argc	the command line argument count.
argv	the command line argument values.

Returns: true if the client was successfully initialized, false otherwise.
