Function Documentation

const RectI& dglGetClipRect

(

)

Gets the last clip rect specified by a call to dglSetClipRect

dglSetClipRect

void dglGetFrustum	(	F64 *	left,
		F64 *	right,
		F64 *	bottom,
		F64 *	top,
		F64 *	nearDist,
		F64 *	farDist
	)

Returns the parameters for the current viewing frustrum

See Also

dglSetFrustrum

void dglGetViewport

(

RectI *

outViewport

)

gets the current viewport of the window

bool dglIsOrtho

(

)

returns whether or not the coordinate system is orthographic (if it is not projected)

void dglSetClipRect

(

const RectI &

clipRect

)

Sets up an orthographical viewport and clipping region. This is best used for guis

Parameters

clipRect

The bounds of the coordinate system

void dglSetFrustum	(	F64	left,
		F64	right,
		F64	bottom,
		F64	top,
		F64	nearDist,
		F64	farDist,
		bool	ortho = false
	)

Sets the viewing frustrum. This effectively creates the view volume and sets up the 6 clipping planes (near, far, left, right, top, bottom)

Parameters

left	This is the position of the left vertical clipping plane
right	This is the position of the right vertical clipping plane
top	This is the position of the top horizontal clipping plane
bottom	This is the position of the bottom horizontal clipping plane
nearDist	This is the distance between the eye and the near clipping plane
farDist	This is the distance between the eye and the far clipping plane
ortho	(optional, default is false) If left false, calling this function will create a projection viewing volume. If true, it will be orthographic

void dglSetViewport

(

const RectI &

aViewPort

)

sets the viewport for the window
