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

Reimplemented from SIObject.

siClassID GetClassID ( ) const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:
The class type.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

RenderChannel& operator= ( const RenderChannel 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_objconstant class object.
Returns:
The new RenderChannel object.
RenderChannel& 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_refconstant class object.
Returns:
The new RenderChannel object.

Reimplemented from SIObject.

siRenderChannelType GetChannelType ( )

Returns the basic data type which the render channel will consist of. The basic data type indicates also how the data will be interpreted by XSI for display purposes and which image output formats will be available on any Framebuffer object that derives from this render channel.

Returns:
The data type of the render channel.

Framebuffer siRenderChannelType
bool GetUserDefined ( )

Indicates whether this channel was created by the user and can be deleted or that it was created by the rendering engine and is permanent.

User-defined channels are also used in the render tree for piping render data into.

Returns:
True if user-defined; false if provided by the renderer.
