Detailed Description

A configuration is a visualization session driven by an application.

The application Client can choose a configuration from a Server. The Config will be instantiated though the NodeFactory. The Config groups all processes of the application in a single session.

A configuration has a number of nodes, which represent the processes involved in it. While the Server drives all nodes, a Config instance in a given process only has its Node instantiated, that is, any given Config has at most one Node.

The Config in the application process has access to all Canvas, Segment, Layout, View and Observer instances. Only the active Layout of the each Canvas, the Frustum of each View and the Observer parameters are writable. Views can be sub-classed to attach application-specific data.

The render client processes have only access to the current View for each of their channels.

Member Function Documentation

bool eq::Config::checkEvent ( ) const

Returns:: true if events are pending.

Version:: 1.0

virtual void eq::Config::deregisterObject ( co::Object * object ) [virtual]

Deregister a distributed object.

This method ensures that the data for buffered object is kept for latency frames to allow mapping on slave nodes.

Parameters:

object the object instance.

Version:: 1.0

Implements co::ObjectHandler.

Referenced by osgScaleViewer::Config::exit().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

virtual bool eq::Config::exit ( ) [virtual]

Exit this configuration.

This method is to be called only on the application node on an initialized configuration.

Exiting a configuration calls configExit on all active render entities, releases the entities using the NodeFactory and stops the render clients.

A configuration which was not exited properly may not be re-initialized.

Returns:: true if the exit was successful, false if not.

Version:: 1.0

Reimplemented in eqPly::Config, osgScaleViewer::Config, eqNbody::Config, and eVolve::Config.

virtual uint32_t eq::Config::finishAllFrames ( ) [virtual]

Finish rendering all pending frames.

This method is to be called only on the application node on an initialized configuration.

Returns:: the frame number of the last finished frame.

Version:: 1.0

Here is the caller graph for this function:

virtual uint32_t eq::Config::finishFrame ( ) [virtual]

Finish the rendering of a frame.

This method is to be called only on the application node on an initialized configuration.

This method synchronizes the local and global rendering. The global rendering is always synchronized to finish the frame (current - latency). The local rendering is synchronized according to the current thread model (cf. Node::IATTR_THREAD_MODEL)

Returns:: the frame number of the globally finished frame, or 0 if no frame has been finished yet.

Version:: 1.0

Referenced by eVolve::EVolve::run(), osgScaleViewer::OSGScaleViewer::run(), and eqPly::EqPly::run().

Version:: 1.0

int64_t eq::Config::getTime ( ) const

Get the current time in milliseconds.

The clock in all processes of the config is synchronized to the Server clock. The precision of this synchronization is typically about 1 ms. The clock of the last instantiated config is used as the lunchbox::Log clock.

Returns:: the global time in ms.

Version:: 1.0

virtual bool eq::Config::handleEvent ( const ConfigEvent * event ) [virtual]

Handle one config event.

Parameters:

event the event.

Returns:: true if the event requires a redraw, false if not.

Version:: 1.0

Reimplemented in eqPly::Config, osgScaleViewer::Config, eVolve::Config, eqNbody::Config, and eqPixelBench::Config.

virtual void eq::Config::handleEvents ( ) [virtual]

Handle all config events.

To be called only on the application node.

Called automatically at the end of each frame to handle pending config events. The default implementation calls handleEvent() on all pending events, without blocking.

Version:: 1.0

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

Here is the caller graph for this function:

virtual bool eq::Config::init ( const uint128_t & initID ) [virtual]

Initialize this configuration.

This method is to be called only on the application node on an uninitialized configuration.

Initializing a configuration starts and connects all render clients, instantiates all active render entities (Node, Pipe, Window, Channel) using the NodeFactory of each process, and calls the configInit task methods on each of these entities, passing the given identifier.

The identifier is typically the identifier of a static Object containing initialization data.

The initialization fails if at least one of the configInit task methods fails. The application can use setErrorMessage on the render client to pass an error string to the application process, which it can query it using getError().

Parameters:

initID an identifier to be passed to all init methods.

Returns:: true if the initialization was successful, false if not.

Version:: 1.0

Referenced by eVolve::Config::init(), and eqPly::Config::init().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool eq::Config::isRunning ( ) const

Returns:: true while the config is initialized and no exit event has happened.

Reimplemented from eq::fabric::Config< Server, Config, Observer, Layout, Canvas, Node, ConfigVisitor >.

virtual uint32_t eq::Config::startFrame ( const uint128_t & frameID ) [virtual]

Request a new frame of rendering.

This method is to be called only on the application node on an initialized configuration. It implicitely calls update().

The server will sync to the new data, and generate all render tasks, which are queued on the render clients for execution.

Each call to startFrame() has to be completed by a finishFrame() or finishAllFrames() before the next call to startFrame().

Parameters:

frameID a per-frame identifier passed to all rendering methods.

Returns:: the frame number of the new frame.

Version:: 1.0

Reimplemented in eqPixelBench::Config.

void eq::Config::stopFrames ( )

Asynchronously signal all channels to interrupt their rendering.

This method may be called from any thread in the application process. It causes Channel::notifyStopFrame() to be called immediately on all active channels.

Version:: 1.0

void eq::Config::stopRunning ( )

Stop the config.

Version:: 1.0

const ConfigEvent* eq::Config::tryNextEvent ( )

Try to get the next event.

To be called only on the application node.

The returned event is valid until the next call to this method. This method does not block.

Version:: 1.0

Implements co::ObjectHandler.

Referenced by eqNbody::Pipe::configExit(), eVolve::Pipe::configExit(), eqPly::Pipe::configExit(), osgScaleViewer::Pipe::configExit(), eqPly::Config::loadData(), and eVolve::Config::mapData().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool eq::Config::update ( )

Update the configuration.

This method is to be called only on the application node on an initialized configuration. Dirty objects on the config are committed, i.e., the View, Canvas and Observer, and any changes on the configuration are effected. Changes may be caused by the eq::admin API or by the application, e.g., through a layout change on a Canvas. Any change causes an implicit finish of all outstanding frames.

This function always returns false when a resource failed to initialize or exit. When robustness is not activated, the config is exited by the update upon failure. When robustness is activated, the config keeps running and may be used with reduced functionality.

Returns:: true if the configuration update was successful, false if a resource failed to initialize or exit.
