Detailed Description

Implementation of a particle.

Objects of this class are particles, they have some graphical properties and some physical properties. Particles are created by emitters and then placed into Particle Systems, where they live and get updated at each frame. Particles can either live forever (lifeTime < 0), or die after a specified time (lifeTime >= 0). For each property which is defined as a range of values, a "current" value will be evaluated at each frame by interpolating the min and max values so that curr_value = min when t == 0, and curr_value = max when t == lifeTime. You may customize the interpolator objects to achieve any kind of transition. If you want the particle to live forever, set its lifetime to any value <= 0; in that case, no interpolation is done to compute real-time properties, and only minimum values are used.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Shape

enum osgParticle::Particle::Shape

Shape of particles.

NOTE: the LINE shape should be used in conjunction with FIXED alignment mode (see ParticleSystem).

Member Function Documentation

◆ getMass()

float osgParticle::Particle::getMass ( ) const

inline

Get the mass of the particle.

For built-in operators to work correctly, remember that the mass is expressed in kg.

◆ getRadius()

float osgParticle::Particle::getRadius ( ) const

inline

Get the physical radius of the particle.

For built-in operators to work correctly, lengths must be expressed in meters.

◆ getVelocity()

const osg::Vec3 & osgParticle::Particle::getVelocity ( ) const

inline

Get the velocity vector.

For built-in operators to work correctly, remember that velocity components are expressed in meters per second.

◆ setAngularVelocity()

void osgParticle::Particle::setAngularVelocity ( const osg::Vec3 & v )

inline

Set the angular velocity vector.

Components x, y and z are angles of rotation around the respective axis (in radians).

◆ setMass()

void osgParticle::Particle::setMass ( float m )

inline

Set the mass of the particle.

For built-in operators to work correctly, remember that the mass is expressed in kg.

◆ setRadius()

void osgParticle::Particle::setRadius ( float r )

inline

Set the physical radius of the particle.

For built-in operators to work correctly, lengths must be expressed in meters.

◆ setTextureTileRange()

void osgParticle::Particle::setTextureTileRange	(	int	sTile,
		int	tTile,
		int	startTile,
		int	endTile
	)

inline

Specify how the particle texture is tiled.

All tiles in the given range are sequentially displayed during the lifetime of the particle. When no range is given, all tiles are displayed during the lifetime.

◆ setVelocity()

void osgParticle::Particle::setVelocity ( const osg::Vec3 & v )

inline

Set the velocity vector.

For built-in operators to work correctly, remember that velocity components are expressed in meters per second.

◆ update()

bool osgParticle::Particle::update	(	double	dt,
		bool	onlyTimeStamp
	)

Update the particle (don't call this method manually).

This method is called automatically by ParticleSystem::update(); it updates the graphical properties of the particle for the current time, checks whether the particle is still alive, and then updates its position by computing P = P + V * dt (where P is the position and V is the velocity).
