Detailed Description

Class to make rendering a full screen quad easier.

vtkOpenGLQuadHelper is designed to be used by classes in VTK that need to render a quad to the screen with a shader program. This happens often with render passes or other advanced rendering techniques.

Note that when releasing graphics resources instances of this class should be destroyed. A common use pattern is to conditionally create the instance where used and delete it in ReleaseGraphicsResources and the destructor.

Example usage:

if (!this->QuadHelper)
{
  this->QuadHelper = vtkOpenGLQualHelper(renWin, vs, fs, gs);
}
renWin->GetShaderCache()->ReadyShaderProgram(this->QuadHelper->Program);
aTexture->Activate();
this->QuadHelper->Program->SetUniformi("aTexture", aTexture->GetTextureUnit());
this->QuadHelper->Render();
aTexture->Deactivate();

Member Function Documentation

◆ Render()

void vtkOpenGLQuadHelper::Render ( )

◆ ReleaseGraphicsResources()

void vtkOpenGLQuadHelper::ReleaseGraphicsResources ( vtkWindow * )

Release graphics resources.

In general, there's no need to call this explicitly, since vtkOpenGLQuadHelper will invoke it appropriately when needed.
