Detailed Description

A C++ class to abstract an accumulation buffer.

Depending on the OpenGL version, an FBO or glAccum() is used.

Remark: MacOS systems seem to have a buggy implementation of glAccum(), and use a workaround which needs setTotalSteps() to set up the total number of accumulations done.

1.0
EQ_API bool eq::util::Accum::resize ( const PixelViewport &  pvp)

Resize the accumulation buffer.

Parameters
pvpThe pixel viewport where the accumulation buffer will be displayed
Returns

const int  height 
)
EQ_API void eq::util::Accum::setTotalSteps ( uint32_t  totalSteps)

Set the total number of accumulation steps that will be done.

EQ_API bool eq::util::Accum::usesFBO ( ) const

Test if the accumulation uses the FBO implementation.

Returns
true if the accumulation uses an FBO, false if it uses glAccum().
