Partition Class Reference

Detailed Description

A Partition is a division of a Pass, which behaves like a Group. Partitions are used to organize scene elements within a Pass. There are only two types of partitions: object and light. Light partitions can only contain lights, and object partitions can only contain geometric objects.

Each pass created has at least two partitions: a background objects partition, which contains most or all of the scene's objects, and a background lights partition, which contains most or all of the scene's lights.

Member Function Documentation

bool IsA ( siClassID  in_ClassID ) const [virtual]

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:
in_ClassID class type.
Returns:
true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from Group.

siClassID GetClassID ( ) const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:
The class type.

Reimplemented from Group.

Partition& operator= ( const Partition in_obj )

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:
in_obj constant class object.
Returns:
The new Partition object.
Partition& operator= ( const CRef in_ref )

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:
in_ref constant class object.
Returns:
The new Partition object.

Reimplemented from Group.

XSI::siPartitionType GetPartitionType ( ) const

Returns the Partition type. A partition can be either an object or a light partition.

Returns:
The type of Partition
bool IsBackground ( ) const

Returns true if the Partition is a background partition. A background partition is an undeletable system partition where new objects and lights are added by default.

Returns:
true if the Partition is a background partition.
